Hero Arts 90 minute scramble Saturday Dec 6

The next 90 minute scramble is on Saturday December 6th at 2pm EST

So basically the way it works is the host will provide a theme and you have 90 minutes to post a creation made specifically for the challenge using a Hero Arts stamp.

(You will need to have a Flickr account set up and have 5 or 6 photos posted on your account a week or so before playing so your account is reviewed and approved by Flickr)

Please play along, I will be offering a little prize :) and would be happy to help any newbies (just let me know). You can see my Flickr account on the side bar of my blog if you want to check it out.

Hope to see you on Saturday!

Endless Possibilities

The majority of cards I make are more girly, so this one is a little out of the box.

Tried to keep it simple by using elements such as Hero Arts woodgrain

background, black & kraft.

This stamp set would be good for Movember too :)

I was able to play along in Theresa's 90 minute scramble today on the Hero Arts Flickr site. Her theme was Snow so I came up with these reindeer playing. Check out all the awesome entries found here.

Here's a link to the Event Time Announcer to figure out the time of the Scramble in your area

Well Christmas is in the air. I came across this sign on my way to One Crazy Stamper last weekend. Yes, Santa will be in the Caledon area Dec 6th lol the same day I will be hosting the Scramble!! :)

So if you are going to the parade you still have lots of time to get home for 2pm EST and play along over on Flickr!

I pulled over on the side of the road to take this picture when I saw the sign. Some guy driving was laughing (At me I guess) LOL!

Oh well at least I made him laugh?!?

TBT Christmas Ornament ATC

Original post found here.

Bibiana has one last Throw back Thursday until the new year and I wanted to share an ATC ornament

made a few years back.

This was part of a trade I made over at Swap-Bot. Wish I had made an extra one for myself but never had the time to complete that. So I thought I would make another today and show you how I did it with a little tutorial.

The supplies ...

Used a Hero Arts music background stamped with distress ink along with a cut out Angel ...

Back of the ornament stamped with a ATC ART stamp ....

added tinsel ribbon around the ATC with hot glue...

Cut the picket fence with wire cutters. The fence is from Dollarama our local dollar store. I found it in the Christmas display/village section of the store

Added a bell and hot glued the base of the atc to white cardstock then cut around the fence...

some music ...

Added Christmas carol text paper which has been distressed with Vintage Photo....

airbrushing with Copics ....

plus some stickles too.

Finished !

Merriest Christmas Wishes

Thanks for stopping by today. I made this little card for Lin's 90 minute scramble on the weekend over at the Hero Arts Flickr group. I had to leave at the start of the challenge and finally finished my card later that evening.

The branches of the wreath were made with a Martha Stewart punch and the little berries are tiny glitter balls from the dollar store. Made with Hero Arts cg377 Merriest Christmas Wishes set.

All is calm, all is bright

Thanks for stopping by. I try to craft after dinner every night whenever possible. Even if it's for 10 minutes I find it helps to de-stress, which is always a good thing :) So this tag was just a quickie made with scraps I already had cut.

Added the snowy hills to the tag, sewing stitches and lots of gems :) My sewing is done on a small Janome Sew Mini. I love using Coats Button Thread, its super thick and really stands out on paper crafting.

Super quick post today as I have the day off work and will be going out shortly for Java with a friend! I carved these pumpkins last night and used the Cricut Pumpkin Carving Cartridge to help create these fun faces :)

I've been wanting to make this card for awhile after seeing an awesome tutorial done by Chris over at Purple Lake Stamps found here.

Halloween Love!

Not too much crafting this weekend but I did manage to get one of my Kimmie stamps coloured. I hope to have the actual card made soon ! The bricks in the background were made using a W1 chisel point of a copic marker.

We went for a drive today and passed through Kilbride Ontario where there was this amazing house all dolled up for Halloween.

It was really done up from top to bottom the details were awesome!

A stop in Aberfoyle at their Antique market as today was the last its opened for the season.

hubby bought me this old toy....

I think it may be fun to use for paper crafting?!!

Thanks for peeking in :)

Celebrate with Style!

I made this card back a week ago for Arlene's 90 minute scramble over at the Hero Arts Flickr group. The challenge was to make a Fall or Spring Card and post with in 90 minutes. The wood grain background is a Hero Arts fave of mine and I think, a nice background for the wreath.

The wreath is made simply with a leaf punch and multi coloured card stock. I hand cut a circle/donut shape and glued the leaves and alternate the colours. I found Beacons 3 in 1 worked good as it's a quick drying glue
