Something for Christmas!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!!!  It's time for a Christmas themed Stamp Something Challenge!!!  I used Herb with christmas pudding from Whiff of Joy for my image today.  I used winter wonderland glitter papers from My Mind's eye, which I picked up the day after Christmas last yesr for 75% off and have been excited to use ever since!!!!  I added a big piece of navy satin ribbon along with a felt snowflake, a punched snowflake and some rhinestones.  I also added some fun flock snow under Herb.  I had intended to sew the edge around the image, nut my sewing machine had a different idea, so I went for paper piercing instead.  Be sure to stop by the rest of the SS team to see what Christmas projects they created.  And our sponsor this week is Simon Says, so join along if you can for your chance at a fabby shopping spree!!!
Have a great weekend!

Magnolia Christmas

Hi all!  Afternoon post for you today.  We went blueberry picking this am and it was amazing!  We are, however, almost out of blueberries already.  Oh well, we'll have to go back!
I think I am officially making Christmas cards now.  This one uses this super cute Tilda.  I went with the Eskimo kisses paper from Basic grey and kept it really simple.

Last Karen's Doodle Challenge

This is the last week for the Karen's Doodles US challenge!  I can't believe how fast these past few months have gone!!  After this week, Karen will be combining her different challenge blogs into one, and I can't wait to play along!  I had such a fun time working with Karen's images.
But for this week we are doing a joint challenge with all the other Karen challenge blogs, and they'd like to see white.
You can color in your image, but other than that white, white, white!
 I used textured and shimmery white CS, which I ran thru my snowflakes folder on my CB.  I colored Waving Santa with copics and used fun flock for his beard and cuffs.  I did at a bit of silver for some sparkle with stickles and rhinestones, hope that's OK!  Finally I added some felt snowflakes and flowers.
The sentiment is a fav of mine from whimsy stamps.
Hope you have fun with this one!

Sunday Sketch and Stamp

Well it's the last day of a gorgeous weekend here.  Hope you are having a great weekend too!  I have my Sunday Sketch and stamp card for you today.  We have a fabulous sketch today by Arianne.  Our sponsor is Prairie Fairy.  We were given a few of their images to play with.  But my printer ran out of ink, so I went with a Whimsy rubber stamp instead.  It is Crissy Armstrong's new image, Moonlit ride.  I went with baja breeze, gray and white for this one.  The sentiment is Whimsy as well.  I did some stitching, spongind and added lots of Wild orchid flowers.  I rotated the sketch to work with this image as well.   Hope you can join us this week!  Be sure to stop by and see what my teammies have created for you!!
