Merry Christmas

QKR Stampede has a new challenge and this week and it's Happy Holidays.  I have colored this image called digi24238 Old Time Santa.  The corners are punched with a Stampin' Up corner punch. I added a red bow & gems for a little bling.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up as is the die used to cut it.  It's all mounted on Stampin' Up cardstock.

Thanks for looking and have a great day and a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the challenge this week at  Penny's Paper Crafty, and I have colored this new "Holiday Pie" image.  The challenge is "Favorite Technique or Color" and I love red and I love to fussy cut.  I have added a few glittered snowflakes, red gems, and some silver thread.  My greeting is Stampin' Up and punched with an EK Success punch and it's all layered on Stampin' Up cardstock and a Joy Craft die. Oh I love using my die cuts also.

Thanks for looking and have a great day and an equally great Christmas.  I will be entering this card in the following challenges...

Merry Christmas

QKR Stampede has a new challenge up and this week it's "3 of your favorite embellishments."  I have colored this cute turtle "Digi6906 Santa's Helper"and added just a couple of embellishments. First I punched the edge with a Martha Stewart punch, then added some ribbon and punched out a Merry Christmas with a Stampin' Up punch.   Then finished it off with my new favorite embellishment, sticky dots.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Celebrate

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the challenges at Craftitude and Crafts 4 Eterninty this week and this is the card I made to fit both of these challenges.  Craftitude has a sparkle challlenge and Crafts 4 Eternity has chaos.  I put sparkle on almost everything.  The background paper is blue and silver gliter paper and the snowflakes and the greeting have Diamond Stickles added and a rhinestone in the center.  The wreath had a red Stickles for the balls. The snowflakes are from a Stampin' Up die and the greeting is also from Stampin' Up, both the stamp and the punch.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.  I will be adding this card to the following challenges...

How Many Days to Christmas

QKR Stampede is sponsoring the Crafty Ribbons Challenge Special Advent Event and I have made this card using digi9802 Fresh Cut Tree.  I colored this cute image using Copics and cut it with an oval die from Spellbinders using a out of the box technique.  The greeting is punched using a Stampin' Up punch. I added a ribbon and some red gems.

He looks about as worried about how many days are left before Christmas as I do about now.  I am usually almost done shopping by this time of the year and I have hardly even started.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Merry Christmas

QKR Stampede has a new challenge and this week it's "White on White with a touch of red or green."  I have colored this digi24238 Old Time Santa in green.  I hope that this ins't too much of a touch of green.  The image is fussy cut and mounted on layers of white and green cardstock.  I cut the Christmas tree using a Marianne Designs die and then used both the tree and the cardstock I cut it from and just offset it enough to have the layer of green show through.  It is hard to see but the tree has beautiful embossing on it.  I added a couple of corner embellishments that are raised and the sentiment is punched using a Stampin" Up punch.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day.  I am entering this card in the following challenges...

Season's Greetings

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the challenge at Pinspirational Challenges and they have a photo as inspiration and this is what  I created using "Samantha Sassy."  I added a large Christmas ornament and a few clustered together like the bowl filled with ornaments in the sponsor's photo.  These were cut using a Stampin' Up punch.  The greeting was cut from the one of the papers I used.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Merry Christmas

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the challenge this week at Artistic Inspirations and I have colored this great image "All Wrapped Up" with Copics and mounted it on Christmas papers from the Paper Studio.  The sentiment is punched using a Stampin' Up punch and I added some buttons and a gold & white cord.

I Believe In Santa

Welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs Blog Hop & New Release. You should have arrived from my Sassy Sister Chris's Blog an if you didn't please go back and start at the beginning and see the great inspiration each has created.  I have colored this great image "Waiting for Santa" using Copic Markers and a silver gel pen for the stars on her pjs. The background papers are from Recollections, the gold snowflakes are punched using a Martha Stewart punch, the silver snowflake was made using a Marianne Designs die with silver paper (and this paper didn't cut good) It seemed to have a layer of glue in between a layer of paper & a layer of glitter and that glue seemed to keep it from cutting correctly.  My greeting is computer generated and punched with a Stampin' Up punch and the blue shape with gold outline is a new Stampin' Up die.

Please leave a comment for a chance to win this image before you hop off to see what Lindsay has created.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.  Remember to check back later in the week to see the list of winners.

Great Gifts to Give Blog Hop

QKR Stampede (Nov 1st) and Eureka Stamps (Nov 2nd) are having a sister shop - blog hop to showcase some great gifts you can make with the stamps that are available at the stores.  You should have arrived here after seeing the great projects on Emily's Blog and if you didn't you should go back and start at the beginning and see all of the great projects that everyone has made.  I have made 4 mini albums using QKR Stampede images colored with Copics, each book a little different, that I will be giving as gifts this year.  I made each album using the heavy cardboard backs from my 12 x 12 paper packs and cut them to 6 x 6.  Then covered with cardstock and papers that I love.  The actual pages are 5.75 x 5.75 and glued folded to make the album.  Some have ribbon to tie the book closed and some have a button with gold cord.

 Let's look at the Zoo Trip - I used 3 images Digi 24330 Zebra, 2316 Giraffe, & 24334 Leopard, which colored up so easy and made this project come together quick.   Then I found coordinating papers and some stickers for the title.  This book is for one my grandkids and I will need to make 2 more, so they can each have one.  Here are a few close up photos of the inside. 

I had better show the finished one with the photos inside.

Now have a look at the Western Recipe Round Up - I used 3 digi images for this book:  9204 Cowboy Boot,  12814 Playing Cowboys, & 14101 Dinner Time.  I added a few "Western" Recipes with pictures attached and mounted all of this on some rustic looking papers

Next I have 2 Christmas themed albums, both covers look the same  and the insides are different, and I used 3 more images - 15701 Holly, 19603 Pine Cone Accent, &  15702 Pine Sprig.  One book is for my Mother-in-Law, sort of a Christmas memory book and the other I did up as a Favorite Family Recipes of Christmas. 

Please remember to leave a comment for a chance to win 2 images and also leave a comment on each of the sponsor sites for the chance to win a Grand Prize of 6 images from that site, and then you can head off to Bettina's Blog and see her great projects.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.  And since this hop will run for 7 days you have time to get the comments entered.  One more thing, if you like what you've seen you can become a follower too, I'm really close to reaching 100 followers and I will have a little candy after I hit that mark.

Bee Happy

Kitty Bee Designs still has the challenge going for "Black White and 1 more color, so I have a mid challenge inspiration here.  I have used this cute Bee image and colored it Copics and layered it on several papers. The wings have some Stickles added just because I think wings need to sparkle.  The yellow paper has been punched using a Martha Stewart punch and the black was cute with a Spellbinders Die.  I had a tag, ribbon, and some yellow ribbon flowers.

We had a great time out there last night trick or treating.  The weather was good and I haven't see so many kids out there having fun for several years. I even saw a couple of kids dressed up looking just like my bee.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.
