Goodbye Christmas

This year, Carley wanted to change the colors on our big tree.  We did away with the purple and added in the lime green.  I really like the way it turned out.  The tulle garland was Pinterest inspired.  It looked to quick and easy, but let me tell you.  You are looking at about 6 hours our time. 

The tree in the morning room is one of my favorites.  It displays all the ornaments my kids at school give me for Christmas.  Some of the ornaments are several years old. 

 

 

The last tree for this year is the one in the dining room. 

 



We usually put up another tree with Santa ornaments on it, but because of my surgery, we got behind.  Lord willing, there will be next year. : )

This year, Doug got what he really wanted for Christmas.

I hope you have a great start to the New Year!

December Card Kit Reveal

Hey everyone!

Doesn't time fly!  I almost forgot to post today but I remembered.  When I saw this paper from MME, I fell in love.  Here is the kit I put together for your group this month.  A HUGE thank you to Terry for the picture.  I got so excited and forgot to take the picture first. 

I created two cards and a tag.

 

Beth always has the cutest bows, so every time I make a bow I think....what would Beth do.  hahaha

I also wanted to share my Winter SheArt girl I made a few weeks ago.  The paper I used for the pants just screamed..."Make me into pants.....PLEASE."

 

 

If you would like to check out what the others made, here are the links.  Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas!!!

November Card Kit Reveal

This has been a very interesting month to say the least, but Diane sent out a fabulous kit for us to play with!!!  A great big THANK YOU for all the goodies and fun stuff you packed in there.  Here it is....

Here is the first card that I created with this fun kit!  I have number used burlap, so I had to give it a try.

Here is the second card.

I still have so much left oer that I can made a few more cards!  Thanks again for the lovely kit.  If you would like to check out the other ladies in our group, here are their links.  Since our group has grown, we have split up into two groups.  Each group had a different hostess and it to play with.  I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with.

Final share of the weekend...

Yes, I had a good weekend scrappin' and enjoyed playing along with some of the blog challenges.  As soon as I read about the challenge over at Crafty Calender Challenge I knew the perfect stamp I wanted to use.  Purple Onion Designs is one of favorite stamp sites and I bought this stamp a couple years ago and never used it. 

Here is my card.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Another Card Share

Yes, I had a weekend without a TON of work that needed to be done, so I played in my scraproom for a while!  YAHOO!!!!

I always enjoy playing along in blogville with all the great challenges!  This week, I found a new site for me called CAS-ual Fridays.  CAS is my absolute favorite!  However, creating a masculine card is a real challenge for me.  I checked over at All Sorts of Challenges and they too are having a masculine challenge, so I was inspired!  Thank goodness for my good friend Joni, who sent me this set of stamps a long time ago.

Here is the card I created.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Card share

Don't you just love a weekend without a TON of things that have to be done?  Not to mention the extra hour!  YEAH!!!

Anyway, I got to play along with a few challenge blogs this weekend.

The first challenge that caught my eye was over at Totally Gorjuss.  It was anything with a button.  While I was blog hoppin' around, I landed on Crafty Catz and their challenge was to add texture.  I just love using buttons and texture, so these two challenges were perfect for me!

Here is the card that I created.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day!

Friends with Flair

I just LOVE Unity's Friends with Flair!  With school starting it is hard to believe that I have not been able to play along until now, but I am so glad I found some time to play with the Bright and Merry Winter Wishes set of stamps.

Here is the first card I made using the set.

I also made this card which is very similar, but a little different.

And finally, this one.

 

 

This set of stamps are so fun!  Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day!
