Exciting News

It's almost 1:30 Thursday morning here in Maine. I couldn't seem to fall asleep so I decided to come online and do a little blog hopping. And was very surprised and excited when I went to Susie's blog and found that I was the winner for last weeks sketch challenge!! You can see the card that I entered by going here. Here's the yummy goodies that I won:
This weeks challenge at Sussie's Sassy Designs is another great one that you're not gonna want to miss. And this weeks prize is to be a Guest DT member! How fun is that!

Well, since I've gotta get up to get a couple kiddos ready for school in just 4 1/2 hours I better go try to get some sleep.

Night All!

A Traditional Christmas Card

Good evening! I thought I would jump on here real quick, while my hubby finishes setting up our Christmas tree for me to decorate, and share with you this Christmas card. This is card #3 of the 3 cards I made yesterday while my mom was here. I didn't get a chance to post it last night like I wanted to.

This image is called Zoe & Gemma Snow Fun from Wags 'N Whiskers.

This card is for the following 5 challenges:

Crafting Life's Pieces: CLP 12 ~ Sketch

Creatalicious Challenge: Christmas with Snowflakes & Sparkle/Glitter

Wags 'N Whiskers: Traditional Christmas Colors & a Wags 'N Whiskers Stamp

Saturday Spotlight: Hats

Creative Card Crew: Christmas

Supplies: Wags 'N Whiskers Zoe & Gemma Snow Fun Stamp, EK Success Snowflake Punch, Red Gemstones & Green Gemstones

You know how back at the beginning of my post I told you I was waiting for my hubby to finish setting up the tree so I could decorate it. Well.....not only did he put the tree up, he also put the lights & garland on the tree, hung the wreath on the front door & put two holly light sets up in our living room window. What a sweetie! Now I'm off to start putting up the rest of the decorations. And maybe I'll even get a chance to sit down later and make some more cards to share tomorrow.

Have a great evening!
hugs,

Pretty in Pink

Hi! I hope you all had a wonderful Tuesday. My mom and I spent the day creating Christmas cards. Then I took my kiddos to get their H1N1 flu shot. I was finally able to get them in to have it done. Our school district had a flu clinic this afternoon for the kids. My daughter hates getting shots, so she is very upset with me right now. But it needed to be done. Now if I can just get myself in to have one than we will be all set. Our Dr's office has not had any for several weeks now. I called them today and they are hoping to get some in this week. So keep your fingers crossed for me. I really need to get that shot as I am one of the "lucky" people they said needed to get the shot asap because of an underlying condition (Asthma). The last time I came down with the flu it landed me in the hospital with pnemonia. Don't wan't to go that route again! I'm still trying to get the regular flu shot too. But enough of my rambling......

.....onto my first card I've got to share with you tonight. (I have 3 total).

The image that I used is from The Greeting Farm and is part of the Miss Anya Rain, Snow, Shine collection. I thought she would look so pretty done all up in pink. I don't know...there's just something I like about how the Christmas cards look when done with non-traditional Christmas colors.

This card was done for 3 challenges:

Little Paper Shop: Recycle It! ~ For this challenge you were to create a card using a previous LPS sketch of your choice. I chose this one that was originally posted on February 23, 2009.

Creatalicious: Create something for Christmas & add snowflakes and lots of sparkle/glitter.

Creative Card Crew: Christmas

Supplies: The Greeting Farm Miss Anya Rain Snow Shine Stamp Collection, EK Success Snowflake Punch, Frosted Lace Stickles, Pink Gems, Offray Simply Grossgrain Pink Ribbon, Fiskars Texture Plate Dots.

I hope you enjoyed my card. I'll be back with 2 more cards to share with you tonight. Oh yeah! Check it out! I finally figured out how to do a "fancy signature" for my blog!!
