Last one for today! Another 365 cards challenge. Half and half - half embossed, half sponged. I've never really used the sponge technique before, it didn't turn out very well, I only had a few chalky colours to work with so I'll have to try it again another time! Shapes are from Once Upon a Princess.

Another 365 Cards challenge!
Another challenge from 365 Cards! The goal was to create a card using a Sticker, Ribbon and Masking technique - SRM for SRM stickers, the sponsor for this weeks challenges.
Martha Stewart dimensional cupcake sticker, used smooches spritz to spray over a heart mask (I will be using this technique again.. soo pretty!), random ribbon, and, of course, scrap paper!

Super Sketchy Sunday
This is for the super sketchy challenge over at 365 cards, you can check out the sketch by clicking on the link. The card is actually only 3.5x2.75 inches, kind of cute! You can't see in the picture but the orange paper is very distressed, I went a little overboard on the sanding I think! K&co paper and embellies, stamp sentiment is Studio G. This card isn't particularly one of my best, I'm trying to keep the next few small and simple to include in a little gift pack - will post a pic of the set when its done!
Snow day!
Weather is horrid here today, lots of snow! I decided not to brave the roads and stayed home. Made a few cards, I'll post those separately later (for challenges), right now I'll just play catch up.. which won't take long :( Not enough time to make cards lately!!
Still trying to use up some little scraps I have laying around. My goal is to go through my scrap pile and throw out/donate all those little pieces of paper I know I won't use!

This card was made for a Valentine's card swap on a coupon site I belong to. I FINALLY used last years Valentine's cart for the word Valentine and the adorable zebra heart! Swiss dot paper for some added interest, and Martha Stewart pearls.
This card is for a good friends birthday, I used a bunch of yellow embellies I had lying around, I just love the felt pieces! Need to use them more.
Sorry about the Christmas cards.... and the crappy photo!! Used the Winter Frolic cart for these. The cuts are just too adorable!
Used a new stamp from M's for this, as well as scrap paper and some K&co stickers, Dollarama pearl bling.
Same supplies as above, however I used this special gloss that crackles as it dries (can't remember the name right now..), it looks sooo cool! I also traced around the letters with a black pen, I saw this in a magazine the other day and thought it looked pretty cool!

Olivia Scrap Cards
I made all these cute little cards using scraps from Basic Grey's Olivia collection. I only bought 3 double-sided papers from the collection, and cut off 8x12 sections to use for another project. Using the 4x12 pieces left and half a sheet of Core'dinations i found in my scrap bin, I made these! Love them! I also used 3 new stamps I'd never used before, 2 are sentiment stamps from Michaels, the other is a cute Bella stamp! Ribbon is from Dollarama, pearl bling is Martha Stewart and I also used my Spicas to add some sparkle. Ovals are all from the Mothers Day cartridge.

Nursery Wall Quote
This is a quote I did up for my best friends daughter's room. It turned out quite well, I think! It was soo easy to do, especially since I used the transfer tape! The sentiment goes perfectly, as her room is Tinkerbell themed!
'Tis the Season!
I haven't posted in sooo long! I've been ridiculously busy with work. I've had most of these cards made for ages but haven't had time to post! All of the papers are Echo Park, such a cute new line! The bright papers are from "Everybody Loves Christmas", and the more subdued are "Wintertime." Uggh I just love them both!
Love these stamps! They say "Merry Christmas to you and your (check one): Husband, Wife, Domestic Partner, Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Singles Club, Best Friend, Dog, Cat" So cute! I used From My Kitchen for the aprons, Joys of the Season for the mittens.
Aren't these ornaments sweet? I decided to use my Peachykeen faces on a ton of my cards... they are just so playful and cheery, they are perfect for some fun cards! The ornament is from Joys of the Season, the martini from From my Kitchen.
I LOVE this stamp.. but the sentiment doesn't really go with much... I had a bright idea to use this on my Christmas cards! Kinda cute, dont' you think? The heart is from Doodlecharms.
Yayyy more faces! Snowflake is Joys of the Season, and snowman is Doodlecharms. Oh, the adorable sentiment, "Winter Wishes" I got free with the November/December issue of Papercrafts mag. Soo soo cute!
Cute little gingerbread man! He's from From my Kitchen. The sentiment, again, so cute! "Candycane wishes and gingerbread hugs" how sweet!
Here he is close up... He is just so cute!
These last two are really plain and simple. Doesn't the girl figure make such a chique, stylish card? I made it at a free make-n-take at my LSS. Soo cute! I kinda want to get the Quickutz fashion doll set now... trying to be a good girl and not order any new craft stuff til after Christmas!
Have about 25 more cards to make.. a friend of mine asked me to make her some and I will happily oblige! After that, I am going to get started on a quote to put above my bed. I just got new furniture so I'm trying to get everything all
fixed up!
