March Gina K CSS hop - sparkles

Hallo,
  Welcome to this months Gina K CSS Alumni blog hop - our theme this time is 'Simplicity Sparkles' to make a clean and simple card and use only embellishments that sparkle.
  Make sure to leave some comments along the way because we will be drawing one random commenter to win a grab bag of Gina K design products!!!!
   If you are following along the hop then you came to me from the very sweet and talented Miesje  http://miesdf.blogspot.com/2013/03/css-simplicity-sparkles-blog-hop-3-26.html  and I am sure she had some great eye candy!!

Also part of the challenge for this time we are using sets from releases from September 2012 through Februrary 2013.
I chose the 'Beyond Baskets' set combined with the older 'Holiday Baskets' set. I did a small bit of masking and then colored with copics. I cut the image out with a Spellbinders die and used an out-of-the-box technique and then edged it with a gold mettalic pen.
  I colored over the top of the flowers with yellow glitter pen and then added more glitter with some clear stickles.
  In 2 of the corners I added some gold pearl drops with a touch of stickles over the top after they dried for some sparkle.
  Next I send you on to the very talented Vicki  http://allidoisstamp.blogspot.com/2013/03/stv-css-hop.html where I am sure she has some great sparkle for you too!!!
   I am at work again tonight and then have 3 days off!!!! Yippee!!!

Christmas Collage

Hallo,
Working again today....
Another one of my new stamps from 'Stamps Happen' - I really liked this collage stamp - eventually I plan to do a couple cards with this stamp cut up and rearranged but for today I left it as is and colored it with my copics.
You can find this great stamp here - http://www.janlynn.com/ - along with a ton of others!!!!
After coloring I edged the panel with red metallic pen and layered it to some Christmas DP along with a ribbon and some red stickles dots (I didn't have anything else small and red to add - stickles worked just fine - except it wasn't quite dry when I took this pic so had to reapply some to the one corner :).
All for today - Take Care

Elegant Rubbernecker ladies

Hallo,
Welcome to Monday!!! I didn't get much done at the craft table this weekend. My poor old mutt came up lame and in pain about 4 am friday(he wouldn't walk, was in alot of pain - to the point he wouldn't even let me touch his back or back legs and usually I can - he has had similar symptoms before only up by his neck and nowhere near this bad) - I had to work so DH had to get him to the vet for me - they think he had a bone chip off near his spine, even though they couldn't see anything on xray....so almost $400 later he has pain pills and steroids.
Getting pills down a dog is almost as bad a cats - I had been doctoring all 3 of my cats for a month now for ear infections, but thankfully their medicine is liquid.
Anyway poor old mutt - Husker - is doing better, up and about, and even went for a short walk yesterday. ( I worked today so no walk today).
Saturday the kiddos had District swim meet and end of season swim party...
So here's some pics of what I managed to get done in the craft room Sunday afternoon. Same theme as fridays cards, same lady from 'Rubbernecker' only in different colors and one more shot of fridays card on darker backround.
I used spellbinders dies to cut the layers, edged with black sharpie and silver krylon, colored with prismacolor pencils, foofooed up with stickles glitter and left over pieces of the same foam from the briefcase project.
All for today - Take Care
