The image that I used is  Snowman with star .

Hello!  Hope you all had a fabulous Saturday!  Today was my b-day and I got totally spoiled!!!   I got lots of phone calls this morning from family members and then we went as a family to see the new Hunger games.   After that we went to the restaurant and ate like little pigs ;o)  And to top it all off I got a wonderful homemade b-day card from my daughter and signed by everyone as well as a gift that my hubby picked!!!  A great memory box die ;o)  Such a shock. Didn't expect that die so I'm super happy!!!  And even if I have a lot he managed to pick one that I didn't  have!!! I'm really really spoiled! So after all that wonderful excitement I'm here to share with you some creations that I made this week and didn't share yet!  For this 1st one I'm showing you my card for the progressive challenge over at  From the heart stamps  and this time we had to choose!  So very cruel!!!  So I chose for the Birds hence the title of the post.

Hello!  I'm doing a post just for fun this morning ;o)  It's the 1 day that I don't have any preschedule posts so I can post if I want or not lol  And of course I wanted!  I did a bunch of cards this weekend so need to share them right?!? So this time I'm using the great image Sleddin Snowman from Oak Pond that's one of the great freebies this month over at  Lady Anne's Progressive challenge . This is what I did with it.  The other image is colored I just need to put it on a card;o)

Hello everyone!  So how was your Tuesday?!?  Mine was ok, spent most of the day in a meeting downtown...  very anxiously waiting for Christmas to come around!!!! I'm here tonight to share with you a card that I made with  the image for the progressive challenge over at  Imagine that digi stamp  this time there are 2 cute little images!!!  I used the little boy digi.

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you my 2nd post of the day.  This time my post for you is for  Ikes world challenge blog .  And our challenge this time around is about Christmas is coming! And I'm very sorry.... but I'm again playing with an exclusive image that Ike had done as a freebie... If you really like it... well I would suggest that you bug her so that she puts it in the store!!!  It was in my digis to play... and well it was calling my name and was just perfect for this card!  He's called snowman.

Hello everyone!  This is a pretty sentimental post for me!  This is my last post as a DT for  Tuesday throwdown  after 1 year and almost 1/2 I thought it was time to resign for a fabulous team.    Right now they are having a DT call and you will want to try out!  They are such an awesome group of ladies super supportive... sniff sniff sniff always hard to leave but I know that I will be seeing them in blog land!!! So for this challenge you will love it, it's  What Christmas Means to You !!!  How fabulously easy right??! Our awesome sponsor is   Just loooove those images! And for my creation I got to play with the very fun Marshmallow snowman.  Yup another snowman on my blog.  But I have to admit I really love snowmen and this one was super fun to play with.  I made a little pillow box that's been used to put a gift card. The little box was made with my Cameo.  I used some leftover piece of DP from Little yellow bicycle.  I added some little snowflakes done with my c

Hello!  Hope you had a great Monday!  I'm very glad it's over on this side of the world.  It was a snowy Monday lol I really hate to start my week being stuck in traffic lol So I'm here for a quick little post tonight to share with you a little card that I made to participate in the great  Deedees digis  progressive challenge!!!  I'm totally addicted to these challenges.  And this time around since I needed to make a lot of Christmas cards this weekend (15 in all for some colleagues....) I took the easy route and used the precolored digi. I really love that option when you can use a precolored digi for a fast little card. You can then concentrate on the layout! This great little set comes in color and none colored and has some great sentiment as well as a little conductor gingerbread man.  In my case I used only the engine.  And if you haven't participated yet you can get this great set for the low price of 1.5$$$  what a steal!  That's what I did last month

Hello everyone!  It's Monday yet again... but the good news is that it's the start of a new challenge over at  Melonheadz Friends . This time our challenge for you is Christmas.  So I hope that many of you will be participating. For my little project I used  Snowman bundle .  I thought it was just perfect for my little gift card holder.  I'm going to be giving out in the gift for the teachers 1 little pillow box and 1 little gift card holder.  I think that everyone is always in need of those... so it's a good idea for a gift.  And I wanted to make something other than a card because... well I have made lots lol So here's the opened look.

Ok so I promise this will be the last post of the night ;o)  This time I'm making a little card again for some of my colleagues (remember?!? 15 cards?!  well this is one of them). I had purchased this cute digi from  The East wind .  The one that I'm using is the cute  Christmas snowman  and he's only 1.5$!!!  What a deal.

OK so it's a really really busy night on my blog ;o)  I'm here this time to share with you some little cards that will be part of the gift that I will be giving out to a friend. My post is with the fabulous images from  Nicecrane designs .  If you don't know this blog check it out because there's some great freebies on this site!!!  Now I'm using this set for my creation There's actually 10 digis in that set!!!  What a great deal. So here are my 3 little cards: All 3 different looks with some papers from my stash.  As well as some ribbons that I had.  What do you think?  Cute? I'm entering this in the following challenges: Robyns fetish challenge blog  - Must have a bow The squirrel and the fox  - summer or winter (while the 2 1st cards are more sping the last one is more summer time birds ;o) 365 cards  - Feathered That's one more post done... hmmm will this be the last of the night?!? Hugs

I'm back as promised!  And this time I'm here to share with you a little tag that I made to participate in the  Meljen's challenge  which is tag this time. I had sprayed a bunch of tags a while back with some different inks.  So this was the perfect opportunity to use one! The little image that I used is the fabulous  Penguin little letter .  He's soooo cute!  Well all of Meljen's images are....

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a fabulous Sunday.  Mine went by way too fast as usual lol.  We are decorating at work (actually there's a contest going on...) so I needed to create a fireplace, some trees and a snowman... ;o)  And I managed to get it all done.  I will be posting pictures at a later date. I also needed some Christmas cards because I had promised to do some for my colleagues.  15 in all... and I managed to do the last 5 today... as well as some other little cards and a tag!  Woohooo what a day! ;o)  I'm exhausted lol So here's a little card that I made to give as part of a little pack to my massage therapist ;o)  The image is called bird 05 singing it's part of this set  Bird notes digital art stamp set . I used some scrap papers that I had as well as my Curved rectangles from Spellbinder.  The image was colored using my distress markers and I used some vintage photo distress ink all around. I'm entering this little card in the following chall

Hello everyone!  It's Sunday, my the weekend goes by so very fast... and I have so much to do with Christmas coming lol So it's time for a new challenge over at  Scribble and Scrap craft challenge  and as usual our challenge is Anything goes. For my card I used one of the fabulous digis from Vintage girls . For this card I used some papers from my stash.  I really wanted to give this card a vintage feel.  I added some vintage lace also from my stash and a little sticker flower from the dollar store.  The image was fussy cut.  I wanted to have some cards without sentiments in my stash and this was the perfect opportunity to create one! I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Pink gem challenge blog  - Anything goes All sorts challenge  - Anything but Christmas Izazov challenge  - Shabby chic Scrapping 4 fun challenges  - Anything goes That's it for this post.  It's going to be one very busy Sunday!!!  Lots to do in preparation for a v

Hello!  I'm back and this time I have a little card using a fabulous  Mi Ran  image!!!  I'm playing with Flapper digital stamp . I went with a vintage feel for this card.  And went over the top with my embellishments compared to what I normally do.

Hello everyone!  It's Friday!!!!!!  WOOOOOHOOOO thought this week would never end!  It's been a pretty hectic work time. Our company just announced the deal that I was working on which is that we purchased a total of 74 weekly newspaper from our competitor.  So that's pretty awesome.  Our group will become bigger... and well so will my work load lol  that's what happens when you are in finance...  but it's great news.  But it's kept me too busy to craft this past few weeks... I've only had the weekends to play. So I'm here to share with you my creation for the new challenge over at  Delicious Doodles Challenge .  Our challenge for you this time is Christmas or New year. For my card I used the fabulous digi Snowy mail box that you can find here .  I totally love this traditional image!!!

Hello everyone!!! It's time for a fabulous new release over at  Digital Delights  and wow oh wow it's totally awesome. For my little project I used the fabulous digi  Gift giving Susie  and  I paired it off with a little sentiment from the Christmas Sentiment set  which is only 2$$$ right now what a great deal for so many fabulous sentiments. I decided to make something different than a card.  I think I'm totally addicted to the pillow boxes right now lol  I printed the image twice and colored some of the parts twice like the bow at the top and the little hands to be able to raise them up. The box was made using my fabulous Cameo. I then embossed it with a cuttlebug embossing folder that I had used some Peacock feather distress ink on.  This was to be able to enter a challenge over at  Scrapbook blessings  which is letterpress... but it's for a card... and well this is a box :(  but it was super fun to do anyway lol.  I added some little snowflakes from the dolla

Hello!  It's Thursday and this means a new challenge over at  Creative knockouts  and this time our challenge for you is Christmas Splendor. Our awesome sponsor for you is And for my project I used the very cute Snowman with bird house.  I really really love playing with snowmen right now!!! ;o) The box was made using my fabulous Cameo. I then embossed it with a cuttlebug embossing folder that I had used some Peacock feather distress ink on.  This was to be able to enter a challenge over at  Scrapbook blessings  which is letterpress... but it's for a card... and well this is a box :(  but it was super fun to do anyway lol.  I cut the digi with my Label 11 and the great sentiment from  Create with TLC  with my scallop and large circle from Spellbinder.  I added a bunch of stickles to the image for the snow and the image was colored with my copics. I'm entering this little box in the following challenges: Abc christmas challenge  - out of the box, no square al

Hello everyone!  It's Wednesday!!! So that means that we are halfway to the weekend!!!  YAY!!!! Looking forward to that. So for today, since I didn't have any regular post to share with you, I figured that I would show you a little card that I made this weekend to participate in the latest  Doodle pantry blog .  Not only do you get an awesome set just for participating (using one of their digis) but you also have a chance to win a fabulous gift certificate!!!  And why wouldn't you use their digis?!?  They have some free ones!!! And last month I was the winner!!!  So excited and of course I couldn't wait to go and shop... and ended up purchasing more lol Anyway, here's my card with the last month's freebie called Snowman pile up.  I colored it up with my copics.  The sentiment is also from that set.

Hello everyone.  For my 2nd post of the day I'm here to share with you a little card that I made to cheer up a colleague's granddaughters.  For those of you that follow my blog, you will remember me talking about my colleague who had lost her son in law.  This will be the 1st Christmas for the family and already it's pretty emotional... So that family included 2 daughters (both figure skaters) and one hockey player.  I thought I would make a special card to show the little figure skate girl.  So I'm using a fabulous digi from  Mi Ran  and it can be found here . Here's my card with her.

Hello everyone!  It is time for another Bit By the Bug Tuesday and that means that it is time to introduce you all to the newest freebie over at  Creative Bug on the Loose .  This week we have... Reindeer It's the perfect digi for Christmas Here's my card with this great image (click read more for the rest of the post)

Hello everyone!!!  How was your Monday?!?  Mine was ok.  It's over ;o)  And I went and committed myself to something lol... I went and offered to do the Christmas cards for my group of employees... I was offered to give some store bought... but... they seemed so plain.... So now I have to make fast fast 15 cards!!!  Well a little less because I have a few left but still... that's 15!!!! It's a good thing that I still had some fabulous images to play with!  One that's a brand new  Star in my pocket   This one is called  Snowflake . So I played tonight with her and this is what I came up with.  It really helps that I really wanted to play over at  From the heart sketch .  They had an awesome sketch to help my mojo!!!

It's time for a new challenge over at  Path of Positivity challenge  and this time our challenge for you is a perfect one with the Holidays coming. It's Joy!!!  But please remember to tell us something about what joy means to you!  That's part of the challenge ;o) Our fabulous sponsor this time is and as always there's also some fabulous prizes from       So for my post I'm using the great digi Have a tweet Christmas from Fresh Brewed design. For me Joy is the time over the holidays that we spend as a family.  Getting up and staying in our pjs all day doing what we love.  Playing some board games ;o)  I just find that there's not enough moments spent as a family.  We are running around all the time!!  So over the holidays, we usually put 2 days on the calendar as pj days, were we don't go out, don't do errands and just have fun as a family!!!  And that to me is the ultimate joy.

Wooohooo it's time for a new release over at  Fresh Brewed designs .  And boy oh boy did I have fun with my image!!! It's totally adorable. It's called Snow what fun and it really really is fun!

It's already Monday!!! The weekend goes by way too fast!!!  And so this means it's time for a new challenge over at  Eureka stamps This time our new challenge is Button it up!  And I had messed it up the 1st time around lol when I came to post it to the group blog... I realized that I hadn't used the buttons.  So took care of that. For this card I used the great digi 22401 Santa riding Reindeer.

Ok so this is my 2nd post of the night.  And this time I followed the same sketch as my last card but with a great digi from  Nicecrane designs . I used one of the great digis from  Christmas Children Greetings .  And Julie Anne if you are reading this please STOP right now ;o) So I made this card for my SIL and brother who will be celebrating St-Nicholas day this week.

Hello everyone!!!  So how was your Sunday?!?  Mine was pretty busy.  I've pretty much finished mailing out my Christmas cards.  Still have a few here and there to do but nothing major the most are sent!!!  WOOOHOO that's pretty fast for me.  And yes I'm still making Christmas cards lol I'm in the mood and I figure I can give them away as gifts this upcoming year. So for this card that I'm about to share with you, I have used a fabulous digi Christmas tree star  it's from  Star in my pocket .  I don't know if you know those digis but soooo cute!!!

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you my DT card for the midway post of our challenge over at  Scribbles Designs challenge . Our challenge this time is Remembrance and fancy folds. So for my card I used the fabulous  Medallion-1 And BTW if you didn't know there's an awesome sale going on right now that you will want to take advantage of! I decided again to make a sympathy card as I sadly seem to need more and more of those.  Unfortunately I made it in French... because I've been needing those as well... and well I would have needed 2 in English yesterday... so this would have been perfect but I had to go with something else!  Never seem to have the right one on hand even if I do craft like crazy lol I used my Cameo to make this flip flop or swing card.

Hello Everyone!!!  Hope you are having a fabulous Sunday!  It's already December!  And it's starting to look a lot like Christmas in my house... we put the tree up yesterday as well as the stocking and everything else.  I have too much lol I was exhausted!  But at least it's done and the kids are happy. So I'm here today to share with you my DT project for  613 Avenue Create .  This time our twist if you decide to follow it is Gift pack. Our fabulous sponsor is Totally adore working with those images!!!  So this time I'm working with the great You Want WHAT?   I thought it was the perfect image to use on a little pillow gift box!  It's perfect to put some $$$ or some gift cards. I have a feeling with that image that it might discourage the person who's getting the gift from opening it before... well at least I hope lol I cut the box using my cameo!!!  Totally adore this tool for all my 3d stuff!  It's really removing all the guessing out

Hello everyone, I'm sooooo happy it's Saturday!  So a day off.  Now just need to see what I will be doing this weekend... might end up being my Christmas tree... Meanwhile it's time for my DT post over at  Fresh Brewed designs . For my post in keeping with my Christmas creating here's a little card using the digi  Building a snowman .
