Penny's Holiday Gifts Challenge

This week at Penny's Paper Challenge, the challenge is "Holiday Gifts". We used these cute images from DigiDarla to create our projects. I used a snowflake Martha Stewart border punch on some red bazzill cardstock to make my stripes. I inked some grungeboard snowflakes for my accents and then used rhinestones and stickles in a few places for some sparkle. I love that stuff!

CTO Christmas Shape Card/DT Call

I have totally enjoyed being on this awesome design team, and now it's time to submit my last Design Team entry to Celebrate the Occasion. For the challenge this week, we are making Christmas cards, but they have to be in a different shape. I chose this great ornament from the Cricut Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cart. Then I just stamped the corresponding image and added some sparkle with stickles, pearls, and ribbon.

I found the perfect sentiment and my card was done!

Thankful Thursday Layout Challenge

At Crazy About Cricut this week, we're having a layout challenge! I took my pictures from last year's Christmas and made this layout "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." It seems like I'm hearing that song everywhere lately, so I thought it would be a good title for the layout too :) I cut the tree and packages out with my Cricut and used a little bling. I love remembering the looks on my kids' faces on Christmas morning, it really is the most wonderful time of the year!

Penny's Tie One On Challenge

This week at Penny's Paper Challenge, we had these super cute images from Stretch N' Bubbles to use for our Tie One On projects! I just love this little bird and ornaments, they're so cute! I used Copic markers to shade the tree and colored pencils for everything else. I used glossy accents on the leaves to make them stand out and then some stickles at different places for some sparkle. I found this great font at Lettering Delights - it's so versatile for lots of different projects! I made this 5x7 card for the project, but I liked it so well I think I'm going to keep it for myself :) I am going to put it in an 8x10 frame and make it into Christmas decor!

Christmas in July

Yes, I know America just partied like it was 1776 and that fireworks and snowflakes don't really go together... but it is Christmas in July all ready, and over at Celebrate the Occasion we are pulling out the Christmas glitter here (minus the red) I chose to make a Christmas Tag. The rules were no RED. This was tough. I pulled out my Christmas stash of scrapbook supplies and found that pretty much every little embellishment or paper I had had red. Hmmmm. So I improvised. I used glitter paper and stickers, stamps, pearls, rub ons, lace, a prima bauble, a flower I made from an old book that fell apart when I was reading it, and a clock I cut from bobunny paper. Here is my lack of red end result. It was a challenge this time for me, but I love a good challenge and thanks to the creative celebrate the occasion team- you can see what the rest of the design team came up with.

I hope you all go and enter the Christmas in July challenge with NO RED- it was a blast and I can't wait to see what our creative followers come up with :)
