Another Happy Holidays...

I am starting this crazy busy week out running for sure! My sister and I just got back from a super fun weekend in Kansas City! We got to shop shop and more shop! I got to see my WOSFF, Barb where she works at the Scrapbook Page (LOVE that store!). We also did some shopping at the Legends...yes I love that place, too! And then on Sunday we went to the American Girl store...LOVE again! Can't wait till Rylee gets under the tree, Christmas morning! ;)

So anyway, just had a few minutes this morning before I start back on all of the other projects for the week! Here is a quick CAS DeNami creation...



I love these trees! There are too cute! AND I purchased a Stamp-a-ma-jig this morning with my 40% off HL coupon! Why didn't anyone tell me how fabulous this thing was? It takes stamping with rubber to a whole new world for me! (Yes I have never had one! I must have been hiding under a rock!)



The trees are colored with Copics and then sparkled with Stickles...love that stuff!  I used some Zig glue for the "snow" glitter at the bottom!

So that is it for today!  Hope you all have a fantastic week!  I may be back but I don't know for sure!  I have Grandparents Matinee tomorrow, school programs, Wednesday night church, Thursday more stuff...on and on!  I won't bore you with that list!  (I told you Rebecca....busy busy!)  Hope you have some down time this week to get crafty!  Have a great day!

DeNami Tag Blog Hop

Welcome to the DeNami Tag Blog hop! Just in time for Christmas you can hop around with us and get some tag inspiration! I know there will be lots of amazing creations here today!

If you are following the DeNami blog, you just hopped here from Tammy's blog!

Here is my tag using a fabulous (and my favorite) DeNami snowflake stamp! 

I found these boxes last year at Hobby Lobby on clearance, so I bought several! I have had alot of fun decorating them and this snowflake is definitely my favorite!

I covered the snowflake (stamped in Fresh Snow) with Crystal Stickles! I love the sparkly effect!  The outside edge of the tag is some faux stitching with a white gel pen!

This is definitely a CAS tag and so easy to mass produce!

So, your next stop on the blog hop is Laurel Seabrook !  If you want to go back to the beginning of the hop, just go to the DeNami blog!  Stop by there to see about the prize you could win!



Supplies

Stamps: DeNami Snowflake and Happy Holidays sentiment

Curtain Call Color Challenge: {Act 59}

This is my second post for today so you can scroll to see the first one if you like!

I am here again today with the Curtain Call Color Challenge! When I saw Stacey's inspiration photo, I knew exactly what I wanted to do! I always "build" my cards in my head before I make them and this photo gave me inspiration right away!

So here is my card....

I don't know if you can tell but the woodgrain has white in the grooves.  I inked up my IP with Fresh Snow and then ran the gray paper through the Big Shot.  Just like Stacey's picture, it looks weathered! 

For the leaves, I lightly inked up one of the leaf stamps from PTI's Turning a New Leaf and stamped the image on the back of this Bo Bunny paper!  Then I cut out the image and glued the stamped side down!  Then I added some bling and a little ribbon treatment! 

What a fun color combo!  Thanks for coming by again today!  I always appreciate when you can visit!  Have a fantastic weekend!  Join me back here Sunday for the DeNami blog hop!  :)

An attempt at a challenge...

So Michelle over at our Paper Dolls blog, issued this challenge...

"My challenge to you is to create a holiday card or project using non-traditional colors. That doesn't mean you can't use red, green, gold or silver. You just have to incorporate a surprise color in your creation."

So of course, I see first that it is OK to use Red...which I use ALL the time and can't stop using.  So great RED it is...then what color to go with it?  Well, I am sure this doesn't count....I used green.  Not traditional green but still green!  SO I had good intentions!  But here we are with a Christmas colored Christmas card...

And YES....Argyle again!  I told you I couldn't put it down!!

I think this layout is one I use over and over!  So CAS and pretty versatile for a stamped image or just a plain sentiment!

So back to the drawing board!  Michelle...I am going to try again till I can get the challenge right!  :)

Have a great day!
