Hello everyone.. Wow we have come to the start of a new week.. And soo it's time for another Monday Fun-day with the Farm Fresh Challenge. And what a challenge it is.. This week our Lovely and talented Joni is our Hostess with the Mostes. Our Challenge this week is "No Embellishment".. Say it ain't soo!!.. I could not   imagine doing a card with out any embellishment... and I still don't think DID.. lol unless my "flower that I made from some scrap paper can really count as an embellishment?? I would say NO hehehehe.
I used my New Cheeky Collection "Glamour".. I think she is just "glamorous.. isn't she.. I have all but 3 of the entire Cheeky Collection..  I went with a little different technique this week and stamped on "Kraft card stock" and used the Black and White technique.. With only using my Black and White Prisma Pencils. I first saw a "tutorial" on this over on the GF blog.. and I loved it. I have tried it several times, and I do really like it.

I used this week's "The Sweetest Thing" sketch. My card stock if Kraft. I really don't remember what brand the DP is. I have it for over a year now.Sentiment is from "clear Stamp". Scallop board punch is from Stampnup. and again I did use my small flower punch to make the flowers.

12 Days of Christmas Day 1 (a day late)

 Hello everyone.. I finally had a day to my self. (and it was Wonderful..The house was still full and on top of that we have family over still as I am posting this. But I just worked right thru it :0)). I am still working on my Christmas cards.So I wanted to get caught up with my 12 Days of Christmas Cards series.. I did not get a chance to post my Day one card..

I just love La La Land Carft stamps.. Marci and Luka are just the cutest.. So when I saw "Angel Marci". I knew that I wanted her to use for my cards. She is just soo BEAUTIFUL..don't you agree??? She comes in both "Rubber" and Digi.. She is a  "digi"!!!

 I colored her up with my Prisma Pencils..and my Skaura Star dust pen. Her wings and Halo are just too cute to me. so I added star dust to those as well..

 Was soo Happy to get my PTI package in the mail today.. I ran out of some of my Holiday card stock colors and did not want to make a trip to Michael's.. Where as for my Card stock basis... Nothings better than PTI. So when I got my package it saved me from going out and I was able to try out my new Stamp set. My card is measured at 5 x 4 1/4. DP is what I got at the end of last year from "Michael's. Deja Views12 x 12 paper pack.. I got it in a grab bag for $2.00 with some other GREAT items....It's Deja Veiws "Fair Isle Christmas" I just love the paper and because it had soo much going on already..   I did not want to add any thing extra.. So I just added some "Flourish Swirls from Reflection .. (those I did get from Michael's) and added two snow flakes.

Farm Fresh Friday #9 and Day 2

Hello everyone.. Well as we all know it's December 2, WOW!! only 23 more days until Christmas.. I said that I would start off the month with my own "12 days of Christmas" post.. but as usual I am " a day late and a dollar shot".. (Meaning that I am always running behind.. So please don't be fooled by the "Post". This card is meant to be day 2 of my 12 day posting.
As you can see I combine  two challenges. As it is Friday and that means that it is time for our FFF SPY Day challenge. And it's my week to host the challenge.. I scanned the SCS gallery and came across a very sweet layout, and so I knew that I wanted to use it.

Jacqueline

I just love the colors on this card.

For my Image I used W.S. ViVi She is such a cute little elf. As you can see she is hard at work getting all the gifts ready for "you know who"..  I thought she would look so beautiful with "green" hair. 

Here is my card I used DP from Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas.. I really love this paper pack and I am going to use it for a lot of my cards.I made my a 5x 51/2 card so that I can have enough room for my square pattern. The Sentiment is from the "Clear Christmas" set.. My little ornament if from "Reflection" from Micheal's.  Now you know I had to add my "stickles and sparkle to Ms. ViVi.. So for her fur and stockings I added lots of  Stickles. For her bell I used my Sakura Star dust pen. And I finished it off with some Liquid Pearls from Ranger.. I started off  "paper piercing"  around the edges but changed my mind..so that's why the top few are a little smudge. :0).

 I know that we all still have some "Holiday" cards to finish up or may be something just for fun, either way I would love for you all to play along.. You will have One week to add your "link to Mr. Linky at the bottom of the post on the FFC blog Or you can add your project to TGF gallery or to SCC using the "keyword" TGFFF09.
