Loonie Stampers Challenge #16

This week was Regan's pick and I was afraid at first but when I finally started building my project, I was delightfully impressed with how the colors looked together.

I started by making the card and then realized that I had not used any kraft, so I went to get some out and low and behold I could not find it. I KNOW I have some but who knows where exactly. So instead I did an add on project using a PTI Kraft Coffee bean bag (Is that what they are called??? lol) So I made it to match and I plan to bake some cookies to put in the bag and give it to the principal at my Daughter's School.

I also need to say THANK YOU to Charlene who is a super duper friend and managed to get me the "somewhat hard to find" labels Spellbinders set. They are DIVINE and I have a few more projects coming up using them.

Happy Turkey Day to my USA Friends

Just wanted to pop in and wish all my American Friend a VERY happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you all have safe, wonderful dinners with LOTS of turkey, stuffing and all the greatest food and comfort with your families and friends!!! Which Reminds me I should phone my In Laws n Colorado!!

Have a great day and we will see you all Tomorrow for Loonie Stampers Challenge!! (Which I actually managed to finish early)

Casing a Genius

I Love ALL things Nichole Heady does in the paper crafting world. I love her stamp sets, her Perfect Match and everything creates with them. During the release of Snowflake Serenade she made a card similar to this but showcased the Faux Silk Technique and so I changed it up a little and I am in LOVE with the results.

I do not often like just red, green and white on Christmas cards as I don't "do" traditional Christmas. With the right tools and a great "case" I might even make a few more of this card.

Loonie Stampers Challenge #15

Welcome to Round #15!! This week it was Char's turn to pick and I was actually nervous about the colors, Strange I know. SO as I was working on some invitations for a Christmas Party I realized I had a red, white and Silver already (that I made yesterday) No Last Minute Stuff here this week. Don't worry I am sure I will make up for it next week.

Sorry for the crappy picture, I forgot to take a picture in the daytime.....Maybe Santa will bring me a light box. Enjoy the invite (The words to it are below)

Invitation Verse:

Twas 4 nights before Christmas
And at the Quinton household
We are throwing a party
And the rest shall unfold.

Justin’s guitar will be strummin’
We’ll be singin’ along
The booze will be plenty
You’ll be drinkin’ all night long.

With Sarah’s baking a plentiful
Bring what you see fit
You can’t have a party without food
I mean you gotta admit.

The house will be rockin’
The laughter and glee
You’ll be able to feel it
In fact you might pee!

So come join in our merriment
We’ll see you at 6
On December 20th
Come and get your kicks!

Snowflakes & Mittens

Luckily we have not had to drag those mittens out yet...knock on wood. Can you believe that?!? The middle of November in Western Canada and we are still going out in light jackets. I wish it would stay all the way until Christmas Eve.

On to the card....

I stamped Soft sky (last years SU In color....cause my second aqua mist pad is like stamping water) Snowflakes from the snowfall and snowfall additions sets onto stampers select. Then I used some more new beautiful Christmas paper from the line "Snowy Jo Glitter Paper" from Imaginisce. LOVE it, Love it, love IT! I ordered from a store in Hamilton, Ontario...very cool and cheap shipping within Canada.....www.discountscrapbooksupplies.com

So after I layered 2 of the nice patterns I stamped the snowflakes and mittens in white craft and embossed with iridescent Ice. Then I cut everything out and arranged in my card. Other then that it is blank inside and out for sentiments....I am leaving it open for thought...LOL
