Christmas Poinsettia

Hello Stampers! This is the last Tuesday Throwdown challenge for this year. The DT is taking a break for Christmas to spend time with our family. It is fitting to make this Christmas card for this week's "What Christmas Means To Me" challenge using Meljen's Stamps. Christmas to me is all about Christ, love and family.

Joy

Hello Stampers! I hope you're getting some ideas for your Christmas cards this year. This is another Christmas card I made for A Scrap 'N Place. I used Authentique papers and added a variety of ribbons on top. 

CCM DT Showcase…Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers! I am sad to say that this is my last CCM DT Showcase. I am stepping down to concentrate on my business. I have enjoyed being a part of the CCM DT. The owners and DT ladies were a joy to work with and their stamps are so CUTE!!! I will miss using it. For my last card with CCM, I am using adorable image from the Baking Fun set. Baking gives me so much joy.

Christmas Tag

Hello Stampers! Our kids started Thanksgiving break this week. It's so nice to relax, stay up late and sleeping in. I wish we could do this all the time, but that's not to be. Over the weekend, DD and I went to our local stamp store for the Holiday Open House. I went to pick up some white cardstocks since I am fresh out. While there I did a make-and-take, let's just say this is not exactly as the sample. This is what happens when they leave stuff for me to play with :-)

I used black paint to paint the lower a large portion of the the tag, then I stamped the image and sentiment using white ink. I then embellished it. Super quick and easy tag.

PYC…Thanksgiving

Hello Stampers! It's Thanksgiving week and I'm so happy to be able to sleep in this week and hangout with my family. Our kids are out of school all week so it's going to be busy but fun. This week's Parade Your Crafts challenge is all about Thanksgiving. This is such a wonderful time of year to reflect on the all that we've been given and to be especially grateful for blessings large and small.
Onto my projects. I created a cake treat holder and a card to match using Authentique's Natural collection from The Paper Parade.

Holiday Cheer

Hello Stampers! Today I am sharing a paper-pieced Christmas card done for A Scrap 'N Place. I used a variety of Authentique patterned papers for the tree.

CCM DT Showcase…Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers and a Happy Friday! Today I made this birthday card using CCM's Baking Fun stamp. I colored in the cake roll using Copic markers and added ribbons to the tag.
