Some more Christmas Cheer!


Okay, I'll tell you a little secret - I stayed up too late last night playing! I made 3 cards but then fell into bed so I have a few postings today!



This card is another "all scrap paper" card! I'm loving it, however, my scraps must multiply at night because the boxes don't seem to be getting any smaller!



I did a lot of embossing on this card, I hadn't done much for a while and now I'm kinda hooked again.....hmmmm....a least all my "stuff" isn't going to waste.



Anyway, challenges, here it goes:









2.) ABC Christmas Challenge - O is for Ornaments






3.) Pixie Dust Studios - Forest Green/Cranberry and Christmas






4.) Cute Card Thursday - "Get A Head Start"

Stockin Up On Baby Thank-Yous


Since the day is quickly approaching, I figure I should keep stocking up on the Baby Thank You Cards! This one works for 4 different challenges! Not too bad!! Plus - I managed to make it with all scrap papers! Why do I even bother to buy new papers when I have SO many scraps? It must be an addiction!!


Okay, here are the challenges that this card works for:






3.) Paper Sundaes - lots of layers


4.) Stamp Something - anything digital

"Kickin' It For Michelle" Card Drive


I have a special card to post this morning, it's for Michelle Oatman from the Spoon Full Of Sugar DT. She had an accident recently and needs some cheering up. Sooooooo, there is a challenge/card drive over at A Spoon Full Of Sugar for her. The challenge is simply to make a card and send it to Michelle. There are links to freebies that you can use. This adorable little guy is a freebie from MelJen's Designs. There are also tons of generous prizes that different companies have donated! So, by making one card, I have done something nice to hopefully brighten Michelle's day AND got entered to win tons of prizes! As my grandmother would have said "it's your good deed for the day"!

This card is also for the Papertake Weekly Challenge and follows their sketch.

I want to be Suzy!

Right about now, I'd love to be Phindy's "Sudsy Suzy". I can't remember the last time I got to take an uninterrupted bath! I made this card for 3 different challenges, I think it makes the perfect birthday card.

The challenges that this card covers is:

1.) Phindy's Challenge Blog: Embossing - I though Suzy needed some embossed flourishes (plus, I got to use my new MS flourish stamps!)

2.) Crafty Sentiments Challenge: Sketch - this sketch was pretty simple but I like the way it came out!

3.) MelJens Challenge: Circles Galore!: I used a circle for the sentiment and the bubbles are pretty circular if you ask me!

OWH


I just finished 2 sets of 8 Halloween Cards to send to Operation Write Home! I think they came out pretty cute! One set uses a pumpkin stamp from Stampin' Up! the other uses a cute little witch from The Greeting Farm. I will do a third set with another character from the Greeting Farm, they're easy to color!! The only problem is that they won't fit in this box so I'll have to get another box ready soon!



The deadline for Halloween Cards for OWH is Sept. 20th - you still have plenty of time!! There is more information about OWH in my sidebar if you are interested - it's a great organization!!!
