Merry Christmas!

 

Happy Tuesday crafty friends. I cannot believe that it's the 10th of November already - I swear, the older a person gets, the faster the time flies by! LOL 

I had the opportunity to take some much needed down time this past weekend and spent it crafting and visiting with my bestie, Leanne. She has an UH-MAY-ZING craft room and we had a lot of fun creating, giggling, drinking coffee and dreaming of upcoming projects! 

We decided to pick a challenge and do it together so we found this awesome sketch for November from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown:

And here is my card I made for the challenge:

 

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you get a chance to get crafty this week! Cheers!

Birthday Wishes - A Cut Above

 

Happy Monday! I am back with another post for the "A Cut Above" Creative Team! 

If you aren’t familiar with A Cut Above, we share monthly challenges that are all about die-cutting. The challenges are always anything goes - with the condition of at least one die cut used (defined by using a die cut machine, manual or electronic, not a purchased pre-fabricated die cut).

Since World Cardmaking Day is this past Saturday, October 3rd - we are offering up 2 gift cards - details on the main challenge post :)

I had some scraps of designer paper and gold cardstock in my stash so I decided to do a bit of heat embossing to add some shine to match the gold in the DSP. The Birthday Wishes stamp and die set is from PinkFresh Studio and the leaves die is from an older die set from Craftin' Desert Diva's. I really love the bold font. 

Here's a close up of my card:

That's my card for this month's challenge - thanks for stopping in. I do hope you will join us! We would love to have you! Cheers!

Pearly Sparkles Challenge #123 {Trick or Treat}

Welcome back! It's time for another monthly challenge at Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog! Our challenges are always posted the 1st of the month and you can use whatever crafty supplies you have. It's such an awesome time for us to use up our stash(es) that have been tucked away for a while ;) 

PSC #123 - Trick or Treat  

This challenge can be Halloween themed, or just anything that is a "treat" for you - a favorite product you like to use to get creative, a treat as in a sweet treat, whatever you desire. I don't really make Halloween cards, so I went with my favorite season's colors. Fall is such an amazing time for color. The rich colors of red/rust, orange, yellow, green and browns are all so beautiful this time of year! 

This is a card from a Fall kit from Simply Cards. Here's a close up of my card:
