Hello everyone!  I'm feeling like total crap... spent most of the day in bed with fever and a really bad cough... man... my oldest came home with a cold and right away I end up sick :( I'm still here to share with you a card that I made WAY back to participate in the contest for the 13th days of Halloween over at Simply Betty  and I'm one of the lucky 6 contenders now for the title of Halloween Princess as well as a fabulous prize. I finally get to share with you the make that I did to participate in this challenge!  Hope you like it... took me forever to do... lol To make this card I used the Betty Boos house, Witchy Mrs Boo, Franken Babe Betty and Spirited Betty.  I printed the house a few times... and one smaller version to actually use as a template to make the shape of the card.  Must be the most elaborate card that I ever managed to make...  I didn't have any acetate so I used an old package and cut out the plastic to use it to hold my witch and...

Good evening everyone!  Another super long day!!!  Wow sooooo looking forward to the budgets being done. I'm here to share with you a little card that I made this past Monday... when I had some time lol.  I really wanted to get this done for the FB fan page challenge of SB.  It's using the fabulous Witch Mercedes.  And the sentiment also comes with her.  I'm cutting it close... it's getting to be the last days to submit our creations... wow do months ever go by fast!!! I decided to create a card with some of my favorite color combination!  Purple and green.

I have another sad post for you.... and I will have a 3rd one as well.  I really hate making this type of cards... I think cards should always be for cheerful occasions but unfortunately this is not the case. It's especially hard I think so close to the holidays.  I just learned that one of my friends lost her dad.  So I made this card for her. For this card I used a freebie that was made from Simply Betty for the shooting in Newton.  I paired it up with one of the sentiment made as well from Simply Betty. For this card I used paper from Basic grey - oxford.  I used some Robin's nest dew drops as well. Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored with my copics and to which I added some stickles: And the look at the sentiment: For this card I followed this sketch: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Tuesday morning sketches  - Sketch Aud sentiments challenge  - Use any sentiment Inky impressions c...

Today I have a few sad card to share with you.  The 1st one I made in Honor of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. I was devastated on my birthday when I heard about the tragedy.  I'm the mother of 4 kids and I could not imagine something so horrendous!  And when we heard about the courageous acts of the devoted wow. I have created something with the great digi offered for this occasion from Digital Delight . For this card I used paper from American Craft - Jolly.  I thought that even if it's such a sad occasion it was young kids and that bright colors would be the right ones for this card.  I used my standard circle and scallop circle from Spellbinder for this card.  I added some pearls and a flower from my stash and I used vintage photo distress ink on the sentiment that was a freebie from Simply Betty for this sad occasion. Here's the look of the precolored digi. And the sentiment that's so perfect for this I followed t...
