I decided to use the BRAND NEW Fishing Gus image, available HERE.  The base of my card is Kraft with a mat of True Black and then decorative cloud paper from MME.  I stamped Gus on Select White CS, cut him out and colored him with Copics.  I added the clouds and sun using MFT dies.  The clouds were cut from watercolor paper and for the sun I used Mustard CS.  Doesn't he crack you up???!!!

Crazy 4 Challenges ~ A Little Something NEW!!!

Welcome!

We are starting a new Crazy New Year off today!!  Our challenge this week is brought to us by the wonderful Joanne!  She has challenged us to use some of our new stuff we got for Christmas.  I used THIS darling stamp from Totally Stampalicious called JJ Desperate Housewife.  In case you didn't know, Totally Stampalicous just released 5 new Bugaboo sets that ROCK!!!!  You can check them all out HERE.

The base of this card is Kraft CS with a mat of True Black.  The decorative paper is from Basic Grey's Little Black Dress Collection.  I stamped JJ on Canson Watercolor Paper using Black Memento ink and colored her with my Copics.  I paper pieced her skirt.  I matted the image piece with True Black CS.  I then added the strip of DP that I punched using my SU! scallop punch, added the Zva black rhinestone flourish and some gold twine.  On the inside I stamped the sentiment - "Do I look like a desperate housewife?"

Be sure to stop by the Crazy's blogs and leave some love!!

Totally Stampalicious ~ Let it Snow.....

This week's Totally Stampalicious challenge is to add some snow to our creations.  These days, the only creations I am making are those that I need to be sending for Christmas very soon!!!!  I added some snowflake paper to my card so that should work for the snow challenge right?!?  Anyway, here is a card I will be sending my Nephew, with money inside of course!!!

 

The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler with a mat of Select White and the DP is some old SU! paper.  I stamped the HILARIOUS Margaret on Select White using Black Memento ink and then colored using my Copics.  I used my Creative Memories corner rounder, added some Stickles on the ornaments, rhinestones on her earrings and then used some Early Espresso satin ribbon as well as some red and white twine to tie on the sentiment.  On the inside it says " He knows where you have been on the Internet".  That just cracks me up!!!  Anyway, I hope you have a great day!!

Just keeping the MERRY in Christmas....

Hi!  It's been a long time....I have literally not stepped foot in my craft room for 2 weeks.  I have a lot of stamping to catch up on!!  Might as well start with a Christmas card since Christmas will be here before you know it!!

Doesn't Gus just crack you up?  I stamped Gus (Going to Town Gus), from Totally Stampalicious, on Select White CS using Black Memento ink.  I then cut just below Gus' hat, belly and beer bottles and then stamped Gus again on the woodgrain paper from MME.  I then layered the Select White piece on top of the "bar".  Does this make sense?? LOL  Anyway, I matted using Early Espresso CS and colored using my Copics.  For the beer bottle labels I used my Copic Gold glitter pen.  I then added a Kraft panel which I stamped the sentiment using Early Espresso ink and added some linen thread.  The red DP is old Imaginisce paper and then I added the Select White card base.

Did you know that Totally Stampalicious has a Desert Menu???  Here are the delicious details!!!

Good Morning!

My sons football game was cancelled today so I was able to finish my Crazy card!!  Yes, I am a little late but at least I am posting it on the same day it was due!!! LOL!!!

Today's Crazy challenge is to incorporate candy in to your creation....

The base of this card is Select White with a mat of Kraft.  The 2 decorative strips are from MME Christmas Collection from last year...I think!!  I stamped the VERY festive Margaret {found HERE in the Totally Stampalicious store} on Select White using Black Memento ink.  I colored using my Copics and added some sparkly fluff to accent.  She also has some beautiful iridescent rhinestone earrings on!   I matted her with Rose Red CS and added some ribbon.

Finally, I am posting a card for our weekly Crazy challenge!!!  I hope the girls don't fire me!! LOL!!  This month's hostess with the mostess is Tammy!  Her challenge is to make any card to contribute to the Operation Write Home organization!  What a wonderful organization!  You can read more about it HERE on the Crazy blog.

The base of my card is Vintage Cream with a mat of Dark Chocolate and then some DP from Cosmo Cricket.  The DARLING Chester Platypus, (from Totally Stampalicious) image was stamped on Vintage Cream using Black Memento ink.  I colored using my Prismacolor Pencils, cut him out using my circle Nesties and matted him with a Dark Chocolate scalloped circle.  The sentiment, SO funny, was stamped using Early Espresso ink, punched out using my small Martha Stewart tag punch, and tied on to Early Espresso ribbon using Red floss.
