Jan challenge- Something New



 Good Morning !
Glad to see you popped back into today.This is our first challenge with Whimsy for the new year. 
Can you guess what the challenge is seeing how we have just started 2014, you guess it, the challenge is "Something New".
This leave so much to your imagination, something new could be interpreted so many ways.... New paper, stamp, using new tools to make your card. I decided to use a couple things that are new to me to make this card... A new stamp released from Whimsy Stamps from designer Lia Stampz. This stamp is called birthday Princess and it's an adorable stamp to work with, I added a lot of stickles to give it that princess sparkle.
I also used a new edge punch that I have never used  before this card and I tried making a bow using a new technique. 
I would love for you to try to make a card using a new technique or new product and put it on the Whimsy challenge blog ( click here) for a chance to win some great digital images.
I can't wait to see what you make.
Here's my creation:


I tried taking a closer picture so I didn't get a glare from the stickles, it worked but the angles a little different.
Thank you for stopping by:
Have a fabulous day.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes
Love to Scrap: Anything Goes
One Crazy Stamper: Anything Goes

Happy New Year 2014

Happy New Year!

Well I can hardly believe that it`s already 2014, how times flies.
I guess it`s a time to reflect upon all thing that happened in 2013, good and bad. It is also a time to reflect upon the new year|- a fresh start to how you want things in your life to be and put your best foot forward to embrace the great things in your life. To start this year focused on the things and people that bring you joy that put a smile on your face and that make you laugh. It should be a time to slow things down and to live life not to let life live you. For all of you that have stopped by I want to wish each and everyone of you all the peace, joy and comfort that you deserve. Have a great new year filled with love and nothing but wonderful things.

All the very best in 2014.

To start off this year, I have started it by making this cute card with a super cute image from Whimsy Stamps called Yarn Guard from designer Miss Rach. I wanted this card to be bright and cheerful so I decided pink would be fitting. I colored it with copic markers and kept the color scheme pink and browns.
 A bit of close picture of the image.
 I didn`t have a sentiment that said this so I made it easy and typed it up on my computer

December 18 Christmas inspiration



Well Good morning!
Christmas is only a week away, sure crept up fast. Today is the 18 of December already.  We have had so much snow here it's crazy. You can hardly see the Christmas decorations that I put on my lawn, they are a little buried. We have dug them out a couple times but you still can't see them very well. I think I'll be digging Christmas decorations  out in the spring cause you won't be able to find them pretty soon if we get any more snow. LOL. It's been great here weather wise the last couple days, warm enough to actually take my dogs for a walk. They have been staring at me a lot, to the point where they make you feel guilty for not taking them. So they have been my motivation to go or maybe my conscience has been. Either way they were happy they got some walks in while the weather has been nice.

This card is made using a digital image from Whimsy stamps by designer Miss Rach called Winter Reindeer. A super cute reindeer that is great to color and will be great to throw in the mail to someone for Christmas.


The sentiment

Good Morning!
Great to see you again, it's a clear, fairly warm morning here. Sure can't complain, not to cool and no snow. Hopefully today my daughter and I can get outside and decorate our front lawn with a few Christmas things. She convinced me yesterday to buy a few artificial trees from a local store that is trying to get rid of some old stock. They were pretty cheap but pretty neat looking, the one has fake snow all over it. So we thought we would add some lights and a sleigh  and reindeer that lights up.  You have to do decorating while it's not o cool so today should be perfect. Anyways enough about me lets get on to the card that I'm showing you today.

This is a Whimsy challenge card for the theme Party Time. Easy enough challenge to do, especially with the holidays right around the corner. You can make a birthday card or a festive holiday card, anything to do with party's.
This is my card using a wonderful image called "Christmas Shopping" from the Whimsy Store by designer Lia Stampz.
I added some great spellbinder poinsettias and a sentiment. My card is pretty simple but i wanted the image to really be the focal point of my card. I hope you make a wonderful party themed card and play along. I'll be checking to see some of the great creations that have been created for this theme on the Whimsy Challenge blog. 
Happy Crafting !

 A bit closer.

Have a super wonderful day!

Penguins are present card




Hello on this cool winter day.
We are suppose to get a lot of snow in the next 24 hours, yuck! That means shoveling, well at least it's not cold outside. I don't mind the snow but I sure dislike when it's cold and blowing. You know that wind that chills you to the bone. I think the temperature is suppose to be seasonal. Which is okay.

A good day to craft and stay indoors. 
This is a card I made using a super cute image from Whimsy Stamps called Penguins are present from designer Crissy Armstrong. This was a great image to work with, a wonderful Christmas card for someone special. Christmas is just around the corner again. wow how time flies hey.
I hope you get some cards done and that this little cutie will inspire you to do so.


A closer look at the colored image, also in the corners of the photo you can see another great Whimsy product, one is the mini Postage stamp and it was cut out with the matching die. On the top left corner you can see the seasonal ornament stamp set and that was cut out with the matching die.
Thank you tons for stopping by again.
Great to see you.
Stay warm and have a crafty day!
