Five Days Till Christmas!!

This morning sitting at the table with my daughter she simply stated five days till Christmas..All of the sudden I realized that I still need to do five cards..how did this happen where did the time go...So I guess I will be hibernating in my craft room for a bit...Today is Cute Card Thursday and I am fortunate enough to be the Guest Designer for the month of December, and also for the month of January..the DT team here is very talented...The theme this week is Eat, Drink & Be Merry..It is sponsored by Whimsy Stamps so your project must follow the theme..This week I did tags and I used a Digi image or a couple from Teddy Bo...I made Hot Chocolate Cones put them in a mug along with a Chocolate Bar sealed them up and placed the tag on them...These I used for teachers gifts, I enjoyed making these tags so I made 17 of them...So I hope all of you have a great day and if you have time at this busy time please join us...http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.ca

Great News!!! & A CArd..

Isabella loves her Icecream!!
Good morning to all of my fellow crafters...I am reading this book called the Secret and let me tell you something the lesson it is teaching is definitely working..The idea of this book is that the world works on the Law of Attraction, so in short what you think wether positive or negative you will attract that kind of energy into your life...It has been a week and I am in the process of changing my though patterns man oh man...who would have thought that thinking about your thoughts would be so hard.  It also made me realize that the most amazing gift I have is my family with all of their quirks..It is those quirks that define them as a person and lord knows I love each and everyone one of them more than words...So if you are going threw a rough patch then get this book I can honestly say it works...It is a far stretch from my Vampire books...Now I said I have some news..OK 1 SECONDS I AM DOING MY HAPPY SHUFFLE!!!!!!!!! Ok sitting down again one of my resolutions was to get onto a design team this year..I DID IT!!!!(jumping up and down) I was asked to be a GD for Cute Card Thursday and I got a badge to prove it!!! (jumping up and down!!!) Now they asked if I would do this...well what do you think I said YES YES YES!!! (jumping up and down!!! no more jumping going to take a heart a tack..)  So I will be doing this for the month of december..I am still in shock that someone would think my cards are good enough to do this...Ok enough rambling..One more thing I would like to thank all of you for your positive feed back and support it is that, that keeps me colouring...Ok new card the image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white card stock..Image is an Uptown Girl from Stampingbella..Image name is Isabella loves her Icecream...A girl after my own heart..I coloured her with Copics and Shaded her with Prisma Pencils blended with Gamsol...added some glitter dust and boom this is what I came up with..hope you like and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! be safe, be happy and hug someone let them know they count and I promise that smile will brighten your day..MWAH!!

A Baby Butterfly...

Prisma Pencils....No Copics

Copics with Prisma Pencils for Shading...
This is a card I did for a baby shower for this past weekend....I did one with Copics and this one is done with pencils..This is a Krista Smith Image called Butterfly Baby I bought this from her digi shop...If you go on her web site their is a story to go along with this image.  When you purchase this image she donates money to this charity...Crafting and helping does not get much better than that..so I hope you like my card..take care and have a great day.. Ok ladies I do have both pics compare I like both but as you can see the pencils are soft and the Copics are bold..

Gots Ya A CArd!!!

Hippie Love!!
Good evening!! Who says that your title has to be correct..Well it has been a bit since I posted a card..Well I have been coloring but no time to post...I had the wonderful experience of going to a Tim Horton's Camp on a school trip.  Man oh Man what an amazing experience...Lets just say the lessons learned are well worth buying an extra coffee each day to help support these amazing camps...Now I have to tell you ladies a story...I have a friend who lost her husband nine months ago to a tragic car accident to then make progress to be knocked down by a legal matter...just when the water started to settle she calls me to tell me she has found a lump in her breast...Lets just say when I get off the phone I walk out of my craft room go upstairs get my coat get in my card and I drive thinking to myself..(sorry if I offend anyone I do not mean to) are you f*&king kidding me...I pull over on the side of the road I look up into the sky and say what are you doing do you not believe on giving someone a chance..,Well nothing happened except that it started to rain...So on Monday she had a breast removed...Today I go out to see her and before I leave she asks me if I can give her a hand washing before her nurse comes..Yes I def can do this for her...Then we proceed to wash her hair and she tells me that is the best she has felt in a while as we turn to the mirror so she can dry her hair I am chatting away I look up to see a tear roll down her cheek... I lift my head and she looks at me and says how does this work Kerri...Now usually I am not at a lost for words but being unsure what to say..I say  Well you won't fall over or tip sideways...now this is one of those times as it is coming out I am think oh man is that what you just said...My friend looked at me and bursted into laughter she laughed so hard I had to get her a pillow...When we were all done and she was dressed and I was heading out she told me one of the reasons that she loves me so much is my outlook on life...I guess what I am trying to say is who is to say what is right and what is wrong.. I think that if we live our life treating one another the way we want to be treated life will be great..Sometimes the wrong thing just might be the right thing... I want to take my hat off to all of those who are survivors of cancer and to those who stand by the loves they love and support them...Courage, I think is something that we have to learn and relearn all of our lives...Ok done rambling....Yes I do have a card it is a Krista Smith Hippie Love this is one of my favs and I made this one for a special little girl who is turning six on Friday...love to all stay strong, safe and happy

Good morning to all.  Well today is Wednesday and my Hubby is driving me crazy with the banging.  You guessed it we are renovating.  A Bathroom the main one we have all of the material but nothing goes as planned..The tub was late but received yesterday and the drywall was no good, and after we ripped it down we found that the contractor did not insulate the wall...The contractor who built this house was horrible he def sucks in the world of Builder and Mike Holmes would kick his but...lol.Well lets move on to happier thoughts a card you say?  Yes of course I have one..The image is one from our talented friend Krista Smith and her title is Party Hardy and this I will do when the bath is done..I am going to enter it in Challenge # 12 which has to do with doilies and yep there is one very small..Image was coloured with copies as well as pencils..http://saturatedcanarychallenge.blogspot.com/...also going to enterhttp://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/

Hello!! Boy CArd!!

Birthday Crad!!
Ok a few things on the list to talk about....One my trip to TO, two my new stamps and third my card...TO trip was great I was very nervous to go I had to see a doctor about some results and lets just say they were negative..I have a cartilage disorder that is easy to manage..The treatment consists of mild medication and rest when needed...YEAH YEAH!!!!! I did not realize how much this was getting to me I was so sick driving to TO I could not eat or drink.  Well lets just say that after I got the good news I went out for supper to the Spaghetti Factory... I ate tons of food and even had a drink of course it was A CONDUCTOR!!! love love them...Enough about that...thks to all of you with your prayers and thoughts they must have worked.. While in To I went to Stampingbella and spent way too much money but you know I live in the boonies so going there is a big treat.. New stamps, lots of soups, and a couple of new paper pads.  Just when I thought that it could not get better I stopped at Woolfitts and stocked up on Prisma Pencils and Copic Refills...So this cover two out of three..Oh YEAH the third is my boy card...I love this little gut he is from Tiddly Inks and he is Boy Genius...he has got to be one of the cutest fellas I know..Hope you like the card and thks again for stopping by and also thks to those who not only stop but also leave me some luv..MWAH!!

Finally A Card!!

Sorry I have been busy and my hands are not letting do to much colouring..This makes me sad but if I can still colour a bit that is good...I did this card today and I think it is one of my fans Paula Willamson inspired it just plain and simple...I would list all of the copies I used but I think that there is 20 or so and about four pencils for shading..I am trying to learn how to do hair without my pencils but it is hard I love the look..You have to love kids my girls go to a Catholic school not for religious reasons but because of the french immersion program..Now do not get me wrong we believe in god but I guess you could say I slack in practicing my faith...Anyway my one daughter thought that I should give up my colouring for lent...I looked at her and said really are you serious..ya come on Mom!!  WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? Here it is I said why would I do that her response is well I know you would not last two days and then I could get my dessert back..What a schemer..Well that is my Kenzi that girl has an outlook that soars..So I guess she was my inspiration as well...The image on my card is a Krista Smith this gal is crazy talented...so thks to her and a big thks to all you gals that leave me some of your love I think that is what gets me to colour when my hands are sore..Here is Party Hardy done my way..MWAH!!!
