Owl Card

Good evening everyone!

I am sharing with you a card I made for a friend who lost her husband last month.  It has been really hard for her and I wanted to let her know that I am there for her,

I made the card using the Cindy Loo Cricut Cartridge - love the owl on that cartridge and this was the perfect fit for this card.  I thought that the purple was perfect as it was calming and I really didn't want to have it as a sympathy card but still let her know that I am there for her.

A close up shot of the bling that was added and the stamped sentiment

Don't go

These pictures were taken many years ago when I was working one-on-one with a little guy that called me KeeKee!  He was super precious to me and I really connected when the family.  When I had to say my goodbyes to working with him his mother put this t-shirt on him.  I promised that I would stay in touch and 12 years later I now consider them to be part of my family....  his mom says now that she thinks about it the t-shirt that her son wore on my last day working with him was super mean but I know she did it because they love me!

Gobble

 Good afternoon everyone

Such a beautiful day outside today.  The leaves on the trees have been changing colour over the past weeks and my daughter promises that we will get to one of Hamilton beautiful parks this long weekend!!  This weekend Canada is celebrating Thanksgiving and this long weekend couldn't have come at a better time.


 I have a card to share with you that I am going to give my dad tomorrow as he is hosting the annual Thanksgiving feast!!  (minus the potatoes that I will be supplying)

 
I just love the little turkey!!  Reminds me of a song I use to sing with the preschool children:

(sung to the more we get together)
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble
Fat Turkey, Fat Turkey
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble
Fat Turkey am I
I am not here for living: I'm here for Thanksgiving
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble
Fat Turkey am I

A view of the inside of the card below

I used the Cricut Cartridge Animal Kingdom for the turkey.

Skeleton Card

Good evening everyone,

Today I was sitting a home and browsing through the card making video's on youtube when I came across the   Diamond fold card and I thought to myself... that looks easy!  I can do it!!  So off to my craft room I go and I completed the card in under 1/2hr... now I wish I had more bling and different stamps for the side, maybe some cute saying stamps that would go with the skull but for my first folding card... not bad...

above is right after I finished it

 with a yellow back ground

 close up shot of the stamps and stickle

I think he looks pretty cute.. not too scary at all with the bling!!

Scraptastic Club - Last September Challenge

Hello eveyone...

I'm am participating in a challenge from Scraptasic Club - their last one in September... I know October 4th and I am finishing up challenges from September.  I have given up trying to get everyone's challenge complete, there is just so much inspiration out there that I can't help but want to join them all.  

So getting back to the Scraptastic Challenge.  I have joined their monthly kit club and love what I have been receiving so far!!!  So because of that I am going to make it a priority to complete all their challenges so you can see the wonderful kits they have to offer.  

The challenge was a recipe challenge:  I was to use 3 cardstock (pink behind patterned paper, green in the 19 and black in the journal box) 4 patterned papers, 3 alphas, 2 pictures, 5 buttons, 1 banner, 1 journal spot and paint.

here are some close ups of  the Layout and to show what I used - the banner (which came from one of the Scraptastic kits)  and two of the alphas the green and the pink 

the paint added to the flowers

three of the five buttons, I used Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers

and the last of the five buttons

I am also going to put this LO into the following challenges 

Whimsical Wednesday - Anything goes

Fussy and Fancy Challenge - new technique - Paint on the flowers

I am also so excited to submit this as my application to the "My Craft Spot" Design team call

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Kimberly

Hey everyone, 

I hope you are having a great weekend.  I know it is National card day but the paper I received from the Scraptasitc kit for September inspired me to complete a LO that I have been wanting to do.  My daughter loves to take pictures of herself - these ones were done with the computer and she was trying on a pair of dress up glasses. 

A close up shot of the stickles lining the side of the page giving the illusion that it is a note book.  I also journaled along the edge of the picture.

Close up shot of some of the great embellishments in the kit

Love the twine that came in the kit - had to add a banner with it!

thanks so much for stopping by.

I am submitting it into the below challenges:

My creative time: throwback - I used Plantin Schoolbook
