Be-loved Birthday

Hello everyone, thank you for visiting. Well it almost time for Valentines Day and everyone is already creating beautiful cards. I love the combinations of the pinks, reds and browns. It's more interesting when there's other colors thrown in there to make them pop.

For instance take this latest creation. I fell in love with this paper collection from My minds eye called Be-loved. It has a different colors that I relate to from Stampin' Up. Sage Shadows, Groovy guava (discountinued), Real reds. My co-worker asked that I make her daughter a birthday card. And seeing how its in February, I thought I but in a Valentines design it in. Isn't this paper beautiful?! Well I hope you like, and I hope come back again. Tooddles!

Color throwdown #74

Hi there, thanks for visiting. So today I wanted to share with you another challenge I ran across a couple of weeks ago. It's called Color Throwdown, and they suggest colors for the weeks challenge.

It's a terrific blog to go to when you've got creator's block. So I gave it a go and the following is my take on the challenge.

I started with the SU! Sweet Always dsp, regal rose, pumpkin pie, chocolate chip, and dusty durango cardstock. I used the "Trees for all season" (discontinued) and "Trendy trees" SU! sets.  And for the center piece I used the ticket corner punch. I hope you like it. Tooddles.

The Pink Elephant challenge #48 and O.C.C SASSC47

Hello everyone, thanks for dropping by. I found this really cute blog called The Pink Elephant challenge. I really liked their ideas and I thought I'd give it a try.

The challenged called for 2 designer paper, 3 buttons and some snowflakes. I did all the requires but one. I didn't think the button would pull it off. But I did make up for it with the 3 scalloped edged cicles and the 3 different snowflakes from SU! snow flurries set. The designer paper came from Cloud 9 called Cocoa Mint from the local craft store. The basic color cardstock is SU!'s chocolate chip and Baja breeze. I hope you like it. please come again.. Tooddles.

And I'm back in the game....

Hey folks, I'm back! It's a new year and I have new creations to share with you. So I'd like to share my creation for the new Mojo challenge #120.

I had so much fun playing with this sketch with my new toy, the Spellbinder. Aside from the small templates it came with I purchased the Classic scalloped large circles, that was perfect for this.

I started with a basic white cardstock for my card, then used Stampin' Up Candy Lane dsp for the background and the two other large pieces. I also used Chocolate chip cardstock for the scallop edge and the whats underneath the pattern paper. For the sentiment part, I used Spellbinders shapeabilities ribbon tag trio. For the greeting I used the SU! A happy heart set. The ribbon is SU! Pretty in pink 1/4" ribbon and pinned it down with a red brad. For my main image I used Dressy Ebony from the Greeting farm digital stamps. And for the circle scalloped edge I used SU! Ridding hood red and Pretty in pink. I hope you like it, and thanks for visiting. Tooddles!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone, thank you again for visiting. Wow, 2010... I have faith that this year will be better than ever. I hope you all a great Christmas and a fabulous New Years Day. My new toy is due to come in tomorrow and I can't wait to start posting new creations. Please keep in touch and I'll be back real soon. Tooddles.

If the mountain wont come to Mohammad...

Well folks I didn't get everything I wanted for Christmas, so I got it my damn self..lol. I was really wishing and hoping I'd get my Spellbinder and some shapeabilities or borderabilities.. something named funny like that... but no such luck. So I decided to use my "rainy day" money and invested. It sounds better if I say "invested" rather than say "spend". Unfortunately because of Christmas and New Years being so close together, it'll take longer than usual to be delivered... but no worries, it'll be hear before I'd remember I'd ordered it. Anyhoo, I thought I'd fill you guys in on my creative dry spell for now and I'll keep you posted. Tooddles!

Sorry about that.

Hi Folks! So sorry I've been busy these days... 'tis the season... lol  Also I've been holding out on doing any more creations, beacuse I'm really hoping for a special christmas present ... a "Spellbinder wizard" ..(hint, hint) ;)

In the meantime, I'm in the middle of organizating a big New Years party, and of course the invites are handmade. So I might as well display them and maybe by January I'll be posting new creations like a mad woman!

My sis and I can up with these colors to set a theme for the gala night. You can't go wrong with these and it definately makes it more regal. I started with SU! A brand new year, on whisper white card stock, layered with basic black, and made the whole card with basic gray. Then I used a trifold to add more anticipation for the individual who opens the invite. I found this awesome printed paper at the local craft store that was just right for the colors we were going for. I also found this very inexpensive clear stamp set that had the "time, place, etc" them and I added the filagree design from the SU! Baroque set with silver ink for more elegant look. And finally I used an organza ribbon to top is off. I think it turn out just right for a the budget we're working with. Thank you for stopping by, and if I don't post anything any time soon, .... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Tooddles.
