Inky Antics Christmas Blog Hop! :)

Tweet

Hi everyone!

Welcome to our Inky Antics Christmas blog hop.  

If you are here from sweet Jovi's blog, you are in the right place.

If you just happened onto my blog, you will want to go back to the Inky blog where it all starts. :)

The girls have all created projects with some of Inky's latest Christmas stamps.

I know...it's not even Halloween and we are sharing Christmas cards. But, you know how it is when you are a card maker though. You have to start early! We are leaving you plenty of time to check out some of Inky's newest sets, get them ordered and still have lots of time to get your cards done. :)

I am super excited because this is the first hop that includes my stamps! My friend Tex (Bev) and I will be sharing cards created with stamps from my Punny Christmas Critters line, and the other girls will be sharing projects created with the wonderful Tammy DeYoung's new images.

My card was done with #11129MC Punny Christmas Pups clear set. It is also available as wood mount...#0095H Fleas Navidad.

This is what the entire set looks like.

You can get a link to it and the other stamps the girls have used for this hop HERE.

I loved "decorating" the tree, and thought I would share a close up. The glitter and rhinestones almost look like lights. :)

Card Recipe:

Designer Paper: KaiserCraft - Belle Collection

Cardstock: Discount Card Stock -  Posh Red Linen and Brilliant White

Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon - Ruby Red Diamond Satin

Other: 

Want2Scrap - 72 Count Red Rhinestones

Art Glitter - D59 StarDance Hexus Grande Dazzlers

Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol, StazOn Jet Black ink, JudyKins Diamond Glaze, Beacon Fabri-tac, Scotch ATG, sewing machine with red thread, Bow-easy

The blog hop starts today and ends on Sunday, October 28th at midnight Central time. Please visit each DT members’ blog to view their projects and leave a comment for each designer. The more you comment, the better your chances are to win. (Limit one comment per blog, please). TWO people’s names will be drawn at random to receive an Inky Christmas clear stamp set. The winners’ names will be announced on the Inky Antics blog next Monday, so remember to stop back and see if you've won.

Your next stop on the hop is Michelle's inspiring blog. :)

Thanks so much for hopping by!

"Dream" Canvas for Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge and Art Glitter Post

Tweet

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I just have a sneak peek to share with you today.

It's time for another fun Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge.

The theme is "Bling with Ribbon".

It's also my day to post over on the Art Glitter blog.

I created an 8"x8" canvas for Want2Scrap to display at CHA and it works perfectly for both of today's posts. Here is the peek...

Yep....that's drywall fabric on my art canvas! I had quite a bit left from a home-improvement project and thought I  would incorporate some of it in my artwork. What do you think? :)

Why not join in on this week's challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon? You might just win one of two prizes, and you will definatly have fun! :)

Don't have time to play along? You can still head over there and take a quick look at the beautiful projects the other girls have created for you.

If you would like to see the entire project with detailed info, please visit my post on the Art Glitter blog. :)

Thanks and....

My CardMaker Magazine Blog Post and Comment Candy!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Today was my turn to blog about one of my favorite tools or products on our CardMaker Magazine blog.

I would LOVE for you to head over there and check it out.

Here is a teeny tiny sneak peek at the project I am going to be sharing with you there.

Because my favorite product post is about ribbon, I asked Bonnie from Really Reasonable Ribbon, if she would like to sponsor my post with some blog candy, and she graciously said yes.

This is the January Ribbon of the Month club assortment. Isn't it yummy? ;)

For a chance to win it, all you need to do is pop over to our CardMaker Magazine blog, take a peek at my card, then come back to here and leave a little love in the form of a comment.

I will draw a winner on 1/14/2012.

 BTW...I would love to know what your favorite style of ribbon is!

I have been on the RRR design team for almost 2 years now and am always blown away by the value and beauty of the Ribbon Club assortments. I love to be surprised every month when I open up my RRR package! 

I would also like to invite you to head over to the Really Reasonable Ribbons Ramblings blog to sign up for the wonderful set of  "2nd Blogaversary Candy" that Bonnie is giving away.

Just look at all of these goodies! :)

Thanks so much for dropping by today! :)
