Craft Your Passion- Something beginning with the letter "B"
First, I hope I did not offend anyone with my last post but I just couldn't believe what my doggie and pussy cat did! I missed the 52 Card challenge last week with their sketch so I combined last week with this week's challenge and made the card traditional with the colour combo. Craft Your Passion is right up my alley since my name starts with a B (and no not that B but at times I can be one:)). The first card has a bow and a bird and the last card has blue! I LOVE blue. I rarely use patterned paper so Christmas cards All Year Round has a great challenge for me. Most of my cards are flat since I do still mail cards (nope not e-mail, actual mail). I am into Snowmen recently...um, that didn't sound right and they are a bit cold for my taste. Now I saw a beautiful card done by a fellow crafter, Bekka, who created a snowman card using the same stamp! I think she does an amazing job and you should check her cards out. I actually stole, um, I mean lifted...nope, I mean paid homage by creating a similar vibe with my snowman but I love hers so much better. If you can, too, she created a wondrous card and story about abuse a couple of weeks back. I hope Bekka doesn't mind me gushing about her here.
I do believe I write the way I talk which is scary! Whatever comes into my little head plops down on the page like mashed potatoes.
I thought your last post was hilarious. In a disturbing way, but funny anyway.
ReplyDeleteLike the first card. The cardinal is our state bird.
Thank you! Oooh I didn't know the cardinal was the state bird for you-that's great:)
DeletePersonally, I loved the last post. PMSL. Some things in life must be told as is. We can't censor and sanitise everything. Having said that, it may be wise for Smut and Slut to keep a profile until the dust settles. Both cards are lovely. Love the luxurious colours of the first and the frosty feel of the second. I've got a thing for snowmen too... so your secret is safe with me!
ReplyDeletehugs, Asha
Oh they are behaving and no more XXX going on in the livingroom that I have seen. Snowmen get me with their top hat
DeleteThat snowman card is so cute! So true that Christmas is coming quicker than we think! Have no clue where this year went.
ReplyDeletebetty
Thanks and I also have no clue where the year went at all
DeleteBoth of your cards are beautiful! Love the cardinal and the snowman. I guess Christmas really is coming. Ack, not ready. The prior post was funny. If you write the way you talk, sitting down for coffee with you would quite enjoyable :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks about my cards! I was told I write like I talk which I think is scary with my stream of consciousness thought
DeleteYour mashed potato brain can plop down on the page any day of the week, Birgit! :) You are the sweetest ever!! Thank you so much for boosting my ego by "paying homage". Haha. I feel like a dictator or something now, using that phraseology.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are gorgeous and I LOVE what you've done with that snowman stamp. Yours is so much more glittery than mine and glitter and I are like best friends... except I don't own any. Which probably should be remedied.
Thanks for making me smile!!
You are welcome and I promise not to goose step around you:) You have no glitter??? I mean, really??? None??? I am speechless - how can one live without glitter?
DeleteLOL I missed your post last week so I had to go read it now. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLove the snowman card even though I actually hate show itself. But it's so pretty in pictures. :)
Thanks:) I don't mind snow especially when it glitters like diamond dust
DeleteOh, that is so beautiful!! I love them. The silver filigree (if that is what you call it) just adds to the overall effect. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose are stickers! It turned out well eh? I am so Canadian that I even write the word "Eh" in my responses or posts
DeleteI used to live in NE Ohio, so Canada was just down the road. When we were little, we were always excited when we found Canadian coins mixed in change we got at the store.
DeleteNow I live in the South and I mentioned that to someone one day when we were talking about things that kids like. They looked at me like I had just rode a meteor in. No amount of explaining made them "relate" to the story, bwahahaha.
Oh, Canada...I do love your bacon (smirk).
Hey, do you use a heat gun?
Beautiful colors! I love the pretty cardinal. Thanks for joining us at Alphabet Challenges.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much-Enjoyed creating it
DeleteThe story of your cat and dog is too funny. :) These cards are heartwarming and gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI usually would like the first card but there's something about that second card that is just SO much fun!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree-mr. Snowman is having fun
DeleteLoved these specially the snowman . Your cards are so neat and beautifully crafted.
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
DeleteYour last post was hilarious. After I finish here, I'm going to share it on my Facebook wall. I like both your cards. The first is very classy. I think if I was to do a snowman card, I want to give him a rainbow body.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that-that is a nice compliment:) A rainbow body eh?? Hmmm maybe that may happen
DeleteVery nice work with the cards. Hey, improv blogging. I often write just whatever pops into my head. Sure beats posts on how to write right. Right?
ReplyDeleteLee
Tossing It Out
I like improv more fun that way:)
DeleteBeautiful cards. And isn't that the point of having a blog--being able to air the crazy that happens around us? No matter how bizarre.
ReplyDeleteYou are right! How true:)
DeleteLove the snowman, and your background is fab! Thank you for joining us at Eclectic Ellapu for our latest challenge!

You have two terrific cards here! You did an excellent job combining this week's 52{C}CT colors and last week's sketch on the first card. I love the pretty cardinal (which is my state bird, too). Thanks for joining us - I hope you'll be back again soon for another challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, you did a super job with the sky background on your snowman card.
And now I'm intrigued about your previous post about your animals, so I'm off to go check that out. ;)
Thank you so much and i want to try to get more cards done:) I hope you liked the post:)
Deletetrès élégante création Birgit, j'aime beaucoup ce cardinal si stoïque, merci de jouer avec nous chez CSAYL, biz
ReplyDeleteThank you and Merci:)
DeleteThank you:)
ReplyDeleteok, please don't worry about offending anyone again! You are hilarious, and that post was hilarious, and it was also sort of innocent in a weird porno way. So, no worries on my end!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that snowman!!
Thank you and weird to say innocent-my animals were anything but! hahahaaa. Glad you like Mr. Snowman
DeleteIt's all good, even when your pets get down and dirty, BB. You tell it like it is, and I like that about you. The cards are wonderful. Do they sell red foil, or did you make it red? I'm impressed either way.
ReplyDeleteThanks! You buy the foil and it comes in different colours and designs
DeleteBoth cards are great. I love your colour choice. Thank you for sharing with Fairytale Stampers - Myrna (GD)
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
DeleteAh...very nice, Birgit. The snowman is my favorite, and snow is in the forecast this week. Tis the season!
ReplyDeleteI saw it snow today and the snow stayed on some weeds and it looked really pretty
DeleteBoth cards are just lovely. I can't decide which I like better, but I really don't wanna think about snow, so I should go with the beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with us this week at Craft Your Passion for our 'Something beginning with B" challenge.
Lynn, CYP DT
I saw snow today:) Thank you so much:)
DeleteLove that snowman!! Only 39 days til Christmas!! LOL let me know if you get tired of my countdowns :)
ReplyDeleteOh I just heard 6 weeks until Christmas-not ready! One day I will have all the gifts bought and wrapped and nothing more to buy:)
DeleteThanks for entering CCAYR November challenge and also both of my CHNC challenges with your lovely crafting - hope to see you again soon. x
ReplyDeleteThanks:)
DeleteHalloween may be my favorite holiday, but I adore Christmas decorations!! They just make me smile, like your glorious cardinal and snowman. Keep letting your thoughts drop on the page like mashed potatoes. Love that! Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much..I shall plop away:)
DeleteBoth cards are really pretty. I especially love the background on the snowman card...lovely colours and nice texture. Thanks for joiining our Things Beginning With B challenge at Craft Your Passion this week. I hope we see you again soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much-it was fun!
DeleteThis is gorgeous and love your color combo. Thank you for sharing with us over at Eclectic Ellapu this month and do hope to see you in further challenges. x
ReplyDeleteThank you-it was so much fun
DeleteBoth of these are beautiful! I love the snowman one the most, as I am always drawn to snowman cards. :) They are just so cute!
ReplyDelete~Jess
Snowmen are always fun to create

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at the Alphabet Challenge.

Thank you:)
DeleteBoth are very pretty! Love all the gold on the first. I wish I could see it for real, because I bet the clear beads over the image look fabulous! Thanks for playing with CHNCC2.
ReplyDeleteYou're right! I can't get the camera to pick up these beads. It is fun to do these challenges
DeleteLove the snowman!
ReplyDeleteI think you can get the beads depending on the angle you take the photo :)
This year has flitted by so fast...can't believe we only have a month left...almost.
