Christmas Greetings

This weeks AHSC was super fun and and easy to adapt for my card.  This week we are working on sketch number 34.  Here is the sketch:

The card image and bench came from All That Scraps or C.c. designs.  I used Prismacolors and Gamesol to color the image.  I used echo Park paper; however, I could not find the line.  The sentiment came from a stampin up set.  I cut the black snowflake with a cricut cartridge to help ground the image.  The puffy part on the image is appliqué from CTMH.  

Have a scrap happy day folks!  Come join us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, we would love to see ya!  

Cheers

I loosly based my card this week on the AHSC #33 sketch.  Here is the sketch:

I used Digi images from Kris at Imagine That!  I am honoured to have been asked to be on her design team beginning in January.  I was fortunate to enter her challenge last month and got these cute little gingerbread people.  They are so stinking cute.  So with these images I wanted to create a card that also was based on the sketch.  

I dug out the prismacolors and used gamsol to to blend the image but they are the pre copic blending of the world....lol. Old school is sometimes better!  I used liquid appliqué from CTMH to add "icing". The google eyes were added because my darling daughter said they made them crazy...teehee.  I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the tray and ran it through the Big Shot with the fan folder from Stampin Up.  The banner was created by printing off the sentiment and folding the edges to create a banner.  

Last but not least the background was created with distress dots stamp from stampin up, which I inked with Versamark and used sparkly embossing powder.  I wiped the holiday red from CTMH with a baby wipe.  The patterned paper came from CTMH -holiday 2013.  I really enjoyed making this card as it reminded me to use some supplies I have had a very long time...lol 

Happy scrapping y'all

PEACE on Earth AHSC #32

Today's sketch from Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge I tipped sideways.  Somedays I just can't get my brain to see things the way they should...lol

I love the flexibility of using theses sketches and applying them to already wonderful stamps.  The hippie chick comes from All that Scraps!  I love digital stamps and I have filled Christine for a few years. Amy R creates cool sentiments from her shoppe too....just sayin:).  

I used a piece of chipboard to create the sentiment and covered it with paper that looked like jeans.  I used all scraps to get some used (ask Melanie about the mount I am trying to work through...lol). I coloured her with Sharpies and promarkers (hair was completed with promarkers).  I had a gellieroller pen for her boots and used Stickles for her shirt.  

I just used a spellbinder to mimic the earth and stamped Happy Holidays inside.  I really love the look of a card when it is finished inside.  

Like my hippie chick. I sure hope you have amazing holidays and humanity can find some Peace on Earth.

Cheers,

Hello folks,

Recently I have discovered: Imagine That Digi Stamps by Kris!  Love them!  This weeks card sketch inspired me to get the image printed (I have had it for quite some time) and get the copics out and get colouring!  

 I really enjoyed this sketch because it was a different size card and I had to think about the orientation

Of the card.  I used my copics and MAMBI Paper. I had some brads and voila card almost complete. I also added some circles punched from red cardstock, a little corner bling and some holiday CTMH ribbon!  

Hope you enjoyed another card from moi!  Have a scrap happy day folks. 

Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas!

Cheers

Birthday Surprise for Imagine That!

I have a friend, very very talented friend, that said, " look at the stamps at Imagine That".  Now she is so good she got on the design team and as you can imagine I couldn't help but look at all the wonderful talent offered.  So to make a long story even longer I guessed a few sentiments for a set (and won..... Holy moly). So when asked about the second set I won I chose something I could easily make a card for the monthly challenge.........and so without further adieu .....here is my Birthday Seahorse card!

I have been so busy I can only take my photos at night and the lighting is not quite as good as it should be.  I used the Birthday Seahorse for this card, you can find it at : https://www.imaginethatdigistamp.com/.         I used cardstock that was very neon yellow, not sure of the brand.  

Then I used copics to color the seahorse, and the background.  I made sparkly waves with stickles and used 

American Crafts ribbon.  

I hope that you enjoy another card created by me!  I also am selling CTMH. You can find my web page at http://tarah.ctmh.com/Default.aspx.  

Hope you have a great day! And happy scrapping folks

Cheers,

Elves four main food groups........AHSC #28

I loved doing this weeks sketch because I got to combine my love of Whimsie Doodle stamps with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  This weeks sketch is created by Michelle Stewart and darla Haverstock does the techie stuff!  Rock on girls, love the inspiration!  Go check it out at:

http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/2013/11/sketch-29-ahsc.html

You know you wanna!  Give yourself the boost in the butt you need to get the card factory churning!  

My little elf came from Whimsie Doodles.  They have the best digital stamps around!  They are cute and the 

sentiments are very cleaver!  I searched the web for the sentiment and had to,paraphrase a bit but the essence 

Is still captured!  Really?  Who doesn't LOVE candy, especially at Christmas?  You can find Whimsie Doodles at:

http://www.whimsiedoodles.com/

I used crate paper: snowy day collection.  I have had it for a very long time so I figured I should probably dust it 

off...teehee.  I also dug out some holiday red CTMH ribbon.  Having a stash Is great but I sure would like to 

whittle it down some!  The silver bling came from American Crafts.  The copics I used are as follows:

I sure hope you get to enter the AHSC and get a tiny bit of shopping at Whimsie Doodles to boot! 

 Have a scrap happy day and thanks for dropping by!

Cheers!

LAUGH: until your heart overflows....AHSC #27

This week while chatting with Michelle I realized I did not have the card completed for the challenge...opps!  I kicked in gear and created a 3x3 card I. A quick hurry!  This is the link for the challenge and sketch:

http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/p/november-team-b.html

I mostly used CTMH product this week....it just happened that way...lol.  The image came from a winter set I purchased last year and didn't get to use.  The sentiment was also stamped and embossed .  I used epoxy bling!   A new found love!  They were just too easy to use!  Then I wrapped Bo bunny:Blitzen collection with Stampin up twine.  This will be a great after Christmas/ winter thank you or thinking of you card.  Hope you enjoyed this "blink of the Eye" quick run-down!  

Have a scrap-tastic day! 

Cheers y'all

Whimsie doodle Happy Holidays AHSC # 27

I have been one busy girlie lately!  I love being busy but my body...not so much!  This weeks AHSC had to be rotated for my card but just the same it was a ton of fun and excitement!  We only have something like 59 more sleeps until Christmas!  If I am truthful, there is nothing better than seeing my little girls face when we wake up and the wonder and amazement the day brings!

For this card I used a Whimsie Doodle digi image!  I absolutely love the images from there.  

 used my copics to color the digital image.  Then I used stickles in ice blue and icicle to bling her up.  I used a large rhinestone from some recollections ones I had. I used liquid appliqué to create a faux snow pile.  

I have noticed sequins on many projects lately so I used a few for snowflakes.  I think it turned out pretty cute!  The sentiment I printed on the cardstock and used Close To My Heart silver ribbon!  I used black recollections cardstock to mat the image and patterned paper.  The white paper was embossed with an embossing folder then I used silver ink to "pop" the image.  I side some paper from a 6 inch Bo Bunny stack.  

As a colleague use to say just do the quick and dirty!  Folks that is mine...lol

Have a scrap happy day! 

Cheers,
