ICS 44

So sorry I am late again this week. What is up with me? I have been battling a sick dog for the past week. We have taken her to a few vets and called a few more, but they can not seem to pinpoint the problem. :(. So I just wait. Thank you to Stacy and Callie and some other wonderful friends who have offered help and advice. I have been trying all of it!

On to my card. I made this card using Dawn's very fun and cute sketch #44. I love it!!! I really do plan to use this one again this week for another card I hope to have time to make.

Do you love this image as much as I do?? I think it is the CUTEST reindeer ever!!! i smiled from ear to ear when I first saw him. Want to know where I got him ... I will tell you!!! :D However, you will have to wait for him. He is a new Busy Beauties Boutique image, created by my very talented friend Mrs. Carolyn bounds, that will be available soon. We are having a hop, fun, and lots of cards to share with you that day!

I colored him with my prismacolor markers, stickles and added rhinestones. The colors I chose were red, brown and kraft for the challenge at The Little Paper Shop.

Hope you all are having a great week and have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Soooo Excited!!!

Coffee Break Time!!!

Yes! I actually made my 3 o'clock coffee break time today! WOOOOOOooooOOO! It has been a ritual for me to be done with homeschooling, cleaning and all that wonderfully fun stuff by 3 and I always had my coffee brewed and took a break. This schoolyear .. well... lets just say I think this is the first day this has happened. sigh. I am so happy though because that means I actually DID it and it will be possible to do it again! :o)

Holly Wreath Snowman

I made a card to share with you using another one of my newest Snowman images I released over the weekend. I think he is sweet. I love seeing all of the wreaths adorning everyones entry ways and I thought it would be just as cute with a snowman :o). I used the sketch provided at The Pink Elephant for this card. I am also submitting it to the Cupcake Craft Challenge: digital images as well as the Little Paper Shop challenge: die cuts. I used my cricut for every cut of this card (minus cutting out the image itself).



I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I am off to enjoy my freshly brewed coffee, listen to my kids hum while they draw, get dinner ready, and go to ballet. I am very blessed. :o).

Let's Talk Turkey

Good Morning! Are you ready for another one of Dawn's amazingly gorgeous sketches? I had a lot of fun with this one. Her layouts are always so fun and inspiring to create with. I chose to use Tom Turkey for this card. I plan to send this one to my Granny. I remember all of the wonderful thanksgivings we all had together, all the laughs and fun. She is also a coffee addict, so I know she will laugh and appreciate this card.

When I look at Tom I think many things. His eyes all bugged out because he has drank way too much coffee, he is terrified to sleep, becuase he knows that as soon as he did, Farmer Sam (or Carolyn;) would have his head. Literally. OK, I will hush before I make myself sick and am unable to eat turkey on Thanksgiving day myself *grin*.

I used all RAKed paper, old buttons, CB tile and Houndstooth folders, Martha Stewart leaf punch and prismacolor markers for this card.

I am submitting this card to the Stamptacular Sunday challenge #33: Turkey Time

OWH Blog Hop Winners

I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday. Mine was overall a very nice day. .. I am just not so sure how it all went by so quickly. I am so sorry for posting the winners of the OWH Blog Hop so late. I hope you will forgive me. I really have no excuse except time had gotten away from me. I was wanting to make a few more cards for today, and I guess I thought I would have time to pulll that off, so I waited.
