A world of Good Wishes

I am hosting this week’s card challenge on the Club CK forum.  My challenge, a black and white only card.  I am seriously on a black and white kick right now.  So this is the card that I made.  I made about 4 versions of this one actually.   2 to give away in a swapbot exchange and then 2 to sell at my craft fairs in November

A simple card.  I embossed the white piece and then using my Spellbinders, cut out a couple of circles for the sentiment.  A few die cut butterflies and some ribbon.  The black butterfly was heat embossed using some white embossing powder and my french script wood stamp.

Entered into the following challenges:

Meljen Designs: Use a ribbon

My Mum’s Craft Shop Challenges: Inspired by a song (Black & White: Michael Jackson)

It’s the Club CK Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall Blog Hop!!

Hello!!!

Welcome to the “Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!” Blog Hop, hosted by a talented group of ladies from Club CK. The blog hop runs from Thursday August 26th until Sunday August 29th.  You should have arrived here from Megan’s blog, but if you didn’t please go to the beginning of the hop to Stephanie { akaVirtually Froggy} and follow the blog hop in order. Everyone on the  blog hop from beginning to end  has a secret word that you need to collect, which spells a phrase.  This phrase will make you eligible for the grand prize. The details for grand-prize entry are posted at the start of the blog hop. You won’t want to miss it!

So our theme for this hop is sort of that transition period from where summer is just sorta ending and fall is right around the corner..**sigh**.  I live in Calgary Alberta, it always seems like summer is late to get here and fall and soon winter come too early! So I wanted to celebrate the last few days of summer with this card.  I chose this digital image from Kiki-Art which can be found here because I love the sentiment!  Living here where it seems to be winter for over half the year, you yearn for the sun..

I created this card using the new  line of Kiki-Art papers called ‘Sunny Bay’ which are found exclusively in the Scrapbook Magazine! Head over to your local Chapters, Indigo, Barnes & Noble etc and make sure you pick it up!  These papers are phenomenal!  They are sooo bright and cheery and just scream summer! I printed off the digital stamp and then just colored it with my copics!

I also have a giveaway for this blog hop!  One lucky winner is going to win these goodies..

I’m so excited

I just got some Copics off of Ebay for $51.  Cheap like borscht!!! I can’t wait to get them in.  I have to start working on my Christmas cards soon for the coming year and I plan to do a bunch with colored images on them so it’s going to be great.  I also joined Savvy & Sassy’s Copic Club where I get three colors every month for cheap as well.  That’s going to come in handy.

I also just joined Club CK with Creating Keepsakes.  I haven’t finished perusing everything yet but it looks like a lot of fun.  You should check it out!
