Mothers & Daughters Thursday
This week's challenge with the MDC DT was to use acetate. Here is what I came up with. I made this card more the shape of a tag, but the size of a card. I stamped on acetate using Stazon and colored with copics on the reverse side of the acetate. I added stickles to the "ice" underneath these adorable guys (Serendipity Stamps). The background pattern paper is by Best Creations. The glittery snowflake is a Christmas ornament from Michael's. Be sure to swing by the MDC Challenge blog to see all the great creations of the team or the individual team blogs here.
Also CHECK OUT THE DT CALL DETAILS HERE for the Mothers & Daughters Scrapbook team. The deadline is tomorrow so there is still some time to submit your work!
Well that's it for now. Don't forget about my little Cupcake BLOG candy HERE.

Unity Addicts Wednesday
She picked a HOPE challenge in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
H - Use a sentiment having to do with Hope
O - Put some ribbon ON your card - Pink!
P - Use something Pink!!
E - Embellish with something that starts with an "m" for Mammogram
Here is my version of the Hope Challenge. For mine I also used this week's CPS sketch, Unity was the sponsor this week. I started with SU Regal Rose and my pattern glitter paper and plain glitter paper is from a DCWV stack pack. I think I covered "HOPE" on my card. My something metal is the brad on the flower. It is metal and it's by Making Memories, so I think that counts. I heat embossed the quote in black and cut out the rectangles using my nestablities. The pink flowers I had in my stash, not sure who makes them but I'm pretty sure I picked them up at Michael's.
That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by.

Lauren's Weekly Sketch Challenge
Another week has passed and it's again time for another awesome sketch challenge by Lauren. Here is this week's awesome sketch. I wanted to use my cute dinosaurs by Queen Kat Designs so I pulled them out his week. I stamped them on pattern paper (Basic Grey Archaic). All my solids are by SU. The cute images seen in the little squares on bottom are from a sheet in the Basic Grey pack that I just cut out to find accordingly. I didn't have a sentiment for this so I printed it out on the computer and viola a sentiment all ready to go!
Be sure to swing by Lauren's Blog for her awesome creation and the rest of the Saturday Sketch Team blogs (all listed on my sidebar).
Taylor still has some BLOG CANDY going on through tonight at 9pm!!! RUN DON'T WALK to her blog because you won't want to miss out on this opportunity.
Have you heard Queen Kat is getting ready to celebrate a birthday on November 19, get ready for some fun. Keep your eyes peeled as I might start celebrating early...... :-)
That's all for now!! Happy Saturday!!!

Snowmen Choir
Check out this Snowmen Choir! This is an awesome set by Queen Kat Designs called Build a Snowman. I tried to make each of my snowmen different. This "tehcnique" is the Stair Step Fold which was the featured technique on SCS last week.
I used ballet Blue by SU and pattern papers by DCWV. The glitter snowflake is actually a Christmas ornament I had in my stash and the snowflake in the middle is an already made embellishment for scrapbooking (source unknown).
There is alot of posting going on in the Queen Kat Gallery as the DT is having a "posting" challenge. Check it out HERE for some awesome inspiration.
That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by.
Monday Challenge - MDC Scrapbook Team
I started by covering the frame in a plain black paper. The pattern papers I added are by My Little Yellow Bicycle. Check out that great pumpkin in the lower right, that's by Serendipity Stamps and to the leaves I added stickles.
Well that's all for now folks. Thanks for stopping by!

Fun with "Shorties?"
Here is my trio of Snowman fun with shorties. I used the Queen Kat set called Build a Snowman. I started with my little square in white and I added some DCWV patterned paper to it. Then I added the images. On the little hat I used red flock to make it "fuzzy" I used stickles on the snowman.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch Challenges
Here is Lauren's Sketch challenge for this Saturday. Pretty basic and simple and you know how beautiful Lauren does simple. I decided that I wanted to use my Queen Kat Designs stamps for the sketch challenge so this is what I came up with, not so much simple and elegant as Lauren's card, but I thought it still worked ok.
Be sure to swing by the blogs of the other Saturday Sketch girls (links listed on my side bar) as I'm sure they will have some super fun creations to share.
This second creation was for this past week's sketch challenge at SCS. The images are also by Queen Kat Designs.
Sorry for the quick post today but I have lots to do.
Thanks for stopping by!

Mothers & Daughters Creations DT CALL
Unity Challenge Wednesday
First off here is my masculine themed card using the Unity Kit called "A Dad of All Kinds".
I paper pieced the title and the chair for this. I think this came out somewhat simple I was not sure if I really cared for it. I do find it a challenge to make masculine cards for sure.
I had an issue with my blog and lost some links. I have to redo the links to the Unity challenge girls but Anglea of Unity was so kind as to have our links on her blog. Check it out here.
Now for the second challenge as for my man making a card. WELL.... that didn't go over with the DH. To be honest it's better he stays away from my stamping stuff anyhow! LOLOL! SOOOOO..... here is what I have for the "man" challenge for you....
This is my 2 year old "stamping". Both my cuties love to get into my stuff and "make a stamp" as they call it. TOO CUTE...
Yes this is a Unity Stamp from The Boo Crew and it's on a Unity Block. So I attempted the challenge with my main man in my life! Does that count toward the challenge?
Well that's all I have for now....
Thanks for stopping by.
Till Later.....

MDC Scrapbook DT Challenge
Today is the first challenge for the Mothers & Daughters Scrapbook Design Team. I am very excited to be a part of the charter team to get this started.
Our first challenge was to make a Halloween page based on a sketch. Here is the sketch:
Here is my take on this sketch:
I started with SU Eggplant Envy as my base. (This is an 8x8 scrapbook page.) The orange pattern paper is by Best Creation and the purple is by My Little Yellow Bicycle. I used my Fiskars pumpkin punch to punch out the embellishments. My half circles under the photo where cut using the scalloped circle nesties. To create the title I just typed it up on the computer and printed it on white cardstock.
Be sure to hop on over to the MDC Challenge blog to see what the other DT members came up with, I'm sure they will have some amazing Halloween pages!
I hope that you will like to play along with this great sketch challenge. MDC is offering wonderful prize this week. You can have the chance to win MDC's line of My Little Bicycle Papers and a stick pack. If you play along and post to SCS pls use keyword: MDCSB1 and link your creation back to the MDC Challenge Blog.
Would you like to be a part of the MDC team? A DT call is underway. Check THIS link for all the awesome details!
Well that's all for now!

Saturday means it's time for a sketch...
I decided to pull out these great "friendly" ghosts from Serendipity for this sketch. Yes I know I've been doing alot of Halloween cards but heck it's October and I have these awesome stamps so....
Here is my take on the sketch. I embossed the ghosts in black and cut them out. I created layers using these awesome pattern papers by My Little Yellow Bicycle and the purple background one with the bats is by Debbie Mumm.
Well that's all for now.

Challenge Thursday with MDC & News
It's Thursday and that means another fun challenge with Mothers & Daughters Creations. Linda is our hostess with the mostess this month and this week she picked a Halloween Treat Box for us to make.
I will admit I did not make this box. I have a bunch of wedding favor boxes on hand that work perfectly! I covered the box in basic black then added some fun Halloween pattern papers by My Little Yellow Bicycle. I stamped the spooky house image and colored with copics, then cut it out. I added Stickles to the door and windows (sorry the picture does not do that justice). Of course I had to add a Halloween goodie in the box so I put some candy corn.
ETA: If you play along this week with the MDC challenge you have a chance to win a super cool stamp set by Basic Grey. CHECK HERE!
Now for my super fun NEWS FLASH.... Have you heard? Mothers & Daughters Creations has started a Scrapbooking DT! OH YEAH, and I get to be a charter member! WOO HOO! Check out the announcement here! Would you like to be a part of the MDC Design team?? The call for the scrapbook team is coming next week, be sure to check out the first scrapbook challenge on Monday. I will definitely post my creation here and all the creations for the Design Team will be posted on the challenge blog.
Well folks, that's all for now....
