All That Scraps, CC Designs, Tissue Box Cover

Good morning, another day has begun. It would be lovely but I can't figure out how to stop this computer from underlining everything!!!  Today I have a tissue box for you it is a challenge I found on All That Scraps Blog. There is still time to play, head over there if you want to play. This was a fun little project to do..

 

If you need help with the measurements you can head over to splitcoaststampers and in the resource section the have it all there. ( the lines went away on there on weird)  The image I used is the cute little swiss pixies line, this one is Birgitta.. All other supplies are SU besides cutting out the shapes with my nesties. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did in making it!  Thanks for stopping....   Meg
I preview this post and there are no line like there are when I am typing this but I see it is in 2 different colores go figure..

Viva LaVerve Sketch SU Winged Things

It's Wednesday  half way through the week. I can not believe it time has really flown by..

 I have a card for you today that I did for the Viva LaVerve Sketch challenge. I love to make cards that are different in size than the norm, so this was right up my alley. For those of you that don't know I love dragonflies!!!! So when I get a chance to use them I will... I don't know if you can see the shimmer of the white card stock, I love coloring the image in with copics while using this card stock because the shimmer shows through. Then Icrystal effects to make it all shinny. My little one took the card and claimed it as hers as soon as I was done! LOL  Stamp is SU Winged things  the card stock is SU.  DP is some from my stash I can't recall the name of it... Well here is wishing you have a great Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping!

Sweet Sunday Sketch

Hi happy Tuesday! Another day has begun, it is snowing here looking very pretty all white. I have 2 cards today I need to get some thank you cards done for some presents I received, so I thought i would use the sweet sunday sketch. 

The first card with the dragon fly I colored the wings in with shimmer paints. I wish I had captured the shimmery if that is a word lol  of the wings they look really cool. I have not used them in a long time!!

Funny how we forget things we have when then are not right in front of you.

The DP is Cosmo Cricket. The CS is SU I have used my nesties for the circle, and borderabilities for the two strips one is the negative of the other.

My second card is using the same sketch just more layers. This time I used My Minds Eye for DP and SU for CS, I did color it with copics. Hope you like my take on the sketch. Now that I have stumbled upon this sketch i will have to play every Sunday!  Have a great Tuesday..     MEG

Mojo Monday's

What a nice way to start off your week with a sketch. I love this little bunny holding a little potted heart!!

I was at the store the other day and saw that they had all of the valentines day stuff out!! I just took my tree down. There is no way I am going to put up all of my vanentines decorations yet, although my eight year old would love that... I like the open spaces after you take down Christmas, and get the house back in order!

OK on to the card.. I colored the image in with copics cut it out with nesties, the CS is SU and the DP is Cosmo Cricket, I went with the garden variety. I might go over and try the vera sketch have a great Monday! Thanks for stopping... MEG

Happy New Year

I can not believe it is 2011 were did the year go to? Last I remember it was girls swim season and my daughter was doing good my teams was moving along all was well.  Then my daughter made States and it has been non stop since then. Emily did well the first time at states she placed 24th in NYS, not bad for a freshman. Then I had one day off and went into our boy season! Not a real strong one this year but that is ok. I do have 5 divers so they are  keeping me busy.
     I usually don't make to many New years resolutions, but the one thing I really want to try to do it write on my blog daily. Not to sure how many people actually read it. But I think it would be good for me to try to do this for me. I read so many blogs out there and hardly put anything into mine.  Lets see if I can turn it around I want to leave you with a picture of my kids and I around our big Christmas tree. I hope you  can see how big it is all15 feet of it!

my youngest son who is standing next to me is 6' 4" .  well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year! My Daughter and I are gonna try to change my blog  background seeing that I have had the same one for a year i will have to start looking for some backgrounds.Thanks for stopping  MEG
