Happy Wednesday

Merry Christmas

It is hard to believe that it is the day before Christmas Eve. I have been so busy with all the last minute activities and have had no time to post.



I apologize for not giving you the answers to my last Christmas trivia questions.... they are:
1) What was the shape of the candy cane modeled after? Shepards Crook
2) Which star led the Three Kings to Jesus? Star of Bethlehem
3) When you go Wassailing, what is it that you are doing? Going to visit neighbors & receiving goodies
4) What was pictured on the first stamp printed for the Christmas season? A Rose 5) What was the poem commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas" was originally titled? A visit from St. Nicholas

I have a card in progress but will not have it completed until after Christmas.

Just a reminder to everyone about the holiday blog candy that I am giving away. I have not figured out how to keep it posted at the top of my blog yet so I hope you will check it out and sign up.

I want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas - Many have their own beliefs but for me - Christ is the Reason for the Season. God gave us at Christmas time the most precious gift we could ever get, a Savior. From King James, this is part of the story of Jesus' birth:



^{Luke 2:8} And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
^{Luke 2:9} And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
^{Luke 2:10} And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
^{Luke 2:11} For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
^{Luke 2:12} And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
^{Luke 2:13} And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
^{Luke 2:14} Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Blessings and Hugs

Winter Teddy & Christmas Quiz #1

Morning everyone... hard to believe we are half way through the week already.

I was doing a little Christmas trivia research and found some very interesting and fun facts... one is: In 1962, the U.S.Postal Service first did what? The answer = Issued it's first Christmas stamp. Now I would have thought this would have occurred a lot farther back than 1962.

Here is a little more trivia for you to think about... I will list them today and give you the answers tomorrow.
1) Which country created eggnog?
2) Christmas Ridge is located in what underwater mountain range?
3) How much did it cost to send a Christmas card within the same city early in the Victorian era?
4) This state was the last to declare Christmas a legal holiday?
5) What carol demands figgy pudding?
I hope you find this fun and will come back for more....

Now for today's card. This was a simple card and does not need any explaining, although, I noticed that I missed adding my little white accents to the image. Actually I think I did this on a few of them... have you ever done that too? Oh well, there is always next time. This cute image is from Cuddly Buddly and I liked how the felt border went with the fern background papers.

Have a wonderful day....


Supplies:

Little Santa & Christmas Traditions

Today has been a nice and relaxing day. I started making a flannel blanket and have it all sewn and now ready to tie. It is coming along nicely and I am sure my granddaughter will love it - it has little princesses on it and she is a sweet little princess (at least to me).

Here is a picture of her...


Christmas traditions - what is your favorite Christmas memories or traditions. I think the one that stands out the most for me were the times when we would go over to my parents on Christmas Eve. Now we spent ALL day together, snacking, playing table games and each year the food had a theme. My goodness, it was interesting to see what everyone would bring to go along with the theme. I think two of the most interesting ones was the fondues, now keep in mind, it met all the food group categories. Another one were waffles of ALL kinds and another one were grilled pocket sandwiches, the list goes on and on. They were fun times that I miss. Also my parents would buy a new table game and so we had to try it out... keep in mind they did this for over 30 years so they had quite a collection. Oh the fun times we had.... things are so different now and still trying to figure out what, if any traditions we have - I guess that comes with age and the passing of time.

Now for today's card. I have a little Santa for you. He was just so cute and I had fun adding fabric paint to his outfit, a pompom to his hat and I cut out and 3D his mustache, eyebrows and nose. I added flocking powder on his mustache and eyebrows which created a nice soft feel. The background paper was so pretty all by itself but I added a little more glitter to it. I added Radiant Pearls to the flowers and leaves and some other glittery accessories.

Hope you like him,




Supplies:
CS - DCWV
DP - K & Co
Images - Little Santa (digi) from Dustin Pike, Flowers & Leaves (digi) from Fred She Said

Tilda with Fern Basket & some Blog Candy

A new weeks starts and we have a little less than two weeks left until Christmas - Yikes!! I have 'finally' finished my Christmas cards but will probably make more and stash them away for next year.
Now to start on my granddaughters blanket.

Today, I have another Christmas card for you, this one is for the Just Magnolia challenge - it needed to be a Christmas card and so that made it easy. It is Tilda holding a basket of Christmas ferns... to create that, I punched a bunch of tiny ferns and glued them over the flowers in the basket. I also used a fair amount of glitter all over the card so it is nice and sparkly. I used some 3D stickers, gems and a charm to dress up the card... oh and I can not forget the little Santa hat - it was a bit smaller than I wanted, so I trimmed her hair a little so it would fit better.
The first picture shows the colors better for the second one turned out a bit too yellow.

That's about it for this one and thanks for stopping by.




Supplies:
CS - Pebbles in my Pocket
DP - Unknown
Image - Tilda with Flower Basket from Magnolia
Punches - Branch from Martha Stewart, Spiked flower from Fiskars, Small star from Marvy, Small fern from Cutting Edge

Figure Eight Santa & Cookies

Things are cruising along here pretty well. Hope you are well on your way to completing those Christmas projects.

How many of you do Christmas baking and which one is your favorite? For me, it is hard to pick just one favorite but I will say the good old standbys, chocolate chip, peanut butter and of coarse sugar cookies. Although I love snicker doodles, yum, I will need to put that I my list of projects.

Today's card is using the Stamp for Fun challenge sketch #36 and a new Santa digi stamp I found at Squigglefly. He is skating figure eights around the project, well at least we can imagine him doing that. Again the card is a simple one, I was trying to keep the embellisments flat so it did not turn out as well as I would have liked. I needed something behind the glittery white foam snowflake so I punched out a spiked flower, cut it into quarters and adhered it to the back so that it sticks out. The Flower Soft adds some additional dimension to his outfit.


Supplies:
CS - DCWV
DP - Provo Craft
Image - Figure Eight Santa by Squigglefly
Punches - Fiskars spiked flower, Marvy small flower, Cutting Edge star, Foam snowflake, Flora Doodle flower w/gem center, Flower Soft, Ribbons and Prismacolor Markers

Winter Tilda Hanging Out

Happy Saturday everyone.
We are about to get hit with snow and ice this weekend but luckily, it will all return to our normal rain on Monday.
Hope everyone is well and not suffering with the colds and flu's that are going around. Just found out that my grandson has the H1N1 flu, poor little guy.

I had some time to make a few cards today, some I put a little more time in and others, I was trying to hurry so that I can get my Christmas cards completed. Only 4 more to go.... it costs more to mail the ones with the fancy or bumpy embellishments so I decided to make some that were flatter. I actually found that to be hard to do, since I have been into all the fun accessories.

Well today, I have a card with Winter Tilda, following the Midnight Madness MMSC31 challenge. It is a rather simple card so will not go into a lot of details. I did put Radiant Pearls on the flowers & leaves to create some shimmer, the rest is self explanatory.



Supplies
CS - DCWV & SU
DP- Provo Craft
Image - Winter Tilda by Magnolia
Digi stamps - Flowers and leaves by Fred She Said

Little Bear with Candy Cane

Hard to believe that another week has flown by. We are suppose to start warming up this weekend to a balmy 40 degrees, after we transition through a little snow or freezing rain. I do not plan to go anywhere for I have a ton to get done here.
My goal for the weekend is to finish any remaining Christmas cards - almost done now....
Then finish decorating the house, then I have to get going on the blanket I plan to make for my granddaughter. Plenty to keep my busy.

Today, I have a card using another great template I found on Just Magnolia under (Jane's Lovely Cards) and on her blog, it directs you to Marga's blog (Scrap Some) where you will find the template. I love this one, the actual card front section is a bit smaller than what I am used to working with but there are so many possible ways to dress it up. This is a Christmas card (what else) and I added a LOT of glitter to all the accessories and edging. I did not take a picture of the back but I added a small sentiment and left an area to sign our names. The image is a digi stamp from Dustin Pike, they have some really cute digi stamps and this was a freebie. I found some candy DP from Basic Grey that fit the design and I punched out the center of the "Happy Holiday" sentiment, mounted it on green CS and then cut out one of the little candies from the DO paper and mounted it in the center of the sentiment.... of course, I added more glitter.



Let me know what you think???

Supplies:
CS - DCWV
DP - Basic Grey (Eskimo Kisses)
Image - Little Bear with Candy Cane digi stamp from Dustin Pike & Happy Holidays from SU
Punches - EK Success snowflake & small flower, Martha Stewart branch

Skating Teddies in a Frame...

Morning everyone. Oh Brrrr - it is 'freezing' outside - litterally. Hope you are staying warm where you are.

I love the Christmas season but it sure can take a lot out of you, hate to say this but I will be glad when things slow down a bit after the new year. Although I have to get back to looking for a job.... if you know of any legitimate 'work at home' jobs in the admin/customer service, reporting, etc, send me an email, I would very much appreciate your help.

Now for today, I have been really wanting to try out this new card template that I found on 'Gramma's House of Cards', Sharon did an awesom job - she has the link to where you can find the template. It is a framed card, really fun to do and was surprised to find it was not all that hard to make. Most of it was deciding what papers and embellishments to use. I love these cute digi images from Cuddly Buddly Crafts and could not resist using the Skating Teddies - it is a free digi, so drop on over and take a look at their great stamp designs. I am not promoting them, I just really like their cute images.
On the bears, I used green Radiant pearls on the holly leaves, red fabric paint for the holly berries and liquid applique for the white fluffy areas on the hats. I do not own one of those great snowflake border punches from Martha Stewart so I punched snowflakes, added glitter to them for added sparkle and placed them around the frame. I also added glitter to a larger foam snowflake and punched a Martha Stewart leaf and then punched mini holly leaves and glued them to the other leaves, these made my own holly leaves branches ...a very pleasant discovery . The recessed area of the card, I have a graphic of some trees and snow (for the life of me, I can not remember where I found it), I added glitter to the snow for added sparkle.
The inside of the card is fairly simple and color coordinated.



Hope you like it and I really enjoy reading your comments....

Supplies:
CS - DCWV
DP - Basic Grey (Eskimo Kisses)
Image - Skating Teddies from Cuddly Buddly, Tree graphic - unknown
Punch - EK Success snowflake
Others - Liquid Applique, fabric paint, Radiant Pearls, Stickles glitter glue, ribbon, foam snowflake, gem, Prismacolor markers and Floral Doodle (inside)

Cherry Kisses Christmas

Another day and here we are. My head has been swimming with all the things that I need to get done, so I wrote them all down. Now I am checking them off, my goal is to see how many I can get done today... wish my luck - LOL.

Today, I am using this adorable image from Tales from Pollycraft. When I saw her, I thought of pink and blue... I used some embellishments that are covered with shimmery glitter. I also made my charm out of a blue heart shaped bead. I put some flocking powder (Martha Stewart) under the snowball to add a more snowy effect.

Let me know what you think?



Supplies:
CS - DCWV
DP - Provo Craft & DCWV

Tilda with Sparkly Hood

Hope everyone is having a happy Saturday. I ventured out today to pick something up from the craft store and was prepared to tackle the crowds, but was pleasantly surprised to find the stores like normal - that was a relief since I am not a fan of crowds.

I have another Christmas Tilda card for you today, following the Friday Sketchers #80 challenge. I just love this particular Tilda and I decided to put glitter on her hooded trim. It really dressed up the outfit so I added a little more down on her coat. The button are actually very tiny black pompoms that I glued on. The flowers were made with shimmery red CS and then added gems & crystal snowflakes for the centers. It is hard to notice but I used yellow paint for yellow dots on the poinsettia's.


Supplies:
CS - DCWV
DP - Provo Craft & Basic Grey
Image - Tilda with Hood by Magnolia
Punch - Leaf by Martha Stewart
Others - Glitter glue, yellow paint, black mini pompoms, gems & crystal snowflakes

Bronson Star

A warm 'hello' to all on this wonderful day and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

Today officially kicks off the Christmas season - even though it has been in the stores these past two months. Now to bring out the decorations - that will be interesting for we have two new cats, they are 7 months old and very active. I need to figure out 'what' decorations to put up that they will not get into - if that is possible - LOL!!

Today I have for you a Christmas card using an adorable digi image from Tales from Pollycraft. I just love this bear.. the star has glitter so it shines, I used white iridescent paint for the snow and snowflakes, white flocking powder on the hat and mitten. The background paper has wonderful shiny red details so I made shiny accents with punches. The same with the inside.... this picture does not do the card justice.

DP - K & Company

Hootie Pie Christmas

Hello everyone. I assume by now, you may have thought that I had given up my mojo challenge. Actually, I was very busy with other commitments and did not have time to get into my craft room. I really did miss it. Well I think that I am back into the groove but with the holidays fast approaching, I will need to divert my attention to getting ready. So my posts may be a bit, hit and miss but, I hope that you will stop by to see if I have anything new.

I like to blog hop and see all the amazing cards that everyone makes... so many talented people. One thing that I noticed are the wonderful background papers that so many use. So I decide to take the plunge and order me some. They came and I am in Heaven..... now I have to decide which one to use first - LOL.

Today I have a Christmas card (you will be seeing A LOT of these) and followed the Friday Sketchers 79 challenge. I just love this cute owl from Pink Cat Studio, called Hootie Pie. I added white Flower Soft on the hat to give it dimension and a little shimmer. I also put glitter on the branches and little snowflakes - it is hard to see it. Naturally 'after' I had it put together, I wanted to add another layer on my flower but it was too late.

Hope you like it, let me know what you think?

Tilda Day Dreaming.....

Hope today finds you all well and happy.

I seem to be losing some of my mojo for I am struggling with coming up with some 'wow' cards. I play around with different things but just cannot come up with anything that makes me think 'wow'. So today, I have a 'so-so' card to show you, I kept with a Christmas theme. I made my flowers, Cuttlebugged to create texture and inked the edges. I created a frame for Tilda so that she can pop out more, added pearls around it and it is speckled with white but it is hard to see. I love this new border punch (well at least it is new for me) from Martha Stewart.

Well that is about all.... I would REALLY LOVE to hear from you on what I could have done to make it a 'wow' card.


Supplies:

Penny Black Christmas Kitty

Well another week has zipped by and I am looking forward to the weekend, it will be a busy one as usual.

Today I made a card for the Penny Black Saturday #73 challenge... it was to be all white on white. The image could be colored but the rest had to be all in white. I made a larger sized card for I wanted to use this adorable Christmas kitty. I used my Cuttlebug to add texture to the CS and punches for flowers and borders.

Christmas Ice Cream Cone

Hope this finds everyone well and happy. With this swine flu going around, I am almost afraid to go to the stores but my craft stores are calling me.....

Today I made a card using Tilda in Christmas colors and some new flower digital images from Fred She Said for the Digital Tuesday Challenge at Fred She Said. They were fun to color and layer. I did add silk leaves and a trimmed down dark red silk flower on the bottom and then put the digital flower & leaves stamps on the top. I also painted them with Radiant Pearls to give them some shimmer and a soft yellow pearl in the center to finish it off.

Lily in Red & Green

Good day to you all. I found this adorable digi stamp at Pink Cat Studio. They have some really fun designs to use. I like the way you can adjust the size to match the card you are making.
This time I used colored pencils and it did not turn out as well as I would have liked...I think I will go back to my Prismacolor markers. This card is for the MMSC25 challenge, I used the Fleur De Lis Spellbinder die and cut it in half - I liked how it showed some of the background. I added pearls to the center of the flowers which fit right in with the background paper. It is hard to see but I used Liquid Applique for her 'muff'. To follow the MMSC design, I needed a buckle but I did not have one so I used something else in my stash to create a similiar look.


Hope you like it, let me know what you think?

Snowflake Tilda

It is sure raining here in the Pacific NW and snowing in the mountains. I am hoping that we do not get early snow like last year.

Today, I made a card for the Just Magnolia challenge. For some reason, I seemed to find it hard to decide which DP to use and whether to layer them or not. I guess we all have those kind of days. I used the snowflake Cuttlebug to create the texture on the white scalloped oval. You can purchase both of these at 7 Kids College Fund. I used a combination of punches to create the floral snowflakes.
My camera was not cooperating with me, so it has too much glare and a tinge of yellow. This is something I need to improve my skills on but you will be able get the idea.



Supplies:
CS - CTMH

Christmas Cardinal

Hope you had a good weekend. Mine was a bit on the sad side for I attended my brother in law's memorial. He was such a wonderful person and it is hard to see someone get sick and pass away so soon. He was greatly blessed with a lovely wife and a fantastic son. He lived his life with a testimonial to God and it carried through until his last days.

Now onto my card for today. It is for the MMSC24 challenge. Whoa, that was a hard sketch for me to come up with what to do. I decided to turn it on it's side.


I wanted to make it a Christmas theme, which you will see more of. I used the Spellbinder to create the basic shapes and the rest was coloring and a little bling. I did not get a chance to complete the inside....will do that later.


Let me know what you think?
