Slackers Merry Little Christmas~~Imagine~~

I really want to get more comfortable with my new imagine and thought that a easel card would do the trick!!!  I was on travel with my hubby and picked up the snow angel cart this last weekend and so love the images on this cartridge!!!  I used the layers and picked and chose what i thought looked like a snow scene!!!  Took some time getting the size down and cant wait for the download to correct a few of the features like cutting the layers to match the size!!!! grrrrr  I have to say that the intricate cuts do better on the imagine than the expression.  Maybe its the mat I don't know.  I bought the sentiment in a dollar bin last year at AC Moores and it seemed to fit the scene.  I can see many different cards that can be made from this cart and also using alot of the paper it can print with other cartridges I have!!!  Pop dots really help with the dimensions and inking seems to also!!!  More Imagine to come I guess!!!  Thanks for stopping by ....

**Angel tags for Santa's Slackers**

This week on our Santa Slackers challenge we were suppose to make tags up!!!  My time this week is limited due to travel with my husband.  I used the angel from Winter Frolic and some flowers I have in my stash with one of those little dollar stamps for  a sentiment.  I have the boy angel layout in my gypsy just didn't have the time to get it together!!!  Think I should spend next week doing this weeks challenge!!!!!!  Thanks for looking!

 

Jitterguggin Sketch 21 ~~YUMMY~~

For some reason when I saw this challenge I thought of Pumpkin Pie  but, why is that surprising I love food and especially *sweets*!!!!  I used a multitude of carts on the card:  Country Life, Speaking of Fall, Pooh Fonts.
A couple of embossing folders:  Sizzix and Cuttlebug ( I really need to mark the names of these on my folders)
The colors are not your typical fall colors but I thought they worked well together!!  

Thanks for taking a look and be sure to give Jitterbuggin a try this week!!!  http://jitterbugginchallenge.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Wow 8th week of Santa Slackers~~~~

My it is hard to believe that we have been making up xmas cards for 8 weeks on this fun challenge.  This week we decided to choose different bases (NO Sketch)  to make up a card.  So anything xmas will do!!  Mary at cardztv has a great utube video to watch with how to make an A2 size side step card.  Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC5OZMqQjps for anyone that would like great directions on how to do this!!!  I used the Winter Frolic Cartridge to make my card and the snowflake embossing folder from cuddlebug and the swirls also!!  The snow flakes are clear acetates that I picked up on clearance at the end of last season that i added a little bling to in the centers.    Hope some of you give this card a try it is soooooo much fun!!!  Any questions leave a comment I will be glad to get back to you!!!

Elmo meets the ~~ Imagine~~

I needed a 1st birthday card for a little boy and of course i thought of Elmo first!!!  He is timeless!!!  I wanted to try and use my new Imagine ( I am a little intimidated by her)  and so i looked thru the imagine more cartridge and thought that the balloons and the background with the clouds look nice with the background paper I had.  I still used my expression to cut Elmo because I am much more comfortable using the familiar.  I found the googly eyes at M's and they fit perfect for some dimension along with the nose  that is pearl like.    

I used my computer for the sentiment on the inside and outside of the card and did inking and chalking and some doodle stitching to complete my birthday wish for Zak111  I am sure that it is all me when it comes to using my Imagine and the more I play with it the more it will help me find a whole new world to my cards!!!  Thanks for looking!!!!
