Hey Love Bug: Pink Cat Studio New Release

Happy Thursday. Are you having a good week?
my kids are on school vacation this week, so we have been trying to keep them busy. Yesterday we took them to the Boston Museum of Science and saw the new Harry Potter exhibit, which was fabulous. We had a really good time. From the museum my hubby to me to Blick Art Supply (which is located in Boston, and is the only one anywhere near me). So, I finished the day with a little shopping spree.....So fun. I purchased a few more copics for my collection. I just love my markers (hehehe) .

Moving on to today card. It's a big day today. Pink Cat Studio is releasing 3 new Digi images today, and 7 new rubber images today as well. You have got to peak at them, they are soooo cute. When I was making my card, I decided to use Lily Butterfly. I think she is so cute, and I knew that the basic Grey Sugar Rush paper would go great with her. I am pretty pleased with how she turned out. What do you think? I decided to try one of the crunch flowers in the corner. So easy to make. You may be seeing more of those in my future. Wanna see what the Pink Cat DT came up with for samples for these new stamps? You can check them out here. Well, that is all for me today. I am going to leave you with a few pics I took yesterday while in Boston. Have a great day an happy Creating!

Hogs -N- Kisses

Happy Tuesday. Thank you for stopping by. Did you have a good weekend? Mine flew by. I had to work on Sat night, and then my daughter had her first gymnastics competition on Sunday. She did so good. I am so proud of her. I will add some pics at the end of this post


So, onto my card. I am so proud of my self, I am using this card for 2 different challenges. I first chose my sketch and went with this weeks Mojo Monday., and then picked up a challenge over at KL Stampin N Scrappin. Their challenge was to make a card that was black and white plus one neutral color. Well, I have had this pig forever and I have never used him, so I thought I would give home a try. He was a pain in the tail to color, because He is so big, but I think it turned out OK. what do you think? Do you want to play in the KLSS black & white challenge? you should head over. She is offering prizes. We all like prizes..

Of course I had to share some photos of my little champ.














Have a great day and thank you for stopping by. Happy Creating!!!!

Ho..Ho...Ho with some wintery fun

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....everywhere you go...... DO you have that Christmas feeling? Up until this week, I really haven't been in the Christmas mood. For me, it usually kicks in after my finals are over, which is next Wednesday (yahooo).

What do you think of my new Greeting Farm Santa? Isn't he adorable? My kids loved him also, so I had to stamp them a few as well. I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch and made this very simple card. I wasn't sure what I thought originally, but I kinda like it now (hehehe).

Well, we had our 1st "real" snowfall today. Approx 6-8 inches. The kids and I had no school (yahoo). I took the opportunity to snap a few photos.



Well, that is all for me today. I hope you are keeping warm and having a great day. Happy Creating.

Witching you a Happy Halloween!

Happy Tuesday!!! How is your week going so far. I can't believe that Halloween is this Saturday. My family & I just love Halloween. The decorations, the costumes, and the celebrations.

Speaking of celebrations, every year we hold a neighborhood Halloween party/parade and we did this last Sunday. What a great time we had. All the neighborhood kids got dressed up, and they all gathered at my house for some goodies, and a get together. We had a great time. I am really looking forward to Halloween. It is supposed to rain, but I am hoping that it holds off. Do you have any special plans for Halloween?

For today's card, I used "Itty Bitty Betty-Broom Ride" digi image from Pink Cat Studio. This is a pretty simply card, but I did want to add a little dimension and pop dot the cat and frog. I used a some DP from my scraps stash and viola.

I don't know about you, but I make cards, mostly for challenges and such, and then they get thrown in a box and never to be seen again. Well, this year I am determined to mail out Halloween cards. I have made a bunch and they are going postal. Why do I hang onto them??? Do you mail your cards? what do you do with all your cards?

I wanted to share a few pics of the Halloween parade we hosted. The first pic is of our house. Every year my husband goes crazy with the decorations, but the kids love it. The second pic is of my husband and a skeleton he made this year. The skeleton is actually wearing some of my husbands old clothes. The third picture is of my kids. My daughter is a hippy girl, and my son is a Mario (from Mario brothers), and the last pic is of my fur babies. People think I am crazy, but I can't help myself, they look so cute......

Well, that is all for me today. I hope you're having a wonderful day. Thanks for stopping by, and happy Creating!!!!

Inky Impressions challenge

Happy Wednesday, and Happy Fall.  Can you believe that fall has arrived already?  Here in New Hampshire, we have been seeing signs of Fall for a few weeks.  It has started getting cooler, the leaves have started to change, and all the local farms are full of Mums, pumkins and fresh picked apples.  MMMmmm..this is my absolute favorite time of year.
 My card today was made for Inky Impressions Wednesday challenge.  This weeks challenge is to make a card and use 4 different embellishments. Embellishments are easy right.  I also combined my Inky Challenge with this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

Wanna see what the amazing DT over at Inky Impressions did with the challenge?  You can check them out :

Seeing that it is the second day of fall,I thought I would share with you some pictures I took recently at one of my local farms.

 Well,  that is all for me today.  I hope you have a FABULOUS Wednesday.  Just think the weekend is almost here.Yahoooo.....
Have a great day and Happy Creating!

I'm Back!!!!

Happy Monday. I am home from Vacation and I have developed a Sinus Infection and I am having trouble with my asthma. I can't seem to get into the swing of thing. After a 10 hour drive home on Sat, I layed on the couch all day yesterday. Hopefully I can get things together soon. I have a ton of laundry to do and the kids and I go back to school next week. I can't believe it. I am not ready for summer to be over.........

Anyways, we did have a FABULOUS vacation at Ocean City Maryland, and loved everything about it (except the drive). Since I have no cards to share today, I thought I would share some pics. I hope you all have a fabulous day and happy Creating!

The Winter's beast and beauty

Last night was a nightmare. Our lights went out at 10:30pm, and stayed out until this morning. We had a pretty significant ice storm. I hardly slept, as I was worried sick about all the trees I could hear cracking all around us. We have a huge pine tree in our front yard, and it was losing branches left and right. At one point during the night, we heard a huge crash, and it turned out to be a huge branch from the pine, which wiped out the wires from our house. Needless to say, when we woke up, I was not shocked to see the mess in my yard, nor the neighbors. Once I was passed the aw of the storms strengh, I started to notice the beauty that it left behind. Of course I had to run and get my camera. I hope the weather is better where you are.

Blogger's Challenge #69: Color challenge

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, another Friday is here, and that means another Bloggers Challenge. This weeks challenge was a color challenge. The colors were Old Olive, Really Rust, Riding Hood Red (white/vanilla or confetti may be used). Color challenges are Hard for me because I rarely make a card without designer paper.

This challenge turned out to be no different. I serious spent 4 hours off and on making this card. Finally I had to break into the DP. Also, I didn't have riding Hood Red, so I used Cranberry, which I hope is close enough. This card is very different for me. I like to use cutesy images, but I really did enjoy coloring the pumpkins and leaves. I LOVE TO COLOR!!!.

This card is the perfect card for our New England fall. It is gorgeous right now. The leaves are slightly past peak and the temp is getting colder, but it is really pretty.Here are a couple photos I have taken recently of the trees and things.

Supplies:

Stamps: CTMH

paper: SU cardstock, Basic Grey DP.

Ink: watercolor crayons, staz on

Misc: Leave punch, Stickles, CTMH brads, Sizzix embossing folders, Marvy scallop punch.

Thanks for checking out my challenge. If you get a chance go see what all the ladies of Bloggers challenge made. You can click on the link on the side.

Have a great weekend.
