You're an Angel!

Hello, hello!

Thanks for stopping by.  I do hope your week is going well, so far.  It's a crazy week for me this week, so I'll have to make these short and sweet.  Gotta love it when work interferes with my crafting time. lol

I'm really, really trying to step outside my comfort level "box" and make more CAS cards.  I think I pulled this one off pretty well, even though I feel the need to add more to it. lol  Love these colors together too.

I've combined the following challenges in my card today:

Case This Sketch #30 - Sketch (challenge is closed, but I really wanted to use it)
The Play Date Cafe #185 - Magenta, Teal & Light Gray
CAS-ual Fridays #104 - Banners and/or Flags
Hiding In My Craft Room #101 - Super Scraps (the banner pieces are scraps)

I hope everyone has a great day.  It's off to work for me!
Hugs!!

Use It Tuesday Challenge #26

Hi ya'll!

I hope your week is going well, so far.  It's been crazy, go figure, around here and we were closed at work for inventory yesterday and today.  I've got some catching up to do on Wednesday now for sure. 

I have another Use It Tuesday project for you today.  My fellow UIT DT member, Heather, has just welcomed her beautiful baby girl, Claire, into the world.  Thanks to this wonderful event, we're celebrating with this challenge, which is, All About Baby.  For all of the details, click HERE.

I always struggle with masculine cards, but this weekend made me realize that I struggle with baby cards as well.  I had NO clue what to do for this challenge. lol  Then I broke out the distress inks, like I always do when I can't figure out what else to do, and this is the result.  I dig it.  I used an older striped background stamp to add some dimension, and i used up some hoarded patterned papers and a stamp set I've had since last year but had yet to ink it up.  I think this will go to my best friend Drew and his wife, who are expecting their first baby...a boy.

I've combined the following challenges in my card as well:

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #153 - Sketch
Paper Sundaes #109 - Circles
Scrappy Frogs - Die Cuts
Play Date Cafe #120 - Baby Blue, Orangecicle, Basil

I hope you'll head over to the Use It Tuesday to see what my friends have created for you today.  They're wonderful!

Hugs!

Peace, Joy and Love

Hi everyone!

I do hope you had a wonderful holiday and weekend.  It's back to work for me today, and I'm dreading it.  I have been gone and can only imagine the piles of stuff that are waiting for me to tackle on my desk. lol

I got some extra time to create some more stuff, just for fun.  If all goes well, I'll have something posted two or three times this week.  Here is my first card.

I love the very non-traditional look these colors give to this Christmas card.  If you know me, you know how I love the non-traditional colors for my cards at Christmas time.  It was a bit challenging to get everything how I wanted it, but all in all, it turned out pretty well.  I've got another card to add to my pile, and that's all that really matters.  I've combined the following challenges for this card:

Unscripted Sketches #134 - Sketch
Crazy 4 Challenges #115 - Snow
OCCC 11/26 - O' Christmas Tree (include a Christmas tree of some sort)
Crafty Contaigon Challenge 11/26 - Leftovers (use your scraps, just about everything on my card is a scrap of some sort)
PDCC #108 - Maroon, Copper, Tumeric (I got as close as I could)
Paper Sundaes #97 -  Winter Wonderland
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #140 - Anything Christmas

I hope you have a good week.  I'm off to get ready and make the dreaded drive to work on a Monday after a holiday. lol  I'll be back soon with another something crafty.

Hugs!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #48

Greetings ya'll!

So another week has gone by, and we're at the end of October already.  Is it just me, or has this year gone by faster than last year?!  Good Lord, what the heck?  No wonder I feel like I'm rushing around all the time.  Time keeps moving faster and faster, and I'm left with tons of stuff left to do. lol  Anyway, you're not here to read about me complaining.  Onto this weeks Christmas Card challenge, which is: Liquid Applique.

For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I struggled a bit when trying to come up with a card for this week.  Ultimately, it turned out quite cute, but there isn't much liquid applique on my card.  I simply used it to create the marshmallows in my hot chocolate.  I thought the idea was pretty good, but not sure I'm digging the fact that I feel like I dropped the ball with this weeks challenge.  Bleh.  I guess it's not the end of the world. lol  I've also combined the following challenges in my card:

Inspirational Card Sketch #137 - Sketch
Play Date Cafe (PDCC#105) - Kraft/Taupe, Flesh, Cadet Blue
Alphabet Challenge Blog - T for Tea Time (I have a teacup on my project)
Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - Food & Candy (I have a drink, hope that's ok)
Lily Pad Blog - Texture Challenge (I've got lace, twine, and the paper is both embossed a bit and has glitter, and the liquid applique, hope that fits)
Sew Many Cards #72 - 2 different background papers
Winter Wonderland - CAS

I do hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to see what my friends have created for you today.  They're all just adorable! 

Have a great day!
Hugs!
