Hello crafty friends!
Are you ready for my Tuesday 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store card? This week was all about creating a magical winter scene with this sweet stamp from Dreamerland Crafts. It's called A Beary Big Hug and these two totally give me the feels. I wanted this to look like a moment captured out of a storybook so I was inspired to try a background like this one by the amazing Sandy Allnock. I gotta say, it was a lot of fun squiggling in those trees and watching it all come together just how I imagined it. I didn't want to cover up all that coloring so I kept the card clean and simple with just a sprinkling of sequins and a nice sentiment to pull it all together.
Now don't forget the monthly challenge over on the 7 Kids blog. There is plenty of time to get creative and enter in for a chance to win the $20
gift certificate!

Hello friends!
Today I am sharing the last card that I made during my time as a guest designer for MFT. This one was totally inspired by my friend's dog, Pickle. She is the most
beautiful miniature Dachshund that I have ever seen and she's quite the
character too. So I colored this little wiener dog from the Happy Pawlidays set all in black, just
like Pickle, and surrounded her with bright pops of color in the
ornaments, the inked background and the rug I borrowed from the retired BB Merry Christmoose set. Once again the coordinating Happy Pawlidays dies
were used along with some Glossy Accents that I added to the baubles
for extra shine. A thin strip of black and white striped washi tape down
the left edge of the card ties back nicely to my little black wiener
dog and adds a graphic touch to the finished card. It's such a happy scene and I know exactly who is getting it this Christmas, LOL! :)
Talk at'cha later!

TGIF!
I've been anxious to play with the cuties from the TGF/SSS exclusive Pumpkin Spice It Up set ever since I got my hands on them. But at that time I was knee deep in Halloween cards so they had to wait. Then once I jumped into Christmas I thought they might have to wait again but then a line from the old Burl Ives Holly Jolly Christmas song came to mind, "I don't know if there'll be snow but have a cup of cheer." Aha! I knew just the girl to share a cup of Christmas cheer. I did do a minor alteration to her hair by wiping away the curled ends of her bangs and drawing in straight lines just to simplify her look a bit. Then I pulled some of my all time favorite Christmas papers from October Afternoon and colored her up to match. All of a sudden I had a very festive looking little gal who is ready for the holidays. :)
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you find some time this weekend to grab a cuppa and get crafty!

Olo!
Today I'm sharing another card that I made during my MFT guest spot. I wanted to create a small contained indoor scene
combining the mischievous pup who is all tangled up in lights along with the
tree and gifts that are from the Happy Pawlidays set. I masked the tree and two of
the gifts onto the background along with the picture frame from the LJD Make Yourself at Home set, then I grabbed the Small Brick Wall Stencil and inked over everything to create the cozy brick wall. I used the coordinating BB Happy Pawlidays dies
to cut out the pup and one of the gifts so that I could easily pop them
up off the scene just a bit. There is glossy accents on the lights which looks cool in person but didn't quite get picked up in the photo. The large sentiment from the Handwritten Holiday set is a nice counter balance to the top heavy design and since I used red ink it also ties in to the bits of red up in the scene.
Later gators! :)
Supply list:
cardstock- Papertrey Ink
stamps- My Favorite Things (BB Happy Pawlidays set, LJD Make Yourself at Home set and Handwritten Holiday set)

Hey there!
It's the second Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for the November 'anything goes' challenge over on the 7 Kids challenge blog.
Playing along is easy, all you have to do is use at least one product
that can be found in the 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store and link back to the challenge
blog in your own post, which gives you a chance at winning a $20 gift
certificate at the end of the month... who doesn't love that?
I've been such a fan of the Little Agenda stamp sets from Mama Elephant so when they released the Little Santa Agenda and Little Reindeer Agenda sets I had to add them to my collection. These tiny stamps manage to have so much character and I quickly realized that as cute as they are on their own I could super size the impact they made on my card by masking a whole group of them together. So why not create a line up a la 'The Usual Suspects' of Santa and his eight tiny reindeer as they get ready for Christmas? I used my Misti to stamp them because the grid on it made it easy to keep them all lined up nice and even. Once I had them all stamped and colored up I decided to add prominent shadows at their feet to help ground them and add a bit of drama to a very clean and simple design. I can't even tell you how happy this card makes me! :)
I hope to see some of my crafty friends get their jolly on and join the fun with me this month over at 7 Kids!

Hello crafty friends!
I'm here today with my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store
card creation. Last week was all about Halloween and now I'm diving straight into Christmas... kinda like Angel Evangeline is diving into that tree, LOL! Evangeline is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and she absolutely cracks me up! As soon as I saw her I was reminded of the scene in Elf where Buddy uses the couch to spring into the tree in an attempt to place the topper. She looks to have that same kind of enthusiasm for the holiday. Either that or Evangeline has finally cracked under all the pressure to present the 'perfect' Christmas, thus the funny sentiment that I ended up pairing with her. ;)
I am also adding this to the current Saturday challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and the theme is 'magic'. I figure the inherent magic of the Christmas season certainly qualifies. :)
Ok then, the October challenge just wrapped up but be sure to check out the 7 Kids blog

coming into the store every day and that $20 gift certificate would really fill a stocking!

Hello, hello!
Yesterday we got our first winter storm of the season and it dropped about five or six inches of snow on us in less than 24 hours. I think that makes this card quite appropriate to share today. This frosty fella is Mr. Snowman from A Day For Daisies and I've had him printed out for ages just waiting to get on a card. He is paired up with some classic My Mind's Eye paper that is still in my top 10 most favorite Christmas collections evah.The soft colors suited him quite nicely and I did my best to match them with my Copics.
Alrighty friends, I've gotta get this day started. Talk at'cha again tomorrow!
