January mix up challenge

Hello, Hoping you are safe and warm tonight... It's dangerously cold in my neck of the woods tonight.. so I'll be staying in crafting tonight. I wanted to play along with The Classroom's mixup challenge, but I only have a very limited supply of Essentials by Ellen stamps/dies.... So I really have to stretch what I do have. I used the leaf from the mondo poinsettia stamp for my background and the diecut sentiment is Avery Elle. Hopefully the stamps and die I ordered yesterday arrive soon. Thanks for visiting, see you soon.

New beginngs challenge #123

Hello, I hope you are having a good day. It's freezing cold here ( outside Chicago) , and I have to go to work soon... Wish me luck . I wanted to pop in with a quick share, my card for Simply Create Too. The theme this month is New Beginnings , so Baby, House, Marriage, Job... I hope you will play along with us. 

CC&S #204

Hello , Im here with my 1st offical DT post for CC&S . This weeks color challenge inspired me to think outside my comfort zone.( err teal, green, and blue) . I chose to make a birthday card because I'm always in need of those. Ihope you will play along with us.  See you soon. 

SSS Start afresh

Hello ,. I'm back again with one more card today. This one is for SSS monday challenge .. Start Afresh, use something brand new. Well I ordered a few things on boxing day I had yet to ink up , this is one of them . I loved this little stamp from PPP . The back ground is SSS diagonal stripes,  I stamped it , then flipped the card base the other way and stamped it again. I love how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. 

SSS Anything goes

Hello, I'm trying to enjoy my last few hours of holiday break.... I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.. I would love to be able to stay home and make cards all day. However I need to pay my bills and craft money doesn't grow on trees. This stamp/die set was something my mom got me for Christmas. She is so sweet and broke into my SSS wishlist while I was at work and picked out a few things and ordered them for me. Currently working on holiday thank you notes. Off to make more cards, be back soon. 

One more for this challenge.

Hello, so  as I said previously ... I'm crazy about this stamp set. I wanted to try a different version with this stamp. Good thing Christmas is only once a year, I have a feeling I might use this every day if I could. But I'm sure you can see why? And I will have a headstart on next year's cards. Have a great night. 

CCC week 3

Hello, Happy New Year to you.  I hope your holidays were wonderful. Sharing my DT  card for Christmas Card Challenges color challenge. Yes i know Christmas is over, but if you make as many as I do , it's best to keep at it all year long. I send some of the cards I make to the lasting hearts card drive and hope to send double this year, so I might need to make 4 of everything. See you soon.
