Thank You

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We were busy and sick but it was still fantastic. I am looking forward to 4 more days with family and friends before everything goes back to normal again. There was not a lot of time left over for crafting or blog hopping this week, but I wanted to share something new. So here's a fun little image I got for Christmas. Iused some K& Company papers and colored her with Copics. Quick post as we are getting ready for a play date:) Best wishes for a safe and Happy New Year!!! See you in 2010!

Whimsy Advent Event ~ Day 23!!!!!!

ETA:: WINNER.....Dawn Frost said...

I love the raccoons they are adorable! My favorite thing that's happened so far is being able to spend so much time with family this year.

Email me with your info and I'll forward it along to Denise!! Congrats and Happy New year!!!!

Where did this month go????? It seems like just yesterday was Thanksgiving and now we are 2 days away from Christmas!!! I am happy to share with you what I think is my LAST Christmas card of the year!!! I still have some Eskimo Kisses paper left so you never know, but it's the last planned one anyhow!!
I used Whimsy's Winter Raccoons for this one!! That is also the image I AM GIVING AWAY TODAY!!! WOOO HOOO!! I colored these cuties with copics and added some stickles and sponging. The DSP is from a Me and My Big Ideas Fall pack, but I thought it worked well for Christmas. The sentiment is Whimsy too!! I'm going to miss this little sentiment!!! BUt there are 5 others in the set waiting to get inky!
Sooo to win this stamp all you need to do is leave a comment on this post and since we are in the middle of the holiday season, how about sharing the best thing that's happened so far this season. I'll be picking the random winner at some point tomorrow. My hubby and I have our annual Christmas Eve day of fun planned so it will be after that:)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

White Christmas

Well it is COLD today!!!! My thermometer says 10 degrees, but the wind is howling so it feels a lot colder!!! I plan on staying by the fire as long as I can! It's also Thursday, so another fun day with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. I saw a card on Denise's blog the other day that was all white and really wanted to make one!! So I picked this ornament image from Christmas potpourri and gave it a whirl!! I just think all white is so clean and pretty, and of course sparkly too!!! I used the swirls and snowflakes embossing folders, pearls, ribbon, a giant snowflake and some buttons. I also distressed all the edges and sprayed with shimmer spritz. The rest of the ladies have some wonderful creations to, be sure to check those out! Lindsay is also offering a buy 2 get 1 free deal, so it's a great time to stock up!

Belles and Whistles Day 16 Advent Giveaway

Morning everyone!
Welcome to the 16th Day of the Belles and Whistles advent giveaway! I decided to share my matchbox advent calendar using the Christmas hearth image. This project is actually pretty easy and lots of fun!! I used retired SU wintergreen papers with sage and artichoke cardstock. The drawer pulls are flower spacers I attached with crystal effects. Each little box holds a Hershey's miniature. I used my snowflake die to punch out some snowflakes for the sides. I first embossed them with iridescent ice then added either a pearl or rhinestone to the center.
The card on top is my first attempt at an easel card! Another really fun and easy project! I colored the image with copics and then sprayed with shimmer mist. Then added a bow. The card will hold a gift card as this advent calendar is on its way to my soon to be sister in law as her Christmas gift.
Be sure to check out the Belles and Whistles blog for you chance at a fabulous goodie bag:)

Doodle Palace Mail Pup

Hello All!!! Another busy holiday day here! We are finally decorating our gingerbread house. As long as we still have candy left that is!! I wanted to share this Doodle Palace card with you first though. They are releasing some new borders this week! I used the bones and balls border paired with this little mail pup. The papers are retired SU and I used them to make a die cut snowflake as well. Added lots of glitter glue to really make some sparkly snow! The sentiment is from Whimsy stamps.
