Winter Mittens

A quick card to share today that I made for the new Color Spotlight Challenge Gina has on Stamp TV.  I used the stamp set Winter Mittens and more patterned paper from My Mind's Eye (I Believe collection).  The green brad is from a gift I received from my Secret Sister who sent me some MME brads and ribbon to match the paper I had...thank you so much, looking forward to finding out who you are :o)  

Hoping to get a good start on my Christmas card designs this weekend.  My goal: make them ALL this weekend.  Will see how much I get accomplished, lol! :o)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Winter Mittens wrapping

A quick gift idea to share today using Winter Mittens... Along with the stamp set, I used some My Mind's Eye I Believe patterned paper and wrapped up a jar of Apple Butter.  The mitten and label were stamped and die cut with Spellbinders.  A nice quick way to dress up a gift of canned goods :o)  Obviously I need to really start thinking of gift giving ideas and kicking myself for not buying more Apple Butter while we were at Carter Mountain Orchard the end of October...  I am not a jelly/butter maker, don't know the first thing about it (I know, that is just sad).  But I guess I could wrap up some Smuckers, hee-hee!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

BIG News!!!

I have been sitting on a BIG secret and somehow I managed to keep my lips sealed...yes, it is possible, lol! ;o)  Gina asked me to join the Gina K Designs Design Team, eeeekkkkkssssss!!!  So very excited and quite an honor to be amongst the talent of the current team and those that are joining the DT with me.

I do have a  project to share using Nina's Heirloom Ornaments:

I loved the card Nina made (HERE) for the release party and just had to try it myself.   In addition to Heirloom Ornaments, this card also features the worded background from Vintage Backgrounds, and the sentiment is from Fanciful Tags.  I started making this card using  Gina's sketch today over on Stamp TV...however, not thinking it fits now due to my ornament, lol!  The patterned paper is from the new Christmas line from Graphic 45.

Now who all is joining the GKD team you may ask....
Here they are:

AJ Otto

Carolina Buchting

Carolyn King (Yes! She's back as a DT member!)
Colleen Schaan

Deb Felts

Giovana Smith

Janice Whiting

Michelle Woerner

Super excited to be joining these talented designers and huge thanks to Gina K for asking me to join, too!

Winter Mittens

Well, I know I said I wasn't going to post anymore...but eeks, just had to share a card I made with this cute set Winter Mittens.  I used some more My Minds' Eye patterned paper from the I Believe collection and even managed to make one layer crooked....I feel it is all balanced with the mitten, lol!  I am notorious for wanting things "even and straight" and anything cock-eyed makes me cringe.  The mitten coordinated with the Spellbinders Nested Mittens dies.

I also wanted to let my blogging friends know that on Monday
