whoa!

Hey all!

Just to let you know, this might be my last post till after Christmas...we'll see. ;)

Made for Sketchy Thursday and The Play Date Cafe

{loved this image - too bad I didn't take advantage of it}

 

 So,...yeah, I'm not really satisfied with this one. I think the colors are too drab...I was trying to go for a vintagy-ish look, but kinda completely and utterly failed at that. I think I'll stick with my bright-ish colors from now on.

Here's a look at the weather around here, except we have about two more inches than shown.

Looks like we're gonna have a white Christmas this year. ;) Last year, a drab Christmas and a white Easter - not cool.

{Have a blessed Christmas, my friends; may the miracle of the birth of Christ fill your hearts with peace and joy.}

I got a birthday boy card for yinz today. ;)

For Kraftin' Kimmie, SSIC, Hands Full of Stamps, Danni's Dreams, Twisted Sketches and Pile It On...

 Supplies: SU! white, chipboard, Bazzil cardstock, scrap paper, gems, ribbon, Sugarloaf stamp, Scrappy Cat orange

This is actually the first card I've made using the Cuttlebug I got last Christmas. WAIT! Before you rip out my guts for misusing such a wonderful little machine, I promise you you'll be seeing more cards made using it after Christmas. I'll be getting Nestabilities Label Eight, and I'm sooo excited!!

Now that that's all out and done with, I'm gonna tell you a little bit about one of my now favorite papercrafting supplies; chipboard! I use on almost all my card, whether you see it or not. Sometimes it's right in front of your face, like the above, and sometimes I sneak it in by using it to pop up embellishments, also used above; cut to make the lions mane and end of tail pop out. I use it to make embellishments stand out so I don't have to buy those little foamie pads, which are expensive around here. I get it practically free; how, you may ask? Well, you can find it on the back of art paper pads, scrapbooking paper pads - lots of stuff - and for free!...{well, kinda ;) }

Oh, and one more thing; I was featured as one of the highlighted cards over at Little Red Wagon for this card...

Thanks ladies! :)
