On A Winter's Day

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge is starting today and for this week the twist is make a card in your favorite shape. I'm really not fancy I like to make the standard A2 card. Our sponsor for this month is Stitchy Bear. The image I choose to use is called On A Winter's Day.

The edges are distressed. Applied white liquid applique on some of the trees, fence and on some the house. Sprinkled glitter and them heat set the applique so it would puff up just a little.

 Used chalks to add some colors. In the windows I used some yellow Stickles glitter glue so it would give a glow of the light are on.

 Was not happy how the inside turned out and did not have time to change it and I will. So no picture of the inside this time. Here is a close up of the scene. I think you can see everything much better. I really like the way the chalks turned out with just a touch of color.

 Thanks for spending a little time with me, hope you have a great week end. Stay warm if it's cold where you are or stay cool if it's hot.

Cool Buddy's

It is time for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the twist for this week is all about Pets/Animals. We are starting a new month and our sponsor for the month of January is       

 Stitchy Bear.

I used a spellbinder die called deckles rectangles large to cut out the image. The image is called BB Kakes Cool Buddy's and you can find it here. I had some foam stars I found in my stash and thought they would look cool with the star paper.

 I used a lot of my scraps to complete my card. Still trying to use up all my scraps. Add some red ribbon to the corners for something a little different. The sentiment on the front is from TLC. They have so many interesting ones. I punched the sentiment out with one of Stampin ups punches called extra large decorative labels.

This how I finished off the inside of the card. This sentiment is also from TLC.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image.

Here is a close up of the image. I sponged around the image with some Brilliance ink color sky blue. I sure have had one crazy kind of week. I hope your week has been better then mine. When you get those days when things all happen all at once and you do not know what way to turn and have so much to do and get nothing done. Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great week end. It is going to be real COLD here in Wisconsin, hope it is better where you are.

Ice Skates

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. It is time for Scrapy Land challenge #33, our first challenge of the New Year. The challenge is our favorite one "anything goes" and you need to use die cuts the Scrapy Land sales in the store.

Scrapy Land has over 40 brands of dies.  You can see them all here.   Please link your project back to this Scrapy Land Challenge Blog.  It would also be extremely helpful if you would list the brands of dies used in your project.

 

The die cut I used is from Sizzix Bigz L Brenda Walton and Sizzix Tim Holtz alterations snow flurries. Their is a Video to help you to make the Ice Skates and I want to share that with you.
This is not fun but of course I could not get the video to upload here but I did get it to upload just under this posting so if you would like to watch the video it is only a 5 minutes long and you can see how easy it is to make the Ice Skates. If you have any questions PLEASE ask.

I used eyelets for adding the skates ties.

Here you can see Tim Holtz snow flurries. Added some gems to some of the centers.

Added a couple pom poms to the ends of the ties.

To be able to add so much glitter and sparkle I used Foam sheets called Foamies glitter sheets colors magenta, red silver and gold. Used lots of Stickles glitter glue colors used are Xmas red, gold, silver, black diamond, star dust and orange.

This is the inside of the card. The papers I used is from my Christmas scraps. All you need to do is fold a sheet of 12" by 12" in half and line it up with the ice skates area (shoe area) and you can cut it out. For the inside I did cut 2 of them and glued them together.

This is a fabric sentiment I had in my scraps.

These are some bards I found in with my stuff.

More stuff I found.

This is the left side of the inside.

This is the right side of the inside. Added some tiny snow flakes to the holds.

Now you know I made the card so I had to try and make the ornament and this is what I did.

It is all pretty much the same.
Added some pine cones and some red ribbon this time. Used red and gold and will save this for next years tree. Some red gems and Xmas red Stickles glitter glue. Wrapped the red ribbon around the holds for laces.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I love your comments so if you have time please leave something.  I'm sorry I'm having problems with Window Live Writer, it is not working right and they are having some problems so I have to use Blogger to post and I normally do not do that so until they get this fixed I will need to use Blogger. To be honest I do not know what one is worst. I just can not get rid of these boxes a round my pictures????

Update from Google to my follower!

This is an update from Google and if you are a follower of my blog this will affect you.

An update on Google Friend Connect

Posted: December 21, 2015  In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.

As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.
We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.
Posted by Michael Goddard, Software Engineer

Once you create a Google account, you will need to become a Follower again because all previous Followers who did not have an account will be permanently removed from our Follower lists.  If you choose not to open a Google account, you can still follow my blog using Bloglovin' or via email.  You will need to check each blog that you currently follow to see what options they have for you.

 

I wanted to let you know what is going on Effective January 11th, 2016 anyone that does not have a Google account will no longer be able to follow blogs with blogger unless they sign-up for a Google account. In addition, blogger will also remove any followers without a Google account from the blogs they are following.

Merry Christmas everyone!
We are starting our challenge at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the twist for this week is to add a snowman to your card. The sponsor for this month is The Besties.

Sorry I’m posting late. My grandson came in from SD last night and the other grand kids had to spend the night. So it was crazy around here. The way I love it to be!!! Nothing like having the kids around. Does not happen enough.

The image I choose to use from Besties for my card is image #100010. I did cut her out. The paper I used is from Hot off the press and it perfect for a scrapbook page but I just love this sheet so I used the bottom half on the outside and on the inside.

This is what the inside look like. I did not want to cover anything. I’m going to write my sentiment with white ink.

I sprayed some silver sparkle and added some white dots for some snowflakes. A little star dust sticklers on the tree. The Cardinals are from a die cut.

Red gems for the trim on the little tree and a gold snowflake. With some sparkles.

Copic makers used to color the image.

Aleene’s true snow with some sparkles as the moon light is so nice and the snow would sparkle beautifully at night with the moon shinning.
Want to thank everyone for stopping at my blog though out the year. Be safe and have a wonderful holiday.
