Today is my dad's birthday. This is his card. No, it hasn't gotten mailed yet. It will be late as usual. I seem to get cards made just not mailed out in time. This image is from Phindy's Place and reminds me of my dad. He loves to create things with wood. Each year he is part of a group that makes wooden cars to give to kids at Christmas. This fits Phindy's challenge to use metal. I found the perfect brads for this card.

I thought I would share one of the calender pages that I have been working on. My daughter and hubby took a trip to Arizona to visit family and stopped at the Grand Canyon on the way home. I use Always Artichoke, Rich Razzleberry and retired Simply Scrappin kit.
Happy Thanksgiving! This weeks challenge is to use flowers on your project. I use Lili the Skunk and Skunk Sentiments. The base is made by punching a bunch of flowers gluing them down than I rubbed ink over it all. I am not sure of the ink since this base was found on the bottom of my desk when I cleaned it recently. Challenge Stamping Vacation Animal Applause Edited to add that I add this scheduled and accidentally set it for pm instead of am.
I used Tuesday Mornings Sketch for the layout of this page of my son's cruise this past summer. He spent 2 months going to many places learning all about the ship's engines. It is part of his college program. Skinny Column Indigo Blue was sprayed with blue pearl mist. Spring Green Skinny green added a pop of color.
This image is from Phindy's Place. The image is called Mr. Brown Goes Shopping. This is for Phindy's Place challenge. I started with a different image but that got messed up at the last second. I used Stampin Up Always Artichoke, Rich Razzleberry and retired DP.
Operation Write Home is collecting Valentines for a special challenge. They are trying to get 4000 by Dec 1. You can get all the detailshere.This card uses Paper Temptress Corrugated paper. I love the texture. I was going for a more male feel and think I pulled it off. What do you think? Don' t forget to vote in JoAnn's Craft for A Cause. I may be disappearing off and on. I have my hubby home this week from work and I seem to be catching all the cold bugs going around. I seem to craft just not get anything photographed.
Welcome to another Delightful Challenge. This weeks is a theme challenge of winter. I used Tango the Skating Bird. The trees are part of Christmas Accessories Set. The saying is part of Christmas Sentiments. The pond is part of stamp set from There She Goes and has distressed glossy accents. The snow is Liquid Enamel from Ranger. The ribbon and paper are from Stampin Up. Challenges Digital Tuesday- Anything with Wings Stamping Vacation- Winter Wonderland
I used Flower soft for the snow and hat. Chocolate Truffle Linen is the base. I just love that name. Emerald Linen was embossed with snowflake folder. The saying is from Stampin Up. The ribbon is on sale at Paper Temptress. I did this for Phindy's Christmas challenge.

Congrats to both Ladies! This card was made for Michelle Perket's Digi day yesterday. She released some super cut Christmas Doggie images. I figure this card isn't too bad since I made it in about 1/2 hour which is quick for me. The wreath has distress stickles and liquid pearls on it.

Here is a peek at the free image you can get if you create with the Nutcracker image by Friday, Nov. 19. Go here to the SNR Group. This is the inside of the above project. I used another one of the cute Gingerbread from Digital Delights. This cute Nutcracker image is free just for a few more hours. Go to the SNR group and grab him by Midnight Nov 12 for free or after that he will be in the store.
I got a chance to play with some new paper that my sister gave me. It is Madeline from SEI. The ribbon is from my stash. I used Stampin Up Pearls on the butterflies and the border. The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Welcome to another Delightful Challenges! This week we want to see you glitter it up. Click on the picture to see the glitter. I used Cuddles Sends Luv and retired Love sentiment that is available on the Holiday CD. The base and hearts are Sparkle Vermilion. The DP is retired SU and has a glitter effect. The Basis Pink was sprayed with Perfect Perls Mist to give it some sparkle. If you are wondering why a Valentine's card, it is because OWH is now collecting Valentine cards. It is also Digi Day on SNR. There is a cute little Nutcracker for free to pick. If you create with this image and finish by there is a cute free image. You need to go to the SNR group to see the image and a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to Digital Delights by Louby Loo.
First to let you know Digital Delights has all Christmas images on sale. Michelle is offering these wonderful papers as blog candy. You have till end of November to enter. Go here to get all the details.
Welcome to mini Release from Digital Delights from Louby Loo. I used some of the cute Gingerbread images. Wooden Spoon Ginger, Cookie Jar Ginger and Baker Ginger. The saying is one of the new ones from Marlene. You can get it here.I just think this is perfect. The Hot Coco holder is a pattern from the Cutting Cafe. Above is a simple ornament. I took a paper mache star and painted it white than added Perfect pearls Heirloom Gold Spray. The Angel has Liquid Applique. The Angel set includes the saying.
Cherry Cobbler is the base. French Folaige is the stamp set. The words are from Seasonal Sentiments. Very Vanilla ribbon was the last touch. It is for Late Night Stampers Thanksgiving challenge. I cased this card from one I did at my friend, Diane's class.
I used a Hot Coco pattern from Cutting Cafe to create this holder. It fits Phindy's Challenge of 1,2,3. I use 1 ribbon, 2 Pez A Blings, and 3 pearls. Basis Brown, Basis Burgandy and Antique Grey Linen are the papers from Paper Temptress. I sprayed the papers with my favorite Perfect Pearls mist. The saying is from Cutting Cafe.
It is time for another challenge at Delightful Challenges. This week we are asking you to sew on your card- real or faux. Sewing machines and I don't get along so I choose faux. I used the new cute image called Candy Cane Ginger. I used Mojo Mondays sketch for the layout.
This card was created for Phindy's 1000 members celebration on PCP. I used my favorite Soft Suede and Creamy Carmel to make the acorn. The pattern can be found here. It fits Phindy's Friday Challenge. The top was scored with my score it and them rubbed with ink. I colored Petticoat Patty with inks and blender pen.
I created this card for my sister's birthday. It should say belated because I created it on time but didn't get it in the mail on time. I used Apple Blossoms & Well Scripted from Stampin Up. The colors are Pear Pizazz and Rich Razzleberry. This fits 365 card a day challenge of Mad about Mint. When I saw this challenge, I thought of the color green.
The layout is from Sweet Stop Sketches. I used Christmas Itty Bitty from Sweet n Sassy and a retired SU saying. I love this layout. I have an idea for Valentines day which I know is early to think about but OWH's deadline is Jan 7. I thought the ribbon was white but in this picture it looks a little pink but still works out ok.
Above is a card created by the very talented Melanie. She is releasing a new stamp set of borders. Go here to her blog for a chance to win this set and another opportunity on Gina K's blog.

The last item of news is Patricia is having a fantastic candle party with an oppurtunity to get some wonderful Paper Temptress paper. Go here to get all the details.
Meljen's Designs had these two images as freebies awhile back. I had hope to get it done in time to mail to OWH but that didn't happen so I will use it for an Any Hero card. An Any Hero card is one that I write a note in to the soldiers to let them know that they are being thought of. The bow has some glitter to give it a bit of sparkle. It fits Meljen's Designs challenge to use two images on a project.
Today is my dad's birthday. This is his card. No, it hasn't gotten mailed yet. It will be late as usual. I seem to get cards made just not mailed out in time. This image is from Phindy's Place and reminds me of my dad. He loves to create things with wood. Each year he is part of a group that makes wooden cars to give to kids at Christmas. This fits Phindy's challenge to use metal. I found the perfect brads for this card.
