Top Trio Card

woooo hoooo... great news that I saw this morning on the 365 card challenge blog.. I was picked as one of the top three trio of the week for my JOY card this past week... such a nice surprise.. thank you!!!

Altered Family Frame..

We had a secret santa exchange at work, and I found out my person loves her family.. so I thought, she's gotta have tons of family pics.. so I altered a wooden frame and titled it Family.. I used one of the Scenic Route lines, that I just love and kinda has that vintage-y feel.. of course had to add some flowers and ribbon... so this is what I created..

A Fun Tag

Here is a cute recipe that I created for a gift tag for a present at our work's secret santa exchange.. I used the recipe from Day 291 at 365 card challenge blog. The recipe: Gift Tag - any size, 1 Ribbon, 8 Rhinestones and/or pearls, 1 Sentiment (in any form), 1 piece of patterned paper (any size), 2 Buttons... It actually coordinates with the altered frame in the about post..

In Groups of 3's...

For a fun sketch challenge at Sketchy Thursday blog.. it was all about 3's.. which is good I LOVE working with that number.. 3 PPS from different manufacturers/ lines: mine are from Fancy Pants, Prima, and Sassafras.. Cluster of 3 different embellies: chipboard, button blossoms and glazed brads... so here is my take on it:

MY OWN SKETCH:
CARD:

Jingle Bells Card

I have to admit I was at first a bit challenge by this sketch at 365 card sketch blog for the sketchy Sunday sketch for day 281 but once I broke into it.. it was very fun.. Here is my take on it:

Peace Card

today I've been busy making Christmas cards, I am VERY behind... so here is my PEACE card for the challenge at 365 card challenge blog to use the word Peace on your card, day 285..

Also used it for the MSW challenge by Audrey to choose from tic tac toe.. I choose 2 ribbons, 3 PPS and stitching:

IC Card Sketch # 46

Here is my take on the latest of the IC card sketch that was posted today, for sketch # 46.. Just LOVE this line from Basic Grey, it's an older one, but the 6x6 pad makes for great card making.. I thought the Heidi Swapp blinged out flower was the perfect holiday accent and the Elle's Studio die cuts are perfect for a sentiment..

IC Card Sketch # 45

I would in love with the new IC card sketch and whipped out this fun card.. LOVE the KI clear paper and how it just grabs the ink too.. not messy and it stayed on... Also had fun blingin out my wreath for some non typical Christmas colors...

upclose wreath... decked out bling style:

My Sketch World Dec 1 Sketch

Gotta check out the fun new sketch from Lucy for the Dec 1 sketch reveal... She posted a card and layout sketch.. Here is my take on the LO.. finally used some fun Fancy Pants Christmas papers from last year. I took the kids to finally go see the Nutcracker last year and they just loved it...

Upclose details... those Making Memories holiday flowers are my FAVE right now... I'm almost out too..
