Swiss Pixies Santa Birgitta

Here is my card today for KL Stampin n Scrappin. I just adore these pixies and to me, she looks like she's wearing cute jammies. Though it's a week old by now, I also used Eat Sleep Stamp Sketch #61 for this card.

Paper: Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses
Stamps: CC Designs, sentiment is PTI
Snowflake Punch, PTI Button, Crystal Stickles, Nestabilities, and Copics


The Blind Side was a great movie. I want to read the book now, as I'm hoping it'll tell more about what happened to him as a child. I heart Sandra Bullock, so I'll see anything with her. Brent isn't so much a fan of her, but it was a sports movie, lol. He total enjoyed it too regardless. New Moon was good, but exactly the way the book was. I hated this book because Bella was so depressed and it totally dragged on, lol. But the next book of the series was my favorite, so I'm excited for all the action to come in Eclipse.

I hope you all have a great Monday! It's back to work for me...though I wish I could have 4 day weekends all the time. :)

Christmas Card Challenge Week #52

This image of Santa pulling Ruldoph always cracks me up! I got this image from Wish RAK last year. I started this card out with Jen del Muro's Sketch For You to Try, but didn't quite make it there. I know it's kindof a busy card, but I hope that whoever recieves it will enjoy the humor in it.

So, since this is my last challenge for 2009, again any Christmas, Holiday, or Winter card is good for this challenge. I have already made a list of challenges for 2010, so starting next Sunday, I will start my Christmas cards for 2010! I hope that you will all play along with me!

Paper: Making Memories Misletoe
Stamps: High Hopes, sentiment is PTI
Snowflake Punches, Copics, PTI Buttons and Crystal Stickles

Henry Celebrating

Here is another card I made for my co-worker Yvonne. Since her granddaughter is turning one, I thought this would be an adorable cupcake image to use. Though its a little modified, I also used Amy's sketch (Sarah's daughter) for this card.

Paper: SU Razzleberry Lemonade
Stamps: Whiff of Joy, sentiment is Amuse
CTMH Brads, Copics, Crystal Stickles, Nestabilities, Prima Flowers, American Craft Buttons


I do all of my Christmas shopping on Black Friday and I always get excited for the crazy day. Since I'm not capable of sleeping early, each year my recovery time from lack of sleep gets longer and longer, lol. But I'm happy to say I am completely done shopping and I got some great deals. I was a good girl...didn't buy anything crafty for myself. :) I was really tempted with the Walmart ad for the Cricut stuff.

It's Nona's birthday on Monday, but we're celebrating a little early. A group of us is going to dinner and then crafting at Nona's. I will be addressing all of my Christmas cards. Every year my brother and I helped my parents seal all the envelopes and stamps with a wet sponge. That was back when they didn't have self-sealing envelopes and stamps. Gosh, that makes me sound old. :)

Everyone have a wonderful Saturday!

Howdy!

I hope you all (Americans) had a great turkey day! I'm still in the mist of working on cards and haven't had time to photograph anything. I'm one of those crazy Black Friday shoppers, so by the time you see this, I'll be mad dashing between people and carts, lol. I promise to have some artwork for you soon! Maybe after my shopping nap...
