Peace on Earth

Howdy ya'll!

Yep, you guessed it!  Another Christmas card. lol  I was off yesterday, so I put together a few cards that I'll share with you this week.  To tell you the truth, submerging myself into making all of these cards has helped me keep my mind off of the trajic Ben situation.  It's still very painful.  Anyway, here is the next one.

I'm having a difficult time at my new place, finding a spot to take my photos outside.  I think I'll just have to make due with what I can find, for now.  Maybe I should check into a light box.  Now there's an idea. lol  Anyway, I've combined the below challenges into this card.  Loving this one too! :)

Just Us Girls #91 - Sketch

Bows & Berries #9 - Kraft

Hooked on Crafts #2 - Flowers

Make It Monday #44 - Anything Goes

Craft Your Passion #65 - Anything Goes

Creative Stamp Friends #28 - Dots

I'm back at work today, boo!!  I wish I could stay home and play with all my stuff everyday.  That would be the life. lol  Hope you have a good week!

Hugs!

Happy Fourth of July ya'll!! 

A huge thank you to all of those who serve, and their families.  I am grateful for the sacrifices you make.  How has your holiday weekend been?  Have you celebrated?  I was bummed that I wasn't able to make it to any of the fireworks on Saturday or Sunday, but I'm hoping to make it to the fireworks tonight.  Guess we'll see how that goes. lol

I have another Christmas card for you today.  This card was inspired by my sister, who chose the colors.  Here is what I came up with.

Totally non-traditional.  Totally loving it!  I have to say, everytime I break out the distress inks, I fall more and more in love with them.  I'm going to have to figure out how to create a spot on my desk for them so that I can use them more often.  I think the background stamp is one of my new faves from Hero Arts too.  I absolutely love this!  I've combined the following challenges into this card.

Anabelle Stamps - Say it with Frames

Stampin B's #117 - 2 Die Cuts & Paper Piercing

Last But Not Least June Challenge - Create your own stamped background paper

Our Creative Corner - Christmas In July

Stampin Sisters In Christ #96 - CAS

CHNC #27 - Pink and or purple (hopefully I used enough pink)

Card And Scrap #12 - Dies

Clearly Inspired Challenge #31 - Die Cuts, Punches, Cut Outs

Prairie Fairy #56 - Swirls & Pearls

I hope you have a great time enjoying the fireworks in your area!

Hugs!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #31

Hi everyone!

Are you enjoying your holiday weekend?  My sister and brother in law are visiting for the weekend, and we've had a blast!  We have been total bums, bbq'd, sipped margaritas by the pool, and have have visited the shaved ice stand frequently.  Ahh, total bliss! lol

Enough about that though.  I have another Christmas Card Challenge project for you.  This week the challenge is:  T'was the Night Before Christmas.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

When I thought about the challenge this week, my mind went towards vintage.  It might not be your normal vintage, distressed type card, but I do like it none the less.  I owe this design to the amazing Jill Foster.  She's fabulous and I kinda cased THIS card.  I love how it turned out.

This week is the start of our new Design Team at the CCC.  I hope you'll head over and check out the wonderful cards that are posted.  They're all pretty fantastic, as usual.

Stay safe!  Hugs!
