Happy 2011 Everyone

I hope that you all had a healthy and happy holiday season. Now that the stress of Christmas is over, hopefully we all can get back to some fun and crafting.
I know it's been awhile since my last post, but one of my new year resolutions is to update my blog more than once every never!LOL
Stay tuned for my creative ideas and hopefully you are going to enjoy the new blog look.
Have a wonderful Monday everyone and take care...

Happy Nov. 15th - MOJO165

Hard to believe that November is now officially half over. Where is the time going? Since as many of you know my family is in Canada, so I have to start my Christmas shopping ASAP.
Of course this doesn't mean I don't take time out to create a card or two...

I made this simple card, not only for my design team committments at 2 Cute RubberStamps, but also for the weekly Mojo Monday challenge. I really wanted the image to stand out, so I kept the card pretty basic.
Hope you are all having a great Monday!
Take care - Jodie

The class fee is $25 and you will create 8 cards.
Please contact me at least 24 hours before the class so that I have time to prepare the kits.
Have a great Wednesday and I look forward to hearing from you.

Halloween is Almost Here - MOJO162

Good morning everyone,
I trust that you all had a great weekend. Mine was sort of busy, trying to get the house cleaned and organized for our company coming on the weekend. Rob's lifelong friend, John, is coming for the weekend, so needless to say I'll be a golf widow!LOL
Here is my latest creation using 2 Cute Rubber Stamps...

I thought I'd try doing a square card this time. The paper is from scraps that I had lying around, and of course I colored him in with Copic markers. The little gems in the corners are DewDrops and the saying is an AMuse rubberstamp. The main image is from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps, who just happen to be having a challenge going on. Definitely drop by and check it out. Heidi, the owner, offers a free digital stamp to use, so even if you don't have any of hers at the moment, you can still play along.
Also, this card is being used in another challenge for Mojo Monday. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Take care - Jodie

Challenge Time at 2 Cute Rubber Stamps

Hard to believe that we are about half way through October already! I also wanted to wish my family and all my Canadian friends a Happy Thanksgiving today! Here is the latest challenge from one of the companies that I'm on the Design Team for, 2 Cute Rubber Stamps...

So, everyone loves freebies and a good challenge- today we have both for you!

First, you can download your free digi stamp here!

Then, create something FAB and link it up at the bottom of the post!

It's that easy!

On Sunday the 31st- ONE of the entries will be randomly selected to win a

FREE rubber stamp from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps!

If the above link isn't working, simply go to 2 CuteRubberStamps blog and download the freebie image. Needless to say Heidi has outdone herself again with another super cute image. Here is my card, using said image...



I paperpieced the image (great thing about digital stamps, you just put the print paper in your printer and voila...super easy paperpiecing!) I then colored in parts of the images with my Copic markers, added ribbon, flowers, nailheads and punches, then stamped the saying on the front!



Hope everyone joins the challenge and has a wonderful Canadian Thanksgiving! LOL

Can't believe it's October!!!

I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't realized how long it had been since I posted. A good friend of mine, Jane, (Hi Jane!) said that she hadn't seen a post from me in awhile. Little did I know how LONG that while had been LOL.
Here is my creation for today...

The image is from 2Cute Rubber Stamps. Heidi is an amazing artist with very cute and versatile images.
The paper is from KaiserCraft, an Australin based company. I colored in the images with my Copic markers, and finally the embellishments are Dewdrops.
I hope you all have a wonderful day, and expect to hear from me more often. Oh and I have to post a picture of our lastest addition to our animal kingdom...

Her name is Aurora and she was found in a friend's garage at 5 weeks old. She's about 8 weeks old now and a BUNDLE of energy. Our other little treasures are tolerating her at the moment, both of our other cats are senior citizens and can't believe what this little firecracker is.
Aurora is the sweetest thing and she is a welcome addition to our family!

Insomnia

There is nothing like a bout of insomnia to get the old creative juices flowing! LOL. I hope everyone's week has started off well. It's 3:30am and of course I can't sleep, so I thought I'd post my entry into the 2CuteRubberStamps Challenge.

The nice thing about this challenge is that they offer you a free digi stamp to use, there's no need to go out and buy extra stuff, but of course once you see all these adorable images, you will HAVE to have them all! LOL
This little guy was colored in with Copic markers BV00, BV02, and BV04.

I then added a charm with a few pearl topped pins to the ribbon for added interest. I also used Stickles glitter glue on the top of the cupcake, because let's face it there's nothing that says cupcake, like sparkles!
Enjoy the rest of your day and don't forget to leave a comment or two, they are much appreciated!
