Be Jolly ~ PTI Blog Hop Challenge


Happy Boxing Day everyone!  I'm joining in the post Christmas fun with the Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop.  We are inspired by this photo...


I just love all those colours on the neutral background.  I've used the Fab Flakes stamp set to help make my background, some washi tape for the teal diagonal stripes, and a tag sale die for the ornament.  Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the hop!

Tidings of Great Joy


Hello friends!  Happy Christmas Eve!  Everyone in the house has gone out but I stayed at home so I could have a few quiet moments to putter (in the studio!).  I needed two more last minute cards and decided to CASE Laurie's card HERE.  I've been drooling over it all week!

 Christmas Blessings by Laurie Schmidlin

 I wish you all a very merry and peaceful Christmas.  I'd like to leave you with the poem from the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas original TV show...

Welcome Christmas. Bring your cheer,
Cheer to all Whos, far and near.

Christmas Day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to grasp.

Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we.

Welcome Christmas while we stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand.

Peace on Earth ~ PTI Create Along with Us


Hello friends!  Well, the good news is I'm off for two weeks!  I have a few days now to get ready for Christmas before family starts arriving.  I'm hoping to sneak into the studio a bit more often as it's been a little lonely these past few weeks.  Today's card is for PTI's Create Along with Us challenge.  I'm CASEing Dawn's gorgeous card HERE with a Christmas spin...

 I am all over non traditional colours for Christmas cards.  I thought I'd extend the non traditional theme and go with some Valentine's paper!  I am working my way through all the lovely sentiments in Beyond Measure and I'm almost done so I can start all over again. This set is timeless!

Christmas Joy ~ PTI Make it Monday


 Hello!  I'm back today with my take on this week's Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday challenge.  I used a Zigg Watercolour pen to outline my snowflakes as I don't have any copic markers (not a ONE!).  I love how it turned out...pretty in pink!  Thanks for stopping by!
