Thanks guys!

BLOG HOP TOMORROW- APRIL 30!!

CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR THE DETAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mojo meets Dotty Men......

Here is a spaceship.....yup a spaceship.....a digital image from Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps....image is actually called "Spaceships" and comes with 2 other spaceships as well.

Enuf with the word spaceships already.......geesh!

I made a birthday card with 'my image' in preparation for upcoming birthdays. I figured boys are more into the color blue  (& the dreaded word 'spaceships' [shudder] haha) so that is the monotone color I went with for the Cards for Men challenge.

I used the MoJo Monday sketch & instead of a ribbon & bow on the bottom, I used these sticky felt letters & a brad. I hope that is ok!

Also the DP I used for the background & middle-back-ground (make sense?) has lots o' dots on them allowing me to enter Your Next Stamp Challenge of going dotty.

Yay for me for using yet more of my daughter's leftover friendship bracelet beads on the spaceship lights! Gives it a freaky kinda look dontcha think.

Hope you all had a good 'hump' day!

My daughter..........

This is my daughter Hannah. She is 9. Just turned 9 on April 9.

She recieved a gift certificate from Roberta (aka Prairie Fairy) for highlights. Hannah had the idea for highlights long before her birthday, so with all her birthday cash (because apparently that's what kids get nowadays- CASH) she wanted to get streaks! Thanks to Aunty Roberta she could save her cash.

OMG she looks so much older! I love it! Absolutly love it. (oh ya, here is her before pic at Easter time).

YIKES!

"Let's go to the HOP.......o baby....."

I feel a hop a startin' !! Prairie Fairy & Paper Temptress are brewing something up!! Stay tuned!!

Currently undergoing changes!

I am becoming a three column blog. Bare with me. Should have reconstruction done soon!

Snow Fairy Fun

Let me just start by saying that this is my 19th Christmas Card since the beginning of January. I am well on my way to having 50 Christmas Cards come Christmas time, thanks to all these wonderful Christmas Card Challenges.

Next let me apologize to all of you whose blogs I do not respond to regularily. Until recently I can honestly say I was a 'Dashboard Virgin'. Until someone mentioned that they saw my candy on their dashboard, I never really knew what that "Dashboard" was for. So again, I apologize and will try to make more of an effort to follow-back my followers who visit regularily.

If you don't see me in a while, pls let me know, cuz really I am not a snobby-blogger! For Real! I'm not! haha.

Onto my card.

The image is from (you guessed it) Prairie Fairy Designs & it is called Snow Fairy Fun. I used the sketch from Twisted Sketches...turned it on it's side & elongated it onto my easle card......for the Dutch Dare Challenge (where I repeated my paper & ribbon & added buttons to the base). I am also going to be entering the blog hop challenge over at the TownScrapper. This is the 2nd part of their 2 part blog hop & the theme is "Girlie". I missed the first part  & have yet to check out all the  blogs for the 2nd part, but rest assured when I am done, my card is sooooooooooooooo there!!!!!

This is also an entry for Susie & Vikki's Christmas Club Challenge where the theme is to use one of the following words (Joy, Noel, Peace). Mrs. Prairie Fairy herself is sponsoring their challenge this week, so head on over & check out what she's offering up as a prize!!

And over at Bah!Humbug the idea is to provide a "Pinkylicious" Christmas project. Hopefully this one works for ya'll!!  

And finally at Winter Wonderland challenge the theme is anything goes!

***************************************************************************

I am soooooooooooo excited because after cleaning out my daughters room the other day & ending up with numerous garage sale items, lotsa stuffs for our local 2nd hand store & 1 lrg black garbage bag filled with junk to the rim....I ended up scoring her friendship bracelet material that she just didn't want anymore. So here on the card in the corner of the top part I put some little pink beads! There are so many great colors & sizes to chose from, I just don't know where to begin !!

Snowflakes & ice!

It's snowing over here in Canada.............OK not really, but I am making a card that has to do with snowflakes & ice.

First of all let me just mention that the image I used is from Prairie Fairy Designs. He is called Hockey Beary & he fit the next two challenges perfectly.

Over at Fab's Big Christmas Cards Challenge the theme is Snowflakes & embossing. I am not sure if you can tell, but I embossed the light blue paper (behind Hockey Beary) with snowflakes.

And over at ABC Christmas Challenge the theme is ICE with the extra of snowflakes.

Underneath Hockey Beary's skates, there is ice. I added a thick layer of crystal effects to simulate that! I am not sure if you can really tell. I also added some liquid applique to the "ice" to make it look like snow.

The sketch is from MoJo Monday.

As previously mentioned, I am in the process of redoing my daughter's room & we are halfway done. Just need to clean up the walls, buy some shelves, put them up and add a couple little do-dads & VOILA!!

Will post pics at a later date.

Just trying to keep busy...........

Oh boy, where do I begin. I went out yesterday (shopping)...........I don't get out much lately being on maternity leave with 3 kids (thank goodness 1 is in school) .................& once I got into the store I was like a kid in a candy shop! I didn't even know where to begin (to buy stuff) as I want to redo my daughters room (on a budget of course) & I want stuff for crafting & I want storage containers for my embellies & hubby needs stuff for his business..............oh man, my mind is racing!

In the meantime, however, I was able to pull this little card together. Took me 3 days, but hey as each day passed I realized I was eligible for more challenges. YAY!

The image is one I stamped from my friend Kelly over at Kelly's Kreative Korner & honestly don't know her name! I really should've wrote the name of the stamps when I stamped them, but of course I didn't!

I colored her with watercolor pencil crayons, baby oil and blending stumps. My new favorite technique!

The challenges for 'my little girl card' are Creative Inspirations Challenge (3 flowers, 2 DP & 1 ribbon), Cute Card Thursday (sketch), Pixie Dust Studio Challenge (tag it), Charisma Cardz Challenge (quote me), Dare U 2 Digi Stamp (flowers), & Stamp Something (Charmed Somethings). I am also entering this card in the Totally Gorjuss Challenge, of course I am not sure if this is a Gorjuss image or not, I suppose they'll let me know!!

So that's my card for today. And this is my purchase from yesterday. Yup, it is a holder for a man's (or woman's), nuts, bolts, screws, washers etc. I bought it & asked hubby if he would use it should it not work out for me!! He said sure.

BUT LOOK AT IT! IT'S FULL !  I have 3 empty compartments. I could honestly use another, except with bigger compartments like the ones on the bottom.

Hubby said he will mount this on the wall for me later! I am soooooooooooo happy!

(Yes, I got stuff for my daughters room too and will be organizing that later today, perhaps we;ll take before & after shots of that!)

Have a great day!  

Beggin'

I can't hardly believe it is Friday AGAIN.....where did this last week go!

It is time for another Fairy Fun Friday Challenge. This week the theme is to distress your card. Sponge, tear, sand.....do whatever you have to do to distress your cards.  This is my DT card & the image is compliments of  Prairie Fairy Designs and like the title of my post suggests, it is called "Beggin' ".

I made it into a thank you card, as I seem to still be behind on my thank you for gifts for my new babe. Yup going on 7 weeks later and I'm so far behind I think I'm first!!

The sketch is from Pollycaft Monday & the tearing allows me to enter this card in the Die-Cut Dreams challenge. Also at the Fab'n'Funky challenge blog they are asking you to 'get it all out' & use stash that you haven't used in FOREVER! I have not used my doggy paper pack or stickers in a long, long, long time. I don't know if you can tell but the first paper I tore has doggy bones on it, and the DP with all the circles if from the same pack as are the 'Thank you' letter stickers! I bought this pack for my puppies scrapbook and after doing a few pages 2 yrs ago, I set it aside. I AM SO BAD!!!

Buttons & felty flowers are from Scrapaganza last weekend. Yup, some of my new purchases!!

Hope everyone has a fantabulous day!

Freebie & DT tryout..............

Ok, so this WAS a freebie over at the Prairie Fairy blog, for her DT call, however is no longer there. I believe her name is 'Daisy Fairy' & I am hoping it becomes an image you can purchase in her online Digital Store- Prairie Fairy Digital Designs. Feel free to pop over and check out her other images, they are simply adorable!!

Aside from the challenges listed below, I am also entering this card in the DT call over at Pile it On! (Spring) ......so wish me luck & cross your fingers!!!

I chose to color this fairy just as busily as the background. I think she turned out ok. The sketch is Friday Sketchers & this challenge ends tomorrow. Hopefully I am not too late.
I have also chose to enter my fairy in the Digital Tuesday Challenge blog (April flowers/showers) & A Spoon Full of Sugar (Happy Birthday).


I am soooooo happy to have gotten some bling last weekend at Scrapaganza! I was just aching to use it and I finally found a card to accomodate it!! YAY!!

I must run now as my 6 wk old is crying (nap time) & my 2 yr old is emptying all the toys out of his room and brining them outside, since it is such a beautiful day. Maybe I'll go take a nap in the sun, when both of them nap!??!?!



Don't forget to check out my candy!!

Karen's Doodles

Imagine my delight & surprise when I awoke this morning to find Karen's Doodles UK Challenge to be a monochromatic scheme. I made this card a while ago when I first purchased the image and thought the browns really accented the image!! This image is called "Love me Forever" and can be purchased at Karen's Doodles blog.

Other Challenges are:
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge- open, anything goes
Stamp Something- layered
