This card is huge, I mean gigantic! It's 4 inches wide by 9 inches high, huge! When I saw the pumpkin topiary I knew a regular card wouldn't do it justice so....lol. I made this card for the challenge over at The Corrosive Challenge Blog that Doodle Pantry is sponsoring and the theme is flourishes, anyway, anyhow. I chose a paper flourish... finally. I first had a rhinestone flourish, didn't like it, then a couple of different paper ones and finally settled on this one with the help of my stamping buddy Glenda. Thank you so much Glenda!

This is the last of the images for the Sassy Steampunk Progressive Challenge, meet Vivian, and I went all out with the glitter! I've got to get some spellbinders gears, I ran out of watch parts, lol! So I went wild with the rhinestones, big ones and little ones. This has got to be one of my favourite colour combinations. I've entered this into:
Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the Digital Tuesday challenge this week with the theme of Halloween. I've used the Spooky Wreath image with the Candy Corn Ants sentiment. Just a hint of Halloween, lots of fall, perfect. I was unsure of how to do the background and as I was walking my dog I found fabric leaves on the ground (it was garbage day yesterday, lol!!) so I picked 4 of them up and used 2 on my card, I'm a recycler!

Friends got married last weekend and this is the card I made for them. I LOVE Kenny K stamps and these stamps were perfect for them. I was very pleased how the tux turned out, I just love my prisma markers! 
I folded the edge over by 8cm to create a pocket on the inside and that's where I put the money and knew it would be safe from falling out. It made a fantastic wedding gift! I've entered this into:
This could have been made especially for me yesterday. I've been on weight watchers for 5 weeks now and thought I was doing so good last week and I gained weight! Now come on, I had a rough day, lol! On the positive side I finally had an appointment with my specialist, only 7 months after hurting my knee, and I should be having surgery on my knee within a couple of weeks. Yes, back to step aerobics! This adorable dog is from Clear Dollar Stamps called Sentimental Puppy. He does come with sentiments but the one I used I computer generated. I used the deckle rectangle so the edges would look distressed which is the challenge at Clearly Inspired challenge #29, you have another week to enter the challenge. Other challenges I've entered this into are:
This is how I felt most of last week. I had a headache from Saturday to Wednesday and finally my meds worked so I could at least think. These guys are so adorable and I can relate, lol! I left the inside blank and will fill it in later. I put crystal effects on the ice cube to give it a glaze, otherwise its pretty simple. The image says everything!
I've entered this into Totally Stampalicious for our BFF's (someone giving me meds last week was definitely my bff!) Cute Card Thursday couples, Digi's with Attitude! and Catch the Bug Challenge both are anything goes, and One Stop Craft Challenge spots and dots.
I normally don't use designer paper, this is a different look for me and I like it. This picture does not do the card justice, IRL the green on the birdie is much brighter. If you click on the photo and enlarge it, the green is much easier to see. The delightful birdie is from Doodle Pantry and I've entered this card in the Doodle Pantry Digital Doodle challenge which is the sketch, Make it Crafty blending green and yellow, Critter Sketch challenge which is a photo inspiration, Scrap-Creations spring has sprung, Charisma Cardz to die for, Stamp Something sweet, and One Stop Craft Challenge use diamonds.
This card took sooo long, lol! I love how it turned out and the colours are incredible. I used a really neat paper its like a vellum but has more cotton to it. I got it on sale for 20 cents each in a sale bin, what a steal! I sponged it with bashful blue, then used the marble cube on it. Side A was bashful blue, side B was brocade blue and side C was brilliant blue. I learned the gorgeous wedding couple from a fantastic lady in Australia, Valita's Designs and fresh folds her site is incredible.
I've entered this into One Stop Craft Challenge which is to use more than one fold, Saturday Challenge which is a couple thing, PaperPlay challenges which is to use a black base on your card,
This is the stamp that I won from Totally Stampalicious how awesome is that! I made this card for a great neighbour who spent hours snowblowing our front road when we had a huge dump of snow. If not for him we would have been stuck for days pushing people out. Thank you so much Jim, we owe you a lot!! I'm entering this into the Catch the bug sketch challenge, Totally Stampalicious , Creative Card Crew , and One Stop Craft Challenge all which are a card for a man, and CES Challenge which is no designer paper.
Yesterday the 16th was our 29th anniversary. I made this card for Robin and originally I was going to put the sentiment on the bottom so it would say Cheers on 29 fantastic years, however it didn't work so I put it on top, not perfect but I still like it. The inside says "scary huh!" Next year is the big 30 and I'll be 50, OH MY!
Ethel is one of my favorite characters from Rubbernecker, she just looks so nasty! I made this card for a friend of both of my sons. The inside says "Perfection takes time you know!" I've entered this into
