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!

Peace Love Joy

Hi!

I got some time to play with a couple of challenges on Sunday afternoon and am happy to create something just for fun.  Here is what I came up with.

Sorry that the photo is a bit brighter than normal.  My usual spot was already in the shade by the time I got home last night.  I will have to make sure to remember that as the year moves on.  I combined the following challenges in my card:

The Ribbon Girl Color Challenge #12 - Lilacs & Greens
One Stitch At A Time #85 - Emboss It (the white panel under the round sentiment is embossed, but I used the debossed side, inked up in lavender and green)
Card Positioning Systems #241 - Sketch
Pile It On #43 - Be Happy

That's all for me today.  I'll be back soon with another crafty post soon.
Hugs!

Drunken Stampers Challenge #77

Hola!

So, I'm behind once again.  In my craziness last week, I totally forgot to create a project for this weeks Drunken Stampers challenge, which went live on Saturday.  I guess the month of October is just going to be my "off" month. lol  I hope to get it together by the time November arrives.  Anyway, this weeks challenge is pretty cool.  The challenge is books.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I got this stamp at Hobby Lobby recently and fell in love with it.  Don't be surprised if you see it again, frequently. lol  My card came together rather quickly, once I had decided on the colors and layout.  I'm really digging the lace with the chocolate ribbon up top.  It's very pretty.  I've combined the following challenges into my card:

Lily Pad Blog - Sketch
Stampin Sisters In Christ #112 - Theme of Time (I used the Clockworks embossing folder on the top blue strip)
Corrosive Challenge #135 - Flying Things (of course, I have butterflies on my card)

I do hope you'll head over to the Drunken Stampers blog to see everyone's creations and maybe play along.  We had some wonderful participation last challenge, and look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge.

Have a great day!
Hugs!
