Christmas Card Challenge Week #35

Hi ya'll!

How is everyone today?  Are you having a good weekend?  I certainly am trying.  I have to work today, so I'm not enjoying the six day work week too much.  lol

It's Sunday, which brings us to another Christmas Card Challenge.  This week we have a wonderful sketch made for us by the lovely Peggy Toole.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.


I really liked this weeks sketch, and think I'll probably use it a few more times.  I'm going to enter this into this weeks OCCC, which is a color challenge of red and aqua, and this weeks challenge over at Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge (#66), which is anything but ribbon.  I used twine. 

I hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to see what everyone has created for you today.  We're getting closer and closer to Christmas.  Have you started your Christmas cards yet??

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs!

Recycling

Hi ya'll!

It's another HOT day here in the Dallas area and I've done nothing but stay inside and do as little as possible.  I had a migraine this morning, and even though I don't get a massive headache like most, I do lose vision in my left eye, preventing me from driving.  Fortunately, my eyesight has returned, and I was able to do one crafty thing today.  Check it out.


I found this piece of honeycomb looking cardboard in the recyling at work, and ideas immediately began to swim around in my head.  I wanted to do something with it so that I could show people at work what I had used it for, and this was my result.  I'm going to set it on one of the shelves in my office at work.  It's interesting how something that was considered trash has become one of my favorite scrap projects now.  I'm off to take a nap and then cook some dinner.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #34

Hi ya'll!

I hope you're having a good weekend.  Mine has flown by, and I haven't really accomplished much. lol  It's all good though.  I got to spend some time with someone special, which made my weekend. :)

Sunday brings us another CCC!!  This week the challenge is Plaid.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.


Most of you know that I don't normally go for the traditional red and green Christmas color combo, but I'm kinda diggin it, due to the plaid paper I had in my stash.  I used this weeks Sweet Stop sketch (#118) and like how it turned out. 

I do hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to see what the other designers have created for you today.  I'm pretty sure you know by now that they're all fantastic. :)

That's all for me today as I am headed to clean the pool, and get ready for a bbq.  Hope you have a great day!
Hugs!
