SLOOPY!

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!  SLOOPY....MY SLOOPY....INSPIRED THIS DIGITAL STAMP FROM TIDDLY INKS!

Be still my heart!  The fabulous Christy Croll made my dreams come true with this new Tiddly Inks image Puppilicous Dachshund.  A few months ago she asked the Tiddly Inks Design Team for image ideas. I begged her for a dachshund, and this was the result.  She said it was modeled after Sloopy.  I'm in love.

Thanks you so much Christy!

To make this card, I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from a stamp set made especially for Creative Chaos in Circleville called Buzzwords from Scraps Of Love.   I framed the image with scarlet cardstock and added a scarlet heart.

Tiddly Inks has so much wonderful, heartfelt images.  Go see....today's Fab Friday on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.

Buckeye Valentine

Take a look at the Valentines you are giving out.  All of your Valentines should be Buckeye fans, don't you think?  And, I've got a Valentine card that's perfect for all who love the scarlet and gray.

This card was made using the technique of inlaid die-cutting.  All dies are from A Jillian Vance Design.  I just LOVE the Heart of Ohio Die Set.  A dream come true for us Buckeyes.

You can read all about this card on the AJVD blog today.  GO BUCKEYES!

Scarlet and Gray All the Way!

Happy Game Day!

This card features the adorable digital image called The Posers.  It is from Sassy Cheryl's. I do believe Cheryl know exactly how I was going to color this image, LOL.  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers.  The football is an old image from PSX.  The patterned paper is from Scrapbook Customs.

GO BUCKEYES!!! Beat scUM!!!

Are You Ready For Some Football?

It's Fab Friday on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog!

I'm hoping for a Fab Saturday!  Go Buckeyes!

This card features an image from the Tiddly Inks Annie Mega Pack.  I printed the image onto Hammermill Color Copy.  I colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment is retired from AJVD and the football is from an old PSX stamp.  The little strip of patterned paper from Scrapbook Customs.

The pom-poms were made from a Clover pom maker using Scarlet and Gray Bakers twine.  

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Big day tomorrow!  (I hope)

Ohio State Bookmark

'Tis my favorite week of the year.

You can read all about how I made this bookmark using the A Jillian Vance Design Heart of Ohio die set over on the AJVD blog today!

5 days and counting.

Hello from Ohio

I am having a blast designing some cards with my new stamp set from Creative Chaos and Scraps of Love.  The images are by the very talented Ann Corbiere-Scott.  The set had me at this image.

I stamped the Ohio image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It cardstock. I colored with Copic markers. I fussy cut around the image. I placed a red glittered heart in the center.  I embossed a stitched circle die into white cardstock and pop-dotted Ohio into the center of the circle.  The sentiment "Hello From" is also from the stamp set.  It was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I scored three lines across the card and then tied some Buckeye twine from A Jillian Vance Design along the top.  A few silver sequins complete the details of this card.

Allow me to say, Go Buckeyes!!! Beat Iowa!!!

Buckeye Crunch

Are you ready for Saturday? 

My gift to coworkers this year was a bag of Buckeye Crunch.  Why?  Because I gave this same gift two years ago, and well, we know what happened two years ago.  Just call me superstitious. 

The Block O tag was created with A Jillian Vance Design stamps and dies.  You can read all about it on the AJVD blog today. 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. 

I'll Have Some Wolvereenie Turkey on Saturday, Please!

A card to celebrate what is happening later this week...Thursday, for sure.  Saturday, we'll hope, pray and yell at the TV and see.

Go Buckeyes!

It's been great to be a Buckeye so far this football season!

It's Tiddly Tuesday again over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is called "Happy Fall Y'all".  Most of my fellow design team members will be showing you creations with beautiful fall leaves.  Me?  You know my colors in the fall are scarlet and gray, LOL!

This card features one of the images from Tiddly Inks "Annie-Mega Pack".   I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock.  I then printed the image onto some masking film, and put over my first printed image.  I then stamped the block O image from A Jillian Vance Design with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I then removed the mask and colored the image with Copic markers.  A bit of crystal Stickles add some sparkle to the pom-poms.  A few scarlet and gray sequins complete this card.  The image panel was scored with a Scor-It. 

Go Buckeyes!!! Beat Indiana this week!

Cheering the Buckeyes

Posting this on the eve of The Game.  This card features the Tiddly Inks digital image of "Annie Cheers".  It is colored with Copic markers, with Crystal Stickles on the pom-poms.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design.  The football is from Stamps from Judith.  Scarlet and silver bullet cardtock form the layers of this card, along with an officially licensed sticker.

Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust

I had to do it!  I want many, many, many touchdowns this evening!  Let's pick up right where we left off in January!

The adorable image is by Sassy Cheryl's and it is called "Touchdown".  It can only be colored with Copic markers that are scarlet and gray.  No maise and blue.  No green and yellow.  No Nittany blue. 

X-Press It cardstock was used for this digital print.  Only the good stuff for my Buckeyes.  A fun sticker, and some enamel dots complete this card.

GO BUCKEYES!!!  Back-to-back!

Spool of Buckeye Blend Twine

Look!  I threaded a needle!

This card was made Buckeye Style with the adorable "Needle & Thread Die Set" from A Jillian Vance Design.  You can read all about this card on today's post on the AJVD blog.

I am "Sew Thankful" to be a Buckeye.  You know that, right?

National Championship Shaker Card

On week ago today, my beloved Buckeye beat Oregon to become undisputed National Championships.  I am still basking in the glow, as you can imagine.  And truth be told, probably will be for some time.  It is hard to win a National Championship.  There have been MANY talented teams that have not.  Everything has to be lined up right, and this year it was magically so for us.

To celebrate, I made this shaker card using lots and lots of A Jillian Vance Design supplies.  AJVD feeds my Buckeye soul, LOL.  You can read all about how I made this card on the A Jillian Vance Design blog, right here.

This card was inspired by the yellow confetti last Monday night, as I truly thought it should have been scarlet and gray.  It looked like the fine folks at AT&T Stadium was thinking the Ducks were going to win, as was the rest of the world.  These scarlet and gray sequins from AJVD make me very happy.

I printed the photo at Walgreens.  No, I wasn't fortunate enough to be at the game.  And golly, wouldn't even be in the position to take such an awesome photo.  Special thanks to Eleven Warriors for the mighty fine shot.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, and THANK YOU SO MUCH BUCKEYES FOR AN AMAZING SEASON!

The Ohio State Buckeyes ~ 

2014 Undisputed National Champions!!!!

Go Buckeyes!

Today's the day!  May there be lots of scarlet and gray confetti and balloons by the end of the day!

Go Buckeyes!  Beat Oregon!

This card was made by enlarging the Sassy Cheryl's digital image of "Little Heart Balloon", printing it, and only using a portion of it.  I've been wanting to try something like this, and I do believe I love it.  I colored her with Copic markers, and of course all of the accessories needed to be scarlet and gray.

The sentiment in the bow, and the "Go Bucks" is from my favorite A Jillian Vance Design stamp set called "Ohio Game Day".  The fun scarlet and gray sequins are from there as well.  They are new, so grab them while you can.

I made this card to play along with the current challenge on the Squigglefly Challenge Blog, anything goes.  Hope you join us.  And, while your at Squigglefly, you can pick up Cheryl's image there too.

And since we're in Dallas, let's hope and pray the Buckeyes pick up some of that beautiful hardware!  Say a little prayer!

Shut The Duck Up!

My blog has been quiet as of late.  I've been wanting to do something for the upcoming National Championship game, but too afraid of the "jinx" factor.  But I've got friends doing it, both Buckeyes and Quacks, so I went for it.

Here's my latest creation, and I must say...I love it.  I love the very idea of it, and I hope, hope, hope this comes true.  Nothing is sweeter than winning a National Championship, and my beloved Buckeyes have worked so hard to overcome many obstacles.  Can a little duck keep us from that coveted trophy?  I hope not.

I made this card using the Sassy Cheryl's image of "Touchdown".  I paired it with an image of a dead duck, found with the assistance of a Google image search.  The sentiment is from a sentiment set from There She Goes.  It was screaming to be included on this card, I hope you are not offended.  (Really, as of right now, I find Oregon fans to be nice and not obnoxious).  There's a button, some scarlet and gray twine from A Jillian Vance Design, and the patterned paper is from The Paper Studio.  All elements came together perfectly, just as this season did.

Disclaimer...I have nothing really against the Ducks.  YES, I WANT TO WIN, but should we not, I am content with Oregon getting it.  I'm just crazy happy it won't go to the SEC.  OSU had the thrill of beating Alabama last week.  It was sweet!  In a way, it was the main course.  Tomorrow's game is the dessert.  A very, very, sweet desert.  Any you all know how I crave sweets!

(Not a Buckeye fan?  Go to my friend Sue Kment.  She has some wonderful eye-candy to satisfy any Duck.

Go Buckeyes!!!   Beat Oregon!!
