Let It Snow

Another not-so-great picture of my recent card. I sure hope Santa brings me a new camera. Wanted to play with my newest stamp from Pink Cat Studio and try Taylor's weekly challenge one more time before the year ends. Since I've got two weeks off from school, I've been crafting up a storm on little odds and ends and trying some new techniques. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

Greetings

Hi Folks, again no working camera...so I'm left to using my Droid phone to photograph my current projects. I have been anxiously waiting for October Afternoons holiday papers to make it to my local scrapbook store and finally it arrived last week. I had this fun new stamp from Pink Cat Studio and played with my Spellbinders circle and scallop punches to frame up this little cutie. I also love the little pins from Making Memories to pin on the little dangling ornament. So much fun and festive, this card is perfect to send to family and friends. Until next time.

Ho, Ho, Ho

Hi all, I doubt anyone has missed my pathetic attempt at blogging. Especially since I am unable to photograph these days with the absence of my defunct digital camera. So using my trusty Blackberry, today I am happy to post my recent project. A few months ago I saw this adorable Santa that Jennifer Beason posted on her blog with Pink Paislee papers and I knew I wanted to give it a try. Then when I saw the Cosmo Cricket papers, I was sure that they would be perfect for ole St. Nick. I still need to place ribbon through the hands and I'll probably add some sort of sentiment to go with it, but for now...I love they way he turned out. Let the holiday decorating begin!!

Moxie Fab -ulous

Once again the geniuses at Moxie Fab World are hosting a challenge for the holidays. I'm posting two pictures of previous projects I've created with my gingerbread collection in mind. I used a Bare Elements house and covered with craft paper and stamped the swirls with white Stazon Ink. Little bits of scrap papers provide the perfect embellishment that this project needed. It always looks so festive with my gingerbread-decorated tree. This entry showcases their cute and fun category. How can you not think this house is fun and cute???

The next entry showcases a stamped card that I used some pewter and stamped over metal. Once again, the gingerbread theme is a pretty familiar one for me...so I go with what works. This is one of my favorite cards and I hate to give it away, so I just keep it around for inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

And the Winner is.....ME!!!

I can't believe it! The 7 Gypsies chose me as their winner of the Bindery Punch contest. I'm so excited that my Bindery punch will be shown at CHA in the very awesome 7G booth. If you've ever been to CHA, you know the the 7G booth is always buzzin with great showroom samples and such creative ideas. I love that I get to be a small part of this great show. I'm posting a picture of the loot they will be sending me...how great is that? Also posting my newest card that I posted to the Moxie Fab challenge for an eco-friendly card. Hope you enjoy!

Gypsie's Travels

Well, still no luck with my camera, so I borrowed my daughter's camera for today's post. 7 Gypsies is hosting a contest to decorate a Bindery Punch and post it to their gallery for a chance at some fabulous prizes. I decided that no Gypsy is complete without her own Steamer Trunk and I fashioned this one out of a Bindery Punch. Please take a moment to visit that link and post a comment on my gallery there, it will help my chances of showing this baby at CHA! Complete with leather straps (aka:Grungepaper), buckles and lots and lots of travel stamps...this Gypsy has traveled far and wide for just the right accessories to her design studio. I used my Dymo labeler and punched letters directly into the Grungepaper and mounted the seven continent names and of course the 7 Gypsies name as well. I'm all packed and ready to go anywhere with this little beauty.

Thanks for stopping by.

Can You Say Adorable?

Okay, still playing with my Prismacolors and Gamsol. Picked up the newest edition on Paper Crafts Magazine and found this fun little layout. I had purchased a Bella stamp some time ago and wanted to play with this image for a fun birthday card. Doodlebug's newest cupcake papers is so fun and the Amuse mini plaid's are so much fun. Combined together, the colors and plaid/polka dot patterns make a great combination. I can't beleive I actually posted twice in one week. Hmmm, hope the summer off will allow me more chances to post. It could happen, honest!
