Another Card!! Maybe I'm back? LOL

I did it! Took me friggin DAYS to finish it...but I have another card for you! Hopefully I can keep some sort of roll going and have another for you before too long passes. :) Oh I had so much fun colouring this sweet boy from Tickled Pink!! I had so much fun that I'm going to use him in my next Copic Class!! Sure hope you can make it!
So I had started the card using Sweet Sketch Wednesday's sketch...however it took me so darn long to make the thing that I missed out entering over there... LOL Anyhow... here is my card.

I've used some FAB papers from Authentique's Wonder pad, and the sentiment is from my Gingerbread Man set, and then of course that awesome Tickled Pink Frankie...all of which are available in the Graphicat Stamps store!!!

I did find a couple of challenges I can enter this into.....

Tickled Pink is having an Anything Goes challenge.... woot woot!!

Cute Card Thursday is looking for Numbers on your card.

and my old DT Stamptacular Sunday is looking for anything Christmas!!! 

Thanks for stoppin by!!!

Happy Birthday Dear Friend!!!

Yup! It's another great day today.....my dear friend Chris's Birthday. Now....the bugger up and moved to Fort Nelson on me....so Im still alittle perturbed with her over that....but Im gonna get over it long enough to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FRIEND!!!

Now....boy did I agonize over this card! LOL I didnt know WHAT image to use....she loves so many things. :) She is obsessive about the colour Blue first of all, and loves her tea, and cats, and teddy bears, and margarita's and sweet little blonde girls. :) So you can see my dilemma.... WHAT STAMP DO I USE??? Cause I have them all!!! I waiver-ed back and forth and forth and back again and then... finally I just decided to make the card I've been wanting to make since I won these images from Tickled Pink Stamps and well combine some of her above loves. I figure I've got the Blue covered....cats....tea.....and little blonde girls?? That's pretty good right?? LOL

Ya know...I used to struggle with the whole vintage thing...but I think I'm gettin the hang of it...specially when Im using Tickled Pink images anyhow....they just seem to NEED it. I had to cut poor Ivy's legs off cause well....there was no more room and I COULDNT cover up my favorite cat now could I??? Priorities people!! Now that's one of MY sentiments and I'll put er up in the shop for ya if you'd like it, at Graphicat Designs. I have distressed and crackled the heck out of this thing.....here's another shot.

Allright.....now I did also use the sketch over at Tickled Pink Challenges (honest, it's there...underneath all that stuff!!) So Im going to enter it over there too!

Now Chris....I hope you have a wonderful day! You KNOW if you were here I'd be meeting you at Starbucks to surprise you with your card and presents.... and then taking you to sushi at lunch to celebrate...and if you were still where you SHOULD be living in the blue house NEXT to me, we'd be having a margarita after work!!!!!! Bugger! So....this morning Im gonna drink my Starbucks at home, while I call you to tell you I love you and Happy Birthday, but it just wont be the same, so I may have to drink that Margarita before NOON.... and if I end up with a drinking problem it will be ALL YOUR FAULT!

Happy Birthday girl!

Now hop on over to Sarah's blog to see what she has to say about ya!

Im also entering this over at The Altered Alice.... what a fabulous challenge blog based around Alice in Wonderland!!!! I'll be stalking and playing along there whenever I can!

My New Fav Card!!

OK..... I think.... that I may have made my personal BEST today! Woot Woot! I dont know... something about this card just makes me go.... I DID IT!!!! heheeeee.... A little bit ago, I was lucky enough to win the whole kit and caboodle of the new Tickled Pink Victorian's release! um....yup... I did!  And I just could NOT WAIT to use Lilith... she is just.... OMG so full of something! LOL  anyhow..... I had so many ideas for her and well....I think I used em all! LOL Whaddaya think??

Heheheeeee.... here's a few more shots..... cause well... I took a few....

 Ok.....where do I start..... I guess  I started obviously with the FAB Lilith here.... then I made those Gears/Cogs.... I followed some tips from Tim (you know Tim... that guy who can save a dying polar bear while teaching ink techniques to the Eskimoes while embossing some chipboard?? LOL..... ) and made them out of chipboard/distress inks and embossing powder!! I used papers from BoBunny Timepeice collection.... and that sentiment.....heheee.... do you like it?? It's one I made... and it's up in the STORE  if you'd like to use it yourself! Anyhow.... I was happy with the outcome of my card. :) Im entering it into a coupla challenges..... First up.

Deconstructing Jen's Deconstructed Sketch ~ It's there under all that STUFF it's there...oh and upside down!

Bling It Up Lil Lolita Style

Hey everyone....just a quick post for you today. Of a card... a card I made... for ME! OK well not really for me, I made it for my niece...or started to, now Im not sure if I'm giving her this one or another.... but anyhow. What I mean is, it's not a DT card in anyway, just a card to show. I've used this Lil Lolita' image I've had for some time and been meaning to use. Thought she looked alittle like my little Ellie and her pouty look. LOL Anyhow, and since the current challenge over at Tickled Pink IS  Bling It UP I thought I can enter it there for sure...not really a challenge for me as there's ALWAYS bling on my cards.... LOL

I've used some papers from Prima...I think the first pad off Prima papers I've ever had actually.... I was really pretty happy with the colouring on her... specially her skirt, came out pretty good.
Anyhow, that's my card... I hope you like. Stay tuned for my Graphicat Designs images on April 3rd and some CA-UTE new cards for SOTM at Creative Accents as well!!

Happy Birthday Teila!

So another friend and fellow Creative Accents DT member is having a birthday! Yikes! ALOT of birthday's in January huh?? So my friend Teila has many talents and it was hard to narrow down something to use for the theme of her card....cooking....crafting....coffee......they're all her favs....so I decided to go another route! She also LOVES to sing AND loves the TV show GLEE. Now I've never seen the show myself, but I really wanted to do something along those lines, so I found this Quote when searching out Glee stuff and well.....thought it was fun! So....here's my card for Teila!

 Now it's an easle card, hopefully you can read my sentiment....it says:
SWEAT Dries
BLOOD Clots
BONES Heal

And then on the bottom it says SO SUCK IT UP AND SING!

Now.....like I said, it's supposed to be from Glee....is it?? LOL It made my sarcastic dry humor chuckle tho so either way....it works. :o)

Now this of course is a Lil Lolita....LOVE HER!!! I've actually used the sketch from the challenge over at Tickled Pink Challenges so Im entering the card over there too!!  I was pretty happy with the colouring on her, so here's a close up....

Allright, now the whole team has joined up to wish Teila' a happy birthday so hop on over to Tara's blog to see the next Bday card!!!!

Happy Birthday Girl!!!!
