2 Cute 2 Spook

Isn't she just adorable? To me, she really is 2 cute 2 spook! I forgot I had her and when I ran across her in my digi files last night I was so excited that I printed her right away and started coloring! This little cutie is an image from CC Designs from the Swiss Pixie's Line and I have adored her forever and forgot I had her - she's never been used before, shame on me!!!

So this card is for the following challenges:

Stamp Something - Digi Day
Digital Tuesday - Purple, Yellow & Black
Mojo Monday - Sketch (I moved the ribbon placement)
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Boo!
Creative Inspirations - Spooky (I won here last week....woohoo, so excited!!!)
Crazy 4 Challenges - Halloween Creations
Ellephantastic Challenges - Halloween

So, what do you think? Is she really 2 cute 2 spook? Thanks for stoppin by and happy scrappin' - hoping to have a lot more to show you this weekend, we'll see how long my mojo lasts!!!

Slacking Again Lately

Well, I have been slacking this past week. I have managed to finish a whopping one card and that was tonite! I've been working on it for several days putting it aside because it wasn't working for me to pick it back up and try again. Finally, this evening, I think I may like it! Either way, it is done and time to move on to the next project and not dwell on whether I like it or not! LOL

I made this card for the following challenges:

Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenges - Sketch by Donna
Meljens Designs - Anything Goes
Stamping Vacation - Start Here Challenge
Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog - Ribbon
Lily of the Valley - Winter Fun







That's it for tonite, thanks for stoppin' by and happy scrappin'!!!

Preparing for Christmas and Prezzies for Me!!!

It's hard to believe that Christmas really is just around the corner. I have a ton of cards to get made and with me working full time again wow, where is the time to get them all done? So, I have started now!!! I know it isn't real early but honestly, I usually make them all the weekend after Thanksgiving to be mailed out by the 5th of December - yeah I usually wait til the last minute for everything!!! But, the new Kenny K Christmas images have gotten my creativity jumpstarted!!!!

I've used this card for the following challenges:

Stamping Vacation - NO NO NO, using an image that begins with an S is a NO NO NO!!
Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenges - Make it Christmas
Creative Inspirations - Sketch Challenge
Craftalicious Challenges - Anything Goes

Meet Christmas Diva Nikki:



Here's a couple pics from Tuesday night, Dylan's 18th bday. We didn't do anything big for him that night because we are having him a big party on Saturday.





OK, that's it for tonite, off to get some sleep and work tomorrow. Thanks for stoppin' by and happy scrappin'!

I can't believe.................

..............that as of tomorrow I will be the Mom of 2, yes TWO, 18 year olds!!! Dylan turns 18 tomorrow so I thought I'd use this awesome Kenny K Digi Image - Rock Dude to whip a card. Masculine cards are the hardest for me to make but this image sure made it a lot easier for me!!

I used this card for the following challenges:

Charisma Cardz - Autumn Colors
Card Patterns - Sketch
The Crafty Calendar Challenge - Birthday
Creative Inspirations - Birthday
Party Time Tuesdays - Birthday
Crazy 4 Challenges - Birthday

My card:



I have really become hooked on digi images, especially the Kenny K ones and am thrilled with their new Christmas release!!! You really need to check them out, I bought them last night about midnight and just finished printing them out to play with tonite!!! I did find a few other sites with some cute digis so if you know any others leave me a comment letting me know, I am always on the lookout for cute images and I love digi because they are extremely easy to work with and so versatile being able to resize and flip them!!

I am so thankful today was a holiday (for us government workers LOL) because I definitely needed the time off after working all weekend at Balloon Fiesta!! I had a great time and def enjoyed working it but it is tiring even though it isn't hard the hours are long!!! We started about 4 in the morn (well that's when we got out of bed) and typically didn't get back into bed until well after 11 at night!!! Here's a few pics for you to enjoy, I have tons more so if you wanna see them click on the right side of my page and go to my FaceBook page as I have more posted there!!!

Thanks for stoppin' by and happy scrappin'!!


2010 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta:

2 X 2, a little Colour & a Sketch

Threw a card together tonite in some much needed paper therapy. I am not really thrilled with it but I decided to stop dwelling on it and move forward so since it was for 2 challenges I'm gonna post it but again, totally not thrilled with the outcome but hey, it is what it is.

So my challenges were from Just Magnolia, Colour Create and Mojo Monday.

Just Magnolia challenged us to 2 x 2 this week, basically 2 of stuff so here are my following 2 x 2 qualifiers: 2 of my fav paper mfg's being K&Co. (PP) and Bazzill (CS), 2 stamped images (Tilda & Happy Holidays), 2 of my fav products to add a little shiny being Stickles and Copic AtYou Spica pens, 2 border punches (snowflake and bracket both on red PP), 2 punched items (scallop circles and spellbinders cut shapes that Tilda is sitting on), 2 pieces of ribbon (same ribbon one is looped the other piece is tied in a bow and glued on), and finally 2 of my fav colors :) pink and green!!!! So I think I covered the 2 x 2 challenge huh??

Mojo Monday gave us a fab sketch to work with. I had so many ideas but for some reason my card just didn't come out as pictured in my head (more ways than one but I digress). Check out that fab sketch this week, I know the week is almost over but I plan on using this sketch in the near future for a couple things I have going in my little pea brain!!!

Here's my card:



I know it isn't the most horrible card ever but I really have struggled this week with my creativity. I don't know if it is because I'm tired or still worrying about my Momma (she's better and may get to go home tomorrow if all works out well) or just stressed about stupid stuff that I can't seem to let go of.

I'll have some balloon fiesta pics to share later this weekend. Thanks for stoppin' by and happy scrappin'!
