White out

Happy New Year everyone!! Here's to another decade! 2020!! Woot Woot!!! The new year brings a new challenge at The Rainbow Card Challenge. This month The Rainbow Card Challenge is featuring white. A perfect color for the cold and snowy days of January.

My card is very minimalistic, but evokes a cold snowy day.

While the lighting is kinda strange in this photo, it does show case some of the glitter and dimension in the card. I kinda like the photo.

Thia photo really shows the glitter on the snow and the trees. Inlove the simple beauty of this card and think it will be a keeper for holiday cards 2020.

You might bhave thought that this month's music inspiration would be non other than White Christmas, but I have to say, I am done with the holiday music. So instead I am featuring "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.

Get out your white paper and white ink and show us a white card. You have all month to play along at The Rainbow Card Challenge. 

Better to give or receive?

Is it better to give than receive? That is the question. That is a tough one as I LOVE getting presents, but at the same time I love seeing the excitement and joy of someone opening a gift. My lovely lady above could either be bring presents or getting this awesome stash of presents.

Today's card is a reminder that there is still time left in the year to play along with our splashy color challenge at Inky Paws. For that matter you have time in the new year to play along also. Isn't this awesome, a challenge that spans the years!! For that reason alone you have to play along!! Just use lime green, teal, blue and silver in your creation, that features a Newton's Nook product.

My card today features "Christmas Haul",  Holiday Greetings Dies, and "Sentiments of the Seasons". All from Newton's Nook.

You have one more week to play along with our awesome color challenge at Inky Paws! We will chose a RANDOM entry to win a $20.00 Newton's Nook store gift certificate.

Happy last weekend in 2019! It's hard to believe 2020!! Where do the years go?

I have had some time off over Christmas  and that means time in my studio. I usually end up with with a stamping block by the time the holidays are over, but I have been going strong and am sharing cards that I can save for next year.

This adorable Rudolph is from Essentials by Ellen over at Ellen Hutson. I just love the images. The wreath is from Clearly Besotted. Unfortunately, it is no longer available. the sentiment is Paper Smooches.

As I wrote yesterday CAS on Friday is having a DT call. I am throwing another card into the pool for their consideration.

Check out CAS on Friday and see the CAS cards by the DT. And wish me luck!

It's Christmas!

Wishing all of you a very blessed Christmas holiday!

Falalalala!! It's almost Christmas!!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!! Today is the day for George and I. I make a fancy dinner and we open our gifts. 

I felt so behind the eightball with Thanksgiving coming so late, but somehow as I sat watching Hallmark Christmas movies last night, I said to George, that I actually had a handle on evrything and I can enjoy Christmas eve without all the last minute running around and cooking I am, usually doing.

It's something to sing about.

Something else to sing about is CAS on Friday is having a DT call! You know me I am all about CAS, so I am throwing my hat in the ring for a 2020 position on their awesome team! Wish me luck!!

Wishing you a festive and fun filled day before!!

Spreading holiday cheer

Hi everyone!! It won't be long until the big day- Christmas day! Yay!! Are any of you feeling a little behind the eight ball this year? Thanksgiving came so late, it has totally thrown my crafting schedule off.  I spent this weekend hunkered down in my studio, making 80 cards. 

I did take the time though to have some fun with the new challenge at Inky Paws. We are challenging you to use lime green, teal, blue and silver. Come on, isn't that an awesome combination of colors?!!? No excuse not to play along, If I can manage my time, I know you all can too.

For my card today, I used the following products from Newton's Nook: Holiday foliage stencil,  Ornamental wishes, and Winter Memories. Using a silver Stickles, I added bling to the berries for this striking holiday card.
