Christmas Stampin' All Year Long- Challenge #6

This week Maria provided a wonderful sketch with a twist. Our card could only have one embellishment on it and the chosen embellishment was eyelets! You had to use at least 3 eyelets but could use more if you wanted.

If you haven't already visited the Christmas Stampin' All Year Round Challenge Blog, you really should go see all the wonderful inspiration over there! Each week a new challenge is posted and it helps me get my Christmas cards done early. I don't know about you, but last year I was scrambling to get them all done and it stressed me out!

This is the card I created...



This Tilda is a Magnolia stamp that I got in the Winter kit. I just think she's adorable and need to ink her up more!

Challenge #5- Christmas Stamping All Year Long

Well this is week number 5 for the challenge divas over at Maria's Christmas Stamping All Year Long. This week we were given the instructions to use the colors purple, pink and blue and to use the sketch shown.

These colors don't sound like they'd make a good Christmas card, but I love them together!

My image is Tilda with cap from Magnolia stamps. I am so in love with these stamps. You all will probably get tired of seeing them on my blog!

The DP is from a Christmas stack I got at Michaels. I used Stampin Up cardstock for my base and accenting cardstock.

Week 4- Christmas Stamping All Year Long

Today was our reveal day for this week's challenge sketch over at Christmas Stamping All Year Long.

The sketch above was created by Maria, our fearless group leader. She does an awesome job each week of motivating and inspiring us to create our Christmas cards early!

This is the card I created for the challenge.

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long- Challenge #3

This is the card I created for the challenge this week at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long Challenge Blog. Maria created this blog and a group over at Paper Craft Planet to inspire us to make our Christmas Cards early!

Each week we get a sketch to go by and then upload to the blog. I'm one of the challenge divas and I'm really enjoying this. Here's the link to all the cards the other divas made. Check it out and leave some love if you can!

Superbowl Sunday.... Congrats To The Steeler Nation!

Well it's Superbowl Sunday.. Who are you rooting for? I haven't felt good all day and have been laying on the heating pad most of the day with those dreaded monthly cramps. UGH!

My best friend Kelli has a Superbowl Party every year and I skipped out on her tonight cause I just don't feel like do much of anything.

I am excited about finally getting my craft room! I've got all my stuff moved into my son's old bedroom. Saturday, my husband, son and I installed some kitchen countertops in the room for my workspace. I spent all day yesterday organizing my shelves, the closet and patiently waiting until I could put things on top of the countertops.

I will take some pictures of my craft room soon so I can share with you all. I've still got a few things to do, like hanging things on the walls..but everything is in so I'm happy!!

I have two cards to share with you tonight. The first card I used my Tilda with heart from the Holiday collection. I going to use this as a Valentines Day card even though it's not your traditional colors. I colored her with Copics and used my Scalloped Oval Nestabilites and the Houndstooth Cuttlebug embossing folder. The DP is from DCWV. I added ribbon I got at Michaels.




Now.. the second card I have to share is for a new Challenge Blog that I just joined. Christmas Stampin All Year Long is a great way to get you Christmas cards done early! Each week, a sketch is provided and you make your card from that sketch.

This is the sketch for this weeks challenge:



This is the card I created:



I love this Santa image. The DP is from My Mind's Eye Glitter Christmas Glitter Pack. I added the three snowflake brads..aren't they cute???

Thanks for stopping by!! I will have more cards to share this week!
