MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

to all and to all a good night! I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday :)

1 day til Christmas

I hope this card finds all of you relaxed and ready to enjoy Christmas tomorrow. Sweet dreams tonight and may all of you be on the nice list :)

2 days til Christmas

How about a little snowman soup to keep you warm while your out shopping or during that hustle and bustle! I did these little snowman boxes with some homemade marshmallows, hot cocoa, candy cane, Hershey kisses and an orange M&M. Attached is a little saying that you can search on the internet for, there are so many different ones and then make it your own or leave it ;) Along with a picture of what the snowman soup looks like when all items are placed in the cup. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

3 days til Christmas

I think I am living vicariously through my cards, I so wish it would snow so my kids could do this, I guess for now mud angels will have to do :) I hope you enjoy and today finds you happy and healthy!!

4 days til Christmas

We're getting closer :) I am also entering today's card in MPS color challenge, blue or teal, green and brown. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!!

5 days til Christmas

o today was tough, it seems my brain hit a wall and didn't want to work :( So take comfort in the things around you, right?!? Well what was around me was my craft stuff, not working!! Then I looked at my new cozy PJ bottoms and slippers that I received last night from my most caring sister and brother-in-law, who knows I am ALWAYS freezing. I have chosen to call this post "Ode to the PJ's". It's amazing what a wonderfully cozy pair of pj's will do, lol! Here is a picture of my pj bottoms and warm new slippers, don't mind the mess :) and if you think I am crazy, I probably am, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do :)

And, here is the card to go along with them. I used heat embossing to achieve the snowflake look and Tim Holtz distressing ink for the purple. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

6 days til Christmas

Wow, the time is flying by, only 6 more days. Yikes!! This was a fun project for a friend's co-workers that I just did. 3x3 card and envelope with a little treat for them, just to wish them a happy Holiday. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

7 days til Christmas

Today I did the M.A.G. Challenge for this card, can you guess what image I used??? I saw it and this is what came to mind :) See image below for item used. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!!

8 days til Christmas

My daughter had this lace ribbon around her head, using it as a pretend headband and I instantly asked her if I could have it!! I had a vision of a country Christmas, with a beautiful tree in front of a picture window, all wrapped up in muted colors. I layered the ribbon on some cardstock and cut it into a triangle shape for the tree. Cut pieces of paper in square and rectangle shapes for the presents and used a leaf punch for the wreath and garland. Oh and lots of stickles :) I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!

9 days til Christmas

I tried to make this card really yummy, so you would just want to eat it :) With embossing and Tim Holtz Distressing inks I was able to do all the colors and shading. Amazing what you can do with a white piece of paper ;) I then cut out a gingerbread shape and distressed it, added beads to look like gumdrops and you have your cute card! I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!!

10 Days til Christmas

Good morning everyone! Only 10 days left, wow how time flies, it seems like I was just cooking my turkey :) This card has a lot of different things going on from one stamped image. I did some glitters with the MS glitters, heat embossed, distressed and voila. If anyone ever has any questions you can always leave them on the post or email me and I would be happy to try and answer them :) I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!

11 Days til Christmas

11 days left, hope you are all ready :) I did today's card in the colors for My Pink Stamper's 11th day Challenge. 2 shades of pink, 2 shades of blue and black. The link is on the side for those that want to participate. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!!

12 days til Christmas

So today is the 12th day and for the next 12 days I will be making a Christmas card everyday to tell all of you Happy Holidays!!! Today I decided to use the Mojo Monday Sketch design for the 1st card :) I will not be posting recipes for the cards for the 12 days, if anyone has any questions on what was used or anything you can email me or just leave a comment and I will get back to you. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!!!

M.A.G. challenge- Paisley pg. 59

So your probably thinking WHAT, two in one day!! or you thinking ya so what's the big deal :) Anyhoo, I couldn't turn down a challenge and my fellow blogger girlia referred me to these and they are so much fun and I also have a hard time turning down a challenge ;) For those that want to join I have posted the link below.

I just love, like most crafter's do, when you think of the way you want something done and it comes close to or is your thought exactly. That is what happened with this one. I wasn't quite sure if the flowers would work into a wreath, but I was determined and it wasn't that difficult in the end.

I used two different sizes for the flowers, green at 1 1/4 and the red at 1/4.
