The small panel was stamped using ODBD's Brocade Background and embossed using a Sizzix e/f.  The background was stamped using ODBD's "Faith" several times and embossed with a Sizzix e/f. The decorative border was done using a Spellbinders diecut! The flower was done using  McGill's flower and leaf punches. Silver pearls were added to the corners!

Hi everyone!

It got up in the 40's today and some of that white stuff melted off. Tomorrow we could see the 50's wahoooooo! I can't get to excited because it's back to the 20's and 30's and more snow next week! Like I said before, it could be alot worse!

Today over on SCS Lydia challenged us to use a warm color and something fuzzy on our creations! I used brown and also stippled a warm glow around the flower. The fuzzy is the flower soft I used in the centers of the magnolias. Thanks for the great challenge, Lydia!

This is also to honor Queen Pam (pam124)! I'm late with this one!

     This is Pam's beautiful card I chose to case! Pam always leaves the "bestest" comments and encourgement! She also has a beautiful gallery! Hugs, Pam! Thanks, Marilyn!

         This is also for the CCEE Stampers Challenge to use all white layers! Thanks, Frances!

The lovely Rubbernecker‘s Magnolia was stamped and embossed, colored using copics and acrylic paint, cut out and framed using Spellbinder's Nesties. The next panel was embossed using SU Sizzix e/f and scored at the bottom using the ScorPal. The decorative border was done using (retired) Create a Cut and tiny pearls were added.

Hi everyone!

Hope you are having a wonderful day! It's one of those grey winter days. But that's ok it's nice  hanging out in my stamp room creating. We were suppose to get up to three inches of snow, they have now changed it to a dusting. That's a good thing.

Kim challenged us to use twine some place on our creation. Thanks for the challenge, Kim!

This is also for The Stampin' B's. Joanne (jojot) challenged us to use something old and something new on our creation! Thanks, Joanne! The Kittie Kits The Moose Is Loose was for the old and the ribbon and button was my new.

I created the cabin scene using RUBBERNECKER‘S Kittie Kits Cause A Scene "The Moose Is Loose". I stamped the cabin and then using a mask stamped the trees. White acrylic paint was used for the snow. The background was stippled using Ranger Broken China. Spellbinder's Circle Nestibilities and the Grand Calibur were used to cut out the scene. The decorative border is a Tim Holtz diecut. The background was embossed using Tim Holtz embossing folder. Twine was used to tie the bow together and then frayed.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon! Hugs!

Happy monday everyone!

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Ours was very quiet. After all the Christmas celebration that was a welcome change!

Over on SCS, Joan Ervin had a fun challenge to color using stickles! She also has a fabulous tutorial on her BLOG!

This is also in honor of Kathy (101Airborne). Kathy is a real sweetheart! Always in the challenges and always leaving lot of encouragement and love.

The lovely Rubbernecker Magnolia was stamped and then I colored the flowers using Ranger Icicle and Orange Peel Stickles. The leaves and bark were colored using Copic Markers ( Leaves G21, 85 and 99 - Bark B25 and 27). I added a tiny bit of the Icicle stickles to the leaves. The background was embossed using cuttlebug and c/b folder. The small panel was paper pierced!

I also stamped the inside and colored using copics on the leaves and using a little white acrylic paint to color the flowers! The extra leaf is to cover a smear, because a smear you can not see is not a smear at all! 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon! Hugs!
