It's Friday!

WaaaHoo!! It is Friday! I am so happy to have a weekend that will be somewhat relaxing. The kids are out of school today so we are all hanging out.

I desperately need to clean my craft room up. It has so many piles upon piles that even I am having trouble finding things...(giggles). you know it is bad when I think so too.



HEHEEEEEE!!

So I am hoping to clean...just a little. Then I need to get back to creating. I have some serious ideas in my head that are just dying to escape. You know you DO NOT deny the MOJO!! I wish I could bottle this stuff (MOJO) so when I am low I could just sprinkle it on like fairy dust.

In other news we are gearing up for some fun over at the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. Don't forget that the Festival of Lights will be starting Wednesday Nov. 18th!!


I also want to say that I have seen some really amazing creations lately on some fellow crafters blogs......

Check them out!

It is Wednesday!!

Good morning!! Today is Wednesday! YAY!!

Today I have a few cards to share with you. The inspiration was a sketch done by our very own talented designer Cindy. We will be sending our cards to Operation write home. For more information on this wonderful group check it out here..http://operationwritehome.org

Alright onto the challenge....To see the great sketch and play along hop on by the Cuttlebug Challenge blog.

This is the card I will be sending. It is a flat card..one of the requirements and for me was harder than I thought. I kept wanting to add buttons and bling...*giggles*

So Here is the Buttons and bling card too....I actually created this one first, before I knew it had to be flat.

I had a lot of fun stringing these glass beads onto the card. And as you can see lately by my cards...I just LOVE snowmen!! They make me happy...(big grin)

So what is your favorite holiday image? I would love to know...

Hope you have a chance to stop by the Cuttlebug Challenge blog to see the rest of the design teams cards.

Till next time Happy craftin', Jenn K

Copic Color Challenge

Hello...today I have a card to share with you I created for Copic Color Challenge. Here are the inspiration colors for this challenge.....

And here is my card.


I used a stamp by Magnolia. I colored him in with my Copics of course. The paper is by Me & My big ideas. The inside reads Warm Winter Wishes.

Sorry for the picture quality. I just couldn't seem to get a clear shot of this....

Alright...Tomorrow is the Wednesday Inspiration. Come back and take a look at what I did with the sketch we had to use.

Have a great day! Jenn K

Happy Birthday Honey!!

Today is my Hubby's birthday. I baked him some brownies and we will be having tacos for dinner tonight...his favorite.

Nothing too fancy..Just brownies with powdered sugar...the way he likes them.

MMMM!! Tacos...

I also have a holiday card to share. I created this one using one of my all time favorite snowman stamps. This stamp is produced by Stampassions...Fun! I just Love all Snowmen...they melt my heart...

I colored the image in with my Copics...Love them too. The card base is by My Minds Eye.

Don't forget that I will be back on Wednesday to share my card I created using the sketch for this week. I actually created 2 different cards. Here is a sneak peek of 1....


Also We will be celebrating over on the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog soon. Join us for a blog hop and lot's of inspiration!!

What a day...

Wow! What a day we had today. My alarm went off at 7 this morning.....I didn't want to get out off bed yet. Not on a Saturday.....but the day was beginning.

Todays events consisted of 2 football games and a piano recital. In black and white when I read this I think awe that's not too bad. Boy oh boy during the moments...my head was spinning.

So off we went at 10 after 9 to have pictures taken of the football team and warm up for the game. The game started at 10:30 this morning. It was an exciting game. we lost but our boys have heart. They didn't give up. The game was finally over at about 12:20 this afternoon. Not too bad except I had to have Jacob showered and to his piano recital by 12:45...Time was going fast.



We dashed home, Jacob got his shower grabbed a quick bite to eat then we were off to piano. The recital was great. Jacob played well. We mingled a few minutes after the recital then it was off again.



We dashed home again to get Jacob's football gear back on and off to game 2 we went. Lucky for us the games were running a little late so we got there in plenty of time. YAY!

Our boys played hard. They played a good game but we couldn't take em'.



WOW...what a day...what a day. We survived, but I am ready to rest.

I couldn't have asked for better weather for all of this though...FANTASTIC! I cannot believe it is November with weather like this today.

I hope your Saturday was great. I will be back with some Holiday cards I have been working on soon. Plus my Wednesday inspiration with the Cuttlebug Challenge. This week we have a great sketch to work with. Be sure to come back and check it all out.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Cuttlebug Inspiration Wednesday

Hello...hope all is well.

My kids have been sick with sinus and eye infections. They are both on antibiotics now and doing much better. YAY! That makes momma happy.

Well, on to today's inspiration. We are so fortunate to have Teresa Collins and Jamie Harper as our guest designers today! So cool!!

The design team also received some fun Teresa Collins products to play with....Great Fun!!

I decided to create a mini album. I love the way it turned out. I didn't follow the kit instructions to a T but, instead made it my own creation. I love how it all coordinates so well and helps tell your story of gratitude.

Here is my album...



Here I used the Houndstooth Cuttlebug embossing folder on some red cardstock.


Here I used the Journaling Card Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the background for my Title.


I used some metal rings to bind my album. I love all the folders and envelopes this little album has. As well as the theme of being grateful. So wonderful and inspiring on its own.
I created the paperclips to hold the envelopes closed. So easy just take a paperclip of any size. I used the Jumbo size for my project. Then I cut paper of the same size and attached them together over the end of the paperclip. You can also fold a piece of paper over the end of the paperclip and attach. Quick and easy.

I hope you take some time to visit the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. I am sure the rest of the design team will have some great projects to share with you. And don't forget Teresa Collins and Jamie Harper are guest designing for us. They are sure to knock the socks off all of us.

Till next time Happy Craftin' and thanks for stopping by, Jenn K
