Little Red Wagon #4

For this week's challenge at Little Red Wagon, Deanna challenged us to use buttons......the more the merrier!

I have quite a stash of buttons so this was a fairly easy challenge for me to find supplies for. The question for me was 'what am I going to do with buttons?' I decided to make a flower out of buttons as well as use one of the border embossing folders for the Cuttlebug.....also a button pattern.

I formed a circle of buttons for the base, added a larger button and adhered it with a super glue that works on plastic etc and then added a smaller button to the center to finish it off.

I added some trim and embossed the sentiment using Zing embossing powder.

I also submitted this card to the Card's Blog because their challenge this week was to use 5 or more buttons. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that it will be chosen as one of the featured cards.

Hockey Night!

Tonight is hockey night. These two teams are always fun to watch. London is one of our biggest rivals. Kitchener has a 2 point advantage over the Knights......will they be able to hold on to that?

My fingers are crossed. I am hoping for a safe but competitive game! Go Rangers!

Two Scrapbook Friends Online Crop!

Tonight we are running an online crop at Two Scrapbook Friends! Joanne and I posted a challenge together and we encouraged our scrapbook friends to 'punch it up' using punches on their creations.

I used a scalloped circle punch to create the trees and a Martha Stewart border punch. The decorations on the trees are new Bella Dots (the Mistletoe set). I love them. They sparkle and they have dimension.

If you want to try this out, just punch a couple of scalloped circles and then draw the lines as shown in the photo above. I included 7 bumps at the bottom of the triangle. Use your trimmer to cut along the lines.

Hope you find some time to give this a try!

Little Red Wagon #3

I am running a little behind with the Little Red Wagon challenge, but I say 'better late than never'! Karan challenged us to distress......go figure. She loves her blending tool and vintage photo ink. I love them too.

I created these 2 stockings and I inked the edges using vintage photo ink and the ink blending tool.


These stockings were cut using the new Very Merry Tag cartridge for the Cricut. I added strips of cardstock and punched circles to decorate each stocking I added a little piece of ribbon to finish them off.

I hope you stop over to the Little Red Wagon and challenge yourself.

Meet Ella!

I have just been loving the Copic markers and the Stamping Bella stamps. When I first started seeing cards that had been coloured with the markers I often saw images of people. I was not fond of them at all. Then I met Ella!

Isn't she beautiful? I attended a class last weekend and learned how to do the shading around images and also how to do faces. I just love her. The scallop along the top of the card is a Stamping Bella stamp too. It is another one of my favourites.

We did 6 images in total (I only did 3 of them) so I will post the others as I get them done.
