Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #16

Hey everyone!

My weeks are currently going by in Hyperthrust Turbo Boost. I feel like I am about a Lightyear behind. Just when I think I have finished for the day I remember another project, job or chore that needs doing. But that’s okay, after the 6th of December, things should settle down. So in a short 2  1/2 weeks I will be back to normal…….I hope! LOL!

But onto this weeks challenge-

This time I didn’t go with the butterflies, but I didn’t veer to far from them……owls are pretty cute and I haven’t played with my Owl Together Now set since convention back in May. I used it for one of my swaps. I had three different designs for my swaps, but Makeesha liked the owl card very much. I should play with it more. Here is what I came up with-

I really like how this one has turned out. You should have seen my first attempt! It was shocking. It’s one of those cards you hide away, never to see daylight again…LOL! I made it with one of the preorder sets for the Summer Mini. The idea was good but the end result was BAD!!! Sorry Karen! It’s even worse than an ugly card. You can’t make me show it. LOL!

I used a bowl from the kitchen to create my circle. I will invest in some Circle Scissors one day soon I can assure you. With the heart I just smothered it in ink and then rubbed Crystal effects over it to make it glossy before I added the button and twine. The bottom strip of the card was looking a tad to bland so I used the tree from Thoughts and Prayers and clear embossed it to jazz it up a bit. Now I look at it I should have done that all around the card. Oh well!

Cuttlebug Special Project!

Well I had a great day with Theresa today. While I made my project for the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog (which is just sooo cute! Don’t you think?!), Theresa taught me how to make Fritters her way! Oh my gosh they were delicious! But not as delicious as her Pumpkin Soup, She promised to teach me that recipe next time. See girls I can craft and learn to cook at the same time….LMAO

I told you it was cute! I’m making nine more for my kids to give to friends and teachers this week before they start their holidays. I cannot believe how fast the first term has gone!!!!? What??!! Where did the the time go??Don’t answer that question! I don’t really need to know. I’m having too much fun!

Kristina Werner CI # 39

Wow!! Two posts in one day…..that’s not like me.

But I could not resist this challenge! Just check these colours out. They are so bright and bold. I thought they were so bold that I decided to use only small amounts of them and have white as my base….

So what do you think? This would have to be the first card I have done that has minimal everything! But I better go and submit before I run out of time!

Some more Valentine Luurve!

I had a great night last night with my upline Theresa. We have not seen each other in a while. Me being busy with kids and Theresa being busy with work would probably be the cause. But it was great to catch up and I’m going there again today to do more awesome cards.

Everything on the card is SU except the buttons they are Autumn Leaves. I had to put them on they are just too cute.

Well I had better go and buy the kids uniforms today. Not long now and I will have three kiddies off to school. How exciting! Then I will be left with one. And he is not going to know what hit him. He will be lost without them.

Merry Christmas!!

I thought I would pop on here today and wish all the friends I have made in the blogging world a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Also to thank everyone who has left me such wonderful and inspiring comments since I started my blog  (you all know who you are). Thank you!

I will probably not post again until the new year, as we are all going away for the holidays. Guess where we are going?? Go on guess…….. We are going to Fraser, we are going to Fraser, we are going to Fraser (I’m singing this in a teasing tone mind you…hehe). Luckily for me I have a house sitter, so now I don’t have to worry about shifting the animals to a kennel or about the house (pheew).

I suppose I could leave you with one more card before I embark on my adventure. Here it is-

You can purchase these little beauties from the 10th of November til the 30th of November. Don’t let this slip through your fingers people……it’s just too good to pass up!

My little family!

This week I received my first Stampin’ Start order! (how exciting!!) I cannot wait now to achieve the others. It would be just grand wouldn’t it! Well one of the free sets I chose was All in the Family. This set is just adorable and so much fun to play with! I had a quick play and made a card featuring my family, everyone except the dog and cat! I just couldn’t fit them in on this card. but I will probably do a photo frame and feature them in there.

I have a big family don’t I? Well it’s decided. We won’t be having anymore. My reason is that I just won’t be able to fit them on a card!!!….lol. But then again I could probably put one of the kids on someones shoulders. I might have a play and see what I come up with! It could work you know. The colours on this one is the same as the latest  kwerner CI. And I just sponged the sky on and cut the grass. This is the second one I had to do as my youngest, gorgeous, ever helpful son threw my first attempt in the toilet! He must love my work! No seriously he must, as only important and special things get thrown in the toilet  …lol. Well I hope you enjoyed my little creation.
