Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge-Anything Goes

It is time for another challenge over at Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge, this week Patty is challenge is an easy one, Anything Goes.

I used Winter Crocus from Mark's Finest Papers. The crocus are colored with copics. If you play you have a chance to win a stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, and if you use a stamp from MFP you will get your name in twice! Thank you for stopping by. I need to keep this post short as I still have much to do for Christmas and to top it off I am having an allergy attack, yuck. Thank you for stopping and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.

Pocket Card

Hello I hope you are having a wonderful week and are getting all of your shopping, wrapping and baking done. As for me I have the shopping and wrapping done, and I hope to get a big jump on my baking this afternoon. Now you didn't come by here to hear about my Christmas progress. I have a pocket card I made to show you today.

I used Celebrate The Season from Gina K Designs and illustrated by Theresa Momber. I will be using this as a gift card holder. I was able to work in several challenges into this card. The first one being Case the DT member on StampTV, this time is it Giovana that we were to case, I choose this card. I keep pretty close to Giovana's original card, I changed the image, designer paper and I matted the insert. I am also entering this into the challenge listed below.
Can you believe that Christmas is in only three more days?  Thank you for stopping by.

Challenges

• Outlawz: Celebration
• Just Us Girls: Red/Olive/White/Kraft

Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge-Christmas Card

For this weeks challenge over at Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge is from Patty and she picked a Christmas card.

For my card I picked the church from Christmas in the Country from Mark's Finest Papers. After stamping the church I very little coloring, mostly highlighting. Then I masked off the church and using a circle I punched out to mask the moon I sponged the sky. Finally I added a few stars. I hope you can find a little time between shopping, wrapping and holiday baking to play along with us this week. If you play you have a chance to win a stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, and if you use a stamp from MFP you will get your name in twice! Thank you for stopping by.

StampTV's CSS Alumni Treasure Chest Blog Hop

Welcome to the last stop on today's CSS Treasure Chest Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from the very creative and crafty Carolina.  Today's Treasure Chest Challenge is to make a Treat Holder with a Christmas or New Year's theme.  I have been wanting to make a cone treat holder for a long time so this was a prefect time for me to do so.  Now there isn't much stamping on my holder, just the sentiment, so I made a little 4" note card to match.  I used Very Merry Christmas from Gina K. Designs. Here is what I came up with.

Here is a picture of the treat holder.  The candies really pick up the light so there is a glare.

 

 Here is a picture of the card.

 

Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (December 13), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!
If you came here without hopping you can start at StampTV.  I hope you have enjoyed hopping through and can paly along with us.  Thank you for stopping by.

I am also entering in the following challenges

• Let's Ink It Up: Christmas projects
• Cute Card Thursday: Anything Goes
• Joan's Garden: Show us your Christmas card

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Hello, We are in full Christmas mode here. I was able to get a big chunk of my Christmas shopping done. The house is nearly done with decorations and I have a couple of Christmas projects done. Before I show you my card and ornament I have a bit of news. I am so thrilled to be a Guest Designer for this weeks Try a New Technique on SplitCoast Stampers. This week the challenge is to use buttons to create something Christmasy or wintery. I went with Christmas.

I hope you can join us this week and pull out those buttons (you know you have them) and make something fun. Thank you for stopping by.

Blue and Silver Christmas

Here is a super quick card I whipped up today for a challenge over at Paper And .Such The challenge is no coloring, well those of you who know me that is a real challenge for me as I love to color. I had fun with this and it is always good to brake out of the rut sometimes. And to top it off I have another Christmas card made.  I used Festive Frame from Gina K Designs embossed it in silver on blue.   I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
