My Top 10 Cards of 2010

I stumbled upon this blog hop and I thought it would be fun to join in.  It's hard to believe that 2010 is almost over but I'm really excited to see 2011.  There are so many fun things coming up and I can't wait to share with you all. 

For this blog hop we are to share our 10 favorite cards of the year.  This was really hard but here is what I pulled together to share with you all.

Victorine Originals - Anything Goes Challenge

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday.  I am still trying to catch up with things but it's hard when you have visitors.  I had so wanted to make a bunch of cards this weekend but I only got this one done :(  Luckily I have the rest of the week off so hopefully I can get them done :)


Today, starts a new challenge over at Victorine Originals and this week's challenge is "Anything Goes"...so let's see what you can do!!

Here is my card for this week's challenge.  I used the baby image again as it seems a lot of my friends & family are having babies this year so I'm stocking up on baby cards :)

Merry Christmas!

I wanted to pop in real quick to wish all of my followers and my friends a very Merry Christmas!  I hope you all have a great holiday!

My holidays started this morning when my brother-in-law and sister-in-law from South Dakota arrived on our door step, unnounced!!  They wanted to surprise everyone and to spend time with his family who he hasn't spent Christmas with since 1987-ish.  Needless to say we were very surprised and look forward to spending the next few days with them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Hugs,
Tanya, Brian & Abby

Inky Impressions Winter Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Inky Impressions Winter Release Blog Hop!  I am excited for today's post as it is my first official post as an Inkette!!!!  We are all very excited to share with you 7 new images, with a new inky friend Marlee and the introduction of a whole new line of Inky animals--which are totally adorable!!

You have arrived here from Nicole (Inky's Mama)'s blog and if you have please start there.  From my blog you will then hop on over to Marley's blog to see her stunning creation.   Make sure you comment on everyone's blog cause one lucky person who comments on them all will win a prize :D

For my card today I used Sophie's Sweet Snowman.  Once I saw this cute little fox I had to ink her up.

(this card was entered in the anything goes challenge at Catch the Bug)




I used a really cute paper pack I had from Close to My Heart, some lace I had on hand, flowers and stickles to create this card.

And for something a little fun.  As a lot of you know Abby loves to stamp alongside me and loves every minute of it.  When I got my stamps, she of coursed loved all of them so we had Stampalicious Lili out on my desk and had a little fun.

Here is a picture of Stampalicious Lili:

and here is a picture of Stampalicous Abby :D

If you look close enough you will see that she is holding Stampalicious Lili :)

well that's enough from me, Enjoy the hop!!!

Critter Sketch Challenge - Sketch & Color

Happy Monday everyone! Today is another Critter Sketch Challenge post and for the month of December we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.  Now being a previous DT of Bugaboo, I may be a little biased but I am super excited for this month and can't wait to see what everyone creates.

 

Today's challenge is to follow a sketch and to use the colors teal & Purple.  Can you believe that I don't much teal papers???  I was pretty shocked to find this out but it will give me a good excuse to buy some :D

 

Anyway my card uses one of the kid toppers that Bugaboo offers.  I decided against using one of the winter/christmas ones cause I think I'm close to having my fill of christmas cards at the moment :)

 

I hope you all have a fantastic day and I'll see you all soon :)

Inky Impressions - For You Card

I made a card tonight with another one of my images that has been colored in for awhile :)  I wanted to get her on a card even though it is no longer fall and the snow is on the ground.  I found this sketch blog named Sketches by Carly, Carly is a young girl who loves to create cards and sketches and then has her mom create them on the computer so we can then in turn use them.  Make sure you check out her blog and play along :)  I think I'll be using more of her sketches in the near future!

So for this week, the sketch is this:

and here is my card:

Supplies:

Image - Inky Impressions
Paper/Cardstock/SEntiment - Close to My Heart
Jewels - BoBunny
Copics

Stamp Fairy Design Team Call

Stamp Fairy is a relatively new digi stamp company that has some really cute images and they are holding a design team call to add a few more members to the team.  I have been going back and forth on this and finally decided to give it a shot.

Here is a card I made with one of the cute freebies you can get :)

and here are two other projects that I really like (but don't use Stamp Fairy).

PSA Essentials - Hello Kitty Winter card

I recently found this stamp company named PSA Essentials.  At first I wasn't sure about the stamps and whether or not I would like them but let me tell you, they are really cute and interchangable.  We got Abby three of the Hello Kitty sets for Christmas but I ended up giving her the winter set now so she can use it....well mommy had to play too :)

I made this really simple card because I'm sending it to my friend in Afghanistan as a "Hang in there" note, letting her know where all thinking and praying for her.

so until I get my hands on more variety of these stamps,  you'll be seeing a few Hello Kitty cards :)

Victorine Originals - Hoppy Birthday

For today's card I used this cute fat frog with a fly coming to greet him :)  I decided to make this card monochromatic and simple.  It's fun to make these every once in awhile LOL

Inky Impressions - Christmas Challenge

 For The Greeting Farm Hop please scroll down or go here

For the Shannon's Sentiment Hop please scroll down to next post.

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I am so excited to share with you my very first post as a design team member for Inky Impressions.  The team has had so much fun so far creating our cards that we can't wait to make more :)  Also starting today we will be starting up the bi-weekly challenges again over at the Inky Impressions Challenge blog as well as monthly challenges and mingles in the yahoo group. So make sure you come join in on all of the fun :)

Today's challlenge is to create a Christmas inspired project.  Using an Inky is not required but we would to see you use them if you own some ;)  The design team was given Rachel's Gingerbread Christmas to use on our cards today and this is what I cam up with

I had this idea for the window right after I colored the image in but it took me over a week to figure out how I was going to do it :)  I used a couple martha stewart punches to make the top of the window and the tree & wreaths.  Added the bows and "snow" to make it look more realistic and added a sentiment tag I found online for free.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it :)
