Red & White Christmas

Good morning, I have been making Christmas cards, in hopes of being ahead this Christmas. This card was made using Verve Holly Jolly and O Christmas Tree. I heat embossed the poinsettias and colored with copics. I added tiny pearls to the center, they are really gorgeous! I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using the nesting labels. I then took bling and and placed them so that it show cases the Merry Christmas. I used some different dp's some beautiful red ribbon and a little scoring to complete my Christmas card. Have a fabulous day peeps, it is Friday......finally!

I created this Birthday Wishes card for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge CIC30, I used the Verve set called Enjoy. I paper pieced the party balloons, added silver beads, and some blue fiber. A pretty simple 4 x 4 birthday card. I wanted to share Rachel's store link with you it is called Hope Stamps Eternal and it has lots of wonderful stamping supplies. You can get all the latest designer papers and embellies, head on over and check it out!

I have had a slammed packed week and the weekend is full of lots of fun stuff too. I am doing a card workshop, I have two Christmas cards I will be sharing. I have also been helping with the planning of our church Harvest party so it has kept me busy this week too. I have not been able to play along with any challenges. I hope to squeeze a few in this weekend. I hope you are gearing up for the weekend, enjoy the last weekend in October.

Christmas Cocoa Tags

Good morning, I am so very happy to be sharing these little gift tags with you. These where made using stamps set from Verve.

I used the SU tag die to make the shape. I used various stamp sets, Christmas In The Air, Frosty Flakes and Holly Jolly. I used ribbon, silver beads, buttons, SU Dazzling diamonds glitter for embellishment. I think these are sooo adorable. You can make them to match your Christmas packaging, I do that. I like for all the Chrsitmas paper to match. Now the cutzie little gift tags you see in the stores that cost $3.00 a piece can be your for a lot less. I hope you have a wonderful day, it is only one day away from the weekend.......yeah! Enjoy!

My card creation today covers several challenges, the first one is the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge SSS27, you can play along and load your creation here. This was a fabulous sketch, I kept my main panel straight rather than on an angle. I used a Sweet 'N Sassy set called Pray Without Ceasing, there are lots more scripture stamp sets over at the Sweet 'N Sassy store, check them out!

I also was inspired by this beautiful necklace from yesterday's IC203 and that fits perfectly with the new challenge I discovered called Just Us Girls JUGS4, to use a 3D flower. I made a paper flower using different designer papers, distressing, and crinkling. I added a button and twine to the center to finish off my flower. I hope you have a wonderful evening and enjoy your time with family and friends!

Verve Sneak Peak-Believe

Good morning, it is time for the first Verve Release Sneak Peak, I am so very honored to bring to you the peak of the new set Believe. This set is to honor those woman who have suffered and survived Breast Cancer. This set is full of fabulous fonts and sentiments.

Verve will be donating $10 from the sale of every Believe set to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. There are very few lives that haven't been touched in some way by breast cancer, and we believe strongly in giving back...in making a difference...in keeping up the fight to find a cure. Believe will be available for purchase along with the rest of our release immediately following our Release Party this Friday night.

I used one of the blossoms from the set and colored it with copics and outlined it with a glitter pen. I put one single silver bead in the center. I stamped the sentiment "Survivor" and added the famous pink ribbon with a row of silver beads. I added black checkered ribbon with a button and twine. I used two different dp's and left the black showing under the dp. This is also one of the sketches the Julee has designed, if you play along and load all your creations here, you will go in the drawing to win free Verve. You can learn more about the sketches here.

Good morning, I am usually at work, but I am home this week on vacation. Dh and I went away for a couple of days to VA Beach. Friends of ours have just purchased a condo at the beach for get aways and they have given us the option of going and staying when we like. What a blessing that is, we luv the place and it is only about 30 yards from the beach, this is a picture I took the morning we left, isn't it gorgeous....it was very cool.

Well, for today's' card I used Sweet 'N Sassy Happy Harvest stamp set, aren't the images adorable?

I then added some of my favorite embellies, you guess it.....pearls. Doesn't it look like a shelf in your home with some deco on it?
