2012 Christmas Card Challenge Week #14

Happy Sunday!

I'm excited to share my next Christmas card with you.  This weeks challenge is Embossing, wet or dry.  For all of the details, click HERE.

I normally tend to go for the non-traditional colors, but these papers have been in my stash for a while, and I really wanted to use them.  Also, I did emboss, I promise!  It's just all covered up under everything else.  And, did you see my "straight" stitching?!  I'm rather impressed with myself this time.  I haven't really practiced much.  The sewing Gods must have been with me when I sewed on that piece. lol  I love the look of this card, with the lace and all of the details.

I've combined the following challenges into my card today:

The Crafts Meow - February Sketch
Top Tip Tuesday #71 - Stitching
Emerald Faerie Garden #19 - Embossing
Creatalicious Challenge #31 - Lace
Ribbon Carousel #42 - Anything Goes (must have lace, ribbon, twine, etc.)

I do hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to everyone's cards.  And yep, you guessed it, they're pretty fantastic!

Hugs!

For Kelly...

Hi everyone,

I got a phone call yesterday from my best friend in San Antonio, Kelly, with word that her mother had passed away on Tuesday.  Even though I had only spoken with her mother a handful of times, I knew she was a wonderful woman.

Judy messaged me on Facebook a few times to ask a few questions about papercrafting, and to let me know how beautiful she thought all of my projects were.  Only knowing her a short time, I feel blessed to have had her kind words, and support.  I know that Kelly, and her family are hurting right now, but I'm hoping that the sentiment in this card holds true.  I didn't want a lot of "fluff" on this card.  I wanted it simple, and meaningful, and I think I've accomplished that.  I know they'll appreciate it. 

If it's not too much to ask, would you please say a prayer for my friend and her family in their time of loss?

I appreciate each and every one of you!
Hugs,

FYI Challenge #25

Hello!

I apologize but I don't have a project for my FYI challenge today.  I do, however, have the inspiration photo to share with you.

Isn't it gorgeous?!  I absolutely adore this photo.  *happy sigh*

I hope you'll head over to see what my Lovelies have created for you today.  Maybe you'll be inspired and play along with us this challenge.  You can find all of the details HERE.

Hugs!
