Treasure Oiler Designz: Crazy 4 Challenges

I was waiting for some new supplies earlier in the week and they didn't arrive. So I put it off but then we had a bunch of changes at work and frankly I wasn't in the crafting mood.

BUT....

I've decided to keep an open mind and just suck it up. I am always up for a challenge and learning new things.

I thought this sentiment from Verve's set called Blue Skies was wonderful :)

This week the Crazies are using shades of blue!

Easy right?

I pulled out some pretty My Mind's Eye Lost & Found - Breeze DP

Added a felt butterfly with the Flutterby die and accented with some pearls.

Stamps: Blue Skies; Cardstock: Kraft, MME Lost & Found-Breeze; Inks: Black; Accessories: Corner Chomper, Oval Nesties, MFT Felt, Pearls, Sewing, Dimensionals

The layout comes from the Viva La Verve January Week 2 Sketch.

I hope that you'll come play along with us at the Crazy 4 Challenges this week!

Now hop on over to the C4C blog to see what the girls have come up with!

Santa Gift Tags C4C117

Hello!

This week the Crazy for Challenge C4C117 is to use a Santa on your card or project.

Looking in my stamps I only found a few Santa images....how can that be?

Being that I haven't wrapped any of my gifts yet I figured I could use a couple more gift tags!

Finally decided on this cute Santa from an older SU! set called Deer Friends.

Again I was able to use more small scraps of designer paper. No wasting this year!!

For a bit of pizzazz I added some red glitter and white flock to Santa :)

Be sure to stop by the C4C blog to see what the ladies have created and leave them some love~

If you play along and upload to SCS please use keyword C4C117 and then come back to the C4C blog to link up your creation~

Have a wonderful weekend!

OOPS! I based mine on my fave Christmas Song....lol

Create a card or project around it and be sure to link it up on the C4C blog.

I have several Christmas songs that I love. It's my favourite time of the year! I have a hard time not singing them after the holidays....lol

My card today is based on one of my faves....

I can't wait to see what the other girls have created on the C4C blog!!

Looking forward to singing and decorating our house this weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

ETA: The snowflake die is from MFT and the sleigh die and hill(hard to see the glitter) are from PTI's In The Meadows.

Snow Day

Happy Weekend!

This week we'd like you to use snow.

I decided to pull out one of my favourite Pure Innocence girls.

I've used the MFT sketch for my layout as well.

Looking at this now I think I should have added some stitching but oh well, it's done ;)

Be sure to stop by all the Crazies blogs(links on the right) and also the C4C blog and play along. Then post your link to your creation under the Mr. Linky.

In The Meadow We Can Build a Snowman

Hello!

Today the Crazy Girls have a wonderful challenge!

Black, White and WOW!

The WOW being any colour of your choice along with B & W.

I chose one of my favourite colours. Aqua.

My friend Karen had ordered me these new dies and stamps from PTI and I was so excited to use them!

I have an obsession with snowmen in case you hadn't noticed lately on my blog ;)

I stamped the snowman and sentiment from In The Meadow in white craft and embossed in white as well.

The hills were created with the In The Meadow dies. A little bit of ultra fine glitter was added the the hill tops.

Now aren't you excited to see what all the girls have created?!

Stop by the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and take a peek!

Then be sure to go back and link up your creation so we can see it!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful weekend!

If you are in Alberta...stay warm!

Snow Much Fun!!! Really!

I just adore this snowman from Snow Much Fun!

So much in fact that I made several different cards using him last week.

First up was a second card I made for the Crazy 4 Challenge #113.

I coloured him with Copics and added some glitter.

The next one was for one of the VSN challenge on SCS Friday evening.

Create a white card with lots sparkle AND the only colour could come from your image.

I found this one super hard! I love my pattern paper and use it on almost every card I create.

This was coloured with Copics.

This one was for another VSN challenge of making a card about your favourite holiday song. Also you had to use at least two layers and two embellishments.

Love the look of stamping and colouring with copics on kraft cardstock!

Lastly, this one was created for no special reason other than I wanted to try my hand at watercolouring. It's been a LONG time since I have done this technique. Interestingly, I had several people favour this card on SCS. Not sure why....lol as it's super simple!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a GREAT day!

Snow Fun!

I'm back today with the Crazy 4 Challenges - A Triple Threat Card C4C113

Use three dies/punches, three papers and three embellishments.

Since I'm still in need of wintery cards to hand out this holiday season I reached for this super cute PI girl and some fun designer papers.

Layout comes from this weeks MFT sketch challenge.

Please be sure to stop by the C4C blog and play along. Don't forget to leave your link there so we can all see your creations!!

We are expecting snow this weekend....so I will spend my time inside stamping ;)

Have a GREAT day!

Warmest Wishes for a Glowing Holiday Tag

Hello and happy weekend!

I was tickled pink to receive an email from Frances earlier this week asking if I'd like to join the Crazy 4 Challenges team!

Things have finally settled down for me and I have a lot more spare time to do design team stuff so I jumped at the chance!

For those of you that haven't played along with the C4C team before please check them out.

This week we were challenged to Wrap It Up!

With the holidays fast approaching, let's see how you'll give a gift that personal touch.

Like boxes, tags, bags, gift card holders....you get the idea :)

I decided to create a gift tag.

Here I have used several different products from PTI, MFT and Taylored Expressions.

The tag began with a piece of kraft cardstock cut with the PTI Favor It Box #3. I cut off the bottom/side piece as I obviously was not creating a box ;)

I layered on some pattern papers from Echo Park's Season's Greetings.

The rosette was created by hand as I don't have a die for that...yet!

The sweet little felt bird was cut using the MFT Contempo Birdcage.

Sentiment comes from the Taylored Expressions Tag Treats.

Some sewing, dimensionals and ribbon finish it off.

Now that you've had a chance to see what I created this week I hope you'll join us!

Thanks for stopping by today!
