The Crafts Meow

********ETA: I was looking at this card and wasn't happy.. something felt like it was missing.. BIG DUH!!! to me.. the little bat's ears.. (blushing here) I was so excited to get this posted.. I forgot the ears.. I have NOW... used the little cat whiskers and added ears.. :) much better.. oops)

Hey!! Okay.. sooo this card may look CAS.. but it's CA took a while to figure out.. so CATAWTFO..lol :)

Really it did.. this is the reason why.. see that adorable bat.. well he use to be a spider... and his wings, they were "cat whiskers" yep.. I used the cat whiskers from this set to make bat wings.. I paper pieced this whole card.. and the spider web is just part of the web that comes with this set.. You may be asking yourself.. DUH Alison!! Why didn't you just use that adorable bat that came with it?? Well 2 reasons.. 1-I needed a little bigger bat to balance out this card. 2- You know me.. I have to do it the "hard/my way" lol :) The only thing I wish was different about this set.. I wish there were a spider and a bat sentiment.. like I'm batty for you., or I'm Batty,. or swinging by to say hi.. :) but I still LOVE IT!! :) This set is from The Craft's Meow (Designed by Jenny Suchin)

This is the adorable set that I used.. LOVE IT!!! :)

I hope you like this little creation from me.., and I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday! If you have any questions please ask.. oh all patterned paper is from SEI :) HUGS

Happy H'OWL' OWEEN!!! (3rd post today)

Okay.. yes.. I am sorry.. I have another card today.. I won these stamps from The Craft's Meow.. (this set is called Happy H'owl'oween isn't that a fun name) and HAD to play with them RIGHT AWAY!!! So.. I couldn't wait.. This card was inspired by the sketch challenge at The Craft's Meow.. I of course added my own flair.. but really love how it turned out.. I think for now it might be a new favorite card of mine :)

I paper pieced the owls and the cute little bats.. :) and popped them off the card..

I also pleated the "grass" for a fun look.. I love how it turned out.. all the papers here are from basic gray.. :) Thanks for looking! Hope you are having a wonderful, craft filled weekend.. hugs

You Rock! Unity FWF

Hey everyone! I am trying to get some of my lost mojo back.. so I decided to do a sketch challenge.. I used the sketch from Sketch Sat.. it's a super fun and easy one to do.. :) That's right up my alley.. Don't forget to stop by Unity's FWF and link up :)

There are a lot of details on this card.. one fun element is.. for the clouds I used a tree top.. from unity called bella trees I loved the size of this tree top.. and needed a cloud that size for my rocket..

I also wanted a lot of textures, and dimension on this card.. so I ended up rolling up the puffs coming off the rocket, and the clouds.. :) Hope you can see that here..I used MME patterned paper, and black puffy paint to go around the letters and the rocket.. :) Thanks for looking at my simple creation today! hugs

Paper Smooches GDT Week 3

Hey everyone!! I can't believe I have been the GDT member for paper smooches for 3 weeks already. I want to thank everyone who comes to see my creations each week.. It really means a lot to me.

Okay onto this weeks creation. I used 8, yes 8 Paper Smooches sets. Let's see, the details.. well I used the tv for the soapboxes, I stamped them on Kraft cardstock then used my copic markers to shad them, the "i" for the # sign, to make the number 8 on the soapbox I used the scooter light, for the wheels I used the double circle from the sugar rush set. Oh for the number 11 I used the long rectangle.

for the rest of the card, I think you can see where I used what image.. oh the dotted road is from the Alphadot set :)

Challenges-
Paper Sundaes-just say hi

Let's Play

Oh my heavens.. I have to tell you all how much fun I am having with these paper smooches stamps. I received some for my birthday, and ever since then I have been hooked on playing with them.. :)
So I made this little beach scene, and it was so much fun to create. I used a few different sets.. so I will start left to right. For the "sand castle" I used the "Sugar Rush" set. Yep.. see that cute little drink with the straw.. I used that as the outline. For the Seagull and the rest of the "fishy" elements I used the Surf and Turf set. For the Sun I used 2 different sets. The Boob Tube set. I used one of the TV's for the shape, and then I used the Hang Up's set for the "Rays" of the sun. The Sentiment comes from Chubby Chums set. I thought it was perfect "Let's Play" since I am sure Seagulls would rather "eat" the crab then "play" I think that would put a smile on someones face. I also placed pop dots under the sandcastle, seagull, and the crabs to make the "pop" off the page.. :) Wish me luck on my GDT and the new PS Spark Challenge.. HUGS

I used copic markers to color in my creation I must say this is one of my favorites for now :) I hope you enjoy looking at this as much as I enjoyed making it.. HUGS

I used the colors from Paper Smooches.. sketch the one with the waves and turned it.. I added a few more images to make it work for me too :)
I am also entering this into the PS GDT call :) how fun..

Pink Cat Studio Butterfly Contest

Hey everyone!!! Well.. I went ahead and entered the contest for the Pink Cat Studio (use their paper piecing butterfly pattern) to create something.. anything that you want.. :)
Soo... here is what I did.. :) I had a blast creating this wall hanger.. I hand cut the butterflies, I used 3d pop dots to lift up the body, bent the top wings up to give it a 3d effect, I used a pink glitter paper for the top wings and punched 3 holes on each wing to add a little bit of fun.... I took puffy paint and added dots to the bottom wings, and attached rhinestone gems to the top of the antennas... I sewed the edges of the patterned paper to hold it down to the base, applied white puffy paint dots to the orange background scallops, added a fun rub on, 3 monochromatic brads.. oh.. and I distressed everything..

can you see the dots? and the 3d effect of the cute butterfly :)
I didn't stop there...

I also created a cute hair bow for my daughters hair..created out of fabric.. :)


Well thanks so much for looking.. :) HUGS
