Happy Thanksgiving Eve Everyone,

Are you cooking the Thanksgiving meal this year or going to someone else's home.  The hubs made reservations for us and let me know I won't have to cook. Last night we went to the Harbor had dinner and watched the sunset. Today is the first day since the Paradise fire that we have had good quality air. The smoke has made all the sunsets for the last week amazing, but I am glad to have the quality of the air improve. This is the first Thanksgiving without my mom and our 3rd without my mother-in-law. Somehow Thanksgiving just does not seem the same without our moms, we still have so much to be thankful for. My wish is that you do to.

Seems to me you can not go wrong making a card when you use awesome DSP like G45.

Hi Friends,

I am challenging myself to use this sketch from the MOJO Monday challenge from this week, today is the last day to enter it. There is no prize for this challenge I just like it.

 I used Graphics 45 " By the Sea" collection and some real shells on this card. I hope the shells do not get crushed in the mail.  I just shipped this out this past week.

The stamp I used is verve.

 I changed the sentiment out From you are special to you are precious.

Hi Everyone,

 I have an extra post day over at Creative Inspiration paints.  I needed to make a card  for my younger sister who just became engaged.  I always wish her the Best of Everything.  That is why I used the shimmering paints and these fine papers and  I went with the vintage look, what do you think?

Here is a close up of the flowers 

  **************************************************

Creative inspiration shimmering paints used: 

 Sky blue, Mellow yellow, Orange , Rose quartz

The paper I used is from Graphics 45  "A Lady's Diary". I used the sky Blue to paint the chip board bird and the label and one of the flowers.  The flowers were white but I wanted them to match the floral background paper and the shimmering colors were perfect. My card base is PTI blueberry sky. The ribbon is from my stash.  The best wishes is an inchie stamp from inkadinkadoo stamped with Versamark onyx black ink.

Also here is a reminder for the
Anything goes challenge, we would love to see your projects and you have a chance to win some CI paints, open until Feb 23
If you use CI paints on your projects you will get two entries. The competition is randomly drawn. So everyone has a chance.

Hi Again Friends,





As always I love the mojo challenges and this one is no different. I like how this card came out I was going for masculine and at first I thought it might come out either too boyish or teenage looking. So I was pretty pleased when it came out looking like this.

So I am flipping the sketch again, (I did this last week also) just because I like the way it looks with the elements I am using.
My deer image is from JT cartridge and all my DP's are from Graphics 45. The sentiment is from inkadinkadoo inked with Versamark onyx black.  My trim piece at the top, is a left over from making a rosette with  the Tim Holtz sizzix die.

Challenges:
MOJO Monday: sketch
FCC: It's a man's world
Paperplaytime: pets ( Could you have a deer as a pet?)

Thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed evening, Diana

Happy Sunday Morning Friends,

Don't you just love these fun challenges at Creative inspiration paints ?
 the THEME: Anything goes
Here is my card I hope you enjoy it and are inspired and I hope you will enter the challenge.

I absolutely love these embossing powders they are so super fine here is a link  Creative Inspiration products:
I used PTI Blueberry sky for my base, the rest of the papers are from Graphics 45, the dry embossed snowflakes are on Bazzill paper

I used  Creative Inspirations Deliquesce super sparkle red and clear -- it is super fine, did I already say that? It is true, it is amazing

Look closely at the girl I used clear over the whole image to get the effect that is there, it gives it an icicle appearance, very chilling, if I say so myself.

I love how it embossed.

So what is the challenge, again
 Anything goes  for a chance to win some CI paints, If you use CI paints on your projects you will get two entries. The competition is randomly drawn. So everyone has a chance you will have until Saturday Jan 5th to link your project up.

Thursday again My Pink Stamper 12 days of Christmas DAY 9

I really enjoyed  the video Courtney did over at My Pink Stamper.  I tried to do my bow too quickly and made it wrong and then it fell  apart. This was mainly do to the fact, the paper I used was too thick, I love the paper, it is from my minds eye Christmas, but it is only one sided.
On my second attempt I used a thinner double-sided paper and it is another favorite Graphics 45, and the effect is much better. I will link this up for the 9th day of the 12 days of Christmas over at My Pink Stamper.  Guess what stamp set I used?

If you guessed MY PINK STAMPER "Winter treats and Sayings"  you got it right. I really like the way my second bow came out. I stamped on vellum with Tim Holtz distressed Festive berries

I have one more post for tonight and then I have to go do something really creative----- iron. Hopefully I can visit tonight.

Wednesday afternoon for the third time and another challenge.

Hi Again,

I have so much paper and stuff out right now I can just pull one thing from any grouping and make a card in a five minute-- The mess is driving me nuts, but it is so easy to create when it is all out. Our Anniversary is Sunday so I will be taking the day off, but in the mean time I started to make My sweetheart a card and then found a challenge that fits it ( BETTER STILL)  Don't most guys like cars?  That is the theme of my card.
Personally, I love cars I grew up in Michigan and cars were just a part of my life. Speaking of cars that just arrived from Netflix today. I just love that cartoon. Ok Ok I'm starting to ramble.
In the middle of winter, years ago, I replaced the fuel pump on my mustang, boy was my dad ever proud of me. I did a lot of repairs on that car. I did all my own tune-ups to. Cars have changed quite a bit since then, everything is computerized on the newer cars. These days I usually have paint or alcohol inks on my hands.
This is the inside of my card:

This is an A2  tri-fold card, I used stickles on the brown to give it a look of a plate, like a trophy. The paper is fine linen PTI and chocolate from the paper company
