From drab to fab

Good morning and Happy Wednesday!!! It's still cold today but much less than yesterday. I have this baby card made for The Scrapbook Blessings Club. By no means, I am an expert card maker!!!  First, I have my tip of the day for you...Use glossy accents to adhere small embellishments

Onto today's project...

This sweet baby card was embossed with some blue embossing powder and the flowers were stamped and colored with prisma pencils. I could have let this card like it is, simple but I thought there was something missing.  I am by no means an expert card maker!!!

To turn the above card into a fab one, I added a banner with some alpha letters from Michaels, some twine from my stash and some sequins. Some simple embellishments and B-A-M!!!

Ta-Da!!! Let me know which one you prefer? Would you go with the first or the second one?

Hello, hello everybody! Brrr, it's really, really cold in Ontario right now...Yesterday, we had freezing rain and today, it's the aftermath..... The roads are ok but the sidewalks...No comments since the people did not clean them...Ugh!

Back to business LOL

I have been meaning to play with Kraftin Kimmie's challenge and even with my limited number of KKS stamps, I really, really wanted to come and play. So here it is

 The stamp is called Akiko and I think she is retired now but I really love her. KKS are so versatile and I could do Akiko for a birthday or a Valentine's one. I went with a get well card since my friend is sick.

She is colored with my prisma pencils and memento markers. I added some stickles glue on the embellishments and used a dots e/f for my background. I finished off with some sequins.

 Hope you can see the sparkle on her dress and the embellishments

My sketch comes from the Seize The Sketch 

Krstin Kimmie is having a Krafty Guest contest where you can win some rubbah and I wanted to try. I know there are so much talent out there, way BETTER than me... If I get it, It will be awesome and if not, well, I will try again :-) Cross fingers for me my friends...

Happy Sunday and boy am I happy it is Sunday! Why? Because the kids go to school tomorrow, yay! I should not be complaining but two weeks are way more than enough to handle my little ones. I'm pooped daily and on top of that, I have my DT assignments....Not easy at all!

Back to business here. Welcome to another challenge from The Scrapbook Blessings Club where the theme is Winter Wonderland and the technique is called Reflection Technique. We were inspired from Dawn O's video  for this technique.

Here is my CAS card:

Tip: Don't forget to color in your reflection image too! 

The stamped image is from My Local King Stamps and I colored it with my prisma pencils. The cardstock was embossed with the dots embossing folder and the sentiment added is from my alphas letters from Michaels. These snowmen sure are having the time of their life in this tug of war. Who will win?

Hope you have enjoyed my card and should you need more inspiration, please visit The Scrapbook Blessings Club. 

Until next time,

TeePee Card Tutorial

Happy Saturday! This is for the ScrapBook Blessings Club Anything goes Saturday tutorial. I chose to make a TeePee card!!!

First, I have my tip of the day for you....Have all your items ready before you start.

Onto today's project...

This is a TeePee card and I have been meaning to try this for a long time and this was inspired from Shelly's instructions. 

Here is what you need:

• 3 squares of cardstock: yellow - 5" x 5"
• 2 squares of designer paper - American Crafts - 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
• image - Candy Anneke 
• prismacolored pencils
• adhesive
• ink pad
• paper cutter
• stickers
• bone folder
• brad

Instructions

Step 1: cut your cardstock base at 5" x 5"

 Step 2: Fold each square in half from one point to the next like shown below.

 Step 3: Glue all folded squares together.

Step 4: Cut your designer papers at 4 1/2" each and cut in half, shown below.

Step 5: Glue 3 of the 4 pieces of triangle on 3 sides of the base. 

Step 6: Use the last piece of triangle on the corners. 

Here it is all assembled! 

 Here I added a brad for the closure. But you can also use velcro.

 Here is a close up of the picture I colored with my prisma pencils.

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!!! I can't believe we're in 2014...It was very cold yesterday where the temperature felt like -30 C! Brr, I could feel the cold in my bones and to top it off, we were out of power for 2 hrs!!! Thank goodness, the temperature is back to normal. 

This week's challenge for Creative Fingers is Anything goes and we are sponsored by

http://buysassystudiodesigns.blogspot.ca/

and this is what I created

This is Velma Sassy whom I colored with prisma pencils and Memento markers. Papers are from American Crafts, an old 12 x 12 pad and the sentiment is from one of those stamp sets where I didn't keep the name.
Mats were done with my spellbinders and to finish this up, I added some twine.

To find more inspiration, please visit the blog to see what my teammates have done.
