Fare-Whale old Pal

After working for 6 days straight I couldn't wait for today's day off.    I planned today to sit down and play with some of my new Stampin! Up Spring 2013 stamps. I'm really loving the cuteness of the Oh Whale! set and coordinating Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer Paper.  A simple 2D card with a bit of 2nd generation stamping, I think it turned out great!

This card was made in mind of a dear friend of mine Jalyn whom is leaving for art school in Vancouver at the end of this week. I hope she loves it there, and misses me terribly as I know I'll miss her and her crazy zombie references.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hogs and Kisses

Wow how time flies, and once again another month has gone by. Well I just got home from my annual winter holiday, it was good! I had a great time with the 'regulars' and also made a bunch of new friends.

Now onto Valentine's Day, this is my favorite non-holiday. I'm not really sure as to why but it always is, I guess I just like the idea of Love. Tonight I had a few people in mind to receive these as I made them, #1 my Mom cause she loves pigs, #2 my neighbor, #3 my bff. Though I thought they were  stinking cute - I had to make them. Each treat box is a different shade of pink, and knowing my collection of card stock I had lots of shades to choose from.
 
I filled them up with yummy chocolates, Ferrero Rocher, Kit Kat bars, fudge and hot chocolate sticks. This kit is from Lettering Delights, Hogs for Kisses.

Keep checking back as I will be in a Spring Craft Sale on March 23rd, 2013. I hope to give you some sneak peaks at what I'll have at my table.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!
Cheers,

 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,
