It's a jammie day

Afternoon all.  What a sweet sketch I found over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday today.  It has taken me all afternoon but I've done it, and very happy.  My Santa is another 3D image.

What a great day it's been.  After sending everyone out the door this morning, I sat down at my tablet and went through card blogs for inspiration, and challenge sites to see what's new.  All raring and ready to go I hit my craft area.  OK it took me a bit to get started because I had to get rid of the clutter so I had some room to work.  Then it was a leisurely day of watching NCIS reruns while working on my card.  Hoping to get a couple more cards completed tonight.

 I have a lot of work to do in the next two weeks.  A couple weeks ago I tried to sign up for the craft sale I do every November.  But I was too late all the tables were gone.  I was put on a waiting list.  Thinking that I wouldn't be going this year I haven't been working that hard.  Yesterday I got a phone call telling me they have added 13 more tables. When will I learn not to leave things till the last minute. 

   Here is the sketch.

Old Time Santa

Good evening everyone.  It was a chilly one here today. Down to -5 tonight. Spent some time outside today gathering up all the summer stuff from around the yard.  Packing it away in the sheds.  It was cool enough that you could see your breath. But soon I will be toasty warm, as we are heading out to the hot tub.  Some adult time, with our little tray of snacks and a bottle of wine.

My card tonight is a simple one.  Trying to ease back in gradually.  The image is a 3D image, I rather enjoy putting them together.  The three pearls on the right were colored with a gold Sharpie to match the gold trim around the image. I keep a stash of white pearls now, that way you can color them to match.

happy soaking

A Blast from the Past

Good morning ladies, happy Sunday.  It's been so nice to be home all weekend with the family.  I had Friday off to go over to Parry Sound for a concert.  My two aunts and I left early in the afternoon and met my cousin (who flew down from Thunder Bay) and her girlfriend, and went out for dinner, then the show. We went to see Deric Ruttan with Hey Romeo opening for him.  Deric is my cousin, it's amazing to see him up on stage.  And to have a band opening his show, it wasn't too many years ago that he was opening for bigger names.  It was a great show.
This card looks like it is a blast from the past.  Something from the 60's.  I cut the vase out of chipboard, stamped the flower stems and made the heart flowers from 3 heart shapes.  It is for Little Red Wagon-Challenge #14-Chipboard.

This little cutie is for Cupcake Craft Challenges-Challenge #76-Four legged & Furry.
The sketch is Card Patterns-Sketch #50.

Card Withdrawl

Ahhhh, I can't take it anymore.  Last night I just had to whip up a card.  I've been so good over Christmas being home with the whole family, not spending time at my craft table, other than a little bit of Christmas scrapbooking.  I whipped this card up using Build a Card Pad by Imaginisce.  It came together so quickly. I added the last of my 3D critters that has been floating around on my desk. 
I have spent the last two hours going through old e-mails that I have been neglecting.  It's nice to be here all by myself, with no one to interupt.  Most of what I was looking at was scrapbooking stuff, which I'm really trying to do.  Getting all my pics off the computer into albums.  But that takes away from card time. 
Well enjoy your day.
Happy crafting ;o)

365 Cards

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  We did.  I've been home since Christmas Day, so its been nice.  Sweatshirts and loungie pants is all I've worn.  How relaxing.  I've done a couple of scrapbook pages, a couple cards, and tried to tidy up my area while finding room for all the new stuff.  Hooked up my new laser printer today.  And I've spent the last four days learning how to use my new cell phone.  We had an old one we carried for emergencies.  The kids at work laughed at it, it didn't flip open, it was just one handset,so I would have to lock the keypad so you didn't dial someone when it was in your purse.  Enough about that, on to cards.
I put tegether these little 3-D critters before Christmas, and they were sitting on my work space getting in the way.  I made these cards for 365 Cards-Day 302-Sketchy Sunday. 

Here is the sketch.

365 challenge 143 144

Today's cards are for 365 cards challenge 144 You Raise Me Up. To add dimension to my cards I like these 3D images. They are fun to put together. Some added gems are always nice too.

The second one is day 143 Keep it to Yourself : Sympathy. I used the negative image of an outline sticker.

Well the last two days were nice and sunny out. Today I'm back to work and yes it's rainning. Which will make it busy today, because half our population in the summer is cottagers and they can't stay at the cottage when it rains. The thing to do is go grocery shopping. But at least it makes the day go fast.

Chat later :0)
