Hello!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Oddball Stamps  and this time around the challenge is about Winter time! So for my card I decided to use the very adorable and a bit sad  Big Eye Winter Deer girl .  She kind of makes me think of me this year... I'm not the same... usually love Christmas time but this year feeling like it's a big headache... Sucks that I don't have the strength and energy to go to my parents house.... 1st time ever that we miss this.  Oh well.... it's one Christmas in a life time right?!?  So should be ok next year! I really love those images they are so fun to color!  And I figured I would send it to someone who would get the humor of the sentiment that I used with it!  I of course went non traditional Christmas colors as this is far from Traditional.

It's time for a great new release over at  Faery ink designs .  This time around the great new release is perfect to start going on those Valentine cards :)  Or just a little I'm thinking of you card!  Like I did this time around using the fabulous  Owl always love you I figured this would be a great card to send to my dad just because I wanted to say hello!!!  I really wanted the focus of the card to be on the great digi... so I left my card pretty CAS.

Hello!  It's time for me to share with you my little Christmas for the great Sparkle and glitter progressive challenge  made with the great image Christmas Party Hat . Available from the  Etsy  store if you didn't get time to enter the first part. The progressive element of the challenge is that if you enter the first part, you get the image free that is to be used in the next part of the challenge. We regularly have a  Facebook  challenge that we'd love to see your projects entered into as well. On facebook you can ogle at all the projects made by not only the EDT and facebook EDT but those made by YOU as well. So here's my Vintage looking card!!!  I just thought it fitted with this image!

HEY it's time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind .  This time around the challenge is just perfect for this time of year it's Christmas! But you know me... I had to do something that wasn't quite Christmasy because there are soooo many fabulous other images in the store.  So for my card I used the great  Lucy loo blow the skull .  I thought even if it made for a darker style Christmas card it would still be quite elegant and I think I have managed quite well!!!

Hello everyone!  Hope you are having a great weekend!!!  It's the calm before the storm of all the Christmas stuff :) So to make something fit with this season I used the great new release set over at  Doodle Pantry .  This set is called  All is calm It's such a cute little set.  I used the precolored image and decided to fussy cut it out and place it on a die cut made with my 2012 Holiday Tree set from Spellbinder. It's a pretty CAS card with just some recollection bling in the corners.  The paper is from Nordic Holiday by Basic Grey. Here's a closer look at the precolored digi: I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Decosses dynamite doodles  - 12 months of Christmas card link up. Crafty catz weekly challenge  - Last minute Christmas - can't do much better for a last minute little Christmas card :) Qkr stampede  - Trim the tree That's it for today!!!  Have a fabulous Sunday Hugs

Hello!  It's already time for the midway post over at  Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenge  and this time around it's Unusual Christmas! For this challenge we have these awesome sponsors: , , , For this card I used a great digi from  Dilly Beans  called 276 - Disturbed snowman.  It's part of a great discontinued bundle. And here's the card that I made in unusual Christmas colors as well.

Hello everyone!!!  It's time for a new challenge over at  SLS Lines digital stamps  and this time around the challenge is Christmas!!!!  So we really hope to get more participation than last time! For this challenge I used the fabulous image  Christmas elf .

Hello! It's time for a new challenge over at  Meljen's Designs  and this time around it's about wrapping paper!!! Yeah... I wasn't sure what I would do lol.  So went through my wrapping paper box and found a left over piece (I can never seem to throw away paper... just in case I have a small gift to wrap lol).  It was the perfect inspiration for this card. The image that I used is the fab  Happy holiday wreath  that I printed twice so I could do a bit of decoupage and have a 3d effect :)

Yes it really is a BRRR day :)  Snowing and windy.... yikes... oh well it's to be expected... it really is pretty from the inside lol I love playing at progressive challenges and this time around I was super happy with the latest over at  Deedees digis  because it's a great Brrr day set :)  I didn't use the polar bears... I used the precolored cake and I just LOOOOVE it because I need a fast little b-day card and it was perfect for this.

I'm back!  Just for a quick post... well actually might be back again with another lol.  Today it's snowing... and quite windy.  For once I'm very glad to be home.  Just dread the walk that I'm supposed to do everyday.... guess it might be a short one and really bundled up well!!!! So I'm here to share with you another card that I did to play in the great linky over at  Crafty Secrets  because you get some great set just for having participating!!!  And last month's set was just perfect for this card!  It's  Vintage Santa set And here's my 2nd card with this great set.  As previous I didn't do much to the image because I really love the vintage feel

Hello everyone!  It's time for my inspiration for Inky impressions rubberstamps .  And I decided to use again the super cute image   Joey and Lynnie night before Christmas digi This time around I made a close up on the adorable kids getting ready for Christmas time!!!  Reminds me of when my kids were younger :) So here's my card with this great digi

Hello!  I'm here this time with a sad heart because this is the last post that I will be doing as a Designer for Fresh Brewed Design .  Where did the time go?!?  I started back in April 2013... seems like just yesterday lol Oh well you still have a chance to play in the great challenge going on which is  Christmas Anything goes !  And to remind you of it I played with the very cute little image called  My Christmas Tree .  There's something classic about this image!

Hello everyone!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Faery Ink  and this time around the challenge is Winter Wonderland!  So perfect for this time of year! For my make I used the great image  Snow love .

Hello everyone!  It's my turn to post the inspirational post on the Art by miran  blog and I decided to go with the theme of the month which is Snowflakes.  But I used a stamp this time around.  I decided to play with the super cute  Suzie Snowflakes from Treasured Times Rubber Stamps . It's such a GORGEOUS stamp that I went all out for is card lol Here's my card!

It's time for the next challenge over at  Digi choosday .  And this time around we want to see something that you would use to decorate! I have a really really hard time making anything that has to do with Decor... So when I saw this challenge I started to sweat... and dread it... but I figured out what to make.  My dad loves owls and I figured the great one from the  Christmas Joy bundle set  would make a fabulous little decoration.  So I printed it twice (reversing one of the image and created this little jar with it.  It's my own little version of a snow globe.

Hello!  It's already time for a new challenge over at  Top Tip Tuesday .  This time around you have to share with us your inspiration :)  How cool is that!?!?   The fabulous sponsor this time around is: Here's my inspiration picture :)  It's my baby Max we got him in 2012 not so much a baby anymore... but still quite naughty and full of spunk! Tip - To make some matting of your image and to lessen the weight of your card (as well as save cardstock) try using the underlayer of your image for the die cut layer.  It's covered so it won't show that there's a whole in it if you use it on a blank white cardstock like I do. For this card I used a fab image from The East wind called  Tuxedo cat rang climbing  and it's totally the type of stuff that Max does lol

Hello!  It's time for me to share with you a different project than my other usual cards for the Sparkle and glitter !  I decided to make a little gift for my youngest son's teacher a calendar as her Christmas gift. Of course there were some great images from RSD to use for it.  So the 1st make that I'm sharing is for the month of December 2015 using a fab image from the zibbet store called  Santa with pipe It was so fun to color.  I decided to go with non traditional colors for this image.  The stars on his coat inspired me :)

Well Christmas is creeping around around the corner!!!!  And well with the fact that I haven't been well I have decided that we are not going to my family... and we are not doing a Christmas tree.... so we didn't pull out any of our regular decorations  (couldn't find the energy to go through all those boxes for what I would put). I just purchased some new stockings and some hangers and got some lights to go on the mantle and a Christmas wreath... that's all the decorations we have. I have to admit for someone that usually goes over the top (Christmas in every room of the house) this seems quite bare... so I've been making some decorations with digis.  And this is one of them :)  It's unique and since I dated it... will be able to use it in the following years in our tree and remember that we HAVE passed through this together as a family!!!  I'm soooooo grateful for my family and my friends right now.  Don't think I would have been able to go through i

I'm back and this time around is for the progressive challenge over at  Sassy Studio FB group  and this time around we get to play with OLAF!!!!!! I was sooo excited.  I printed it out and the sentiments as well... and then!  I found a great little snowglobe!!!!  You can add images in the center of it.  So I figured this would be oooooh so perfect for a gift! Here's my make with this great freebie! And here's the globe when you shake it!!!  The image was colored with my copics.  And then just cut down to size with my scissors. I just LOOOOOOVE this.  I really think it will make a very cool gift :) I'm entering this in the following challenges: Sassy Studio FB group  - Olaf freebie Crafting station challenge  - Winter holidays with snow - there's lots here :) Brown sugar challenge  - Winter Crafty catz weekly challenge  - Snowmen Red-rubber-designs   - 3d gifts that's it for this post but I will be back with something else :) Hugs

Happy St-Nicholas Day for those of you that celebrate it :)  My SIL and brother do.  So I made some cards for them and the kids.  I will be sharing one today and some later. I really love playing in the great linky over at  Crafty Secrets  because you get some great set just for having participating!!!  And last month's set was just perfect for this card!  It's  Vintage Santa set So here's my 1st card with it :) I left the image as is.

Hello everyone!  I have a little card to share with you that is using a great stamps set from  Cuddly buddly Peony collage It's one of those card that ended up totally different from what I had thought initially.... I used some silver embossing to make it after stamping the image with some versamark clear ink.

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a birthday card that I made for a special man in my life :)  He's my stepdad!  And when I got the newest sets from  Cuddly buddly called Little Poppets Birthday   I just knew this would make the perfect card because that would represent me :) Since it's for a guy I went with bolder and darker colors but still fun and non Christmasy... Don't know for you but since my b-day is in December... you get lots of b-day cards still in December colors.  So it's fun to get out of that zone and into something totally b-day! 

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a little card that I made for the inspirational post of Sls lines digital stamps  with the great image  Fairy with mask .  It's not a Christmas image but I gave it a Christmas feel. I wanted you guys to see how we could turn a regular image into a Christmas one :) I went with some non traditional Christmas colors since this is a non traditional Christmas image.

I'm back and this time around it's with a card to play in the great Dilly Beans challenge!!!!  I try not to miss it :)  So this tie when I had some left over papers from die cuts that I had done it gave me the idea to use it for this challenge! It happens to be die cuts :)  So the image that I used is the great  517 let it snow snowmen framed . I really like how this card turned out with scraps!!!! :)  And less in my scrap pile.

Hello! I'm here to share with you a little special make that I'm doing for my youngest's teacher as her Christmas gift.  I figured the fabulous new set from  Doodle pantry  was just perfect for the Calendar top!!! I've been wanting to try out something like this for a while... and this gift was the perfect time to try it out. Here's the set that I used, you have seen already a card using the precolored goose this week.  It's the Canadian Goose . I used one of the great hat and bow from the set  Hat and things And the sentiment is from this awesome set it really has ALL the French sentiments you need!  Salutations Françaises Here's my calendar top I used a Little Yellow Bicycle chipboard & Acrylic Album.  It's just stiff enough to hold open on a desk!!!

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share with you a card I made for Inky impressions rubberstamps  with one of the latest digis from the November Release   Angelica's Yummy goodies I really love that this great image comes with different baked goods!!!  Perfect for all the different occasions throughout the year. Since it's getting close to Christmas I went with a Christmas feeling.

Hello!  Wow we are already in December!!!!  It's a bit weird to be doing a DT post for Meljens designs  on a Wednesday since usually I do them on a Friday but with Christmas around the corner we will all be super busy!  So I hope that I can give you some inspiration with you a little Christmas card. For this card I used a great image called  Bundled Little Snowboy Here's my card in non traditional colors.
