This week at  Digi Makeover Challenge  our challenge is about layers!  So it's time to layer up your cards. So for my card I used the digi "all about the cake" it was perfect because I needed a birthday card.  So this one was made especially for my wonderful sister-in-law!  I can say it because she has received it. I used a new pad of paper that I really loooove!  It's Jillybean soup - gazpacho soup I bought it at McMahon 5 on sale!  How fantastic!!!  I used a bunch of dies (classic rectangle large, latice rectangle, fancy tag 3 - all from spellbinders as well as Dee's flourish #1).  The flower is from Recollection bought at Michael's.  I added some Robin's Nest Dew drops in silver. Well since my sister-in-law loves chocolat cakes!  I thought it was perfect to color this one as a chocolat cake.So this is done with my copics and I added some stickles to the candle and the wings. Here's the wonderful sentiment from...

Hello everyone!  Welcome to another post for my  Digi Darlas  DT card.  This time our challenge is "white delight"!  Got to admit that when I read that... I started to have palpitations lol... not very fond of white... love it in small dose but to do an entire card.... that's much harder for me! So I thought and and thought some more and then I came across this most fantastic digi called Angel up!!!  Oh that was all that was required for my inspiration to come lol So for this card I used some paper from BBP.  I decided to do some embossing so that there would be some texture, so used the divine swirl Cuttlebug divine swirl embossing folder.  I used some buttons that I stacked up and I added a little Robin's Nest Dew drop pearls.  The ribbon is from my stash.  To cut out the wonderful digi I used my floral oval. I colored just a bit my image with copics and added some stickles to it.    She's soooo pretty that she real...

Today at One stitch at a time challenge  is Make 1 for Christmas!  So this is the perfect reason to start making those Christmas cards :D  I know that I'm trying to use all the possible excuses right now to get ahead lol For my card I had the pleasure of using Wish upon a star from Kaz Kraftz.  It comes as a set with or without the star!  But I thought it was wonderful with this gorgeous star. For this card I used paper from My mind's eye - The merry days of Christmas.  I also used some BBP cardstock.  The digi and the paper underneath were cut using my label 12 by spellbinder.  I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the blue paper.  I added some ribbon from my stash and so is the charm that I used.  I used some Flower soft for the snow.  I added some snowflakes cut with my MS punch and I put a little Robin's nest dew drop to it.

This week at  Crafting when we can  our challenge is to use the colors of a Flag!  And our wonderful sponsor for this week is Sassy Studio!!!!! For my card I decided to do a card with Canada's color since I'm a Canadian.  But because I wanted it for a Christmas card I used the wonderful digi from Sassy Studio called Little Honey's Russia. For this card I used paper from Basic Grey - Nordic Holiday.  I cut out the digi with Label 4 and the paper underneath with my grand label 4.  I used my regular classic circle for the circle with the sentiment and Scallop circle for the paper underneath.  I decided to add a little stack of buttons to the sentiment.  So used a white button and a red on top with a little ribbon through it.  I added a ribbon and a charm to the bottom of the card. For the image I colored it with my copics and added some stickles to the hat and the little area for her hands. The sentiment comes from  Create w...

This week at Gingerloft challenge , our challenge is about not coloring your image.... YUP no color!  That can be an easy task... but you have to use the proper image for this! For this card I fell in love with Cello 3!  I thought it was just the most wondeful image for this type of challenge.  So yes I didn't use color on my image but I really went bright for the rest!   It thought it was the perfect contrast. For this card I used some paper from Basic Grey - Konnichiwa.  I cut the digi using my rectangle fleur de lis, I used the square fleur de lis for the paper under the sentiment.  I also used rose creation also by Spellbinders.  The flourish under the flowers is from Dee's flourish #2 and I used the large flourish by Lalaland crafts.  The bling brads come from Eyelet outlets.  Here's a closer look at the wonderful digi. I thought this sentiment from Create with TLC  was just perfect with this musician.  Because...

This week at  Dutch dare  our challenge is to use lace and ribbon!  And our wonderful sponsor is Di's Digi. For my card I decided to try to stay ahead with my Christmas cards... and to use a stamp that...gulp... had not yet been inked... yikes... I've gotten sooo hooked on digis that I have not played with my stamps in quite awhile.  This one is by Penny Black and it's called Mimi dear. For this card I used paper from Basic Grey - Nordic holiday.  I used as well some card stock from BBP.  I used a few dies (Layered poinsettia, Fleur de lis rectangle, scallop circle, classic circle all from Spellbinder.  I also used Dee's wreath builder for the leaves). The ribbon and lace are from my stash.  I don't  do a lot of cards with lace... so this was a challenge for me.  I have it and love the look of it but I don't  use it a lot... what can I say that's why they call it a challenge right?!? Here's the closer image of the stamped...

Hello everyone, If you are looking for my Papelitos post... it's gone after I read the following blog  Ardilla's winning  I felt I could not represent a company that does this type of action.

Well here in Montreal, Quebec, it's really starting to cool off... so this is really making me think of the fact that winter is just around the corner...
