Hey there, wasn't the Our Craft Lounge Sneak Peek / Blog Hop freakin' amazing??? OCL girls are SO very talented! Here's a card I made with the single called Boo-Boo. Isn't he the cutest? I teamed him up with Oriental Garden, one of OCL's retiring sets. I think they look awesome together!
Here's the inside...another one that doesn't have much to it...just enough to tie it together with the front.

Don't you just love this new designer paper from Fancy Pants? I've had these images colored for a couple months now, so I really lucked out with how well it coordinates! It was super easy to fussy cut the lighthouse, adhere it to the oval then pop it up on foam. Violรก...easy peasy card!

I have one more card I want to share today. Rose Bowl bound, baby! That's right, the Oregon Ducks are going up against the Wisconsin Badgers in the Rose Bowl and guess who has front row seats...Gramps! But not in the stadium...oh, no...Gramps will be checking out the game from the luxury of his "man cave". You can almost hear him chanting..."Let's Go Ducks, Let's Go Ducks!". Oh...and how sweet is it for Gramps to have a portrait of his sweet thang on the wall! Gotta love it!
Confession time...Gramps isn't as big of a Duck fan as I've made him out to be. He actually has a number 1 on his shirt and I omitted stamping that part and drew in the O. Although there is a circle on his hat...I fudged that a bit too and made another O. The pennant on the wall was actually computer generated from a picture I took off the Internet of an actual Duck pennant. Clever, huh? *grin* The inside of the card was also computer generated. My mother-in-law has a birthday coming up and she's a huge Duck fan so I'll find a nice birthday sentiment and get this over to her. Here's the inside...
***Blogger is giving me fits and deleted the Copic colors that were used. I'll see if I can figure out what happend and fix it later. Grrr...***
No such luck on recovering the markers used so here's the list to the best of my memory (I know...scary, right?).

Hey there, are you ready for another Our Craft Lounge Sneak Peek / Blog Hop? I know I am! *grin* This first card uses two stamp sets...well, actually one set and one single...Love in the Air and Spilling over. Last month I learned this really cool technique from Just Us Girls Challenge Blog called Ghosting. I made a Christmas card with the technique and I couldn't wait for this release so I could try it with the hot air balloons! It's such a cool effect and I'm a sucker for sponging! The only thing I did different than in the SCS tutorial (link is in the Details section below), is that I heat set white craft ink on Neenah card stock before sponging (I haven't tried VersaMark on glossy paper...yet). Oh, I also masked and sponged the blue sky on the Copic colored balloon so it would blend in with the background before it was fussy cut and popped up on foam.
Here's the inside...

Great news though, now you have plenty of time to play along! The challenge this month is "Bling it Up!", so break out that sparkly bling and have some fun! I had so much fun, my fingers are still blue! *grin*
Today's card uses the Ole St. Nick set from Our Craft Lounge. Isn't he a handsome Santa...right down to his rosey cheeks and round, little belly! I love to color him because he colors up really easy. Gotta love that, huh? And the Sparkly Fluffed snow...♫ awe-some ♪!!! If you've never worked with it before, it's really soft to the touch and it sparkles!

Hey there, here's another Christmas card for my stash. I guess I better get a move on or I'll finish my cards AFTER Christmas. D'oh! I really need to plan ahead next year...it isn't like I don't know when Christmas is!
This card teams up SCS sketch, SC361, with Our Craft Lounge's Penguin Fun and Under the Mistletoad sets. This is such an adorable little penguin but watch out...uh oh, too late...he just gotcha! *grin* Hey, check out the snow storm I created using a Quickie Glue pen and some fine glitter. It has a little bit of sparkle but a super cool effect (you can see it better in the close-up pic).
