Thanks!

We're gearing up here for another Major Winter Storm so I'm in a "snow" kind of mood however the H2H Challenge was for the colors Pear, Sky and Colonial White. That led to a more "Spring" kind of card but that's ok because this card is going south and I needed a Thank You Card. Just what I needed! It's a perfect mix of old and new because the corner punch, little heart and paper are older and the embossing folder, ribbon and stamps are new. This cute sketch came from SCS Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge for this week. Supplies: CTMH CS Sky, Pear, Miracle DSP, CTMH Stamps A Little Thanks, CB Emboss Folders, CTMH Embellishments

Scrappin' This Weekend

Woohoo, had some time to finish some scrap layouts this weekend. Of course, I started with some of my favorite picts from the holiday. LOL! Brand, what a character. I was so surprised when he came home with this crazy holiday tee shirt. Not his usual style but definitely cute and fun. He had a great time at the Christmas parties he went to and it was fun to see Nick. The layout came from a sketch from the new Sketch Support Blog. This is also my first layout for my friend Cheryl's Even More Scrapping Blog 52 Week Friday Challenge. She was inspired by our friend Jen (her blog Jen's Jewel Box). So I'm joining them and going to try to upload a scrap layout every Friday. 1 down, at least 51 to go...Fun, Fun! Supplies: CTMH Evensong Papers, CTMH Holiday Tags, CTMH Color Ready Hodge Podge Alpha Stickers, CTMH Rub Ons

Snow Days!

This week and next we're supposed to have snow every day! Wow! I was so surprised when we got 5 more inches of snow Friday night. It just suddenly started coming down heavy. I'm going to have to pay attention to the weather. The nice part about that is that it's pretty when you're home and watching it out the window. Today was a good day to just get stuff done at home and enjoy some scrap and stamp time. When I saw this stamp, I knew I wanted to use it this weekend. It was just what I needed to complete the Mojo Monday 172 Challenge. Also had fun using up scraps from my Aspen pack of paper. Supplies: CTMH Aspen Paper, CTMH Snow Days Stamps, CTMH Sparkles and Bitty Sparkles, MM Snowflake Brads

Happy New Year!

Woohoo, welcome 2011! I am looking for it to be another crafty year...hoping for more consistency. This last year seem to have some "crazy spots" for work and I hope to have those evened out this year. I think I'll be better prepared, at least that's what I'm hoping. Although, life has a way a throwing a curve or 2... I was planning to spend last evening making some cards and only got to finish up 1 because BR announced he had to leave back for college at 0700! I had been planning to leave about 1600 so this was quite a change. Fortunately, I was able to finish up my card AND get him packed up for his return to OU. This card is for MOJO171. It's also for my first upload for our January Challenge to be crafty daily. I only had time for a card BUT it was fun to get it done. I used the CTMH Acrylic Cards. Happy New Year! Here's to more fun stamping and scrapping for 2011! Supplies: CTMH Holiday Fun, CTMH Magnifique Paper, CTMH Acrylic Card, Staz On Timber Brown Ink, Stickles, CTMH Sparkles

Still Thinking of You!

I'm just getting into the mode to make Christmas Cards, LOL! I did this last year too. It's just something about the Holiday that brings it out in me. Much easier for me to make my Christmas cards right after Christmas so that's just what I'm working on this week. It sure helped last year to get all my cards designed and pretty much finished during December and January however, I still had cards to make this November for my Mom so this year I hope to do both of ours for next year. This sketch is from H2H Challenges from this Summer. Of course, I'm still playing with my CTMH Jingle scraps! Supplies: Paper: CTMH Jingle, Stamps: CTMH Merry Pursuits, CTMH Bitty Sparkles, Misc Ribbon and Snowflake

Happy (Almost) New Year!

Oh Fun Memories....this was last year's CTMH Holiday Paper - Jingle! It's still one of my FAVORITE papers and I love using it although I cringe a little as I'm slowly using it up...LOL! (Roll Eyes Here!) BUT I KNOW you KNOW what I mean. There's just something about using your favorite paper and wondering if you'll ever find more? I do like this years, Mistletoe but it's more traditional colors and although it's pretty, it's just not this bright and colorful Jingle. A few of my friends are getting this CUTE Happy New Year Card from me. I think the sketch is from Cute Card Thursday and I apologize I didn't write down the date. Since it snowed here today with more coming tomorrow, it seemed only fitting to use my CTMH Snow Friends stamps. I'm sending a Shout Out with this card to my stampin' friends over at Heart2Heart Challenges Blog as they have a fun challenge going until Jan 3 to upload your favorite Holiday Cards! Supplies: CTMH Jingle, CTMH Snow Friends Stamps, CTMH Sparkles, Stickles, CTMH Tulip Big Brads, CB Snowflakes Folder

Home for the Holidays!

Whew, I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I last posted! I got busy in October with new responsibilities for work and somehow that "sucked the life" right out of my MOJO! I've tried, I've seriously tried but nothing seemed to work. I did get my Christmas cards made and sent out and have just started working on some Happy New Year Cards so I'm hoping to report I'm back....I just wanted to post tonight for Christmas Eve and wish all of you Merry Christmas! Life seems to be more back to normal pace so I plan to be back to posting regularly in January. I hope you enjoy your holidays! This card design came from MOJO Monday #164. Supplies: Paper: CTMH Mistletoe; Stamps: CTMH Snow Days, Holiday Commentary; Stickles, CTMH Bitty Sparkles, CB Dot Folder
