 I would like to Thank all of my customers who are great friends. Who stand beside me and have helped me get through this emotionally crazy and busy year. I hope to have more "me time" as I know 2012 has left me mentally creatively exhausted and it is my work enviroment that is causing it. I still love creating every card and paper craft I make, I hope 2013 will be an amazing year with new opportunities and will bring happiness into everyone's life.

Peace, Love & Blessings,

Elf on the Shelf Card

An old favorite revived, "Elf on the Shelf!"

I did not grow up with this Christmas folk tale but some of my friends did. Personally I think the little doll itself is creepy but hey it works for the kids and that's what matters at this time of year. This image is from the new kit released from SVGCuts, Santa's Helpful Elves.

I sponged the edges of the card to give it dimension and I embossed his hat brim with snowflakes and his hair with swiss dots. Pop dotted his nose and hat turnover for a 2-D raised effect. I coming near to the end of my stash of SU Blush Blossom where to this day I still have not found a CS in flesh tone as well as this one was, I wish Stampin! Up would un-retire it.

It's been a long time since I last posted, so I hope you enjoy viewing this card and happy crafting!
Cheers,

Roughrider Birthday

I made this card back in March of 2011 you can view the original post here. But I new I wanted to make another for my Papa Robert who's big 6-0 is coming up here in August. Now this isn't my real Papa (I've been one of those adopted into the family kind of kids) but he does a lot for me and if I ever needed anything Papa would surely help me with it.

I cut the card base out of SU! Chocolate Chip, then put the layered images of the football through the Cuttlebug machine with the tiny bubbles embossing folder to give it the texture of a football. I then colored my little football player and layered him with dimensionals. I then placed the sentiment on like a waving flag.

In the province that I live in Saskatchewan, CFL football is our big sport. So I made this little boy a "RoughRider" and added some of the team logo to the front of his jersey. Don't you agree the referee pooch displaying 'touchdown' is so appropriated!

Thanks for stopping by :)
