Let it snow, oh nooooo!

Believe it or not it snowed yesterday!!  Ugh!! Atleast it wasn't cold enough to stay around.  I don't want to think about snow right now so this will be another short post.  Here's a card I made just this morning.  It's another of my "happy little accidents" as this card was created by accident.  I was moving some scrap pieces around and this is what I ended up with.

 

I have a clear envelope of punched snowflakes that I keep on hand, you never know when they might come in handy!! 

Here's a little snippet for tomorrow's blog hop. Stop by and see what's new with Whimsie Doodles!

Hello everyone!

Whether you're snuggled up with your honey in your favorite sweater by a fireplace, set out for your favorite coffee shop to visit with Beanie Anya, or snowboarding with Toby Cub, the theme is COZY and RELAXED this month...or , perhaps you're preparing something 'cheeky" under the tree for your honey? It's never too early to start that shopping, right? ;)

bird cage cut files.

 The next is a set, same layout, one set called Sentiment-edibles.

Beans, beans are good for cards!!

Especially when it's Bnneanie Anya!  Can you believe there's so much cuteness under one hat??  Beanie Anya will be available Nov 1st.

Don't Envie this post!

Well I have to say that this week's FFF challenge is a first for me!  I have never decorated an envelope, and that is just what this week's challenge is all about.  So I tried to decorate an envelope and tried as hard as I could to keep it flat (in case I actually wanted to mail it)!  So that means no buttons or ribbon!  Eeek!!  I didn't think I could do it! 
So if your up to extending your card crafting skills into the realm of envelopes give this challenge a try!  There's even a prize up for grabs! 

Stop by The Greeting Farm blog for more inspiring envelopes! The little cutie on my card is Nahla and she is from the Spotlight collection.
Her skin tone was created using Copics  E13,15,17

Frankie's a little blue

Well it's Whimsie Wednesday challenge time. 
This week's challenge is to show us your odd side of colour.  You just have to create a card using colours you wouldn't use.  My card uses Kraft,teal and olive to make my Halloween card.  Frankie's a little blue, but I think he'll feel better by Halloween!  LOL

I used the Halloween Mini's from Whimsie Doodles to make this card.

You rock!

I made this card a while ago and I just keep forgetting about it!!  The funny thing is that Jade is my most FAVORITE of all the images in the Spotlight collection from The Greeting Farm!  Isn't she a cutie??  She looks like Abby from NCIS.  I love Abby!!

Let's Get Sketchy

Hi everyone, it's another friday and another Greeting Farm challenge.  This week's challenge is based on a sketch I created, I hope you like it!  I used the really cute digi stamp by Marianne to create this card.

Here's the sketch

And here's my card

Digi Stamp-Ivy Broom-Marina Neira

Paper-Whoo Ligans-BoBunny

Kissy Kissy

The Greeting Farm recently released the Bride and Groom stamp as a digi download called Kissy, Kissy.
I was so excited to finally get this image as I think it's just too cute.  And I figure since today is my anniversary I might as well show the card I made with the image.  I think it works perfect for both wedding and anniversary cards.
