The Snuggle is Real!

For all my US friends, I hope you have enjoyed the holiday weekend.  I spent a lot of the day in my room doing a very big craft room purge!  There is a huge garbage bag that made its way outside.  And several bags are going to a friend who is a teacher and can use a lot of the old card stock and wooden stamps that I no longer use with her students.  Happy that some of it is going to a good home!

When I was done purging, I played with some stamps that have had yet to see ink...I couldn't let Darnell's NBUS challenge go without playing along. This card is going to Pat's cousin who just adopted a beautiful little girl!  So happy for their family.  I hope your work week gets off to a great start.

Merry Christmas

I'm in the groove making Christmas cards. Need to find a few more designs that I absolutely love to make a few in multiples so that I can feel even better about being ready in time for Christmas!  But for today, I have a card inspired by two challenges...Darnells's NBUS challenge and MUSE Christmas Visions.  I'm using new goodies from Frantic Stampers (the background star die) and the PaperSmooches City Scape die. I've had both of these for a while, but they have yet to see time on my craft table. I love that Darnell inspires us to get out our never been used goodies!

Christ the Savior is Born

This past Saturday I had a ton of time to craft. It was a very rainy Saturday and was the perfect day to spend several hours in my craft room.  I haven't spent more than an hour in there in a really long time...so three hours of crafty time meant I created lots of cards. This time of year quickly becomes very busy with show choir, basketball and wrestling so extended crafting time won't happen for a while, but rather will be tucked in in 30 to 60 minute increments!

I've been itching to play with this set from Verve. The Curtain Call Challenge and Darnell's Never Been Used Challenge were the perfect challenges to enter this card.  Love the neutral tone on tone feel of this card. I've also created a little challenge for myself. I send a lot of Christmas cards so I've decided to set a goal to make about 15 each month. I've made 5 so far in January...we'll see if I can keep up with this challenge for myself and not have a mad dash at the end of the year!
