Christmas Present Card

Hello wonderful crafting world. Well today I came across a blog that I must have just looked at their sketch challenge a certain way because it inspired me to create a present card. I tried to capture all of the elements they wanted with a little twist. I used a Christmas stamp that I have had for at least 3 years and never used (sad) and tried out my new nestabilities (spelling) for the tag. Side note on that: I got them to cut but not emboss, any idea's why that would be? I also broke into the pack of fancy new Stampin' Up paper that I have had for a few weeks now and not used. Overall I am happy with the outcome!

You should check out their site there is still a bit of time to play along! Scrapbooker's Paradise



I really need to get moving on Christmas cards (grand total of 2 now!) and now that we are getting later in November I feel the Christmas crafting spirit hitting me so hopefully I can make more!

I've been learning to knit since the beginning of the month and it has been an interesting challenge. I'm left handed but decided to just give it a whirl right-handed and its come out alright so far. I am just finishing up my very first knitted project, a scarf and I will post a picture soon.

Christmas Is Love

So I got a change to do a bit of crafting before tomorrow. Lucky me. I did this up for a couple of challenges. I used the rules from the Paper Players (and mostly Stamping Up product, yay me! lol) the colours from Color Throwdown and I found this fantastic sketch at Skipping Stones.

NOW when I found the sketch on the Skipping Stones site I didn't take my usual peek at the projects. I liek to do that so that I don't create anything to similar. So I went back to link up and the twin (in my opinion) to my card was sitting there! lol I must have been channelling the maker of the twin (same stamp, almost same paper). So long story short I am not going to enter that challenge because I don't want to step on someone else's colours and design. I should have looked first, that will teach me! ;)

Christmas in advance!

I was working on this for the challenge over at the Jitterbug site! I was wrong about the deadline and so I missed the challenge but Sherri was kind enough to post it on her site.



You were supposed to do a vehicle ... I think this counts as a vehicle, no? lol
