Sweet Boys!

Good Morning! Today's card is a little break from the Christmas cards. It is me being proactive and planning ahead for my son's birthday in early January. I have had years that January 2nd comes and I don't have a card because I have been so busy with Christmas. Not this year! This card is made using the LOTV challenge sketch and of course one of their boys series images. The DSP is one of my basic grey paper packs from a couple years ago and a few buttons. Oh, oh, see that little orange circle around the sentiment- I made that by using a scallop circle and then in the middle of each of the petals I used a circle punch! I love how it looks.

Ok, enough for now- have a good day!

Simple Clean Christmas

So today's card is a little different isn't it? Firstly I used the Pixie Cottage sketch which I did like but struggled with alot. I was not sure where to put my sentiment! But I knew when I started I needed some simple holiday cards so did want to keep it simple. The colors were chosen as I didn't want to use typical traditional holiday colors so I could enter the card into the ABC DT Challenge and the Simon Says challenge. I added a little bling to give it a little umph!

Sweet Colorful Treats!

Today I have made a bunch of these holiday sour cream containers. Aren't they just adorable? And what about filling them with candy, setting them on your holiday table? Or, tucking a little gift in them and then using them as an advent: you know the 10 days of Christmas? Speaking of which, my youngests birthday is January 2nd and he has decided that he would like to do the 10 days of Jake's Birthday. Everyone gets him a little gift each day starting Dec 26th leading up to the 2nd and then he gets the BIG gift. LOL_ what do you think? Isn't he creative? I might have to come up with something to make it special this year. He is going to be 15!

Warmth of Christmas

Hello this Sunday evening! Boy- I looked at my last post and wondered what have I been up to? Well I can tell you it has not been crafting which has been a bummer........... alas, this weekend I did get some things done. This week in the mail I got some wonderful yummies! This memory box "Mistletoe" paper- are they not beautiful? Oh my- so beautiful and festive. And them my ODBD stamps- I have been participating in their challenges and I won a week or so ago! I love winning, it always gives me an excuse to buy more. :) You know what I mean. And my beading, I tell you- keep an eye out at HL because they have these with each holiday/season and I have gotten some beautiful colors and I thought they were so appropriate for this card- don't you? This card is being entered into the following challenges: Friday Sketcher and ODBD Challenge as I used this photo for inspiration:
I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Card Box

Today's project is one that they did a tutorial last week on SCS for. At first it looked a bit complicated but after watching the video I realized that it wouldn't be all that bad. LOL! So since I had the day off, thanks to the elections, I figured I would delve into this project and it really didn't take that long to cut it out and get it put together. I only had those 1000 Grands to put in it, sorry. If you wanted to fill the box with M&M's or something you could also put an acetate sheet in there to hold them in. I hope you enjoy it and just so you know, it was not that hard! Give it a try and I am sure you will make someone smile when you give it to them.

Waitin for Santa

Hello and thanks for stopping in today. I know I have not been really consistent this last week and shame on me! Today's card is another Christmas card, I have not mailed out 1 card yet. I do have them done but need to print the labels and get them all signed and such. Are you done yet?

The papers are from Basic Grey Figgy Pudding which is still one of my all time favorites! I colored Edwin with my copics.

Snowflakes and Baubles

I am such a slacker this week, I have done no crafting at all. Well I can't really say a slacker because I have been out and running errands, attending meetings and events every night this last week. Thus, my lack of posting because I had nothing to post, or so I thought. I have this little snowflake card! As you can see it is very simple and festive. Do you love my little acrylic bulbs? Well I found them at Michael's! Yep, if you recall I had little acorns for Thanksgiving and now i have bulbs! The card just has MS snowflakes with buttons and embossed backing! Thanks for stopping in and after shopping today- hope to make you some goodies to look at!
