Happy New Year!

     This little fellow is wiping the slate clean for a brand new year!  So am I.  :-)
     I'm so excited to be able to share another year with all my old AND new cyber friends.  For those of you who've been with me for a while, thank you for all the encouragement you've given me.  I hope I've been able to return the favor.  For my newer followers I look forward to getting to know you better.  So glad you decided to join me in my crafty journey.  :-)  I'm excited about the places it may go this year.
     I'll be back tomorrow with the winner of my candy (you still have until midnight CST to enter) and that special second ADFD gift voucher.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A Year In Review Blog Hop

     My friend Cheryl at She Stamps by Cheryl had a post today about a cool Year In Review Blog Hop being hosted by Karin at With an "i" for Paper.  It's a chance for you to share your favorite cards and projects from the year.  The hop starts at Karin's where you can add your name to the linky and start hopping to the other participants blogs.  There are even some prizes being offered.

     I have to say that looking back through this years card crop was kind of painful in some places.  LOL  Thank goodness I have started to grow a little in my crafting.  :-)  Here's a list of some of my favorite cards I've made this year. I'll warn you, it's an eclectic mix.  :-)  You can click on the month to be taken to the original postings on my blog.

January--image from Digi Doodle Shop.

February--image from A Day For Daisies. 

March--image from A Day For Daisies.

April--image from Lili of the Valley.

May--image from Mo's Digital Pencil.

June--image from Make It Crafty.

September--image from A Day For Daisies.

October--image from A Day For Daisies.

November--image from A Day For Daisies.

December--image from Make It Crafty.

     Thanks for dropping by.  Have a wonderful and blessed new year!  Looking forward to rubbing elbows with you in bloggie card land in 2012!
     Hugs!

We're following the leader...

     This card was made using another image from the December Kit Club release from A Day For Daisies.  I just love Tammy's vintage images.  Can't you just hear this little line of misses singing a fun little nursery rhyme.

     I used papers from Basic Grey's Picadilly collection and colored the image with Copics.

     There won't be a new regular release this week since Tammy's giving us a little holiday break, but I'll be back next Friday with something new.

     I can't believe 2012 is already here!

     If you love Tammy's images as much as I do and would like to either add more to your collection or try them out for the first time, don't forget to enter the drawing for my blog candy.  It ends on New Year's Eve and there are TWO gift certificates from A Day For Daisies up for grabs as well as some awesome kraft products from Kraft Outlet.

May I offer you some tea?

     I was telling my friend Samara that I think I have done myself in with all the holiday yummies.  I think the up and down sugar buzzes have zapped my crafting energy.  Good thing I made this ahead of time.  LOL

     Our challenge this week at Papercraft Star is "Tea or Coffee".  I won some digis a while back from Cardmadfairy and I picked out this beautiful geisha.  She's colored with Copics.  I printed her fan out on vellum and colored it with Copics also.  She has a piece of torn mulberry paper under her.  The cool oriental writing is one of three images I used from the Oriental Backgrounds (112) digital sheet from our sponsor, The House Across the Bay.  I didn't have anything to hang the tag from in my light box so I hung it on my Christmas tree so you could see the tassle I added at the bottom.  You have to look closely cause it didn't photograph well with the lighting.

     The back of the tag has a large mat of more of the oriental writing from the digital sheet.  I added two pockets for tea bags and printed the third image to decorate the top pocket.

     Here's a close up shot of the little geisha so you can see her fan better.  Hope you can play along this week. :-)

Try something new

     Our challenge at The Kraft Journal, this day after Christmas, is to try something new for the new year. Although I've made tags before, it's been a while since I've made one and I decided to throw everything but the kitchen sink onto it.

     The tag base is Buff Ivory cardstock. The next layer is Light Kraft cardstock. I glued some pieces of Vintage Dictionary page on it. Then I stamped it with a musical score which I embossed with Vintage Distress embossing powder. next I added some Distress ink.

     The next layer is a piece of Kraft Glassine from Tim Holtz. Babette was carrying the large pockets at Kraft Outlet at one time. I cut the pocket apart, dry embossed it and added some white ink over the raised parts. I also went around the edges of it with a white Paint Dabber.

     My image is a rubberstamp from the Gorjuss Girls line that I colored with Copics. I stamped the little bear twice and raised him up on pop dots. Here's a closer view.

     For embellishments I added a flower made with pieces of the kraft glassine cut from Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die.  The edges have some white Puffy paint on them.  I had wrote a sentiment on a White Metal Edge Grunge Tag and inked it with Vintage Photo Distress ink.  There's a band of 7 Gypsies Gypsy Market seam binding in red wrapped around the upper part of the tag and a Jenni Bowlin Chipboard Flag piece covered in Buff Ivory cardstock and inked at the bottom.  I added some fun eyelash fiber through an eyelet at the top of the tag and everything but the image was sprayed with Irridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.
     The Kraft Glassine is a new product for me and I look forward to using it again.  It was fun to try some of the ideas Tim Holtz gave for it's use on his blog.
     We'd love to see you try something new in honor of New Year's and share it with us.  The link is open until 6:00 p.m. EST on Sunday so come play along.

Merry Christmas!

May your Christmas Day be filled with blessings!

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.   Luke 2:7-14

Merry Christmas!

Sewing seeds of kindness

     Hope you've all been able to slow down long enough to enjoy the holiday a little.  LOL  The little sweetie on this card took some time to do a little sewing.  The image is called "Sewing a Stitch" and is from the new release this week from A Day For Daisies and you can find it along with lots of others in the ADFD store. 

     I decided to try my hand at a little paper piecing.  I don't do much of this, but I always like it when I see others do it.  Lots of stitching and a quilted look to the background.  My daughter made the beautiful crocheted flower for me.

     I have to admit I was a bit burnt out on Christmas projects so I really enjoyed making this card.  Now I'm ready to enjoy the holiday weekend with my family.  Hope you are too.  :-)

Ho Ho Moolah!

     Ho! Ho! Ho!  Only a few more days until we officially celebrate Christmas.  As the birthday of Christ, we can happily celebrate Christmas EVERY day of the year.  :-)  He was the greatest gift of all after all. 

     With the thought of gift giving in mind, our challenge this week at Papercraft Star is to create a tag or gift holder.  I used a wonderful tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers to create this fun and festive gift card holder.

     The Santa image is from the Christmas Squares (055) digital image sheet from The House Across the Bay.  I printed the image out, cut it out with a circle punch and covered it with a thick coat of Glossy Acents.  While that was still wet I sprinkled a small amount of glitter on the image.  Once the GA was dry, I added a second coat.  The photo paper wanted to curl up and when I bent it the Glossy Accents cracked.  It added a great little extra to the vintage feel of the card.  I added some netting circles folded into quarters on the back of the image piece.  The card stays closed with an old fashion envelope closure on the back.

     Here's what the inside looks like. 

     I didn't have the little envelope that comes with the gift card like they used in the tutorial so I just made my own.  Super simple card and a fun way to give some Christmas moolah.  :-)

     We'd love to have you join the challenge this week so pop over to the Papercraft Star blog, check out all the designer inspiration, and get your own tag or gift holder project linked up.

     Happy Wednesday!

New Year's Fun

One of the challenge blogs I have played the most this year is Sentimental Sundays.  Their challenges are fun and the DT has been very good about visiting and leaving encouraging comments (always a plus for me when playing a challenge :-)  ).  It's nice to know they've actually come and visited.
     Well on January 1, they like everyone else will be starting a brand new year of challenges.  They're kicking it off with a blog hop full of prizes.  To get the news out, they've asked that friends spread the word about the party.  Even that might net you a prize!  Just click on the picture above to get all the details about how you can be in the running for a $20.00 gift certificate to your favorite online store.
     Have a wonderful week!

My favorite 2011 Kraft Journal project

     This week the The Kraft Journal DT is showcasing their favorite KJ projects from the past year.  One of the projects I enjoyed making the most this year was my Valentine Book of Love.  You can find the original post for it right here, but here are a couple of pics from it.

     The book was actually the finished product of a tutorial that I did for The Kraft Journal showing how it was made.  You can find that tutorial here with step by step pics.
     So for the challenge this week, we'd like to see YOUR favorite kraft or Kraft Outlet product project of the past year.  The challenge is open until 6:00 p.m. EST Sunday.
     Happy Monday!

Frosty Builders

     I have another A Day For Daisies digital stamp to share with you today.  This one, called Frosty, is from the December Club Kit.  You can find all the details about the kit club here and I have ADFD gift certificates in my blog candy giveaway.  :-)

     For my card I used some leftover Graphic 45 Christmas papers and did some machine stitching.  The image was colored with Distress inks.  The ribbon slider was cut with my brand new Memory Box die.  It was one of my purchases from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design with the gift voucher I won last month at The Outlawz.  Susana gave me some awesome service with a quick delivery, even during the holidays!  Anyway, the die is gorgeous and delicate and makes the ribbon poof up in the middle for a fun look.  I see future Memory Box die purchase in the cards for me.  :-)

     Here's another artsy view.  :-)  You can see the poof and the glitter.

     I have a couple of other things to share with you.  A few months back I created a little mini abum to showcase some of my favorite glass collectibles.  One of the things I make sure to do when we visit Gatlinburg is hit some of the shops there that specialize in glass.  I also found one at Dollywood.  Here are my new lovelies.

     Is that cow hilarious or what!  As you can see I love miniature tea sets too.  :-)

     Last, but not least, I wanted to show you the absolutely gorgeous tag that my wonderful friend Ira sent me from the Netherlands.  So pretty!  Thanks again Ira!

Just a Swingin'

     Say hello to Finn.   Finn's just swingin' around on a sparkly Christmas ornament waiting for Santa to come.  This week at Papercraft Star we want to see a project that includes a bell or ornament.

     Finn is a digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.  He's colored with Copics.  I stamped him twice and popped the second image up on foam dots for some depth.  I wanted him to look like he was sitting on top of the ornament.  I also added some DMC gold fiber thread for the ornament hanger and stitched it through the paper and between his hands.  I used some ruched crepe paper that was cut with pinking shears to frame the image and a strip of corrugated cardboard that I distressed with some crackle paint.

     The red and gold mat image is a digital download from our sponsor, The House Across the Bay, called Scrollwork Squares.  Nice and Christmasy!

     If you still have a few Christmas cards left to make and have a bell or ornament stamp, digi, die cut, whatever!--join in our challenge this week.

     P.S.  Don't forget I have blog candy up for grabs.  The link is on my sidebar for all the details.

You can't catch me......

     Another Christmas card for the stack.  :-)  This one was made using this cute gingerbread man from Make It Crafty who thinks he's Fred Astaire.  (What do you think Ira?  LOL)  He's got some dimensional paint icing on to snaz him up a bit.  :-)

     He's colored with Copics and I used some papers from a K & Company paper pad I picked up at Michael's last week when it was marked down to 60% off.  I had a tough time with Christmas papers this year.  There just wasn't a whole lot out there that really caught my eye.  I don't like to buy too many 12 x 12 pads anymore because I like the smaller scaled down print of the 6 x 6's, but there was some really great smaller designs paper in this pad and I couldn't beat the price.

     I tried and tried to find a way to photograph my card so that the deep green ribbon behind the image looked green, but it absolutely refused to look like anything but black.  All my dark colored ribbons always look black in my pics.  sigh....

     I found some chipboard photo corners in my stash,covered them with some of the Light Kraft I used for the card base and inked the edges.

Hope you like my stylin' ginger dude.  I'd like to enter him into the following challenges:

Ornament in pastel

     My head cold has made me totally goofy.  I was going to play along with the new Copic challenge at The Outlawz.  Their theme is a non traditional colors Christmas card.  So I get my card all done and ready to photograph and DING! the little light bulb goes off that I colored the image with distress inks.  LOL  Oh well, I needed the card anyway and it will fit with the Twisted Thursday Challenge at TO which is to either include an ornament on your card or make one.
     I embossed the edges of the blue mat with some Stardust embossing powder.  It's transparent with sparklie in it.  Then I went around the edges again with a Brilliance Platinum Planet dew drop.  That ink dries really slowly so I hit it with my heat gun.  The thicker parts bubbled up and added some cool dimension.
     I embossed the purple panel with the same embossing powder.  The edged the image with more of the Platinum ink.  Besides the distress ink, I used some dimensional paint on the ornament and the berries.
The flowers are from TH Tattered Florals die.  I added Glossy Accents to some silver brads and covered them with silver microbeads for the flower centers.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
