♥ Simon Says... Anything Goes!! ♥

It's that time of the month again...NO not that! ;) It's Anything Goes over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! Just link any type of new creation and you could win a SUPER fabulous prize!!

This week I made a card with a cute Itty Bitty stamp by Unity called Snowbody Warms My Heart. I first stamped him onto white cardstock in black ink and then re-stamped him 3 more times in 3 different shades of blue. I then paper pieced him over the black image and added lots of glitter.

The paper I used is by Echo Park, Season's Greetings and the snowflake is Vintage Wooden by Maya Road.

As always, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore!

I'll be back shortly with my End of the Year/Christmas Giveaway!! And it's a DOOZY!! :)

Hugs to all...

This week's theme at The Shabby Tea Room is called "Winter Picnic"! It is to create a card and/or project using white or cream and silver and glitter. This is the gorgeous inspiration photo.

This week the Shabby Girls got to play with some fabulous stamps by JustRite. I  chose the Musical Notes Labels Twenty Cling Set and the O Christmas Tree Clear Set. What beautiful and versatile stamps. I created the background with the adorable little snowflake stamp from the O Christmas Tree set.

I finished off the card with a vintage wooden snowflake by Maya Road which I painted white and then added some chunky glitter and Liquid Pearls to it. I also used some white seam binding ribbon, white pom pom trim and some silver tinsel trim.

♥ Pink Christmas ♥

Hi! Just wanted to stop in real quick with a card I made for 2 awesome challenges. The card uses this week's sketch from Card Patterns and it also fits this week's theme at the City Crafter Challenge Blog, A Pink Christmas.

I used some beautiful Christmas ad paper by Echo park and some Die Cuts by Jillibean Soup. I also used some seam binding ribbon and trim, Liquid Pearls and some chunky glitter.

Here is the fabulous Card Patterns Sketch~

And here is City Crafter's beautiful inspiration photo~

I want to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow! Thank you so much for stopping by and for your lovely comments! They mean so much to me!! :)

Lots of Love...

♥ Simon Says... Tag You're It! ♥

This week's FUN challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is to make a tag! You can incorporate a tag onto a card or make a tag that can be attached to a special present for Christmas, Hanukkah or even a Birthday!

I made some Christmas tags that I can easily attach to a present and you can make a little pocket in the back to hold a gift card or money. With the awesome JustRite Spellbinders Nested Frame Die they are so easy to make! I love this die set. You can do so many things with it! After running the larger rectangle die through my Cuttlebug, I stamped Tim Holtz's Santa Letter ATC Rubber Stamp onto the tag. You can then run the next size die through your Cuttlebug, attach it to the back, only gluing the bottom and two sides, leaving the top open to make a pocket. There you have a wonderful handmade Christmas Tag/Gift Card Holder! You can even add a longer piece of ribbon to it, so it can be hung from the Christmas tree!

Here is a closeup of all the tags.

♥ A Pink and Black Christmas ♥

♥♥♥ For today's Shabby Tea Room post, please scroll down! Thank U! ♥♥♥

When I first saw the current challenge at the CR84FN Color Challenge Blog, my first thought was something for a wedding or something with lots of flowers on it, just like on the inspiration photo. Then I thought "Oh, what the heck! Let's do a Pink, Black and White Christmas"!

Here is my card...

The Santa Bingo paper is by Simple Stories. The large Maya Road chipboard ornament is covered in Glitz Design paper and then smothered with chunky glitter. I hand wrote the tag and then added lots of white Liquid Pearls.

The punched snowflakes are made with some Jenni Bowlin paper and also smothered in glitter and pearls.

Finally, I added some string pearls, crocheted trim, satin ribbon, crystal snowflake and the "Merry Christmas" is from a Just Rite Stamp set called "Deck the Halls".

Hope you have a great night! Thanks for stopping by!!
