Well, I was really stumped! I don't really "love" halloween but I had this super idea!
Frankenstein meets Ian. 

I used the Amy R Friday sketch for the lay out. It was my first time using her sketch.
 I found it simple and sweet.
I am going to drop this all off at the pile it on: Challenge #21 too for a blue green and yellow card!

{12}thank you's in 1 hour



These great little card only took one hour for me to make.
The cards measure 4 X 4 inches square.
I used CTMH 12 inch stickers to decorate and using dark blue ink I stamped"Thanks so much".
The "Thanks so much" stamp was free with Verve stamps order.
How great is that... Everyone can use a thanks stamp!

See you soon,

1 tall Raspberry/ Chocolate Christmas card {to go}

This looks like a cupcake or something yummy to eat...LOL The card is 8 1/2 in. tall and 4 in. wide.

I made this yummy card with Dawn Mcvey's Raspberry Suite Color challenge. I love these colors! I was also inspired by the Stampin' Sisters in Christ, Challenge for a nativity theme card.
I really enjoyed both of these Challenges ...I may make some more!

Shaz Vs. the glitter {bom bom bah}

I love the way glitter looks on a card but I never seen to get it right...
I had the glitter all lined up teal on teal and orange on orange but somehow... somehow it got messed around. Not that it looks too bad, but I never win with glitter.
Any hooo!
The Finding Nemo Creative prompt was a color prompt and I just loved the colors! I love teal and Aqua the are just my fav! It also suggested that we use a quote from the movie so after much google-ing I chose the quote" good feeling gone". I liked this quote, it is so funny, when Dory is all happy and the it switches off..."good feeling gone." It is a great movie!

If you have not seen it Watch it....
You will laugh.

copic{couple}

I hope you all had a great week-end. It is defiantly Autumn here in southern Ontario. So we took some time to stroll in the park and look at the leaves with the kids. I know it is monday, so take a peek at Fridays post if you need a boost! I have some card maker's bloopers.

I am a new copic marker user, I am more comfortable with watercolors or colored pencils. I don't really know what I am doing with the markers but whatever... now is the time to learn.



Here is a card I made by embossing Anya and Ian. I colored them with the copic markers .
My main purpose was to blend colors from different color families.
I think it turned our pretty good!?! ***If you know of any great tutorials let me know.***

Hope you are Smiling! :)

smiles & bloopers

I have smiled so many times since I joined the GreetingFarm gallery!
The artists on the farm are so talented and encouraging I have love browsing the card they make. It is my new favorite gallery!
Today for the "FarmFreshFriday" challenge over at the GreetingFarm gallery. The challenge is to make a "no Fills" card. I must say it was tricky to refrain from ribbon and flowers. But I did it!
I made an easel card with this template. It is so simple. You can make three 4 X 4 inch card with a sheet one 12 X12 of card-stock. I also used the sketch from MojoMonday and the colors from ColorThowdown.
Now for my BLoopers!
Since I have had so many smiles from the comment here and at the GreetingFarm Gallery. I thought I would make you smile.
I will show you some great card bloopers!
This card was a scratch and sniff card that got licked by a 2 year old.
This card got edited by two 4 year olds!
This card was enhanced by a 5 year old stamper.

lol ... I love kids! they are so CREATIVE!.... lol

I hope you loved the bloopers. I am sure I will have more in the future.
Have a great week-end,
Shaz

photobooth{sweethearts}

Remember when you took pics in a photo booth with your friends?
It was so fun, right!
Well my greeting farm stamp went into the photo booth for this card!
I think Miss Anya and Mr Ian are such a cute couple!
All the "stuff" on this card are teen inspired.
Graffiti paper, bright colors and flair.
I made the "flair" like badge by punching out 4 identical circles
{of different colored card-stock} and gluing them together.
When they were dry I frayed the edges with the edge of my scissors.
I stamped the sentiment on the front of the circles and filled the inside of the fray with liquid glass to create the "flair".

Just wait and see!
I have more Anya and Ian cards for you.

Card-stock, and sentiment stamp are SU!. Designer paper is Basic Grey,Obscure line. Black ink is Verafine. Ribbon is a dollar find. Liquid glass from CTMH. Image stamps, Miss Anya dressy & Ian by the GreetingFarm.

celebrating{life}

I mentioned last post that I have more party stuff and a great card.
Well, here we go...
We gave a huge stuffed gorilla to our 4 year old for her birthday. I could not wrap it so I had to decorated it. The gorilla had a decorated party hat and a sash. When my little one got it, she loved the sash and wore it all day!
Now for my card! To make this card, I used a few different challenges to make it special.
It had to be extra special because it was for our 11th Wedding Anniversary!
I have never used acetate on a card before but I love the way it looks.
****My Hank loved it too!****

autumn{treat}

We celebrated our last birthday for a while. Our youngest child turned 4 on the week-end. It was a great day. We had a family party so each invite was for at least 3 people. All the kids and all adults had fun at glow-in-the-dark bowling. Everyone came back to the house after for cake and pizza. Our little townhouse was packed! :)

Making party favors for family parties are kinda tricky... I wanted something for each family to share. Popcorn sliders seemed like a good idea, people share popcorn, right?

I have more party crafts and a great card to show you tomorrow.

See you soon,
Shaz

LOST {season 4}

I finished watching Season 4 a couple of weeks ago and just had to make a Thank-you card again. But I wanted to make a little gift too! Every LOST fan has noticed that abundant DARMA INITIATIVE supplies that magically fall from the sky, right? So I thought a DARMA INITIATIVE item ... like a darma covered a Ranch Dressing bottle, would be cool.{lol} Then, I thought, the gift should last longer than a few lunches.

Notebooks are always handy. So, I covered a composition books and created a card that looks like a plane ticket. The notebook had to have a hint of drama. So it has the title DARMA INITIATIVE and a darma-like symbol decorating the front. I cut these great letters with my MM SLICE cutter. I sponged green, yellow and beige ink on the edges to make the book, look like it's been dragged through the jungle for three months.
The plane ticket has the bright paper pieced Oceanic Airline Symbol on the front of the folder. The inside holds a simple blank ticket on which I wrote my thank you note. I did not sponge the ticket or the folder. I thought the contrast of the two pieces looks sharp when I tied the leather sting around them.

Well, I am waiting for season 5 to come out on DVD. Then Season 6 of LOST will start in Jan 2010.



Shaz.
