Holiday Goodie Box

Hello and Happy Holidays!
I hope you're staying warm and enjoying all the people and things that make this season so wonderful!

Today's challenge at The Pink Elephant is ANYTHING GOES, so I decided to grab my favorite BY LORI DESIGNS Snowman and prepare a little holiday goodie box!! I hope you like it and that you'll play along with us at TPE for the next 2 weeks.

Have a wonderful Holiday, however you celebrate.
Love and Blessings,

TPE Photo Inspiration

Hi Friends!
Hope you all had a great weekend!

I'm back with today's challenge #230 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's time for a PHOTO INSPIRATION! All you have to do is use the below photo as inspiration for your card or project and submit your link on the TPE BLOG.

For my card I haven't used any stamps! I decided to go with this paper from Teresa Collins (one of my faves that I can't find any more!) and pair it with a little garland and holiday cheer! Here's wishing you and yours a wonderfully Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for popping by! Be sure to check out the inspiration from all of Ella's Girls over at TPE! Hope you'll join us!

December DDD

It is the 15th of the month and that means it's time for another Dueling Darlings challenge! Our hostesses for December are Kelly for the Divas and Jeanette for the Dazzlers. Kelly and Jeanette challenged us this month to make a Christmas card with our choice of two beautiful images.

Kelly sent us Divas such a fabulous kit with lots of yummy papers and embellies! It was so hard for me to choose which to use! I love the end result though and I'm already thinking of someone very special to send it to.

This is my absolute favorite time of year and I love that Kelly and Jeanette gave me another reason to celebrate it with this card! I hope all of the Dueling Darlings have a wonderful Christmas and I am so thankful for each of those ladies. Please stop by their blogs and give them some love.

Jolly Christmas

Hi Friends!
Hope you all had a great weekend and are geared up for the first week of December!

I'm back with today's challenge #228 over at The Pink Elephant and this week it's time to think of WINTER! All you have to do is use WINTER as the inspiration for your card or project and submit your link on the TPE BLOG.

For my card I've used this festive stamp from By LORi Designs. I just LOVE him and can't help but think of Dodger from Charles Dickens, "Oliver Twist," whenever I see this sweet stamp. Check out the fun stamps HERE and start getting your holiday craftin' on!

Merry and Bright

Hello and a very Happy Thanksgiving to those of you living in America! May your time today with family and friends be blessed and may your bellies be filled with wonderful comfort food. :)

It's round two of Deconstructed Sketch #128 and there's still lots of time to create something fun and inspired!

I used another stamp from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps that comes from the Moonlight Whisper line. Her name is Merry and she's cooking up a bird for the holidays! The papers are from Echo Park Reflections and Merry is colored up with Copics.

I hope you'll play along with us at the Deconstructed Sketch!! Be sure and pop along the list below and see who's created something for round two.

Happy Winter from Ollie

Hi Friends!
I'm back with another fun BLD creation for you today, as promised!! Is it snowing where you are at? We haven't seen a flake here yet, but we are definitely bundled up for Winter like my feathered friend here!

I've used Ollie the Owl who is NEW from By LORi Designs! Isn't he adorable?

Thanks for stopping by! AND Be sure to visit all of the BLD Girls and see all the Fabby Creations!

Give Thanks

Hello and a good Monday morning to you!

I'm back with today's challenge #227 over at The Pink Elephant and this week the challenge is to be inspired by a BE THANKFUL theme. All you have to do is create a card or project inspired by this theme and submit your link on the TPE BLOG.

Here's my card that I was inspired to make from the Crafter's of Faith group I was in (and now am an honorary member). The beautiful cornucopia stamp and sentiment are from Our Daily Bread. I heat embossed the stamped image and carefully colored the inside using Copic markers. I say carefully, just to share that since Copic markers are alcohol based, they will smear an embossed outline. And that's one of my only tips--now my knowledge is your knowledge. :)

Thank you so much for popping by! Be sure to check out the inspiration from all of Ella's Girls over at TPE! Hope you'll join us!

Snowflakes

Happy Thursday!
I've got another fun card for you using this week's Deconstructed Sketch #128! And this is a 2 week sketch so you've got plenty of time to make 1, 2, 3 or more cards! :)

I used a a fun winter stamp from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps that comes in a set called, "I'm Snow Happy". And the awesome papers are from Basic Grey. Added 11/23: AND this week the Saturday KKS challenge theme is LET IT SNOW! So get out your KKS stamps and join in on the snowy fun!

I hope you'll play along with us at the Deconstructed Sketch and at Kraftin Kimmie stamps too! Be sure to check out the fabulous creations!

See you back here in 2 weeks for the first Deconstructed sketch of December and next week for another fun KKS challenge!

And happy 15th of the month! It's time for another duel between the Dueling Darling Divas and Dazzlers!

This month Tami is our hostess for the Divas and she challenged us to use the above tag and create a masculine card. We were also under the instruction to let the tag stand alone and add our own corresponding image and sentiment. Tami sent these super fab papers and gave us a variety of colored tags to match with our manly card.
When I saw the tag, I couldn't help but think of the outdoors, so I went with a fisherman's theme and will tuck this card away from my step-Dad, who looooooves to fish.

We were also encouraged to share a story about a man in our lives and I will share about an instance that happened with my step-Dad last week. My sister and I are both married and have our little families and life gets busy, so we make a point to make time for each other and usually get together once a week. Last week we decided to save some moolah and just meet at our parents' house. Well, our SD, got wind that we were coming over and when we got there he had prepared a feast for us! He was so excited to cook for his girls and we were very touched.

Be sure to check out what all of the Divas and Dazzlers have for you today and THANKS for popping by!
