Using up my scraps!!!!

Does anyone but me have small bits and papers laying all over there work space or are you like those videos that are all organized?????  I had all those different papers that I wanted to use up so I took out Simply Charmed and Create a Critter and made this little xmas card!!! The present is made with a sizzix die cut that I got on clearance at M's for $1.49.  came in handy!!!!!!  I think I still have enough scraps to make a girl one now too!!!!  I seem to use so much polka dots don't I which make the different embossing folders work so well to give texture to your cards!!!  Thanks for looking and remember USE THOSE SCRAPS don't throw them away!!

Santa Slackers 11 and Jitterbuggin ,.One Stop Craft Challenge and C.R.A.F.T.

Well I combined my slackers challenge with the challenge over at Jitterbuggin this week!!!  I figured gold was a shade of yellow right!!!!  I was in the mood for fancy!!!  I also wanted to see how my imagine did with cutting out intricate cuts!!!  I was pleased!!!  The corners of my card is stickers i picked up at a LS store in Charleston last year.  I am well on my way to getting a good bit of my xmas cards done.  Maybe I will actually get them out on time this year!!!!  Maybe now I can give some of those intricate cuts a try without so much stress!!!  TFL

Also tried a new challenge One Stop Craft Challenge!!!

Scraplift from "obbsessed with scrapbooking"""

I don't know about anyone else but I rely heavily on others that have use or tried something new to inspire or teach me how to do something!!!  And since the Imagine is new to me I have scoured the blogs and internet seeing what others have done with their Imagines.  Joy from Obsessed with scrapbooking :http://www.obsessedwithscrapbooking.com/search/label/Projects%20-%20Imagine  Made this wonderful card that she used the Imagine More cartridge that comes with your Imagine.  I so loved it that I followed along and made one also.  Of course I didn't have the exact same papers ribbons etc.  But I rooted thru my stash and found things close enough since I loved the look of the card.  Well here it is!!!  I hope that she isn't upset that I scrap-lifted her creation!!!

PS  I used some reflection swirled diamond  bling that  I tinted with Adirondack latte ink to get it the right color for the card.  Now I can get the bling to match up with my colors I am using!!!!                         

Here is Joys what do you  think!!!!  Thanks so much Joy you are truely an inspiration!!!!!

Yes!!! My Imagine did a wonderful job on Mickey!!!!!!

Yes!!!  My Imagine did a wonderful job on Mickey!!!!!!  If you look at the two different cuts side by side you can see how wonderful the imagine colors your white paper for Mickey!!!!  No inking involved except for a little chalking on the cheeks!!!  I did ink up my birthday cake though!!!  I always have such a hard time finding just the right shades to make the different Disney characters but I found the RBG codes for Disney.

RBG Codes to Use with your Imagine:  just click on this and scroll down on your right and you have a few charts to use to get the right colors to print on your imagine.

 

I made this up for one of my sons twin's birthday card!!!  I have another to make!!!  I also used Birthday Bash to make the cake up and used my expression with different papers.  The candle flames were stickled to give them a flicker look!!!  Thanks for taking a look!!!   Any questions leave a comment and I will get back to you!!!!

Jitterbuggin "Wise Guys"

When I saw that we were doing Owls in this challenge it gave me the perfect opportunity to drag out my Cricut Lite Hoot n Holler.  I have been working on my xmas cards and thought ok I am going to give this a whirl.  Guidelines for this challenge was you had to use a circle and a square but the sketch was optional.  I know that owls are not usually green but hey he is a Christmas owl!!!  I added a little stickles to my background paper to make the lights sparkle like they were on and stickled then put glossy accents on the ornament hanging on the tree.  I used my gypsy to layout and size my cuts and added some of those cute little googly eyes on the little guy!!  Go on over to Jitterbuggin and try her challenges!  I know they have inspired me as they will inspire you!!!http://jitterbugginchallenge.blogspot.com/

Another Xmas card with Snow Angel IMAGINE cart

This is another easel card I made wanting to try some different cuts and practice the sizing on the imagine.  I used two different cuts from the same cart and took part of something and sized it to fit the easel card!!!  Decided to try a winter home scene for this one!!!  What do you all think?????
