Hi Friends~  I hope you are all doing great and for my U.S. friends you are gearing up for the extra long holiday weekend I hope yours is great!  Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  I am so thankful for my family and friends and for our new bundle of joy on the way.

On the home front - hopefully we will have the final inspection of our house this next week so we can start moving in!  I am so looking forward to getting settled into our home and then getting the nursery set up for Baby G!

I've made a card without using Copics...can you believe it?!  I got this fabulous Memory Box Ornament Die (that I got from SCACD, Susana carries a lot of the Memory Box Dies) that I just had to use for the focal point of a card and I love how it turned out!  Papers are from Bo Bunny Midnight Frost Collection.

Ornament was blinged up using Blue and Silver Self Adhesive Rhinestones from WOC.  The snowflake charm is also a WOC product.  I used my Bow Easy to make the bow on top of my ornament.

WOC flower arrangement #1 consists of: 30mm Wild Rose, Small Poinsettia Blooms with Medium Moonstone Brads, 8mm Semi-opened Roses, Lilly, Small Silver Snowflake, Large Hologram Snowflake, and the little Silver Twist accents were made using German Glass Glitter.  You have probably seen these on Bev's creations - thanks hun for sharing your secret of using the German Glass Glitter to make our very own sparkly twists!

Flower arrangement #2 consists of: 30mm Wild Rose, Small Poinsettia Blooms with Medium Moonstone Brads, 8mm Semi-opened Roses, Lilly, 4mm Rosebuds, and some more of the little Silver Twist accents were made using German Glass Glitter.  The arrangement was finished off with a  Sparkling Rhinestone.

And one more view!  I hope you have enjoyed my Holiday Creation.

For those of you going Black Friday shopping I hope you get all of the good deals you are looking for! Hubby and I will be venturing out for a little shopping too....but not until the afternoon.....this pregnant mommy doesn't need to fight people at the stores!  lol!

WOC Christmas in July - Day 6

Good Morning Friends!  I hope you are enjoying the wonderful Wild Orchid Crafts Christmas in July!  Today Dena and I are wrapping up all of the fun! I am so excited to have the pleasure of showcasing the fabulous Lots of Letters Lili of the Valley stamp.

Isn't this the most adorable and fun christmas image?!  I love it!  Papers are from Making Memories and have been accented with silver stickles.  Decorative Metal Corner is one of the many that Wild Orchid Crafts carries.....there is a fantastic selection so make sure you head over to WOC to take a peek at all of them!

Image has been colored with Copics and then I used my pastel pencil to shade....although I am not liking the "dirty" look I got on the pink and blue coats :(  Oh well we learn by trial and error, right?!  The snow got a coat of Star Dust Stickles and the fur on the little girl's hats got some Illuminate Smooch for even more sparkles!

Then there is the fabulous Wild Orchid flower arrangment!  I absolutely LOVE the Christmas Pointsettias, I used my Incredibly Tacky Glue and some of the NEW Kelly Green German Glass Glitter to accent this gorgeous flower.  You really NEED some of this glitter if you don't have any yet...it's so gorgeous in real life!!!  The rest of the arrangement consists of Poppies, Gypsophilas, 15mm Roses, 8mm semi-opened roses, and pearl stamens.

Now it wouldn't be Christmas without presents, so 

Make sure that you leave a comment on this post by July 24th for your change to win this lovely prize sponsored by Wild Orchid Crafts!

Now make sure you head over the Wild Orchids Crafts blog to check out the AMAZING creation by Dena and if you haven't seen the rest of the amazing DT's creations this week! :)

♥ Thanks for stopping by! ♥

Wishing you all....

From my family to yours, I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonderful, happy, healthy, and successful 2011!

This is the photo card that hubby and I mailed out this year, and I want to send it to all of my friends in blogland too!  Thank you to you all for making 2010 a blessed year for me.  I am so thankful for all of the friends that I have made through the couple years I have been blogging....you all are so special to me, thank you so much for following me and all of the lovely comments that you leave when you visit!

Merry Christmas Eve

Hi Friends~
Sorry I've been non-existent this week...I was hoping to get a lot of craft time in....but things were super crazy!  It's so hard to get all of your Christmas preparations done in one week! LOL!  My hubby gave me my Christmas present a week early....he got me a Wii with the Wii Fit board.  I am enjoying every minute playing with that thing...hubby and I are spending lots of quality time together now bowling, playing tennis, and baseball....it's so much fun!  Hubby gave it to me early because he wanted me to get time to  play with it...seeing how Monday I start my internship and will be working full-time until classes begin the end of January.  What a great hubby I have!  I also spent one day this week Christmas shopping with my Dad...it was such a wonderful day to bond...we had soooo much fun!!! :)  Then I went to a Christmas play one night with my Mom and Sister...that was so much fun too...it was a Christmas Musical about the birth of Jesus....absolutely amazing! One of our friend's, who actually sang at our wedding was Joseph so that was neat!

Tonight we are going to my Grandpa and Grandma's (my Dad's parents) and tomorrow we go to my in-laws for lunch, and then we go to my other Grandpa and Grandma's (my mom's parents....my crafty Gram's house)!  My brother is gone for Christmas this year...he's an over the road truck driver so we will be celebrating my immediate family's Christmas next week when he gets back home!  I hope you all get time to spend with your family and friends during this blessed holiday season!

This is the card that I made for my Gram and Gramps that we are going to see tonight!  My Gram LOVES birds....and my crafty Gram (my mom's mom) had this beautiful cardinal that she told me to take home and make a card with for my Gram! Papers are from Kaisercraft Tis the Season collection...I love the vintage feel to these papers!

Image has been colored with Copics and then embossed with the SU embossing folder.  My Gram showed me how to do this...now I soooo NEED to get me this folder!  I love the faux cross stitch look that it gives!  Thanks so much Gram for the idea!!!  Then I took my TH Tea Dye ink pad and distressed the edges to make the image more vintage feeling.  Mr. Cardinal was then placed onto my Nellie Snellen die and spritzed with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.

 Flowers are from the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts!  The first arrangement was made using 25mm roses, and 15mm rose leaves.  All flowers are glitzed up with Gold Stickles.

Flower arrangement two consists of a curly wild rose, 15mm roses, 10mm roses, 25mm rose leaf, and burgundy crystal stems.  

Hubby also got us snowshoes....so we've been out snow shoeing this week as well...we've gone a total of 3 times now....holy moly do you get a work out with those babies!!!  I am not outdoorsy at all....so this definitely is a new venture for me...I normally don't like the cold (with these though I am usually quit warm from all the work..lol)....having these makes winter and snow a little more enjoyable in Wisconsin...and I'm getting a good workout too!

Here's me bundled up in my snow shoe gear....probably should have smiled for the picture! LOL!

**Reminder** The SCACD store carts are closed through January 1st so that Susana may spend time with her family for the holidays!  Feel free to window shop while the carts are closed and come back on January 2nd for NEW goodies and to order what you have found while window shopping!!!!

Happy Holidays!

WOJ #94 - My Sketch

Happy Wednesday Friends....as you are reading this I will be getting geared up for my advertising presentation that is today!  Oh how I dislike presentations!!  But after it's done that means only 2 more finals exams to go!  YIPPY!!!  I hear Friday...it must be almost here!  LOL!

It's another Whiff of Joy Challenge day today!  Yay!  Our challenge this week is to use my sketch!  I had so much fun designing this sketch and hope you all enjoy it!  However, I also have some sad news to share.  This is going to be my last challenge with the WOJ Challenge DT.  I have decided to step down from the DT as I will be starting a new chapter in my life with my internship.  I definitely have enjoyed my time being on this DT with such fabulous and talented ladies....you all are amazing!  I hope to still have time to be able to play along with the challenges now and again!  :)

Now onto my card:

I have used the Winter Love Birds stamp for my card today!  It's hard to believe this is the first time that I inked this poor stamp up!  These two are so adorable!!!  Papers are from the Bo Bunny Midnight Frost collection...oh my goodness is this pad absolutely stunning..it was hard for me to layer the papers because I didn't want to cover up any of the beauty on any of the pages! lol!  I've used some felt snowflake ribbon for my accent and then punched a blue snowflake strip with my MS punch that I got from my fabulous friend :0)

 And here is my sketch!  I hope you all like it and play along with us for this challenge! :)

These cute birdies were colored with Copics and then I airbrushed the sky around them.  The branch was decked out with liquid applique that I sprinkled with glamour dust before I heat set it....it gave my snow such a beautiful sparkle.  Then I applied little dots of glue around my image and used my Polar White Flower Soft (which is currently 15% off over at SCACD!) to make it look like the birdies are snuggling together in the snow!  Image has been cut out with my SB Oval Nesties and the blue layer was sparklized with Star Dust Stickles and then that layer was popped up onto my Marianne Die.

Flower are from the fabulous Wild Orchid Crafts and consist of a curly wild rose, 15mm roses that were layered on padded silver snowflakes and then white stamens were added for an accent.

From this view I am hoping to share all the lovely dimension of this card.  Thank you again to the WOJ DT for being such a wonderful group of ladies...I am going to miss you all!

WOC #12 - Color Challenge

Welcome to the craziest week of the year for me!  This week is my final exams....5 exams to take and one presentation to do!  I'm ready to pull out my hair...LOL!!!  But by Friday afternoon I will be MUCH better!  This weekend I got away from studying for a little bit to go run some errands with my hubby...we pretty much got most of our Christmas Shopping done...which is good because I don't have time this week to fit that in, ha ha!  Last night we also got hit with a MAJOR snowstorm....we got over 14 inches of snow!  YUCK!!!  I really am much more of a tropical girl, than a midwest girl....the snow and cold don't do anything for me...especially when I have to drive in the icky weather...the roads are plated in ice and snow right now....should make for an interesting drive to school!

BUT...on a much better note....today is Wild Orchid Challenge Day!  Woo-hoo!!! This week we are challenging you to ONLY use PINK, WHITE and SILVER on your creations!  I absolutely had a ball with this challenge...if you follow my blog you know that PINK is my ultimate favorite color....my hubby is teasing me and telling everyone that when we build our house it will most likely have pink siding! ROFL!!!  Well maybe not that...but I can guarantee my craft room will be PINK!!!

 

I've used one of the newest stamps over at SCACD for my card today....this is Look Out Below by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD! She comes in the Winter Sampler Collection...and I have to tell you I absolutely LOVE this set!  The pink paper is from the Bo Bunny Doodles collection, which was matted with white cs and silver metallic cs.  The panel that this cutie is popped up on has been embossed with my Cuttlebug snowflake folder and then the panel was spritzed with Maya Road Iridescent Pearl Mist!  OMG do I LOVE the pearl-essence effect that this mist gives...it's definitely a must have!!!  The embossed panel is accented with 5mm Self Adhesive Pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts....love the range of colors they have available!  The bow was made with my fantastic Bow Easy...this seriously is an amazing product to have...I haven't made a bow without it since I bought mine almost 2 years ago!

Of course this cutie pie was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  The pom pom on her hat, bow on her hair, snowflakes on her mittens, boots, and scarf have been accented with Illuminate Smooch!  The tassels on the end of her scarf were made with some embroidery floss. Then to make it appear as if she is sledding down a hill I added some Liquid Applique to the bottom of her sled.

Flowers are from the fabulous Wild Orchid and consist of: a pink Gardenia which has been placed on top of a punched silver snowflake and then layered on to a NEW flat bloom (which WOC has just gotten into the store...you get a HUGE assortment in each collection), the 15mm roses have been layered onto of padded silver snowflakes (I totally am in love with these!!!!), and the arrangement was finished with 10mm roses and 5mm closed rosebuds.  Flowers have been accented with 3mm self adhesive pearls in pink.

I hope you've enjoyed this cutie!  Make sure you check back in a little bit because I will have my Make A Mess Monday post up for you....and you are NOT going to want to miss this one....we are talking a girl's best friend here!!! :)

WOJ #92 - Tara's Sketch

Happy Wednesday....well we are half way through the week and that means the weekend is getting closer!  Woo-Hoo!  I am excited for this weekend....as my "adopted brother" (who is my brother's best freind) recently bought a house so we are going to celebrate at his housewarming party!  And then I am planning on crafting the rest of the weekend away getting ready for another craft show that I will have a booth in the Saturday after Thanksgiving!  Which reminds me I still have to share pictures of my booth with you all! :)

Today is another WOJ Challenge Wednesday!  Yay this week we have a WONDERFUL sketch by my amazing freind Tara for you to play along with!  Love the sketch T, it's so much fun to work with!!!  We do have some sad news to share with you from the WOJ Challenge DT....This week is my good buddy Tara's last challenge with us as she has decided to step down from DT.  I'm going to miss you SOOOO MUCH Tara...and wish you all the best hun!  With Tara's decision to step down from the DT we have decided to hold a DT Call this challenge.....Please check the WOJ Challenge page for all the details. 

For my card this week I've decided to use a cutie from last years Winter Stamp Set.  Isn't she a doll?!  I absolutely love her and her innocence!  Papers are from the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather collection, I love how this pad has bold colors as well as subtle soft colors too!  Lace is from Wild Orchid Crafts and is the Guipure Lace....absolutely LOVE this one, again it adds to the elegance of the card.  I've taken my narrow purple MS ribbon and wove it into the lace, and then used my Bow Easy to create the bow! :)  For the background edging I've used my new MS ATP holly punch!  Love this punch!

My image was colored with Copics and accented with a white gel pen.  I've used my SB Labels 14 to cut her out and then edged the label with Star Dust Stickles.

Flower arrangement consists mainly of WOC flowers.  Hydrangeas are Prima....BUT Wild Orchid Crafts is now carrying Hydrangea flowers in an assortment of colors...you can find there -->here<--!  YAY!!!  Finishing off the arrangement is 15mm roses, Padded Snowflakes, and 15mm Rose Leaves.

Miss. Snowball was Copics and accented with a white gel pen. She was cut out with a nestie and then the edge was blinged up using my Viva Decor Glitter Liner in Hologram!
