Mixed Media 5x5 canvas :) let it snow!

Hey everyone! So first I wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have voted for me.. (if you don't know what I am talking about and would like to vote, click here).. You can vote each day.. so if you haven't voted today.. head on over and do it! :)

For this project I used the stamp set Happy H'owl'oween from The Craft's Meow.. now I know this is not a halloween creation.. it's a cute little canvas.. a Christmas one that will be standing in the front by my door.. :) but I used these adorable Halloween Stamps (the owl) and made some little hats, to turn them into a Christmas Owl Couple.. :)

I really love how this turned out.. there is lots of textures, and fun elements I wish you all could feel/see it in person the clouds are made with stencil puffy stuff (don't remember what it's called, but it's 3d and has a texture to it.. I used rubons, a pen, some cute paper, paint, little gems, a flag w/flower, and of course some fun ribbon from pebbles in my pocket.. It goes around the whole canvas to bring it all together.. :) Thanks so much for looking! Hope you are having a wonderful week..hugs

Super Snazzy

Super Snazzy!!! hehe.. isn't that the best sentiment ever??? I just love it! This set is from The Craft's Meow it's called Fun{tache}tic (this is the other set I won.. Thanks Lisa!)and let me tell you.. all these little staches are amazingly fun to play with.. This is totally a CAS card, and the hardest part of the card was 1-finding 2 of the same small buttons.. 2- trying to get those little buggers to be straight.. :) but really it's a super fun card.. I think I might just make a bunch to have on hand.. you can never have to many "guy" cards can you?? I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday!! :) hugs

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

Liberty update on surgery, +card

A little update on Liberty!!.. She is doing very well.. Thank you to EVERYONE for your love, prayers, and support..Liberty surgery was a success.. she did wonderful.. she got out of surgery around 2pm.. on Friday.. she will stayed in the hospital for 24hrs.. The first things she said to me when she woke up was.. "I want a pop-sopt-kal" (Popsicle) :) The nurse asked me what color I thought she would like.. she said they have purple, red, and orange.. I said probably orange, since it has less die.. Liberty without missing a beat, eyes still closed said.. I want red.. in a sweet whisper.. so she got red.. she took 2 bites and fell back to sleep.. I love her spunky, sweet spirit.. even when she is in pain.. :) this is a picture of her and her brother.. while she was wheeled out of surgery..

For my card I used The Crafts Meow Stamp Set Life is a Carnival set.. I just adore this set, and thought it would be perfect for this sketch.. :) I stitched the "ground" for my elements to go on, instead of drawing them out.. I thought it would add a little more dimension to the card.

I also bent the tickets so they looked more "real" the Ferris wheel and the sentiment are on pop dots to me them Pop off the card.. Thanks so much for looking HUGS
