Saturday Paper A La Mode....

HI!
Is everyone getting excited about Christmas? I am!! My oldest daughter Brittany is moving back home to Michigan right before Christmas! I can't hardly wait....it will be so nice to have everyone fairly close to us again!
Ok, so today is the start of a new challenge over at Saturday Paper A La Mode! The challenge is: "Funny Christmas", and we are sponsored this week by BUGABOO. The image I have used for todays card is: STELLA MAIL PACKAGES...I thought this was the perfect image/sentiment for this weeks challenge!

Thanks for stopping by-I hope you will join us, and 

Thank You Bugaboo for this image!!

Remake with The Cutting Cafe

Hello!
This week at THE CUTTING CAFE, we are recycling....either a jar or can.
I had this can that I had previously recycled...but it needed a new look! With Christmas almost here-you always realize that you really should have been saving ahead! So, I made a "remake" for just that purpose! I used THE CUTTING CAFE file: Christmas Basic Shapes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Winter Sketch Challenge over at CARDZTV......

This week over at CARDZTV Sketch Challenges: Make a winter card using either sketch 7 or 8.
 I used sketch 7 and CardzTV Stamp set: Winter Cheer....isn't that little snowman just the cutest?

Here is a peek at the stamp set

Sorry I haven't been around much-I have been busy busy busy working on some things to sell for a craft fair this weekend...and I only found out about a couple weeks ago....but it will be fun, none the less!

Saturday Paper A La Mode

Hello!
It's time for a new challenge over at Saturday Paper A La Mode....the challenge is an easy one, Anything Goes!  Our sponsor this week is Eureka Stamps, and I have used this fun image: Christmas Cow.

I have used the Embossed Gift Card Holder Die from My Creative Time, and the sentiment is from Cardz T.V. stamp sets

Come and join our Anything Goes challenge!!

The Cutting Cafe Inspiration

This week at THE CUTTING CAFE, it  was a free week for the dT, so we could use any file we wanted!! I thought the SNOWMAN TREAT BOX would be fun with Christmas getting closer and closer( and fast)!! 

Isn't he just cute as can be? 

What a fun way to give the teacher, or bus driver, or anybody a little Christmas Cheer!

I used a Peachy Keen stamp for his little face, and added a snowflake on his hat,rather than using the cut-outs from the file for his face, but that is the beauty of The Cutting Cafe...you can personalize your projects with your own items as well!!

Hope you will stop by THE CUTTING CAFE BLOG in the next couple days to see what the rest of the DT came up with to share with you! I know Regina was having server issues, so I am not exactly sure what day/time it will be.

Don't forget too, that THE CUTTING CAFE SHOP has tons of crafting goodies, and clear stamps...you can even order your own personalized Custom Clear Stamps!!

CardzTV Sketch Challenge...

Hello!
Today we start a new sketch challenge over at CardzTV---use either sketch 5 or 6 (sketches can be found on Mary's blog: HERE) and make it a Thanksgiving Card.
I made this card using more of the embellishments I went through lately..trying to re-organize my room..and I really need to start using these up, and I thought this turkey was a cutie!
The sentiment is a CardzTV stamp from the set: FALL FUN.

Do you remember singing this song in school? I do!

Come join in the challenge!

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving Day!!

Saturday Paper A La Mode....

Hello!!

Oh my goodness, I just love this little Penguin! 

It is a digi image from a set by DigiStamp Boutique and is called Teeny Penguin Set.

This image was perfect for the new challenge this week over at Saturday Paper A La Mode--which is SNOW-- "add some snow or frost to your card".

For my card,I also used:

Ds papers-The Homemade Christmas stack-DCWV

Cardz TV stamp sets-"Snow Day" and "Naughty or Nice"

Gelly Roll Pen

Snow Marker

Buttons from my button jars

Copic Markers

Ribbon and Twine from my stash

Pearls for the middle of  the snowflakes

Lucky Limeade for distressing

Thanks for stopping by--hope you will join our challenge!

These are so much fun!!

This week our inspiration over at THE CUTTING CAFE- is: GABLE BOX! 

Yikes, I think I am in trouble! These were so easy and so much fun...that I can see lots and lots of GABLE BOXES in my future!! I made up two of the Mini Gable Boxes, (there are bigger ones on the file too) and decorated them with some stickers I have had for a long time, and I just love how they turned out!! These will be perfect for something little for my Grandsons teacher and her assistant right before Thanksgiving break!

They would also be perfect for the mailman, the garbage guy, your hairdresser.....as a little Thank you for your service at Christmas or any time of the year! 

OR ya know what they would also be perfect for? Baby showers, or you could even use these adorable little boxes as decorations with names on them for your seating arrangements....you get it-the possibilities are endless!!

I hope you will stop by THE CUTTING CAFE BLOG on the 7th to see the rest of the DT inspiration!

And don't forget, you can now get clear stamps, and tons of other amazing crafty items over at

  THE CUTTING CAFE SHOP

too!!
