BBTB2- Nativity

It's Christmas Week!

Awesome!

Today over at BBTB2 we have another Christmas/Holiday
Challenge-
Use a Nativity or Menorah.

I chose to use the Nativity from Winter Frolic.
I used a PKS baby face instead of the cuts from
the cartridge. I think it is adorable.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Happy Monday!
Today I am hosting the challenge over at BBTB2!
I decided on using a Holiday symbol,
such as an ornament or menorah.


I used Winter Frolic for this fun ornament.
My background paper is from The Paper Studio.
The ornament paper is from my scrap stash and
I used some silver glitter paper for the add ons.
My sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Cut It Up - Tic Tac Toe

Happy Friday!

Welcome to December and
the Christmas Season!

We are in full swing over at Cut It Up Challenges
with today's challenge!


Our Sponsor:
Prize: $5 Store Credit

My Project:

Digital Delights donated some super cute digi's for us
to choose from for our DT Projects,
I chose this adorable elf.
Now remember digi stamps and coloring are not my
strengths, so please forgive the amateur job.

Anyway, the Tic Tac Toe combo I chose was
Embossing, Glitter, Elf.
My Embossing is the red mat with Holly.
The Glitter is on the hat; 
I used Wink of Stella on the white front,
it's just hard to see in the pick.
I also added a glitter gem.

I hope you will join us over at Cut It Up
for our Holiday Tic Tac Toe challenge.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Happy Thanksgiving

Hello! Happy Monday!

Today over at BBTB2 we are challenging you
to include the word "Thanks" or "Thanksgiving"
on your cards or projects.


I found this "Happy Thanksgiving" phrase on the
Create-A-Critter 2 cartridge and wanted to use it.

I found some fun fall colored papers and layered them
to create this card.

I was lucky enough to have some Enamel Dots
that coordinated, so I used those to embellish.

I hope you will join us this week over at 
BBTB2!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Cut It Up - Halloween Non Traditional Colors

Happy Friday!!!

Today over at Cut it Up we have a
super fun challenge for you!

Cut It Up
Create a Halloween project using
Non-Traditional Colors!


One Happy Cut is our sponsor for this challenge.
They are offering a $15 Gift Code.

My Project:
I used Celebrate with Flourish for this awesome
Tree cut. I LOVE this image!

I decided to use a softer color palette for this
Non-Traditional card.
My background paper is from CTMH, the side strip
was just in my scrap stash, so I am not sure where that came from

The "Oct 31st" stamp is from Joy's Life
Halloween Puns.
The bat stamps are from Studio G.

I really like the way this card turned out.

I hope you will join us over at Cut It Up for this challenge!
