Shaking It Up

I shook it up and made a Santa shaker card!!!  Pretty much of a terrible story all the way around.  Before I get to that though, just wanted to say that this cute little Santa is from Paper Smooches!  CUTE set of stamps too and I love this Santa to pieces!

Stamped Mr. St. Nick, added the Liquid Applique, and cut him out.  For some unknown crazy reason I decided to make a shaker card with him!  NO problem - every one else can do it and so can I!  I'd never made one before but it just couldn't be hard.......right!  Got the acrylic stuff glued on the frame and then added the dimensionals.  Of course I added them to the wrong side - so started over!  Finally got it all put together again, added the sequins, and then made my card!  YEA!  I did it!!!  Picked the card up and shook it - it's so cute with those sequins floating around in there - and they all fell out on the desk!  Yep!!!  You don't even want to know some of the words that came out of my sweet little mouth!  LOL!   Where's the hole!  I couldn't find where they were coming out and in case you haven't noticed those dimensionals really stick - and aren't coming apart!  Ok, started over again!  Finally got it all finished and now the sequins float around perfect.......Way too much work for me though and don't know if I'll ever tackle a shaker card again!

I'm going to enter this in the Anything Goes challenge over at Paper Smooches Sparks!

Thanks for stopping by.........and keep smiling!

Fall Wreath

A little fall wreath today using some stamps from The Alley Way Stamps.  I first stamped the wreath and added that cute bird at the bottom.  The leaves were stamped separately, colored, cut out, and added along with some amber colored sequins.  Lastly, the sentiment and wooden heart added.  The wreath, bird, and sentiment are from the Wreathed in Love set and the tiny leaves from Crazy Critters.

I'll enter this in the Be Inspired Challenge for The Alley Way Stamps.  I was inspired by the colors in the panel on the left - green for that tree in the background, orange for the pumpkins, blue for the color of the bird,  and the wooden heart due to the bed of the pickup truck.

Pumpkins and Squigglefly

HUGE announcement - I am now part of the Squigglefly DT!  Great images, wonderful artists, fantastic design team, whoa.......can you tell I'm excited!!!

Our challenge at Squigglefly this week is to use pumpkins or the color of pumpkins on your card.  This should be easy with fall and Halloween right around the corner now. I used an image from Sandra Caldwell called Costume Witch.  What a cutie, right!  She's colored in Copics and then I gave her cape and hat some shine with the Wink of Stella Pen.  The patterned paper I used is from DCWV and the textured card stock from American Crafts - and then that little bat with googly eyes just had to be added.

Head on over to Squigglefly, see all the inspiration from the DT, check the challenge rules, and then enter your card for a chance to win!

Dino Birthday

A little dino card for one of the grandsons.  I think all little boys love the dinosaurs - no matter what their age.

For my card today I used several sets of stamps from Lawn Fawn - Critters in the Past for the dinosaur, palm tree, and sentiment, Life is Good for the sand/dirt he's standing on, and Critters in the Dog Park for the little bone.  The patterned paper is from DCWV Dots Stack.

I'll enter this in the Lawnscaping Challenge (Patterned Paper).
