Merry Christmas!!

Another Christmas card to share with you fine folks!!  LOL!!  Isn't this the cutest image from LOTV?  Also love the Magnolia Doohickey's "Slender Firs" from Magnolia-licious and covered them with Twinklettes!  This card was sent all the way to Yuma, Arizona!!  Merry Christmas to Ralfie & Lloyd!!

Happy Birthday Barb!

Happy Birthday Aunt Barb! 

Lots of birthdays in October and November for me so here's another one.  Oh ya, more to come!  At first I thought using this mustard colored paper would be a challenge.  OK IT WAS!!  LOL!!  Jeez!!  But the more I worked with it and added the blue, the more I liked it.  Definitely a bit of a different color combo for me.  

This is the sketch I used that Chelsea has for this month's challenge.  Is that cute or what?!! 

I'm not entering the challenge but just wanted to share the kick butt sketch.  I will tho enter these challenges:

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything goes

Anything Goes Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week!

Birthday Wishes

I had to make a birthday card for my MIL's friend and wouldn't you know it?  Another purple card.  Hmmm....interesting.  LOL!!  I didn't color this but I used one of those LOTV's "Mice Are Nice" die cut sheets for a quick card.  Ok, it wasn't THAT quick but I did eliminate the few hours of time spent coloring the image.  Besides, they're super cute! 

I added my own zipper flower and just an assortment of Wild Orchid flowers.  As if you can't tell already they are one of my favorite embellishments!!  Love the new border die from Magnolia and the Spellbinders "Fleur de Lis Squares" die as well.

I think I'll enter this card into Wild Orchid Flowers - "Anything Goes" challenge.

Thanks for looking!  Eulanda

Last 2011 Christmas Card

Now here's a card I never did post!!  I just found it in my draft posts.  LOL!!  Well, I might as well share it anyway.  I was hoping to have taken a better picture of it but I had given it away.  Darn it!  OH yes I remember now.  This is when my camera lens broke.  Happy to say that I have received my new lens and wow speedy service from Amazon.ca.  I am addicted to that website now.  LOL!! 

I used a lot of glitter on the snow and furry hat but but I see it's a bit hard to see.  Might look better if you click on the picutre but the way Blogger is set up these days it's hard to enlarge a photo.  Anyway, you get the idea!!  Have a great week!  Hugs!

CLP #42

We're back again!!  How are you making out with those Christmas cards?  Me?  I still need another 17 I think.  It's looking like I'm finally going to break down and start making multiples.  I know I should do that in the first place but I just love originality. 

Anyway for my CLP sketch this month I've used an LOTV image called "Christmas Bears Sledge".  I just think these things are so stinkin' cute!! 

Yet another wonderful sketch by Chelsea!!

I did a little more with this card then I usually do.  I scored the card in the middle to give it a bit of space between front and back cover.  I think only 1/4".  Of course now I regret not doing a tutorial.  Anyway, then I cut a 2nd piece to make a place to put single portions of COFFEE!!  I put very small amounts of glue dots on the top AND bottom so they will stay but are easily removed by tugging slightly.

The inside says;

"There's nothing like a cup

of warm hugs on a cold day

from a loving friend"

A closer view of the packettes.
