Merry Christmas!

We are taking the day off from Party-ing and Dee has told us to post anything we want!  I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2015!

Simple and sincere!

Christmas Tag

This week Patricia has challenged us to post a Christmas Tag.  For those that don't know our fellow party-er Rosanne hosts a Tag Swap every year.  I've toyed with posting someone else's tag this week but I think the intent was for me to post my own!!  :o)

Here is my tag...

And a close up of the embossed stamp...

Thanks for stopping by.  Hop on over to our Crazy Card Party and link up your Christmas Tag.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

NON Traditional - how dare I??

This week Avril has challenged us to use non traditional colours in our project.  Tradition is a big thing in our house... so hopefully my family will forgive me!!

Here is my card....

Please join our party and link up your non-traditional project!! Thanks for stopping by!

Let it SNOW!

Framed!

Over at our party this week, Rosanne has challenged us to create a project using a frame.  Here is my first attempt at a card with a frame!

And I liked it so much.. I gave another one a try!!

And both Christmas-themed of course!!
Thanks for stopping by and hoping you can join our party and link up your frame project.

Rustic Christmas

So this week Regs has challenged us to complete a rustic project.  She didn t specifically say it had to be Christmas but as I just spent the past weekend making Christmas cards, it only stands to reason....

Here is my card....

As always, Pinterest is a great inspiration for card making!!  Please join us over at our Crazy Card Party and link up your Rustic project.

Christmas is coming!!

This week Dee has challenged us with a Christmas theme.  I haven't had a lot of time to think about Christmas projects but this cute card on Pinterest caught my eye and I had just purchased new some stocking dies, so I thought I would give it a try!

Here's my card...

Pretty cute, if I must say so myself!  Join us over at our Crazy Card Party and link up your Christmas projects!!

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers!

That's a quote from Lucy Maude Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables.  Fall is my favourite season and this week, Patricia has asked us to create an Autumn themed project.

Here is my card....

And here is a close up view of the acorn.  I used my Wink of Stella pen again!!

Please stop by our Crazy Card Party and link up your Autumn project!
Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween!!?

Hi everyone.. this week Avril has challenged us to create a Halloween project.  As both my children are grown up and I don't yet have grandchildren, Halloween is almost a non-event at our house.  When we first moved to this neighbourhood, we got well over 100 kids treat or treating on Halloween.  Now we are lucky to get 30 or 35!

So needless to say, I don't have a lot of Halloween items in my stash but luckily I was able to find some items on sale at a local Michaels!!  The pumpkin was all me!

Here is my card...

Thanks for stopping by..join us over at the Crazy Card Party and see what spookiness the others have come up with!

Ombre!

This week Sharon has asked us to use the ombre technique on our project.  Here is my card.

This was my own design... yep, straight out of my head.  I did get the inspiration for the ombre effect from other projects in Pinterest.  I used paint chips to die cut the butterflies.  Here's a closer look at the butterflies...

I also used a diamond glitter mist on the background.  Now head on over to our Crazy Card Party and link up your ombre challenge!

Crazy Card Party - Chevrons

Hi everyone.. it's my week to set the challenge over at the Crazy Card Party and I've asked everyone to use chevrons on their project.

Here's my card...

Hop on over to the Party and link up your chevron project!

Going for the Gold!

Hello.. all you party-ers!!   This week Rosanne has asked us to use a combination of white and gold.. right on trend at the moment!

Here is my card...

I've already used this card for a special couple's wedding anniversary.  Pop on over to our Crazy Card Party and link up your White and Gold products!  Thanks for stopping by!

Colour it...

This week over at our Crazy Card Party, Regs has asked us to colour our projects... with anything we'd like.  I chose water colouring and here is my card.

You can't tell from the picture but the circles are glittered as well.

Thanks for stopping by and join us at our Crazy Card Party and link up your colouring project!

Pretty in Pink!

This week Patricia has asked us to use vellum on our projects.  Here is my card...

I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture but the leaves are die cut in vellum. I do love this doily embossing folder as well (borrowed from a friend!).

Please join us over at the Crazy Card party and link up your vellum project!!

Use those Doilies...

This week Avril has challenged us to use a doily on our project.  I love the look of doilies but I must admit, I don't use them all that often.  After this challenge, that might change!

Here's my card...

Please join our Crazy Card  Party  and link up your doily project.

Thanks for stopping by!

Water colours

This week it is my turn to set the challenge for the Crazy Card Party-ers!  I have chosen water colours, which is all the rage right now.

Here's my card....

And while I'm here I thought I would post a card I recently made for a special birthday..maybe I should keep it for a future challenge but what the heck!  It may pop again sometime later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Remember Patricia's shaker card challenge??  Well, I had a quieter weekend at home so I was able to finish my shaker card.  It definitely ended up quite a bit different than I had originally planned.  Here's my card....

Hope you had a great long weekend.  See you all soon for this week's challenge!!

Paste!

This week Dee has asked us to use paste on our project, which is really a lot of fun when it works out!!  Here's my card...

And alas, I did not get the time to finish my shaker card this week.  You never know what the weekend will bring!
