2012 Christmas Card Challenge Week #10

Hiya!

It's crazy around here today, so this is going to be short and sweet.  I'm going to meet a friend for lunch, and I'm trying to get ready for Super Bowl.  I have to bake something for the gathering I was invited to, but I may not make it, if I don't get it in gear.  I've updated my blog a bit.  I couldn't pass up using this template, it's called "Stephanie".  Perfect! :)   

I have my next Christmas Card challenge card for you.  This weeks challenge is to create your own background, of any kind.  For all of the details, click HERE.

I wanted to really showcase the background I wanted to make, so I kept this very CAS.  It's lovely, isn't it?  Blue is my favorite color, so it's no wonder I reach for it often.  Thank goodness blue and white is a great winter color combo too.  I think this is the first card I've made in a long time that didn't have a Nestie or embossing on it.  I guess it didn't kill me not to use them either. lol  I've also combined the following challenges in my card.

Crafty Contagion - Winter/Snow

Card Patterns #151 - Sketch (my loose interpretation)

Jellypark Challenges - Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland - Blue & White Color Combo

I do hope you'll head over to the CCC to see what my friends have made today.  They're adorable, as usual!

Stay crafty my friends!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #48

Greetings ya'll!

So another week has gone by, and we're at the end of October already.  Is it just me, or has this year gone by faster than last year?!  Good Lord, what the heck?  No wonder I feel like I'm rushing around all the time.  Time keeps moving faster and faster, and I'm left with tons of stuff left to do. lol  Anyway, you're not here to read about me complaining.  Onto this weeks Christmas Card challenge, which is: Liquid Applique.

For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I struggled a bit when trying to come up with a card for this week.  Ultimately, it turned out quite cute, but there isn't much liquid applique on my card.  I simply used it to create the marshmallows in my hot chocolate.  I thought the idea was pretty good, but not sure I'm digging the fact that I feel like I dropped the ball with this weeks challenge.  Bleh.  I guess it's not the end of the world. lol  I've also combined the following challenges in my card:

Inspirational Card Sketch #137 - Sketch
Play Date Cafe (PDCC#105) - Kraft/Taupe, Flesh, Cadet Blue
Alphabet Challenge Blog - T for Tea Time (I have a teacup on my project)
Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - Food & Candy (I have a drink, hope that's ok)
Lily Pad Blog - Texture Challenge (I've got lace, twine, and the paper is both embossed a bit and has glitter, and the liquid applique, hope that fits)
Sew Many Cards #72 - 2 different background papers
Winter Wonderland - CAS

I do hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to see what my friends have created for you today.  They're all just adorable! 

Have a great day!
Hugs!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #41

Greetings to all!

I apologize for the late post this morning, but I didn't get home in time yesterday to get a picture of my card for today.  I spent the day with a wonderful group of ladies, cropping for a cause.  The money raised yesterday is going to benefit Meals on Wheels.  I love it when I can hang out with my friends and crop, while helping to raise money for a good cause.

This weeks challenge is: Vintage.  I love this idea.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I absolutely love the Santa from this MME Christmas collection.  Unfortunately, I used the other sheet of this patterned paper last year, so this is it for Mr. Santa making anymore appearances. lol  I've included the following challenges into my card.

MFT Wednesday Sketch - Sketch (my loose interpretation)
Winter Wonderland - Santa Clause is coming to town.

I hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to see what everyone has created today.  They're pretty awesome, if you ask me.

By the way, I just thought I'd share another picture of what I've asked Santa for this year.  This seems like a good opportunity to share. :)

I think he'd make a fabulous addition to my home decor, wouldn't you agree? *wink*
Hugs!
