Angel "Wonder" Card

The challenge at 365 Cards today is to have an angel on your card. The angel on this card is from Leisure Arts and one of their little ATC images booklets. The papers, tag, ribbon and snowflake rub-ons are by Little Yellow Bicycle (25 Days Of Christmas Collection). The oval brad is by Making Memories (Mistletoe Collection) and the white rose leaves are by Prima Marketing.
Have you had a good Tuesday? Mine has been filled with household chores, some design work and looking forward to a good old fashioned Christmas Parade tonight in my little town. :)

The [Stamps] Of Life December Release

I always look forward to the first of the month because that is when I get NEW stamps. :) Yep, that's when The [Stamps] Of Life releases their new set. This month's set is called Love2Hug. Here are some cards I did with this fun set.







If you haven't checked out the new stamp company The [Stamps] Of Life, then you are missing out on some stamping fun. :) It's nice to have something to look forward to besides bills at the first of the month. Wink, wink. :)

Naughty Or Nice Card

I haven't posted anything in a while since I have been busy going back and forth to the hospital plus trying to get everything ready for Thanksgiving. Hopefully I'll be able to find more time for my blog in the coming weeks. :) That might be wishful thinking though. I struggle every year to find enough time to get everything done (Christmas shopping, wrapping, etc. etc.) without the added goings on I find myself involved with this year.
My card today fits three challenges. I used sketch #40 at 2 Sketches 4 You to give me a "jump-start." Cupcake Crafts Challenge plus 365 Days have red and green challenges going on this week. The papers, rub-ons, epoxy alphabet stickers, ribbon and holly brads are all by Making Memories. The image is by Lunagirl. I got to try out my new
Martha Stewart deep border punch too. :) This card would definitely fall under the fast and easy category....always a good thing this time of year. :)
Hope your Monday has been a good one. Mine has been busy. Had an eye doctor's appointment early plus had some repairmen here at the house doing some things. It's almost time to visit my mom at the hospital where I'm hoping I will see some improvement today. :) I did some Christmas shopping today too.....got to love Cyber Monday. :)

2 Sketches 4 You Guest Designer

Well, today is Wednesday and I just realized that I was supposed to post Monday about being the guest designer at 2 Sketches 4 You. I know you are wondering how I could possibly forget that!!!! :) When your days are spent at a hospital and ICU, you tend to "forget" a lot. :) So I am posting late....but better late than never.

I got to work with some Creative Cuts & More product. The sleigh beside my card is from them. I had such fun decorating this diecut. I put some fresh cut holly in mine but it would be equally wonderful with candy. I used papers from Little Yellow Bicycle's 25 Days Of Christmas collection. The sentiment stamps are by The [Stamps] Of Life.

My mother is continuing to improve from her stroke. She was able to walk to the bathroom today so that is a very good sign. Keep us in your thoughts.

Roam Fun Card

Sharing a fun card today that fits two challenges. The Cinema Saturday Creative movie this week is "Roman Holiday." I had a new rubber stamp by Stampique Originals that has the Leaning Tower of Pisa on it. I decided to use a play on words and call my card "roam" fun. :) I used the sketch at Mojo Monday to jumpstart my card. :) All the papers, stickers and ribbon are by Little Yellow Bicycle from their Traveler Collection.

My last two days have been spent at the hospital where my mom is in ICU. She suffered a stroke Saturday night so please keep me in your thoughts. She was better today so I am hopeful that it will all work out.

Call Of The Wild Card

I decided to try the Etsy Inspired Challenge for the first time today. :) I chose the above pictured baby bib fabric as my inspiration for this card. The rubber stamps are by Hampton Art. The leaf on the fabric of this bib reminded me of an "old" Sizzix die that I had. I haven't used this one for years. It also reminded me to never get rid of any of my Sizzix dies (as I have been tempted to do with some of the older ones). But now I think I will keep them "forever." (Wink, wink.) The polka dot flowers are by Prima Marketing.
Chocolate pancakes, strawberries and whipped cream....oh my. :)

Noel Reindeer Card

Card Patterns has a sketch challenge this week. This card works up fast and would be a good one to do several of for your Christmas mailing list. The patterned papers and reindeer tag are by Little Yellow Bicycle (25 Days Of Christmas Collection). The "noel" are epoxy type alphabet stickers by Making Memories. The white leaves are by Prima Marketing. Since the card has leaves, it will also fit the challenges at Pile It Up and Charisma Cardz. The challenge at Charisma Cardz is called "Merry and Bright."
It's about time to get those chocolate pancakes cooking. We have plans to watch the Alabama vs. Mississippi State game tonight. Roll Tide! :)
