Little Kitty Meuu Meuu

Hubby's away in Daytona for the 24 Hour Daytona Race Practice. I'm here with a clean house and nothing really great on TV so I decided to make another card for my daughter. You can pretty much guess if it has a cat on it, it's for her! My soon to be DIL and son will be moving to Germany this coming fall and I know I'll be mailing stuff to them too. Need to find out what images she likes as I already know she like purple. =)

I used the really cute treat bag die set, ribbon and card stock from Stampin' Up. My pattern papers and image are digital and I used my Copic's (like always) to make a gray tuxedo kitty with green eyes. I think I'll keep a hold of it for a little longer and send it to her for Valentine's Day. Maybe send a wee bit of chocolate or something. But for now, I want to play along with a challenge I used to be design for, Cut It Up. If you enjoy making 3D items with die cuts or die cut machines, you should head over and check it out.

Know what I've missed??

Being able to simply play along with a really fun challenge (or two). Although, I must admit I really need to find an outlet for all these cards I've been making over the past year or so! I've got so many there's no way I could meet enough people to mail them to. lol

I have had this chicken stamp for a number of years and have always thought it was just the cutest image. I picked it up one year at a local rubber stamping convention. My sentiment is from So Suzy Stamps. I used twine, card stock and pattern paper from packages I bought from either Hobby Lobby or Joann Fabrics. My inks are Copic and Distress Inks.

 

For this cute little gal, I used a great Tiddly Inks image and papers from Stampin Up with a bit of sheer ribbon from Joann Fabrics. I used my Copics to give her some color and added a bit of glossy accents to her flowers.

Challenges I am entering:
             Leinzlove Tear Bears Challenge

Happy days to you...

Wow, where did 2015 go? It's insane how slowly it starts out and then by the end of the year, you're suffering from whiplash! So, here are a few pics of the fun we had this Christmas. Wildman with his Nerf Doominator and Sissy sportin' her new "warmies".

We had a great holiday but sadly, our oldest son and his fiance weren't here this year. We will get to see them soon I hope, maybe this spring.

So, I've got some news to share, it's been a while since I shared personal goodies here.... we have had some big changes here in our home. I've had to refocus on my medical conditions and stress/depression management - need to figure some things out. That and we will be moving again, one more time. It'll more than likely be sooner than we expected. And after this move we will be able to stay put for a good number of years - THANK GOODNESS!! I've moved way too many times in the past 3 years. More than I care to admit. And due to this upcoming move, I'll be working hard to get things organized, cleaned out and packed. I've decided to step down from a few of my DT assignments. I just won't have the time or energy to focus on my duties. I will continue to work with Scribbles Designs and share those challenges and projects with you. I will also check in from time to time with other little life "thangs". Hopefully you'll hang out with me and maybe even come over to Scribbles to join in the challenge fun!

Bingo a Go Go

I really hope you all had a GREAT holiday and that it was filled with family and friends. And if you are anything like me, you've been itching to get back into my craft room to have a little alone, me, fun time too. So, I am back again today with the 3rd and fourth weeks of a super fun challenge over at  Scribbles Designs. It's all about the fun of a game we've all played at least once, Bingo!

So, IF you haven't played a BINGO challenge before it is a pretty easy concept to follow.  Simply create a card or other kind of project using any 5 items listed below in a row--across, down or diagonally, it is up to you.  Just as long as you follow the standard 5 in a row using those elements to create your card you will be just fine! Here's Sandy's Bingo board.

When I came across this  GREAT, SUPER funny image set I knew I had to use it for my DT cards for the entire challenge and with a handful of wonderfully zany images and sentiments in the set it was super easy!

Images I've used: When Crap Happens

I used the center row going down from the bingo board and have included bling, pattern paper, ribbon and twine with my card. My free items were the little black buttons. The ribbon I pushed thru a small cut in the image of the toilet paper, it's suppose to look kinda like TP. I added the clear bling to the roll dispenser, handle and "bolts" on the toilet itself.

This month's sponsors...

Top Scribbler receives $10 worth of digital images, winner's choice 
Top 3 receives $3 worth of digital images

So, now it's your turn to come up with a wonderful take on an age old fav - BINGO!! Remember to follow 5 items in a row from the card above and boy oh boy, I can't wait to see it! Be sure you go to Scribble Designs Challenge blog and add your card to the linky. I'll see you there!

B-I-N-G-O!!

I just love Bingo, don't you?

But hold on there Skippy, there's a whole new way to play and it's super fun! Sandy of Scribbles Designs decided to make the last challenge of the year a fun game of Card Bingo. If you haven't played a BINGO challenge before it is a pretty easy concept to follow.  Simply create a card or other kind of project using any 5 items listed below in a row--across, down or diagonally, it is up to you.  Just as long as you follow the standard 5 in a row using those elements to create your card you will be just fine! Here's Sandy's Bingo board.

I decided I'd had enough Christmas cards for the year, already made, signed, addressed and mailed my cards for this year, soooo, I came across this  GREAT image set - super funny.

Images I've used: When Crap Happens

I decided to use the center row going down from the bingo card and I used bling, pattern paper, ribbon, twine and my doily was the freebie. I pulled out my old crimp-er thangy too. It's pretty cool I must say - haven't used it in a long time!

Kitty Bee Christmas part 1

Hello my friends! So glad you are here to hear about the brand new challenge for Kitty Bee Designs ~  Aloha Friday Challenges! The theme is just perfect for this time of year, can you guess?? It's Christmas! yeppie

 

I decided to create a card that was just a little more special as it's just a wonderful time of the year - it's a double wiper card! I used this tutorial I found here. I simply adjusted to have two wipers. It's much easier than it looks, I promise. I adore these two little giraffe images from Kitty Bee Designs! BTW - if you are in the Etsy shop and don't see the image you'd love and have seen before, just let KBD know via a message thru Etsy shop.

My pattern papers are from SU, the ribbons are from Joann Fabrics and the white cardstock is Neenah. So, now it's your turn to add your Christmas inspired creation to the challenge - get your supplies out, get craftin' and I'll see you on the Aloha Friday Challenges page!

I hope you and yours all have a wonderful, safe holiday filled with love, happiness and joy!

Thanks for stopping by!
