GFS Cheeky Chat

Isn't this one of the cutest images?!! This is a February release at GFS and I couldn't wait to get it...I just love everything it!

I really wanted a clock on the front of the card to go with the saying, so I used Glimmer Mist on a TH mask on the background to make a clock...hence the "call me any time."

Using TH's Rosette Die

I love this rosette die by Tim Holtz and had been eyeing it for a while, I just wasn't sure if I could use it in my CB. Then I found out I could...well I had to run out and get one! I also saw on his blog that he's releasing another die with the same rosettes, but in a smaller size! E-X-C-I-T-I-N-G news!

I love these flowers! Not only are they easy to make, but embellishing them is unlimited! These are for a Handmade Swap I'm in...they are going to _______, I hope she likes them.



The second set if for another swap I'm in to make handmade flowers. I'm a bit nervous because the other girls flowers are crocheted and made with material...the flowers are gorgeous from the sneek-peeks! I sure hope they consider these handmade. What do you think, would you consider them handmade?

TGF FFF Terrifically TEXTURIZED

This weeks challenge at TGF is to add 2 or 3 textures to your project...well, I think I accomplished it!

Last week I found this adorable EK Success Picnic Border Punch (at 40% off), soooooooo stinkin' cute and I knew exactly what I was going to use it on...the adorable Cheeky Cherry Pie stamp. For texture I dry embossed the white oval, the cherry leaves, and the red paper. I added the border and put white paper behind it to show the design. I added flowers, ribbon, and cherries (from the HK cart) that had sitting around for over a year! YAY for using up older supplies!



Thanks for stopping by, it's always fun to have company! :D

TGF FFF Color Combo 2-11

This is the color combo we were challenged to work with this week:


This is what I came up with using Cheeky Shooter...she is so stinkin' cute, isn't she? Do you recognize the paper on the lollipop flower? If not, look at my last post...lol! I decided to use some scraps to make the flower and the pattern was perfect for this weeks challenge too.



Lastly, WooHoo for me....I won last weeks challenge and am now the proud owner of Cheeky Howdy! Thanks GFS!

TGF FFF Sew-Easy Challenge

The challenge this week is to add sewing to your project...hand stitching, machine stitching, faux stiching...as long as it looks sewed on.

I pulled out my Bazzill In-Stitches template and piercing mat to add the flourish on the bottom of the card....not an easy feat when piercing and sewing through 6 layers of paper! I colored with Copics and AtYous, pop-dotted the 3 layers of flowers, and added Stickles to my Glossy Accents for the bubbles (love how it turned out).


On a positive note....I was finally able to link my George cartridge to cut the scalloped circle I had made on my Gyspy, now I can adjust the size according to my project, easy peasy!

Thanks for visiting... :D

GFS CHA Relay Challenge

Aloha!

This is a great challenge over at the GFS blog and the winner will get a set of the new February releases. I'm not expecting to win, but definately couldn't pass up the challenge! We were given 10 things to incorporate onto our project: A GFS image, Copics, patterned paper, cardstock, flowers, a punched border, ribbon, buttons, bling, and stitching. Here's what I came up with using the Hula Anya image and a wonderful sheet of hycinthia pp I picked up at HL this morning.

If you want to participate in the challenge you have until noon tomorrow to join, I'd love to see some friends over at one of my fav sites.


Thanks for stopping by, it's always fun having visitors!

Saturday Sketch 52

I promise....I will walk away from the GFS stamps....soon!

Club Anya and Friends Saturday Sketch 52:

I know I shouldn't be telling you this, but I really struggled with the colors on this card....especially with the pink, it seems not all pinks and reds are created equal and there's quite a bit of variance in the shades of both! With that said...

I used my stash of Heidi Grace PP and will be sad when it's gone, I really like the colors of this paper. There's lots of distressing and piercing, along with dry AND wet embossing on the Spellbinders heart die. I also used Spellbinders Nesties for the scalloped oval and the oval....gotta love those Nesties! Add some ribbon, a rose, a small key charm, too many hours, and WAH-LAH....an adorable card.



The good news is I now have one Valentine's card left to make, but which stamp to use...which stamp to use?!!

Cutie Pie

Just a quick card I made for the GFS FFF challenge/Week 1. The challenge was to use only black, turquoise...and one other color of our choice. I chose red!

This was the perfect image for a Valentine's card for my dd who is just finishing her first semester of Home-Economics...she had to bring a pie home to finish making the crust and bake it for our family, then we were to rate/grade her on the end product. Needless to say, the pie was delish and our family of 6 finished it in no time at all. That dd of ours, she's a good baker-upper!


I broke out my old corner punch for this and really like the way it looks with the image. I added some pearls, a bow, stick pins (from J's), and some gorgeous PP that feels like fabric. I printed the image on my computer and framed it in black, then pop-dotted it. A cute card for our cutie-pie!
