NaBloPoMo-I DID IT!!

I am so thrilled to say that I met my challenge and blogged EVERY day for the month of November! What a challenge it was for me! Now I can take down the stickie note that has decorated my bathroom mirror for a month reminding me to blog every day!!

My card for today is one of a set of 12 that I made for my school grade level team to give with our holiday gifts to administrators, secretaries and custodians. The tree is all glittery wherever you see white lines in the image. Unfortunately, that portion of the card didn't photograph well, again!!

Antlers Riley

Happy Monday! I love my new Antlers Riley. Riley gets himself in all sorts of predicaments and today is no different! Today he has his Christmas lights all wound around his antlers. He just makes me smile!! That's good for an early Monday morning.

Stamp: Antlers Riley
DP: candy dp: Heidi Grace Designs, dots dp: We R Memory Keepers
CS: Real Red: Stampin' UP, lime green
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
Extras: Copics, Black Spica Glitter marker, Dazzling Diamonds: Stampin' UP

Joy!

I made this card for the Crazy 4 Challenge to use script in your background. I love this stamped image and plan to make many more of this card to send out. Yes, I am still working on getting my own Christmas cards done while making card requests for others!! At least the card requests help pay for this little stamping addiction of mine:)

All of the elements (except the stamps) on this card from the dp to the ribbon to the pearls are from the Tinsel and Twig Pantry Set by Taylored Expressions. It was so fun to get a kit with all the "pieces" right there where I needed them. I usually enjoy searching through my stash for just the right elements, but it was a fun change to have them all ready for me in a kit!!

Celebrate

Good Morning! Today's card is CAS. I let the papers do the talking and added the cute little snowman circle for my focal point. A little doodling on the red cs and I was done.

Happy Friends with Flair!!

Happy Friday! I distressed a lot on this card, with a sanding block and brown ink. I thought that the distressed look went well with this stamp set and the coordinating Jillibean soup paper. As you know by now they are a favorite for me this season. My husband found the tickets in a dusty closet at his work and brought them home for me. How sweet:) The snowflake brads are old ones from my stash. I believe they are from Making Memories, but I'm not sure if they are in the stores anymore. I have some white ones also that you may see pop up sometime soon:) Oh! I am also entering my card in the Crazy 4 Challenges to use circles. Again, I thought this set was perfect!!

Have a great day!!
