Christmas Wishes!

Hello friends! I hope those who celebrated enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving. We had a nice cozy dinner with our son, daughter-in-law, Sweet P and my parents. Then the bad news... Joe came down with Covid the following day! So far everyone else is good, but our boy is feeling rough.  Taking it one day at a time and keeping everyone in our prayers. 

Since we stayed put this weekend, I do have a cute little card to share. This one fits in over at Time Out Challenges. I picked embossing and movie. I would say this represents two; The Santa Claus or Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

I used another of those cute Santas from Lasting Impressions along with some of their gray gingham paper cut with an old SB label die. I popped them onto a polka dot embossed panel and dressed it up with glittery gold holly leaves (PTI) adorned with rhinestones. I added a simple Memory Box Tab sentiment and it was good to go!

Stay healthy, my friends... tis the season.

And now for our next challenge!

What a perfect WORD Carol has chosen for this week's Just Us Girls challenge! We've already had a taste of winter with a snowy start to our week. Thankfully, it didn't stick around! I did put some of that snow on today's card though! Take a look...

I popped a snowy embossed panel (SSS) onto a gray gingham covered card base. Next came this cutie patootie Santa from Lasting Impressions. GAH... I love his polka dot beard to bits! I tucked a few BPD pine sprigs behind him and finished things off with a MB sentiment tab. Something tells me the price of sleigh rides has gone up a tad though!

How does the word WINTER inspire you? I look forward to seeing your creations in our gallery!

Just Us Girls #799 ~ Merry Christmas

Hello, friends! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. This is an easy one, CASE any member of the design team! Pop over to the blog, check out the cards and then have fun. Speaking of fun, check out this cool dude on my card!

Isn't he a cutie! He's from Lasting Impressions. I fussy cut him and popped him onto the WF snowflake background. I used a retired Poppystamps Scalloped Frame and a few PPP snowflakes. A simple sentiment by MB and a few rhinestones finished things off. 

How about a bonus card today?

The sheet from Lasting Impressions has more than one bear on it. I used the smaller pair on this version and just switched up the background and frame (RC). More PPP snowflakes and another MB sentiment worked here too!

We do hope you'll play along this week at Just Us Girls.

If you're chosen as our winner, you have a chance to guest design with us!

Just Us Girls #796 ~ Trick or Treat!

Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Sue has chosen HALLOWEEN as her Word Week challenge. I put together a little something for Sweet P!

I used some Lasting Impressions polka dot paper to cut a PTI pillow box. It's decorated with layered circles stamped with DeNami Design images. A few snippets of ribbon, twine and a button for decoration and it's good to go.

You know, I don't know if Sweet P likes candy corn, but I do know she'll like the Reese's Pumpkin that's tucked into this box!

Okay friends, it's your turn now. 

How does the word Halloween inspire you? 

FMS #704 ~ Deck the Halls!

When I saw Michele's sketch for Freshly Made Sketches with all of those polka dots, I knew I had to play along! Of course my first instinct was to recreate the polka dots, but then I went in a different direction. 

I used a trio of fussy cut ornaments by Lasting Impressions. Some die cut winter berry sprigs from Simply Graphic were tucked under them. Next, I stamped a few tiny ornaments from the PTI Love Lives Here set and little dots from Stamps by Judith. The sentiment is also PTI. It's from the Bells and Boughs set.

Now that I look at it, I suppose my ornaments look like big and small dots. Then I did manage to get the little polka dot trios in there too. Those berries kinda look like polka dots too, don't they? Okay... I couldn't help myself! Off we go to the gallery!
