Recipe:
-PP Cosmo cricket
-Cardstock Bazzil
-Stamp Penny Black
-Bling
-Assorted Bead Spacers/brads

Punched Border Penny Black Card

This card was a complete accident. I needed snowflakes for another project so I punched them out the nearest scrap I could find. Then I wanted to use the cute little mouse as a cut out and grabbed the same scrap and stamped him but I liked the way it looked so much I didn't cut it out I made it into a card. I attached the paper to a piece of acetate so that it kept its airy feel and added another punched piece to the back.

Recipe

-Punch Martha Stewart
-Stamp Penny Black
-Bling clear
-Dazzling Diamonds Glitter SU
-Eyelets, Turquoise

A Little House Mouse

Happy Wednesday! Happy because the week is half over. Sorry for no posts lately but there's been no Mojo here as I've had the flu over the last week. Didn't even have the energy to post the couple of cards that were already done. I'm on the mend now though so will hopefully have some energy to get something creative done soon.

This is one that I did a couple of weeks ago and I love that it's so simple. The snowflake border is stamped and embossed with bridal tinsel. The stamp is House Mouse. I watered coloured it and then put glitter on the wreath. I couldn't capture this with the picture but it is quite pretty. Thanks for stopping by-Tania

Happy Fathers Day

Is it just me or is it harder to create cards for men? Everytime I make one it just never seems complete. I guess it must be because I am some what of an embellishment junkie and flowers and bling just don't belong here LOL!Paper for this one is from Basic Grey and the stamps are PB critter party. Thanks for stopping by-Tania

Another try at this one.

I liked the layout of the red card I posted last week so much that I thought that I would try it again with a different colour combo. This is also the card I made some kits of to give to my bestest scrap buds at the retreat, I hope that you had fun making them girls...Thanks for stopping by-Tania

A Beary Cute PB B-Day card!

First off I have to say I just had the most wonderful time at the Crazy Croppers retreat weekend at Green Bay in Westbank it was definately a great "girls" weekend away and the food was fabulous. Time spend on the beach with the summer weather made it just like a resort stay. So sad that its all over though.

Had to Play with another new Penny Black set this one is called Teddy and company. The patterned paper for this is from Cosmo Cricket called Honey Pie: Ella. I created the sky and ground background using a recent tutorial on split coast stampers I however did not have the non stick craft sheet so I just used a piece of acetate and I used glossy card stock instead of regular cardstock. I just took a green ink pad(certainly celery) and a blue ink pad (soft sky) and swiped them onto the acetate then spritzed on water and placed the glossy Card glossy side down onto the mixture. I then repeated this about three times to get the effect making sure the cardstock dried in between.

The images are coloured with water colour pencils and the bear is popped up with foam tape. Thanks for stopping by.-Tania

...friends keep you hangin' in there

Oh it's so true it really is friends that keep you hanging in there. I just had to try this new stanp and really like how the sentiment, paper and stamp all work together. It really turned out to be one those special cards for a special person! Hope everyone has a great week. Only three more sleeps until our crazy croppers retreat weekend, yeh! Thanks for stopping by!-Tania

Just a quick post this morning to show you the little goodie package I made to send to my Aunt.I used the Cute Card Thursday challenge 55 -Marshmallows and Chocolate (Which was to use the colours Pink and Brown).

We don't get to see each other nearly enough. So when I thought about what to give her I came up with, wouldn't it be nice to share a cup of coffee while we had a little chat. So I'm putting a sample pack of coffee in this cute little holder that she can brew while she reads my letter and looks at the pictures I sent.I hope she enjoys it!
