Quick card

Hello my friends!! 

So I had my work Christmas party/meeting last night.  The ugly sweater one, well I am happy to report that although my branch didn't win the "team" ugly sweater, I won the female with the ugliest sweater.  There were 90+ people at the party with the majority of them women, and I won.  So excited.  :-) 

I will be sharing a picture later.  We took a lot of pictures at the party but I don't think you can really see our shirts.  I might have to put it back on and take a picture so you can all see.  

Now today I have to go to another Christmas party for work but this is just for our branch.  So there will be 10 or so of us going to lunch/dinner at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant.  Totally excited.  We will be exchanging secret Santa gifts and I didn't have a card so I whipped one together really quick.  I think it took me about 30 minutes to make and that was only because of the time it took to cut out all the pieces with my Silhouette. 

Thanks to my Silhouette I came up with this....

I used cardstock on this card.  The belt is black felt and the buckle was embossed with silver embossing powder. I used some gems for the eyes that I colored black with a marker and a gem for him nose.  The beard, and hat have liquid applique on it.  LOVE that stuff.  

So I am going to watch a lil football and then get ready to PAR-TAY!! LOL!!  

 

Thank you

Good Morning my friends!! So we got a little bit of snow last night, wet slick snow. I HATE it!! We had some really awesome weather last week and I totally thought it was going to start warming up. Oh well, this will be last winter to see snow so I will be ok. LOL!!

Today I have the whole day off.....what to do first? Well right now I am enjoying a yummy cup o' joe while I type up this post (and of course listen to my children fight). Hmmm, maybe clean a little, scrap a little, laundry/dishes, craft a little, grocery shopping, scrap a little, make some dinner......oh poop I forgot I have two take home tests to finish by Thursday. Scratch those plans.......a little homework, craft a little, cleaning, homework, craft a little........scratch that, I am crafting ALL DAY!!! LOL, I wish.....I will probably do a little mix of everything. haha!! Darn responsibilities always get in the way of my fun!!

Anywho, I have a fantabulous card to share with you today. I was super excited about making this card. I saw a tutorial on Jennifer McGuire's blog on using Pink Paislee's Mist-a-bles. Oh, that's right there is some of that in our February kit, YAAAHOOOOO!!!



So I got to work. I used the smallest scallop trim and I used my Papertrey Ink ink pad to color it. Now Jennifer used Mister Huey's mists and that would have been easy too but I didn't have any color mist that I wanted to use and I wanted the color to match the cardstock included in the kit. Oh my it matched perfectly. :-) The only thing on the card not from the February kit is the rhinestones but those are from the January kit.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the "thank you" sentiment and the card base. The flower was colored with Raspberry Fizz and Ripe Avacado ink from PTI.

Alright well I will pick a winner of my giveaway later tonight and post that tomorrow with another amazing project using our February scrapbook kit.
