Holly Jolly Christmas ~ Karen's Sweet Sketch
Happy Monday!! It's the first official day of holidays for me and I'm loving it!! My son made it home safely and now there's just a bit of baking to do and the tree to decorate. Today's card is for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I deviated from it a bit...that top strip wasn't supposed to go all the way across, but mine does :) I used a new piece from my PTI Holiday Cheer pack and some sheer ribbon. I must say it's the most fun to tie with and I love the shimmer on it :) I can't get enough of my button bits ornaments...they work on any shaped panel :) I don't need anymore Christmas cards, but I can't seem to stop making them!! I may have to wait until after the 25th to make anything else!! LOL I hope you all have a lovely day...thanks for dropping by during your busy day...only 4 more sleeps!!

Ink: SU basic black

A Christmas Thank You ~ Embellish Colour Challenge

Good evening, everyone! The house is decorated (minus the tree which comes tomorrow), there is fresh snow outside and my son is coming home tonight...now it feels like Christmas!! Today's card is for the Embellish colour challenge. The yellow really threw me off and I kind of took the easy way out limiting its amount on the card. Oh well!! LOL I love this glittery snowflake diecut cardstock and thought the yummy chocolate ribbon would look nice against it. Oh, and yes, wide ribbon is difficult to tie! I fiddled with it for a while :) The sentiment was pretty lonely so I blinged it up with 2 rows of rhinestones :) I hope you are having a lovely evening.

Your Love Keeps Me Warm ~ Mercy's Tuesday Sketch


There is no sentiment as I didn't know where to add it so I printed it on the inside. Please excuse the boring inside stamping...I usually leave my cards plain inside as the outside uses up all my creativity! I made my own sentiment "Your love keeps me warm," by printing it out in Word and leaving room to stamp the "love." This saying is perfect for my husband as he is HOT (no, literally!! He's an oven) and I am cold (feet and hands only!! LOL). He keeps me warm all winter!! LOL And loves me to pieces :) {insert another loving heart here!} Yes, there are some girly elements on his card, but hey, I'm a girl and the Bella represents me :) The card below is the one I made him last year. It uses the retired SU stamp from Nice and Narrow...I love this set and still have it :) The sentiment is from the Leann Rimes song, "All I want for Christmas." Again, I just printed it out from a Word document. Inside it says, "'cause all I want for Christmas is you."

Well, that's all for today! Thanks for stopping by! Up next is the Viva La Verve sketch and then I'm going to attempt an Embellish card!! Yikes! Hope you are staying warm (if you want to!) where you are :)

What's in it?
Stamps: snowbunny Bella, PTI heart prints and heartfelt sentiments
Ink: Versafine onyx, SU bordering blue, creamy caramel, river rock, pretty in pink, rose romance
Paper: SU baja breeze; PTI ocean tide, white, sweet blush; cosmo cricket dp; watercolour paper

A Merry and Bright Snowflake ~ Mojo Monday!

Wow! Is this sketch fantastic or what? I was so inspired I had to make a card right away (that and the fact we are taking the computer in tomorrow and won't get it back until the weekend!! LOL). The hardest decision was which yummy paper to use!! This delicious piece of Eskimo Kisses won out. I must keep telling myself that there will be new and probably even more yummy paper next year. I wanted to make another snowflake medallion which made me wonder where to put the sentiment. So up above the ribbon it went punched out with the SU curly label punch. A few little bits of bling and there she be! My dh has already claimed this card for his mom!! LOL Thank goodness for prescheduled posts...I have one more for Wednesday and then hopefully will have the computer back....nothing serious, the DVD player just needs to be reinstalled. Better to do it now while I'm working rather than when I'm off. I have the new SU digital studio that I want to play with over the break. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!! I appreciate it so much :) Oh, and thanks for all the kind comments about my mom's card yesterday...I think she will love it too! {smiles!}

We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Good afternoon!! Wow...it's been a busy couple of days, but in a good way. Our song at the Christmas concert was a hit and my dh's Christmas party last night was SOOOOO much fun. His company is in a different town...about an hour's drive away....so we drove out after I got off work and stayed the night there. We danced and laughed with this coworkers and just had a blast. There is just a little bit of snow falling so the roads are still good, but the flakes make it feel more Christmas-y...just the way I like it. Today's card is for the Viva La Verve sketch this week. I find I am starting my cards with paper lately and then picking a sentiment and accessories. How can I not with this delicious paper? Wouldn't you start with these too? LOL I may have Christmas patterned paper withdrawal in January!! This paper is from the Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly pack. I love how the papers coordinate so there's not a lot of guess work when matching them :) The little felt poinsetta is from Hero Arts. Isn't it sweet? Some stitching, embossing and bling and there's my card. Did you notice it's square? LOL Yes, I stuck with the sketch and made a square card. Perhaps I'll give to a coworker so it's not going very far :) I hope your Saturday is going well. I'm off to finish some more cards for a set someone at work ordered. Then onto more of my own Christmas cards :) Thanks for popping by!!
