Dreaming of Christmas

What an amazing weekend!!! Friday night to mid Sunday afternoon. It is not very often that Lori and I are able to sit down and craft a whole weekend away...so christmas came early this year!!! :). Who could have asked for a better weekend, crafting, living, laughing and creating with a very good friend. Creating Christmas cards has always been a treat. We laughed so hard over some of our forgotten stamps...some could say we even missed them...LOL...LOL. As we became more tired we giggle more, became a little slower, but what can I say...crafting is always worth a few sleepless nights. Check out Lori's blog at Inkingly Yours she has some really amazing cards and scrappin pages. I believe that some of these layouts were I think from Dawn Easton again.

Last night my good friend Lori and I were crafting. Most of the designs for the cards were cased from Dawn Easton. We loved her layouts and did change up a few of her layouts with different colors, punches, and some other little ideas. Please check out my friends blog at Inkingly Yours. It was nice to take a little break from christmas cards...but only for a bit "wink, wink" :). I just loved the colors and designs of these two cards. We made two of each and the second ones had a different saying or pearls.

Home for Christmas

Good night everyone. Well it is almost morning here...LOL.

I had fun coloring this card. My problem was picking the paper...I cut more than I should have. Lesson pick my colors first...LOL. Oh and I free styled the snow and I think I will stick with the Swiss Dot's, I always over do it :) :)

Let me know what you think of the color combo with the stamp. This is my first time using this stamp. I got it last year. It is very cute and different layouts would look very neat.

I used Home for Christmas stamp, Paper: very vanilla,real red, chocolate chip and designer paper. Markers, and dazzling diamond glitter. Very Vanilla Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a good sleep, I am now head off to bed.

Til next time keep smiling.

Season's Greetings

Good afternoon Everyone!!!
It is a very beautiful day here a little windy, but the sun is awesome. Wishing you all some laughter today.

So this was the card I was working on last night. I felt it was lacking something so I was trying to improve it a bit...LOL. It turned out so much different than what I had in my head...:) :)

This is my second attempt at sprucing up this card. This time instead of the navy pearls, I used gold brads and I braided the gold elastic, because I just was not sure what to do. It just seemed like it was missing something near the bottom. I think it looks ok. I love this stamp it is beautiful.

What you need:

Stamps : Scenic Season

Paper: Night of Navy, Brushed Gold and Very Vanilla

Ink: Versamark

Other: gold brads, gold embossing powder, and gold elastic and a punch.

I am working on another card that I hope to post this evening, it might be late, but I hope not.

Thanks for stopping by.

Til next time, share a smile with someone, you just might make their day.
