2013 in Review

Hello, my friends.  Today is New Year's Eve.  The last day of 2013.  As I sit here, looking back on this year, I see alot of things.  Good things, bad things, sad things, happy things and every where in between.  This has been a hard year for my family.  We've struggled with deaths in our family.  My dad passed away on Memorial Day from cancer, my uncle passed away two weeks after that from cancer, and we lost my 23 year old cousin to a drunk driving accident in July.  We've struggled financially, emotionally, and physically.  During the first few months of this year I was recovering from a broken neck and neck surgery, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and for Christmas, I had the Shingles.

But, on the bright side, my husband and I have a stronger relationship, my daughter is doing great in 4th grade and I have three new design team positions for the new year.  I have been enjoying my current design team positions and have been stretching my boundaries with my card making.

I would like to revisit some of my most favorite cards of 2013.  These are the ones that I think turned out the best.  I hope y'all enjoy this trip down memory lane.

This one was made for Sassy Studio Designs PCP challenge

I followed a sketch challenge to create this card.

Using a new star burst technique

One of the cards made for Teapot Tuesday over at Splitcoast Stampers

Kenny K's wonderful talent just inspires me

I made this card for my dad's 65th birthday, but never got to give it to him.

Another beautiful Kenny K creation

I think this has to be my most favorite of the whole year.  I just love how this one turned out.

Using a Dustin Pike image.

I love sunflowers, and this Fred She Said set is just beautiful.

Beccy Muir created this amazing birdhouse.  It was one of the first cards that added all those flowers to.

This is one of my first tries at Gothic art.  Terri's image is just beautiful.

This was my design team call entry for Kenny K.

Using the same image from Delicious Doodles as I did previously shows the versatility of Teri's images.

My first Gothic inspired altered project.  I joined the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop with Smeared and Smudged this year and this was one of the projects.

A wonderful image from Rick St. Dennis.  His images are so fun.

QKR Design Team entry during October

This beautiful little girl is a QKR Design Team entry that you will see next week, but I just love it and since I created it in 2013, I wanted to showcase it.

Thank you for taking this trip down memory lane with me.  There are tons more cards that I love and have enjoyed making, but I didn't want to burn out your retinas.  I look forward to seeing each and every one of you in the new year and being able to showcase my work for another year.  Thank you for being my followers.  I have made it almost up to 100.  I'm very humbled that I have that many people interested in my work.  I truly appreciate all the wonderful comments y'all have left for me during this past year and I look forward to seeing alot more.  I love reading them.  My New Year's wish for all my friends in blog land is:

May you always have sunshine in your face, food on your table, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, family and friends surrounding you, enough faith to sustain you, and may your crafting always make you happy.

Happy New Year!

12 Days of Creepmas Day 12

Welcome to my blog and the last post for the 12 Days of Creepmas.  It's rather bittersweet that this is the last post for this holiday blog hop.  Now I have wait a whole year to do another.  I sure hope y'all have enjoyed these last twelve days of beautiful projects created by our Jolly Bloggers.  Also, a big thank you to Terra and Tori for all their hard work in putting this together.

Today, I finally get to use a Smeared and Smudged stamp.  I received my first shipment a few weeks ago, from the Smeared and Smudged Rubber Stamp Club.  I am using three of the images from the Dark Holidaze set by Rick St. Dennis.

I began by stamping all three images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I masked off the bottoms of each image and stamped some snow drifts.  I colored these images with Crayola colored pencils and Gamsol as well as a couple of BIC Markers. I then inked the whole thing with DI Tumbled Glass and Vintage Photo to age it.  The papers are from Harper's Bazaar and Luca and Lola from the Paper Studio.  I should have added a sentiment but I forgot. :)

I sure hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I will continue to be posting different projects for my design teams.  I do have an announcement.  I have been selected to be part of three new teams beginning in January.  Open Minded Crafting, Clear it Out Challenges, and I am part of the Core 4 at Kenny K's.  How exciting is my new year going to be?  Stay tuned for some great DT examples. :)

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog.  We are on the Christmas countdown here at my house.  My daughter has finished her Christmas shopping and has all her presents wrapped and under the tree.  I am not finished shopping, nor do I have anything wrapped yet.  I do have all my cards made and ready to be dropped in the mail..yeah, they are going to be late :) and I have finished all my hand made Christmas presents.  I will be posting pictures after Christmas because my mom and my mil both read my blog and I don't want the surprise to be revealed.

For today's card, I have used an Ike's Image.  I just Suzy's images.  She's so creative.

I was feeling not so Christmasy when I made this card.  I have been feeling this way for the past few weeks.  And now, I have been diagnosed with Shingles.  I am in lots of pain but I am pushing through.

I used some papers from the Harper's Bazaar paper pad from The Paper Studio to make this card.  I used my Crayola's to color in this chick.  The sentiment is mine and the card stock is Recollections and GP.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great day.  Make sure to stop in on Monday for the final card in the Smeared and Smudged 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.  I have received my first set of rubber stamps from the club and I am going to use it to be able to participate in Smeared Ink Day.  Stay tuned.

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Good Morning!  Welcome to Day 10.  Can you believe it's less than a week 'til Christmas?  Where did this year go?  Man, it seems to older I get, the faster time flies...And I wan't having fun the whole time..LOL.

Today's card features an image from Jade Draggone.  I think she's kinda cute in a twisted way.  She was intentionally designed for Halloween, but just as most of the images I have used along this hop, I made her into a Creepmas image.

I printed off my image onto Neenah Solar White card stock and colored with Crayolas and OMS.  After trimming down the image and inking her with Memento Lady Bug ink, I matted her onto a piece of Red card stock from Recollections. The card base is GP card stock.  The sentiment is from my computer and the papers are from MME.  I added two little candy canes from Jolie's to finish off the card.

Thank so much for all the great comments y'all have left me so far along this hop.  It still always surprises me when I log onto my blog and see that I have so many.  I hope y'all will continue along the blog roll that is listed on the right side of this post.  I will be back on Saturday with another card.  Have a great day!

Day 9 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Howdy!  Welcome to Day 9 of the Smeared and Smudged 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop.  As usual, the blog roll is posted to the right of this post and if you need a refresher of the rules, prizes and winners, please hop over to Terra's blog (First on the list) and check them out.

For today's project, I have created a card.  Shocking right? :)

Isn't he cute?  He is an image drawn by Vince Ballard.  He is a great artist with some fantabulous images.  I colored this guy with Crayola colored pencils and added a bit of glitter gel pen.  The patterend papers are from The Paper Studio.  I used Recollections card stock for the base and the mats. The sentiment is from my computer.  I did ink the edges with Fired Brick Distress Ink.

Make sure to hop on through the blog roll to see some amazing projects.  Stay tuned for Day 10 on Thursday.  Have a very creeptastic day.

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop

Well, we are three-fourths of the way through our hop.  It's been fun so far, but now I have a stack of off the wall Christmas cards with no one to send them too. My family and most of my friends would not appreciate my dark sense of humor that I have found being part of the Smeared and Smudged group.  I didn't even know I had a dark side.  I'm liking my dark side, but my light side is still shining brightly.

Today's card uses another  image from Jade Draggone.  This is a Halloween image, but coloring her dress and hat with Christmas colors makes it very versatile.

I tried to find a font that looked like it had bites out of because of her pet rat, but this is the closest I could get.  I used my BIC Markers for color in this image and added some touches of Sakura Glitter pens, too.  The papers are from MME and I used a Dark Red card stock from Recollections for the card base.  The flowers are made from small circles of satin held over a candle flame to melt and curl them.  I added a gem-encrusted star for the centers.  

I hope y'all liked my offering for today.  Now go on over to Black Dragon's blog and she what her wonderfully creative mind has come up with for today.  Have a great day and God bless.

Day 7 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Welcome back to my blog for Day 7 of our Creepmas Hop.  For all the details of the hop, please hop on over to see Terra's blog.  For the duration of this hop, the blog roll will be posted on the right of this blog.  There have been some wonderful creations so far along this hop.  I want to thank each of you for the great comments y'all have been leaving for me, too.  I love reading them.

For today's offering, I have a card made with a Jade Draggone image.  I just love her artwork.  It's funky and creative.

 After printing out the image on Neenah card stock, I used my BIC Markers to color it.  I trimmed it, rounded the corners and inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo.  The card base is made from Neenah and the  mats are Co-ordinations Dark Blue.  Both patterned papers are from DCWV Winter Basics 6x6 pad.  Adding three large blue gems finished off this card.

Thanks so much for hopping by to see me.  The next stop along the way Black Dragon's blog.  She's an amazing artist.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Day 6 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Hello there!  I hope y'all are having a great time during this wonderful blog hop.  I sure hope y'all are going through all the blogs so that you don't miss any of the wonderful projects being created for your viewing pleasure.

Terra has all the deets on her blog and you can find the entire blog roll on the right side of this post.

For today's project, I have created another card using an image from Anji's Antics.

You always see this sentiment on Christmas cards and it seems that everyone sends this type of card. Well, I had to creep it up a bit.  My house is decorated with reds and greens and ready for Christmas even if it is a bit creepy.  It's been cold here in NE PA so the pumpkin on the porch has stayed nice a fresh.  LOL.  I used some papers from MME to make this card and used a card base made from SU Crumb Cake.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I have say that I have been really enjoying reading the comments that you guys have been leaving.  Keep them coming.  I value every one that I get and it makes me feel special that y'all have taken time out of your day to come see my blog.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Welcome to Day 5.  Have y'all been hopping along the blog roll and seeing all these amazing creations? Aren't they spectacular?  We have some amazingly talented people posting projects.  

If you need the list, I have posted it for the duration of this hop on the right hand side of my blog.  Make sure to stop in and see Terra also for the deets.

Today I have a kinda romantic Christmas Creepmas card.  I used and image from Crafty Moments Cardmaking.  Vince is an amazing artist and has designed some fantastic digis.

Isn't this just the sweetest couple.  LOL.  I found these two beautiful Christmas papers in my stash. Where, oh where had these beauts been hiding.  I think they have a vintage, romantic feel to them.  I printed the image on Neenah card stock and colored them with Crayolas.  I'm still hoping for Prismas for Christmas.  I inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo and matted it onto some Dark Green Recollections card stock.  I printed out the sentiment and used the same ink and card stock to match the image.

I really like the way it turned out and I hope y'all do too.  Have a great day and I'll be back on the 11th with another Creepmas card.  Have a creeptastic day!

Challenges for this card:
Created with Love--Anything Goes
Parade Your Crafts--#10  Christmas

Day 4 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Welcome to Day 4 of the 12 Days of Creepmas sponsored by Smeared and Smudged.  Terra and Tori have been at it again.  They works so hard.  Make sure to stop by Terra's blog and leave her some love.

For today's project, I have made a card using a cute little Frankenstein.  Who says Frankie has to be strictly for Halloween?

I printed out the image onto Neenah Solar White card stock and inked around the edges with DI Vintage Photo.  I found this santa hat on my computer and enlarged it enough to fit Frankie.  The sentiment is mine.  I used two pattered papers from The Paper Studio and card stock from Recollections to complete the card.  Those little presents are from a sticker pack that I picked up a few years ago at Walmart and the sparkly red snowflake is from Christmas last year at Michael's.

I hope y'all have enjoyed this little creepmas card and make sure to visit all the blogs on the right side of this post to see some amazing creations.  I'll be back on the 9th for Day 5.

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Creepmas

Hello my Merry Hoppers and Jolly Bloggers.  So glad you guys stopped in today.  As always, the blog roll is posted to the right of this post and you can find all the deets on Terra's Blog.

Today I have a card that features a Delicious Doodles image.

I used my trusty Crayola's to color in this little Emo girl.  I trimmed down the image and inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo.  I used three papers from DCWV and some Green Recollections card stock.  I printed the sentiment from my computer. Adding some gems and some small snowflake punches finished up this card.

Thanks so much for all the great comments y'all have left for me.  I truly appreciate it.  Now, get hoppin'. :)

Have a wonderfully creeptastic day.  God bless.

Day 2---12 Days of Creepmas

Welcome back to the 2nd day of the 12 Days of Creepmas.  Did you guys see all the wonderful projects from Sunday?  Wowza.  I sure missed all the great projects from the 31 Days of Halloween, but I'm getting my fix now.

If y'all just happened to stumble upon my blog, make sure you go back to the beginning and visit Terra's blog for all the information.  You will find the entire blog roll as well as the scheduled blog post days to the right of this post.

I started this blog with a classic....Poe.  Today, I thought I would do a funny, off center card.

When I saw this image, I had to laugh.  I can just picture some poor father, trying to liven up Christmas for his children getting stuck in the chimney.  The image, one I found for free on the web, had a sentiment on it, but I wanted to change it.  I fussy cut the image out after coloring it with BIC Markers.  I used a speech bubble from DS4J and wrote the sentiment.  The papers are from DCWV and The Paper Studio.  The green card stock is Recollections and the card base is GP from Walmart.  I used a die cut that a friend of mine sent me and added two gold brads.

I hope y'all enjoyed this card and that it made you giggle just a bit.  Stay tuned for Thursday's card. Have a wonderful day and God bless y'all.

Day 1---12 Days of Creepmas

This image is from Ike's World.  I love it.  It's my first ever Edgar Allen Poe image.  The background paper is also designed by Ike.  I colored him with BIC Markers and printed off the sentiment from my computer.  It's a very simple card as I wanted Poe to be the focus.

I hope y'all enjoyed your first visit to my blog for the 12 Days of Creepmas.  Make sure to hop along the rest of the blogs to see what my blogging friends have for you.  I'll see you back here on Tuesday, December 3rd for another Creepmas card.

Day 31 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Well my Horrifying Hoppers, the time has come.  Today is the last day of our month long hop.  I can't believe it has been a whole month already.  Man, I guess it's true what they say...Time flies when you are having fun.

Before I show you what I have created for today, I have to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful hubby.  Yep, he's a Halloween baby.  He turns 36 today!  He's edging closer to the age I am now..lol  Happy Birthday honey.  I love you!

So, I had 6 images that I wanted to use, but didn't have enough days to use them.  So, I decided at the last minute to make a little 5x5 chipboard book.  My idea was bigger than the time I had available.  I still have to go back and do some embellishing, but I have the basics done.

This is kind of a long post so grab a cuppa and get comfortable.

This is the first page using a Delicious Doodles image that I won earlier in the Scavenger Hunt.  I used Crayola colored pencils and OMS.  The paper is from a piece of Teresa Collins collage paper that I cut apart, inked and added randomly.  The sentiment says, "Blue eyes can be very deceptive.  We can be sweet as as blue summer sky, but make sure you run if they turn dark and stormy."

The backside of this page is an image from Jade Draggone.  I used the same coloring medium but added some Glossy Accents to the lantern.

I haven't come up with a sentiment for this one yet.  My brain was getting tired. :)

Page 3 uses  another image from Jade Draggone.  I used alcohol markers on this one.  I fussy cut her out and inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo.  The sentiment says, "Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you have to fit a mold.  You are an individual! You are special just the way you are.  Don't change just to please someone else!"  The paper is from Recollections.

Page 4 uses a Heather Valentin image colored with alcohol markers.  The papers are from DCWV and the sentiment reads, "Everyone needs that one friend who loves you regardless.  Nothing can break the bond of that friendship!!"

Page 5 uses a RSD image and a Teresa Collins paper. This beautiful lady is colored with Crayola colored pencils and OMS.  She's fussy cut and inked with DI Vintage Photo.  Sentiment is, "Always listen to yourself.  You don't always need someone else to give you advice.  You are your own best advice giver!"

And, Page 6 is another RSD image.  I love this witch.  I colored her with Crayola and I am a heavy handed colorer, so I used a kneadable eraser to remove some of the black on her dress.  This one uses DCWV paper and the sentiment says, "Some days you just have to let your inner witch out!"

Tomorrow I am going to try and make the covers for this book and put it together.  But, whenever I do get it finished, I am going to post the completed book. 

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to every one of you who left comments on my blog these past 31 days.  Your wonderful comments kept me going when I wanted to throw in the towel.  I truly appreciate the time that you spent looking at my creations.  I have had such a wonderful time making these "out of my comfort zone" creations and sharing them with all of you.  I have "followed" I think all of the Wicked Bloggers blogs.  I want to make sure that I keep up with what all of you are creating.  I have my favorite artists, as all of us do, and I don't want to lose track of y'all.  I have learned so much this past month and have an arsenal of ideas to try in the upcoming months.  Because of this blog hop, I am now a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and am starting a new avenue in  my life.  I hope I can make it succeed, but if not, hey, a discount on Stampin' Up is always good, right.

Make sure to stay tuned to Terra's blog in the next few days for the remaining winners of the Scavenger Hunt as well as the grand prize winner...Oh I so want to win...my daughter wants the pj's..LOL.  Take care, stay well and keep on cranking out those amazing projects.!!

Day 30 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome to Day 30.  As we come to the close of this month long extravaganza, I have a quick little ATC that I made in about all of 5 minutes.  With my daughter being sick, I didn't have alot of time to craft the past couple of days.  So, here goes.

I used a background paper from Bearly Mine, which was a freebie.  I printed it out at ATC size and adhered it to a piece of cereal box.  I inked around the edges with Vintage Photo DI.  The stamp is a digi that I found for free online through a free image search.  I like that wise old owl.  I printed it at about 1.5"x2" and inked the edges again with DI Vintage Photo.  I added a sentiment from my stash and some black pearls.

Very quick and easy today.  Make sure to stop by Terra's blog to check out the sponsors for today and the winners.  See ya tomorrow for our last day of this wonderful hop.

Day 29 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Hello friends.  Welcome to Day 29.  Only 2 more to go.  I don't know whether to be sad or happy.  It's been one heck of a haul, hasn't it?  I've loved every minute of it though.

Today's offering is a "S" fold or "Z" fold card, depends on how you first learned it.  I used two of Delicious Doodles images, The Graveyard and Vampiress.  At first, I was going to add her to the scene with pop dots, but the more I looked at the graveyard, I realized I didn't want to cover it up.  So, I made the "Z" fold card.

I did some shading on the graveyard with eyeshadow.  Yep, that's right.  Eyeshadow.  It makes wonderful chalk.  Plus, it adds some shimmer.  I found some great palettes of eyeshadow at Walgreen's for $1 each.  One even had black in it.  So, I shaded the sky with black and purple and the ground with shades of brown.  Some of the grave stones have a opalescent shimmer to them.  Vampiress is colored with Crayola colored pencils and OMS.  She looks a little light, but that's just the camera.  The sentiment is from my computer.  I added the journaling space to the inside of the fold so as not to cover up the graveyard. I added a few little Martha Stewart glitter bats to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all enjoyed your stop here along this great hop.  Make sure to stop by Terra's  blog for the winners of the Scavenger Hunt, today's sponsors and a refresher on the rules if you need them.  I'm assuming that by this time, you know them by heart. :)  See ya tomorrow for Day 30. 

I'm going to enter this card in the Left of Center challenge for this fortnight.

Day 28 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Howdy folks.  Thanks so much for hanging in with us during this month long hop sponsored by Smeared and Smudged.  Make sure to hop on over to Terra's blog (first stop on the blog roll to the right) for a list of sponsors, winners, and rules.

First off, I would like to wish my Granny a wonderful, spectacular, fantabulous 90th birthday today.  I wish I could be with you, Granny, but I'm thinking of you.  My granny lives in Virginia and I live in Pennsylvania and I just am not financially able to go visit.  I miss her and hope she has a great day!

Today's card is in honor of my Granny.  She's a princess but when I was growing up, boy could she be a witch.  I know now that everything she did, she did it for my benefit.  But, you know how us teens can be.
Thanks, Granny, for loving me enough to be tough on me.

This little cutie is from Cuttlebug Cuties.  Anna Stillwell has some of the most beautiful images.  I colored her with colored pencils and OMS and added some glitter to her bodice.  The papers are some oldies from DCWV.  I printed out the sentiment from my Word Processing program and added some black rhinestones to finish it off.  

Since Granny's birthday is so close to Halloween, I am using this card as her birthday card.  On the inside it says, "That spell is for a Happy Birthday."  

Thanks again for stopping by today.  Only 3 more days to go.  Hang in there and keep hopping. :)

Day 27 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome, friends, to Day 27.  I have noticed a drop off of participants in the hop..it's been a long haul for some of you.  Thank you to all those who are hanging in there with us.  To my Wicked Blogger pals, I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every project you have created.  There have been some that piqued my curiosity, some that blew my socks off and some that totally creeped me out.  You guys are a talented bunch of artist.

Today's offering is a little card that I threw together quickly.  Today was catch up on chores day so I didn't have alot of time to craft.  I still have quite a bit to catch up on, but I'm getting there.  

I found this green web paper in my scrap bin and thought, hey, this would be good to make a card with.  I used a white gel pen to draw some faux stitching to replicate the spider's web threads and attached some little spiders from a confetti pack that I bought a couple years ago.  The stamp in the bottom corner is an old one from Inkadinkado.  I added some gems and that finished up this quickie.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Make sure to check Terra's blog for all the winners, sponsors and rules.  Hope on over to Lisa's blog now and she what she has created.

Day 26 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Hello there!  Welcome to  Day 26.  Can you believe our hop is almost over.  I don't know whether to be thankful or sad.  I'm going to miss seeing all these wonderful projects daily.  I have followed most of the blogs so that I can keep up with my fellow Wicked Bloggers.

Today's offering is a card.  It's a bit different than most Halloween cards.  I did not use any Halloween papers or colors.

I used a Delicious Doodles image.  She's colored with Crayola colored pencils.  I printed four copies of the frame and did the same technique as on Day 10 with the Gothic Bride.  I used a piece of The Paper Studio patterned paper with tons of sea shells on it. I used an Inkadinkado stamp set called Coastal to stamp the row of sea shells on my torn piece of Kraft card stock.  It's stamped with Espresso Truffle ink.   I used an Inkadinkado sentiment stamped in Espresso Truffle from Memento.  I used two punches from the Paper Studio to die cut the sentiment.  Adding some gems on the sentiment and on the inside of the frame finished off this card.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope y'all are having fun along the hop.  Make sure to check in with Terra to see if you have won one of yesterday's prizes and to see the sponsors for today.

Don't forget to check out my giveaway post here.

I am going to enter this project into the Scrapbook Stamp Society challenge for this week.

Welcome to Day 25 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop sponsored by Smeared and Smudged.  Terra has been working her butt off on this hop and she deserves some love.  Make sure you stop by her blog..first one on the list and leave her some.

I want to apologize for the crappiness of the picture for today.  My camera decided to not work right so I had to use the web cam on my laptop.  I couldn't edit it at all.

I used a cute little zombie from Opal Manor to create this card.  I colored him with Crayola colored pencils and fussy cut him out.  I used some Spellbinders to make a place for him to rest.  The papers are from my stash and the card stock is Recollections and Colorbok.  I didn't add any embellies cause I wanted the little zombie to take center stage.

Thanks so much for stopping by my place today.  Make sure to head through the rest of the blogs today.  I hope to see y'all tomorrow for another Halloween project.

Don't forget to enter into my giveaway...see the Giveaway Post for all the information.
