Happy Holidays!

Today is the first day of our Holiday Celebration! So if you are an Angel, head over to Paper Wings for a week full of challenges, prizes and lots of inspiration!

I am hosting the color challenge today! The colors are Red, Brown and White or Ivory! Here is my sample using these colors:


This card looks alot like a card I did for the snowman blog hop! I just love the look of the distressed edges! (Did I say that out load?) The red bow is my favorite! Quick and super simple!

What do you think?

March of the Snowman Blog Hop

I received an email recently from my sweet friend Melisa, asking me to be apart of a "Snowman Blog Hop"! How could I say no?

I collect snowmen and love putting them out for Christmas! I did realize, though, that I don't have very many snowman stamps! I can't wait to check out the rest of the stops on this Snowman Blog Hop, just to get some more inspiration and see what stamps I can't live without!

When you are done checking out my creations, go to the end of this post and click on the links to take you to the other stops in this hop!

This first card turned out so fun! I love the snow background and of course, the nesties!

This card is my favorite! I love the antique look! And of course the red and kraft....if you follow my blog, you know what I am talking about! ;)

Here is one more ridiculously simple card! White cardstock, stamp, black pen red pen. That easy! But kinda cute I think!

Hope this gives you some ideas for your own holiday cards! Now don't forget to check out these other stops on the Snowman Blog Hop!

Super easy with white Tombow pen stitching and some red vinyl Thickers! What do you think?

Hope to see you December 5th for some amazing Holiday project ideas!! :)

Just a little Joy!

Had to share a few things here today that make paper crafting so much fun!

First off....nesties! Love them! This card is just two layers using the biggest nestie from Labels 1. Then I folded a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 whit card base and attached it to the back.



Second fun thing....PTI cardstock and matching ink! This is Ripe Avocado cardstock and the image is stamped with the matching Ripe Avocado Palette Ink! And the button matches perfectly doesn't it? This is the most fantastic 110lb paper ever!! (if you are a paper junky like me....you know what I mean!)


And then the stamp! This is from TAC's Joy of Christmas! I just love those bold images that can make a super fast and simple card! I colored in the white space with a Clear Gelly Roll pen and it makes for some fantastic sparkle!

I thought these would make great little cards for gifts or even for place settings at a Holiday dinner! Possibilities are endless!

Hope your day is a good one! Thanks for stopping by!
