Snowboarder Ryan

Hello my friends, I hope you all had an eventful weekend. We sure did, we had our Annual Christmas Light parade, 2 birthday parties, and alot of Christmas baking. One of the parties my oldest daughter was invited to was for a boy so i had to come up with a card for a tween boy. Now boy cards are NOT one of my strong points, but i really enjoyed making this one and i must say i really liked how it turned out. I used the Snowboarder Ryan image from The Character Cafe, I soooo Love their images. Well, that's it for now, i thank you so much for stopping by. You all have a fabulous day!!!

12 Days of Christmas Blog hop with TCC

~On the 5th hop of Christmas TCC gave to me~ 5 Bits of Bling~

Hello my friends, It's blog hop time with The Character Cafe. The theme for this month's New image release blog hop is "The 12 Days of Christmas", and believe me, you don't want to miss this Blog Candy!! (includes a copic airbrush system) for the full details you must begin at The Character Cafe Store. If you have already started the blog hop and have come by way of Kendra & Kelly's fabulous blog then you are in the right place. :0) The digi image i used on my box is the Poinsetta. I LOVE poinsetta's so i was ecstatic to work with it.

I used the Top Note Box tutorial that i got from none other than Maria Bell's Blog. I did add a little strap with an antique brad to the front of the box that closes with velcro, just for an added touch. I printed out two poinsetta images and cut the leaves off one and added it to the top of the other image with a foam dot. I tried to curl up the leaves and petals so they wouldn't seem so flat. I added some gold stickles to the center for some Bling. I embossed my sentiment with some gold detail embossing powder to give it a little more elegance. I really like the way it turned out, i will definately be making more of these. You also have a chance at winning the Poinsetta image just by leaving me a comment on this post. I am going to send you on your way now to go check out Billie's fabulous creation, i'm sure she is anxiously awaiting your arrival. Thank you so much for visiting me today!!! :0)

Today i am going to show you three of the new releases.This is Patriotic Duckie, this duckie is sooo adorable! everytime i look at a duckie i instantly think baby, and this card was no different. because duckie is wearing a patriotic hat i made this card for a baby being born in July. I hear alot of people call their kids their little firecracker and i don't know if that is for all july babies or only the one's born on the 4th of July, but i changed it up a bit to read lil' fireQuacker. Lol~ Next i made a little gift basket and used the Gingerbread Girl and Gingerbread Boy images. aren't they just the cutest? I think i will be using them on quite a few of my tags to put on some homemade goodies. Now you have a chance to win some of these fabulous images. all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and on Friday i will randomly select a name from the commenters to win one image of the winner's choice from the Busy Beauties boutique. so remember the more comments you leave on each beauties blog the more chances you have to win. there will also be one grand prize winner who will be able to choose 3 images of the winner's choice, to qualify you must leave a little love on each beautie's blog in the hop. Well, i think i've kept you here long enough. I know Catherine is Excited to show you her fabulous Creations. Just in case you happen to hit a snag i have the blog hop order listed below.
