Starting on my Christmas Cards.....

Hi everyone, Thought I would share my first Christmas card for the season. It is one of the first suspended cards I learned how to make through taking Online Card Classes!! They are so much fun not to mention very informative!! If you want to learn a new technique or just brush up on some old ones these are the classes for you!! They have something for everyone!!! For me I can't wait for the next class to come out! I am really looking forward to it!

I sure hope you like it and thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful and very happy crafty day.

House Mouse Challenge

I am so sorry that I have been away for so long. I had a lot of family issues that I had to deal with. My oldest daughter was pregnant and kept ending up in the hospital due to blood clots in her legs and other very serious problems. We almost lost her and the baby a couple of times, But I am happy ,No proud to say that she and the baby are doing fine!! Then my mother-in-law past out fell and broke her ankle and tore joints  in her foot.
Now that things are slowly getting back to normal I am finding more to get into my craft room to craft. Which makes me happy and puts a smile on my face!
Today I made a card for the House Mouse Challenge HMFMC200. The challenge is to make a card with yellow,blue and white.  So the card that I made is called Biggly's Tow Service. I still need to practice a little more on my coloring but all in all I didn't think it turned out to bad. What do you think?

Well that's it for me for now. I am going to get back to my coloring!!!

Thanks for stopping by and having a look. I hope everyone has a wonderful crafty day.

Easter Challenge at Gerda Steiner Designs

Hi everyone, I thought that I would let you know what I was up to today. I have been in my craft room making a card for Gerda Steiner Designs Challenge for the month of March.
It actually took me several days just to figure out what color cardstock I wanted for the base of my card. Don't you hate when that happens or am I the only one that this happens to? Well I finally decided on Sea Otter by Coredinations Foundations. It's kind of a very light greenish gray color. It is really pretty in person. I colored the images with my Copic markers (Boy do I love them. I just wish I was better at coloring.). Then I  found a yellow with blue paper in my stash. Sorry I don't know from who because I have had this one for a very long time and the cover is missing. Then I finished off the card with some enamel dots by Teresa Collins.
  Gerda Steiner Designs has a wonderful program going on with her challenges. When you buy the digi image that is for the challenge of the month for the first time, as along as you enter the challenge you will receive your next month digi image for free and she will keep sending you the monthly digi images for free as long as you play in the challenges. Plus when you sign up to receive her newsletters she is always sending out other free digi images for you to print out and color. So it really is a win win and besides her digi images are really very adorable! Oh and she even has stamps that you can buy. They are excellent quality stamps and delivery is really fast!
Well now that I have bored you all. LOL I am going to go back to making some Easter cards for my grandchildren.
I hope you all have a wonderful and very crafty day.

Having A Little Fun......

Today while I'm not feeling very well, I still decided to get up and go into my craft room and do a little coloring. I took this cute little image from Gerda Steiner Designs. I thought that I would color him or her up (LOL) and enter the card into the January's Challenge. This image is called Dachshund In Love. I had fun color it up and it was nice that it was fast and simple to do since I am under the weather today. Well I am going to cut this short and go lay back down for awhile.
I hope everyone else is doing well and having lots of fun in their craft room.

Hugs,

Sabrina

5Th Day of Christmas

Here is my final card that I did for Christmas. Well major card anyways. I have to say this one I think is my absolute favorite. I just love the way it turned out. I know I'm not the best colorer in the world like some, (like Kristina Werner , Jennifer McGuire or Sandy Allnock just to name a few off the top of my head that I follow and get so much inspiration from.) but I do have to admit I am really proud of myself for this one. I think this is the best one I have colored yet with my Copics. what do you all think? did I do a have decent job?

This one is by Stampendous and is called Jumbo Dear Santa

4Th Day of Christmas

Today I colored a cute Snowman. I had so much fun coloring him. If I can't go to the snow at least I can color some snow pictures. LOL!! I sure hope you all like him as much as I do.

I am so sorry that I forgot to write down the colors that I used, but I did color him in Copics.
This darling image is by Inky Antics and doesn't have a name. You can also turn him into an ornament. How cute would that be. I just might have to do that in the next couple of days.
    My daughter is adjusting to being home but still can't do a whole lot of walking as it tires her out and her leg begins to swell. So she mainly stays on the couch with her legs up.
Well I have to get ready for an annual Christmas party so until tomorrow. Happy crafting to all.

Hugs,
Sabrina

3RD of Christmas

On the 3RD day of Christmas my true love sent to me Three French Hens. Not in this House anyways but I did make you all another card. Can you all guess what kind I made you today?
You guessed right another shaker card!! I couldn't resist. I was having so much fun with the first one that I thought why not this one two!

This card is by Stampendous and it is called Jolly Santa
Skin-E11,21,00,R20
Hat-R39,29,27,24

Holly -G17,14,12

I know it seems like a lot of different things inside of this shaker card, but this card is a big card.

On a good note today, My daughter is finally home from the hospital. Her children were so happy to see her and so was I. It was a little touch and go for a little bit there. She still has the blood clots in her leg but they are a little smaller now so she gets real tired real fast from walking and her leg looks real red still but at least it isn't as swollen as it was.

Well no I'm going to get back to making more cards and wrapping some presents.
till tomorrow have a very fun and crafty day. I know I will!

Hugs,
Sabrina

Tag for 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist-2014

Boy did I have lots of fun making this tag. I have always loved Kittie Caracciolo's style of everything she does, so it was a real easy choice for me to make when I had to decide whose  style I wanted to make a tag after. So here it is.

I will also be doing at least 5 cards for Christmas if not more. I am juggling a lot right now with my daughter in the hospital with blood clots in her legs and possibly one in her lung and taking care of her daughter. Of course my granddaughter Alexis has been a dream. She has really been very well behaved with manners I just can't believe. I want to know who has taken my granddaughter and replaced her because normally her manners are not all well lets just say she has them when she really wants something. LOL
Ok so I will go for now since Alexis is in school for the day I can finally get a few things done.
Thanks for listening to me rambling on.

Hugs,
Sabrina
