Embrace your Inner Elf

Oh my word this sentiment made me laugh so darn hard. I thought everyone should get this card in November, such as a girls husband and family and inside should have your Christmas list....right??!  Sounds reasonable to me!  

This image came from no other than Whimsey Doodles.  I coloured the boots and leggings with copics and then used Christmas Stickles (I know, how appropriate,eh??). It is such a simple image and sentiment but in my small opinion it's worth it's weight in gold (good thing digis don't weigh much or I would be in the poor house).  

I used Me and My Big Ideas: Mambi paper.  It is such cute Christmas paper and lets face it, who doesn't have paper that needs to be used....lol (yes I know the hoarders hotline, but refuse to call, I still have a trail....).  

This card will be entered at Atlantic hearts Sketch Challenge, which I am proud to say I have been asked to join their team.....yeah me!!!  :). Happy Scrappin folks!

Much love,

Let It Snow...really??

Am I nuts?  It's the middle of the summer and I am thinking of snow!!!   Wake me up from this nightmare.....not so quick surfer dudes and dudettes!  I loved making this card!  I used a Penny Black stamp set called Let It Snow.  I stamped most of these images with staz on mostly because the other ink companies I have did not produce a good quality image....so not impressed!  

I actually did this as a challenge for the blog: Christmas card challenge.  

I used Stampin ups Not Quite Navy as the base; which, I then embossed snowflakes for creating my own 

background.  Then I stamped and coloured in the images.  I matted the sentiment as it seemed to help it "pop" on 

The snowmans' hand.  I ripped some white cardstock and rubbed some basic grey from Stampin up on the frayed

 top.  I hope you have a cheerific kinda day

Cheers

Christmas Monkey

Who doesn't love Dustin Pike's drawing??!  If you haven't seen it yet- ya gotta head on over to doodle dragon studios!  This little guy was one of the pics I coloured with Sharpie markers.  They always surprise me because of how bright the color comes out!  Super Cool :). 

I used Die Cuts with a View paper stack.  It is easily one of about 10 Christmas pads I have and let's face it- if you scrapbook then you have a lot of paper!  It seems that I have a ton of the stuff!  The cardstock is Bazill.  I used liquid appliqué and dried it with the all mighty heat gun :). The greeting came from Pink Cat Studios.  

The ribbon is from Stampin up.  It is super easy to use and the brads are white glitter.  The chevron is cut at 1.25 inches and I just measured at the half way mark and drew a middle mark, hand cut and then popped them up.  

Hope you have a fantastic Canada Day or Happy 4th!  Either way. Enjoy;)

Cheers,
