Stampalicious Red and Pink!

This weeks challenge over on the Totally Stampalicious Blog is to create a card using the color combo Red and Pink!  These are some of my favorite colors so I had a lot of fun with this challenge!  

I know, I know.... I am a little behind in getting my card ready but honestly I have a great excuse!  Instead of uploading my card yesterday I went hiking with my mom and my friend in the beautiful Maligne Canyon!  Maligne Canyon is located in Jasper, Alberta!  I have gone there plenty of times during the warmer months but I had never thought of a winter hike and let me tell you it is absolutely spectacular!

Check out this picture of us standing in front of the frozen waterfall!  I'm on the left with my fancy pink snowpants, my mom is in the middle and my friend Susie is on the right.

Well, now that you know why I'm late getting my card uploaded!

For the challenge this week I used our Attitude Ruby stamp set for this card!  I colored her with copics, embossed the white background with my Crafts Too Daisy Flourish folder, used nesties for the ovals and a punch from my lss to create the flower border.

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you will take the time to head on over to our Totally Stampalicious Blog to play in some of our challenges!

Stampalicious Paper Piecing!

This week over on our Totally Stampalicious Blog we are Paper Piecing!  This has got to be one of my all time favorite techniques!  The possibilities are endless!

This week I chose to use our Angel Bear stamp set made by the fabulous artist Jodie Mackrell!  You can get the digis from her HERE and of course you will find the clear photopolymer version HERE!

I used some spectacular glitter paper that my buddy Joycelyn bought for me.  The picture really does not do this justice.  I paper pieced the clouds using the glitter paper and the background scallop is cut out using a nestie and glitter paper.  I colored my image with copics and then cut him out and popped him up.  I used gold Stickles for his halo and star.

Case a Totally Stampalicious DT member!

This weeks Totally Stampalicious challenge is to case one of our DT members!!!!  You are going to have a ton of talent to choose from and picking one is going to be tough!

This weeks prize.....A $15 GIFT CERTIFICATE!!!!!

This week I decided to case my good buddy Joycelyn aka: StampsnCoffee!  She is the reason I started this crazy craft so I thought it only appropriate to try and honor my friend!

With this card I took a few elements from a couple of different projects.  Tying the ribbon in that cute little bow was quite the feat for me.  I have always admired how Joycelyn ties beautiful bows on a lot of her projects so I had to give it a whirl!  The layers that I have my main image on are also one of Joycelyn's wonderful traits!  I am always checking out her stuff to see how creative she has gotten with layering different shapes together!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will take a tour on over to the Totally Stampalicious Blog and play along with us!

Anyways, I made this card for 3 different challenges!  Now, I normally don't do multiple challenges however I couldn't help myself this week.  After having an overload of computer work and no time to play I had to catch up on some of my favorite sites.

The first challenge is for Totally Stampalicious!  You need to make a Critter Card this week using any sort of critter so I chose the Hawt Dawg!

For the second challenge I needed a layout so I went to Friday Sketchers and used card sketch #91.

Next, just to make things a little more challenging I hopped on over to the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and used their 1, 2, 3 challenge.  You are supposed to use 1 ribbon, 2 buttons and/or brads and 3 punches.

I used white core black cs from CTMH.  DP from creative memories, copics for coloring, Hawt Dawg stamp set from Totally Stampalicious and the sentiment is computer generated.

Here is my project for this weeks Totally Stampalicious Monday Challenge!  This week we are asking you to make something using our images!  Don't worry, if you don't have one of our images we are offering you a free digi image from our new Coffee Brawd set!

We are having a family reunion this July and we will be holding a silent auction to help pay for all of the expenses.  I was asked by my mother in law if I could make a few things for the silent auction.  I haven't made one of these stationary sets in a long time and I forgot how fun they are!  I used our Coffee Brawd set for this one and the tutorial for the stationary set can be found HERE!

The dp I used for this is from SU and is called Autumn vine.  I used sage shadow cs, whisper white cs, really rust cs, creamy caramel ink for sponging, copics for coloring my images and some of the shapes and flowers were cut using my cuttlebug and various sizzix dies that I have.
