Fancy Chocolate Holder

First off... Let me apologize for the quality of the photos.  I was too busy out enjoying our weather, 79 degrees thank you very much lol, that I didn't make it home on time to have nice sun-lit pictures. They'll be replaced tomorrow. EDITED to add newly taken pictures.

So yes, Happy Sunday!!! I'm excited that tomorrow is a holiday as I'm still trying to fight off my cold. I'm hoping that some rest and a good dose of sun from tomorrow will finally be the end of this cold. Fingers crossed. 

I have another fancy chocolate holder for you. I made one last year for Halloween and my friend loved it sooo much I thought I would make her another one. Although after seeing how this one turned out I'm debating on wether to keep it or not. You know when you make something that you're really proud off and you want to make it one of your to keep pieces. I don't have many of those, I think I have about 2 that I cant seem to part with so if I do keep this one, well then that make #3. I guess that's not bad considering if we keep everything we make then it'll be never ending. Lol.

Ok so for this one, I changed it up slightly. I changed the layout of my attachment, changed out the chocolate (used a special one I got from San Francisco) added flowers, embellishments and I also added dp to the back. Plus I used some extremely awesome kraft paper that sadly I only have 2 sheets of. It's a no name brand I picked up a while back and I still can't find paper that is equally sturdy and nice looking. 

Side Note** If you ever plan on making one of these, make sure you use extremely sturdy card stock and reinforce it from all sides. Oh and you must use great sticky tape, be it red tape or score tape or something equally good.

OK Ladies enjoy the rest of your Sunday. As for me, I'm off to LAX but I'll be back tomorrow with a new Graphicat project and to play blog catch up.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Happy Friday! I'm here quickly sharing a CAS Valentine/Thinking of You card. It's funny how one says CAS which normally means a quick card yet the time you take coloring the image is double or triple the amount of time you take to put it together. Hmmmm, may have to reconsider this whole quick and easy thing. Lol. 

I hope you have a beautiful Friday. I'm happy over here as the sun finally broke through. We're heading into the late 60s to mid 70's. I'll def take that as we've been stuck in the 50s and Ive been battling a cold. I think it's time to say goodbye to it :)

Happy Tuesday!! I'm here sharing a card that took me a few days to complete. This little sucka' went through several layers of uncertainty. In the end I said, ugggh just go with your gut and call it a day. Lol.

So here it is... I was working with the color scheme pink, red and brown but I decided to be a rebel and used kraft brown ;) lol.

I'm a day early but here's a peek as to whats on my desk. I'm working on a few valentine day cards (not many) and these are the images I chose to use. I have a little bit of everything here.

I hope your week is going well so far. Thanks for stopping by

Friendship Bookmark

Hey All. It is almost Friday, Yay!!! We had a bit of rain this morning but now the sun is out and shining and I can get on and pretend to workout out there today. lol. Today I plan to walk to Sprinkles, a delicious bakery that is 3 miles away, which will make me feel better about wolfing down the peanut butter cupcake that I'll be chasing with a starbucks latte. I possibly may follow that with a red velvet cupcake. lol. Now you know why I should walk those 6 miles. Lol!!   

I'm here sharing a bookmark I created for The Greeting Farm using all the big Anyas. I'm hoping it finds a place in the CHA booth so we shall see :) The new item on here is Anya Celebrates, I didn't get it until late November (I think) and I barely had a chance to ink her up. They all look great together don't you think? Plus it makes the perfect friendship gift, which is perfect for Valentines day.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Thursday!!

Happy New Year!! I hope that 2013 has been a great stat for you all. I'm slowly getting myself back together after having a major technological breakdown over the holiday. I've yet to recover a lot but I'm hoping I will.

Ok onto my card :). Today's card features Buds (boy version), an adorable Mo Manning image. I had him color up for a bit so it was time to make something of him. I'm really trying to avoid coloring up images and leaving them for later so here's hoping I don't break that crafty resolution anytime soon :)

Ok so I'm off to celebrate my papa's birthday. He's hitting a milestone today, yay!! 

Oh and here's a little peek to what I've been working on. One of blog resolutions is to share a little about me every Wednesday. I always like to see what's on your desk type of posts so Im thinking ill be going along those lines. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Farmer Farewell Challenge

Hey there! Today is a sad day at The Farm as It is our last challenge of our term and the year. I had a lot of fun and I want to thank Marie, Jess and the DT girls from the bottom of my heart.

So the last challenge is a CASE challenge. I chose to case Sara's card here
http://scrapstampingefantasia.blogspot.com/2012/12/atmosfera-natalizia.html?m=1

I changed the rotation and the theme but all in all I think it's a pretty good case. 

I must apologize profusely for not having any pictures, I'm currently on my iPad and I cant upload pictures nor do I have the blogger app. I cant use my computer nor my iPhone as they both gave up on me. They are both completely dead and it has me in a panick as I didn't back up anything. I'm hoping apple will resolve my problem soon but there's still a lot that will be lost. ok enough woe is me, lol.

Make sure you check out the Greeting Farm blog to see all the farmer farewell creation (there you will find my card). I will upload as soon as I am able to.

Thanks for everything and for stopping by. Have an Amazing last weekend of 2012!!!!

FFF: Christmas Card

Happy Friday!! We are back with another FFF challenge over at The Greeting Farm blog. Since Christmas is less than 3 weeks away, OMG!!! it's time to start cranking out those Christmas cards. So the theme this week is Christmas or Holiday Theme Card.

I created a criss cross card using the nee Holiday Anya 2. I was going for a fancy look, so that to me means lots of flowers and ribbon. Lol. On the inside, I used one of the sentiments that comes in the Holiday Blessings set. These cards are a lot of easier to make once you make a few of them. At first I had to keep going back to check out the tutorial but then afterwards I was like whatever, I dont need this tute'. Lol. Now I just need to decorate them but maybe Ill tone it down and not use as much as i did with this one.

I hope you have a great Friday. Thanks for stopping by!
