Happy New Year!

I have not been stamping much this week.  My boys are on school vacation, so we have been busy running around.  I did want to make a card for the new year.  I used this terrific digital image by Studio 313 called 2012.  I just love the font and the festive way the year is displayed!  You can find this image at www.mcmahonfivedesign.com.

Altered Frame and Merry Christmas!!!

Hope you all had a beautiful Christmas! I had a lovely day with my family! We got up nice and early to open gifts then relaxed the rest of the day. We had a terrific time on Christmas Eve at my parents house, too! Laughed a bunch, played card games and of course ate way too much!!! My sweet husband surprised me with a much wanted gift.....a Kuerig coffee maker.....I am still smiling (and drinking hot mochas)!!!

Well, I wanted to share a quick project I made for my mom. I framed a picture of her and her family. I just love looking at this precious picture of her, her four sisters and her mom and dad! My mom is on the far left.

I added some ruffled ribbon, felt flowers and a computer generated sentiment. I think she really LIKED it!

I used black and white ruffled ribbon from My Favorite Things, Rolled Rose Die-Namics from My Favorite Things and a computer generated sentiment. I distressed the edges.

Thanks so much for looking and again....Merry Christmas!!!

Mug of Holiday Happiness

Hello and Happy Thursday!

Looks like it is going to be a brown Christmas next weekend here in Minnesota. We have been getting rain, but no snow. My oldest is on the high school ski team and he is not happy! You need snow to ski! We will keep our fingers crossed!

Today I made a card for the Ways To Use It challenge over at www.splitcoaststampers.com. We were to find inspiration from something we placed in our "favorites". I found a darling paper mug creation done by Eileen LeFevre. I used a set by Studio 313 called Funny Little Christmas. I just love the image and sentiment! What a fun way to give someone a packet of hot cocoa!

CAS Challenge...Leaves

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I saw the movie "I don't know how she does it" starring Sarah Jessica Parker. It was cute! I played some tennis and am feeling very sore today! I brought my boys clothes shopping, too. They are growing like weeds!

The card I am posting today is for SCS's CAS challenge. You were to use leaves on your card. I used a digital set called Sophisticated Phrases by Studio 313. You can find this digi set at the McMahon Five Design store.

Recipe-

Paper: Always Artichoke, White, Kraft

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Rhinestones, Sponging, Cuttlebug Swirl Folder, Ribbon, Raffia, Button, Dimensionals

Thanks for looking today!

Chalkboard Technique

Thursday's challenge over at SCS was to use the chalkboard techinique. You stamp your image with white ink and place it on a dark colored cardstock. You then color your image with chalks or colored pencils. I used SU!'s watercolor pencils. The paper I used were white, pumpkin pie, basic black and lovely lilac. The accessories I used were SU! circle punches, piercing tool, purple rhinestones, sponging, dimensionals, button, white wire, cuttlebug folder and ruffled ribbon from MFT. What a fun technique! Thanks so much for looking!

This card is for the last Hotspot Challenge. Your creation must be all white with the exception

of your ribbon. You have the entire month of September to enter for your chance to win a

This card is also for Friday's Free For All Challenge over at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com. You were to use blue on your project. I thought this card would fit the challenge since it is a white on white card with an accent of blue.
