More Christmas.....


Hello,

StampTV Sketch


Hello, it's been awhile since I have done a StampTV Challenge. I totally love the new sketch that was posted today for this week! I used a Gina K Set called First Christmas. Since the Basic Grey Wassail 6X6 pad was still sitting out on my desk, I used it again. :)  The cardinal image is popped up for a little dimension. I'm starting to get on a roll with Christmas cards for this year, which is a good thing since Christmas is only 33 days away!  All I need is a little Christmas music....Hmmmmmm

Have a great Monday evening, 

Hugs ~ LJ

Christmas Blessings


Hello,


A little late-night stamping this evening. I went to a stamp/craft show last night, and found some new stamps to add to my collection, including a set by Our Daily Bread Designs.  This stamp is from "Luke 2:11". I think it just echoes the reason for the for the holiday season so perfectly.


Thanks for looking~

MOJO165


Hello,

Simple card this week for MOJO Sketch #165. I thought I would dig into some of the Kaiser Kraft Christmas Paper I found at CHA this summer and put it to use. I love this Merry Christmas stamp, it's been in my collection a long time, but probably not since the year that's on the top of the stamp (1992). LOL!

The base and ribbon is SU! River Rock Color, the Cranberry Tart cards tock is from Gink K Designs.

Thanks for looking ~

Duelng Diva's #4



Good Morning! 


It's time for this month's round of Dueling Divas. This month's hostess is Barbara Lynn, and the theme is "Thankfulness and Gratitude". Barb chose a beautiful whipper snapper image and sentiment for this month's challenge. She also included multiple embellishments, many of which are on my card, and some beautiful DP from Basic Grey (Indian Summer Collection).


Fall is a wonderful time of seasons, and my favorite seasons, I love the changing leaves, and the peaceful times before the winter days ahead allow me to reflect on things I am most thankful for, such as my health, my family & friends, and for the Lord above who is always watching over me and ones that I love. My life would not be the same without the many blessings I have been given, and for that I am very thankful not only during the fall season, but 12 months a year. 


I also decorated the inside o the card which is shown below:




I hope you enjoyed my post for today, Please check out the other Darling Diva's as well, 


Judy is next on the list

Holiday PTI Blog Hop


Hello, 

Hope you are enjoying this November Sunday. I joined a Paper Trey Ink card swap a few weeks ago, and some of us decided to do a Holiday Paper Trey Ink (PTI) Blog Hop. I decided to use Holiday Button Bits, and go with a bright card this time. Buttons are one of my favorite embellishments (along with ribbon of course) so of course I am in love with the "button" line of stamps from PTI. 

Here is a list of other PTI fans that are in the blog hop. I'm the last on the list, so if you haven't checked any of the other ladies' creations out yet, start with Kelli Jo:


Thanks and have a wonderful sunday!

MOJO164


Evening!

Here is my card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch (MOJO164). No stamping on this card! The pattern paper & chipboard pieces are from Basic Grey (Jovial). I'm totally in love with the chipboard in this collection, the snowmen are so cute (will share something later with those). The only other accessory I used was SU! Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon (Retired).

Thanks for looking, have a great night!
