Manic Monday

I have been so busy & tired addicted to Facebook games that I haven't been doing much cardmaking...which is just WRONG. I mean, Christmas is just 25 days away now and I know at least one friend who will mail her Christmas cards tomorrow...sigh...where did the time go? I have a lot of cards made, but not nearly enough for all my cyber friends that I'd LIKE to send to. Plus, I still have hand made gifts to make start. So....I found myself alone this morning with some time to make cards and I did manage to get one done! It's even a Christmas card! Now...I intentionally made this card for the following challenges:

1. Mojo Monday Sketch
2. Corrosive Challenge: Red & Green
3. Paper Makeup Stamps: Christmas
4. The Pink Elephant: Favorite coloring medium (markers & blender pen on watercolor paper)
5. 2Red Bananas: Christmas/Winter

When I was finished making this card, I had enough time to go looking for another challenge... ummm...I think the challenge world is against me today because when I looked at these challenges the card I already made fit! I guess I was only meant to make one card this morning :)

6. Cupcake Crafts Challenge: Red & Green
7. Cuttlebug Spot: Winter

While I didn't get another card made this morning, I did find a card (uh...this one LOL) to mass produce for a swap I'm doing, so that's good, I guess.

Insert Witty Title Here

It's just too late, after a long day to try to come up with a witty title for this post :) This card is for the Tuesday Morning Sketch and the JUGs color challenge (oops, I'm a couple of days late for that one)... I'd enter it in the Corrosive Challenge too, but it wasn't really movie inspired...if I was inspired by Stuart Little I would have left this cute little Inktegrity guy white LMBO. Hmmm...the mice in Cinderella are grey... or there's that movie with Nathan Lane chasing the mouse all through the house... Ok...I'm cheating, I know.

THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY.
PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY COLOR DARE POST.


Ok...well maybe that came out wrong! It wasn't a challenging card to DO...but I did it for several challenges :)

1. Paper Makeup Stamps Makeup for the Weekend color challenge: Navy, Mustard and Olive
2. The Pink Elephant: Plaid, brads and no ribbons
3. Card Positioning Systems sketch challenge
4. Flutterby Wednesdays: use circles
5. Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: Thank You or Christmas Card (this is a thank you card)

More Inktegrity

I am soooo happy to report that while you are reading this I am enjoying a weekend of scrapbooking & girl talk at a friend's lakeside cottage. Let me tell you, last year when I woke up on the Saturday morning of this "retreat" and looked out over the lake, with the sun rising in her huge windows, I was in heaven! I can only hope the weather will be just as perfect this year. I finished approximately 30 pages last year, but with my printer down this year, I don't know if I'll be able to get as much accomplished...I didn't get to print out my pics before it died.

Anywho...enough personal dribble...you're here to see some cards, aren't you? I do have an Inktegrity card to show you today.



Isn't he CUTE? This is a free image that Joni has available HERE. I used this week's Card Patterns sketch. I think will be a great card for some upcoming kiddles bday.

PMS November Blog Hop

If you've just hopped in her from Dawn's blog then you're on the right trail! If not, welcome to the Paper Makeup Stamps November Blog Hop...to see all the wonderful PMS creations today, please go back to the beginning and follow along for lots of fabulous inspiration!

As soon as I saw this piece of dp in my bin, I knew I had to pair it with Noel for this Paper Makeup Stamps Blog Hop! Poor little guy...he looks so sad. Ok...maybe frustrated...I guess he kind of reminds me of DH trying to string the lights on the house every year!

And with any luck, by the time this is posted The Printer Doctor will be here fixing my poor sick little printer...sigh... lucky for me I was able to get Noel printed out before it died! I cannot believe how little I've been able to accomplish this week with my printer down...totally ruined my MOJO!

Ok...it's time to hop along to the next stop on the PMS tour today, which is Lisa Kind! Have fun on the rest of your blog hop!

Corrosive Christmas Card

7:00 AM Edit This 3 Comments »

This is my submission for the Corrosive Challenge this week, which was to use some embossing on your card. I also was playing with the "homemade" version of shimmer mist this week...mix rubbing alcohol with the SU Shimmer paint in a mini mister and VOILA! It is soooooo sparkly...I wish you could see it better on this card. I am doing it on everything now!
