Bond Girl Bliss

Raspberry Suite Sketch

Two in one baby!!! 

 

This is my first Dawn McVey colour challenge and have wanted to do it for some time now but you know...life takes over...so I did the SCS sketch for today along with it!   I have been playing with my Copics a lot since my Loonie trip as Dee and Reg taught me a few things.  They took a colouring class at Stamping Bella's store and they rock at colouring.  I wish now I would of coloured her on white but I wanted to see what Kraft looked like!  I love the new CC Design girls, they remind me of my daughter!

Ciao!

Stamps:  CC Designs Apple Emma, Autumn Sentiments, bench

Paper:  chocolate chip, baja breeze, riding hood red, kraft, K&Company dp

Thursday already?

Wow, this week is flying by but that is good as it means only 6 more sleeps till me and my Loonies hook up in Delaware.  Can't wait!

So, I noticed yesterday my Mojo Monday card didn't post as I pushed draft not publish....oops!  So I am just going to add it today along with SCS Wednesday sketch.

I LOVE SHOES!  If I had the money, I swear I would be like Imelda Marcos and have more shoes that craft stuff, yes, I said that!  But unfortunately I only have as many as Carrie Bradshaw!  So when I saw the new set from Verve I knew it was calling my name.  But after I finshed this card, I wanted more of a 'YES' when it was done and I didn't feel that, I think it needed brighter colours!  Doesn't matter, the shoes still rock!

This one is for Splitcoast's sketch for this week.  I haven't been participating over there like I use to so I thought why not! 

I had a few birthdays again this month so this one is for Sara!  If you are reading this girl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  It will be in your mailbox soon! I hadn't used the monkey yet from Taylored Expressions Beary Special and I thought he would be perfect for this.  

Everyone have a great Thursday.  See you tomorrow for our Loonie Friday!

Ciao!

SCS & SNOW!?!?!?!

I was able to get some time in my card room last night for a couple of reasons.  First, Joely was at her Dad's and my hubby was watching the Flames game so no one needed any 'Wendy' time!  Second, who would want to go out in this......

It snowed all night long and we woke up to snow covered streets and lawns again!   The day before it was 23 degree's here (for you Yanks that is about 80 I think) .  Damn Global warming and on Earth day too!  Jen, that house swamping sounds more and more like a good idea!!! 

Anyway, maybe the snow was a good thing because then I didn't feel guilty about not getting outside and doing yard work!  

So I was able to do the SCS sketch for Wednesday and it was fun!   I love these new Bella Ketto's, they are so much fun to work with!  I love to do the paper piecing with them! 

Well, I best get ready for work.  I am sure the drive in will be crap!  I really should of brought my laptop home then I could of worked from home and hung out with you guys!   Next snow day...which will happen here in Alberta a couple more times!  May long is coming soon and it always snows on our annual camping trip! 

Have a great day!

Ciao!

Supplies: 

Stamps:  Bella's Missmatch Ketto

Sketch's Rock!

I am a sketch girl!  I love doing them and making them work!  I can't just sit and make a card, well I can but it takes me forever.  At least with a sketch I am done within 2 hours...wicked hey!  I know, but you just can't rush perfection!  Yah, I know, enough already!  LOL

I really liked this sketch, simple yet WOW when it was completed. 

My shipment from Stamping Bella came in so I was able to use some new stuff.  They have such great stuff over there at Em's store, you should check it out! 

At first I wasn't sure about the Ketto's but you have to see and use them and I know you will fall in love with them! 

Have a great day! 

Ciao!

A little SCS something for Jen!

Jen Tapler is one of my favorite card makers and bloggers!  She is super nice, sweet, makes amazing things and lives in Maui! I had to add that only because I am picturing palm tree's, Mai Tai's, luau's and beaches while I look at my snow covered yard!  And I love what she does with Verve stamps and drool over her designs on a daily basis.

Then when I saw her blog candy I knew I had to go for it.  But even more than just free stuff, she is doing something for a cause that is dear to my heart as well, Alzheimer's.  My MIL suffers from it and is also in the late stages. It breaks my heart when we see her but more for my DH as I came into the picture in the middle of her disease so I didn't get to know her when she was vibrant, loving and caring.  When I saw what Jen was doing to raise money and awareness for the disease, in honour of her father, I knew this was something I wanted to take part in. 

So I took advantage of the sketch over at SCS today and whipped up a little somein' somein' for Jen!  I think this is the first time I have ever mailed something to Hawaii but I am sure it won't be the last! Thanks Jen, you are a sweetheart!

I don't know about you guys but do you ever finish a card and go 'now that is what I am talking about!' Well, I did it with this one and I hope you feel the same way.  Yes, I am patting myself on the back right now!  Well done Bond, well done!  

Ciao!

Urban Vervie Floral!

2 SLEEPS!!!! 

That is all I have to wait till my love, my life, my obsession, my 'cougar bait' comes to my Blue Ray Player!!!! That's right, Edward is coming home baby!   And he is all mine....MINE I SAID, for a whole weekend! Aaaahhhh.....oh sorry, right, my card!!   I kind of needed a moment! 

Ok, this was for SCS sketch today! LOVE IT!  But I love a lot of panels on a card to give it more detail and this one was fun!   I had alot of options for paper but I went for my favorite right now, the Urban Oasis DP from SU and the Fifth Avenue Floral set.  I am not really much for big flowers but I love this set!

 

I also got my new Verve stamps in the mail today so I decided to use a sentiment from those as you can't beat their sentiments! 

Ok, off to get ready for bed! Life if perfect....the Flames won, LOST and AI was wicked, Joely comes home tomorrow, we are having dinner with my BFF Char and her man on Saturday (Thai, yummy) and Edward is almost here!  What more could you ask for...ok, 1 million dollars but hell, things are going so well, I might win the lotto yet!

Ciao Bellas! 

2 4 U!

Yes, two challenges in one card!

This was for the sketch and colour challenge over at Splitcoast.  Now I figured the sketch would be a peice of cake but once I got those smaller panels on it, I was lost after that.  So I took out every SU stamp set knowing I would have something that I could punch out with my square punch and put it in those little windows!!!!  NADA.....I had two things and didn't like either of them!  So my half hour card (yes, I was being hopeful) took LOST and American Idol to complete.

I need to start using more of my embellishments on my cards so I threw a bit of everything on this one, Primas, Thickers, brads.  But it is still missing something...I can't put my finger on it.  Or maybe just not enough layers....I don't know.  I am very indecisive these days.   I need a vacation...or to win the lotto to clear my head and get back on track!  LOL 

Thanks for coming to visit and I hope everyone has a cold snowy day like we are having....WHAT?  I don't want us to be the only ones getting it!!!!  LOL 

Ciao!

Supplies:

Stamps:   A Little Somethin'

Paper:  Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, Hawaii Payaya DP

Stuff:  Prima flowers, white brads, square punches, Thickers 

Colour & a Sketch for SCS!

I was able to do both challenges over at SCS, the colour and sketch.  I was so excited to see perfect plum on the list.  I don't use it alot, but I love the colour...don't I Loonie's!

 I was also able to use one of my new SU sets, Good Friend....Love it and the DP that goes with it but that will be for another card and time. 

I don't know what I am going to do without Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirouette! I love these two so much, but I did say that about Cool Caribbean and River Rock.  I have so much of those, I don't know what to do with it.  So I have a feeling I may feel the same about these two!  But I will stock up just the same just in case!   I wonder what colours they will come out with for the 2009 In-Colours? 

I am not sure the sentiment I used goes well with this but it's too late now!  LOL 

Ok, I am off to watch LOST!!!  Trust me, I am lost this season...to much going on!  

Ciao!  

Two Challenges in One!

Happy Friday to you all!

I completed this card tonight in record time...under one hour!  I am getting so good!  LOL 

I love this new DP called Frosty Days!  I didn't at first and wondered could this be at all festive, but now that I see my completed card with stamps, I love it!  It has such vibrant colour!  I can't wait to make more cards with it.

I made this card for Wednesdays sketch and Fridays limited supplies challenge over at Splitcoast.  Both of them worked well together.  I hope to do more challenges this weekend as I don't really have much to do other than laundry, housecleaning, yard work, homework with Joely, dye my hair, make dinner for 15....nothing really!   

Ciao!
