Christmas Box

Sunday has almost come and gone. It was mostly sunny today and we spent most of the day at Baby Creek and brought home a trailer full of wood for the fireplace. We're getting ready for a long winter's nap. Hehehe! Snow has already hit the east coast and it's just a matter of time before it arrives here. We often lose electricity so the wood keeps us warm. I did have time to work on a little project this evening.

This is a pizza box decorated for Christmas. I made this for a challenge at Joan's Garden. Here's another view of the top of the box.

Joan's challenges are always fun. Her's what you need to do. Create a box using the tutorial at Selma's blog. You must have a band around the box and it must be decorated. You must use Christmas paper. The angel image is from Digital Delights by Louby Loo and tied to the band with twine. The belly band has two layers: one with a Martha Stewart border and one with Christmas designer paper. I created a scalloped fan fold flower decorated with a button that looks like a green Christmas tree. I added a Christmas sentiment.

I'm also entering this into the following challenges:

• Cuttlebug Spot: anything goes
• CAS-ual Friday: Over the edge
• Crazy 4 Challenge: Wrap it up

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have an outstanding week. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Fall Birthday

Happy Monday! Happy Halloween! How was your weekend? We had great fun at my MIL's birthday party. While I was reluctant to wear a costume they turned out to be lots of fun! We are allowed to wear costumes to work today. The first time that I can remember being allowed to do that. They did make the caveat that they had to be tasteful costumes since we are open to the public. So I thought I would share my costume. I have a really stupid look on my face in this picture but maybe you can guess what my costume is.

Can you figure it out. In the background is my DH's nephew, Henry. He was a ghost buster. Read to the end to find out what my costume is if you haven't guessed it yet. The shirt says "GO Ceiling" and those are pom-poms in my hand. Now on to my latest project.

I needed a birthday card for my BIL this week so this is more of a guy card I think. Kind of a fall theme. The image is from Designed 2 Delight.  The background stamp is from Studio G and the sentiment is from a set that has no name. I won it as blog candy a while ago. I used a lattice punch to create the border.
I'm entering this card in several challenges:

• CAS-ual Friday challenge: sketch
• Outlawz Sunday challenge: anything goes
• Designed to Delight challenge: use a pumpkin

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a fantastic week.
Oops! I almost forgot to tell you about my costume. I was a ceiling fan! Get it? "GO Ceiling!" Hahaha

Fall Get Well

Sorry for the absence this past week. And my coming week is another very busy one. Still working on the invitations for my MIL's 80th birthday party. But I have a few cards that I need to send out. My cards tonight are some get well wishes for family members.

My cards are definitely CAS. The sentiments are digis (by Marlene of Disguised as a Grown-up) cut and sponged with pumpkin ink. The designer paper is Basic Grey cut with Magnolia Berry Lace die cut. The leaves are punched with several shades of orange paper. These cards are for a couple of challenges:

• Clean and Simple: sketch challenge
• CAS-ual Friday: at least three shades of monochromatic plus brown

Thanks for stopping and hanging in with me. I'll see what I can get done this week. Hope you have a wonderful week.
