Maybe Christmas Doesn't....

Good morning! We had a really good weekend
visiting several different family members,
during and after our daughters volleyball games at the tournament.
I also got to mass produce cards with my mom yesterday
and boy was that fun. It helped her out and we got crafty together.
It has been about 5 years since we have been
able to do so what we accomplished.
For me it was heaven to have an extra hours sleep
this morning! Sleep is a beautiful thing.

Today being Monday,
it is my day to share a new creation
is the stamp set I used to create
this very clean and simple card. 
Clear stamps, card making, rubber stamping, paper crafts,
The sentiment is amazing with
the deer, snowflakes and trees.
It is so true Christmas is more
than what comes from a store.
Although...craft supplies are really, really good...*wink*
The paper is whisper white and cherry cobbler.
The embossing folder and stamp are from Stampin' Up.

Hoping I can get a better picture tomorrow 
still struggling with the light in my room.
The sentiment is really crisp and clean
which makes it pop in person.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create - #215 Anything Goes (optional twist - Christmas/winter)
Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog - Challenge #4 - Anything Goes

Be sure to check out The Project Bin Blog for more
inspiration everyday.

Happy crafting and have a blessed week.

You're The Sprinkles On Top!

Good, good morning too you!
It is almost Halloween, only a few days away.
I probably sound like a broken record but where
did this month go?
Our son Robin's little family carved the most 
coolest pumpkins this year.

Today, it is about donuts and sprinkles for
this girl. Have you ever had such a bad 
craving for something? My craving of choice
was a donut and man I wasn't driving to town for one.
So out came my Hole Foods stamp set
Clear stamps, donuts, yoga, memes, stamping, card making
It wasn't meant to be but coloring one up was
just as good *wink*.
My pink donut was colored using Copic Markers.
The punch and papers are all from Stampin' Up.
Also used were pop ups, scissors and my Misti.

Join us each day at The Project Bin blog
my fellow team mates, always have
such amazing inspiration each day of the week.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for all comments
they brighten my day.
Happy crafting!

North Pole

Good morning to you all! Sorry my post is up late today,
as apparently, I thought it should go live at 6 pm tonight not am.
A little hick up in the start of my Monday. Now that I am up and going
here is what is going on...

We had a crazy weekend full of birthday parties and lot's
of volleyball. Our daughter and her team brought home
the Gold metal from this tournament. It was so very exciting to watch
and cheer them on.

So today, being Monday it means, I have a 
brand new creation for you using a stamp set
card making, winter, winter card ideas, snow, north pole, sentiments, stamping, paper crafts, clear stamps, hand made cards, hand stamped cards, card ideas
It is called North Pole.
 I just love this set and had a blast coloring up the image
with my copic markers. The white area's are filled in
with glitter called Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin' Up.
The paper is all from Stampin' Up and the oval and circle dies are too.
I love the pattern papers, they remind me of a really 
nice rustic Christmas and the sentiment is awesome.
I bet we all know a lot of people in our lives that 
we love from the North Pole and back.

This stamp set is another hit for Denise.
It also feels good getting a start on my Christmas cards
this year.

When I saw this sentiment and the script of it,
the pattern paper from
Bo Bunny came to mind and so did this card sketch.
Out came my Gina Marie stitched circle die, my 1 inch circle punch,

The sentiment was stamped using Momento tuxedo black ink.
It just makes the sentiment pop on the color of this  paper.

Autumn Breeze


Good morning! Welcome to my blog. 
It is hard to believe how fast October is flying by.
Exciting too, for the kids as they are almost half way done
their first semester. We have been watching our daughter
play volleyball and just finding that the days seem to be 
going at warp speed. I will be getting my eye's dialated today
so I won't be looking so good...hee hee. For some reason
it takes my eyes 48 hours to completely go back to normal.

We have a brand new challenge up at Creative Knockouts.
Kelly has a fun Fall challenge for us. Except we might
have skipped most of fall with the snow fall we keep having.
It melts and then it comes back. Praying that our farmers
will still be able to get their crops off before permanent snow.

Challenge #267 - FALL
We have an amazing sponsor this week The Paper Shelter
Thank you so much for sponsoring our challenge
and for letting me high light this wonderful image
called Autumn Breeze
Prize: 3 Images
http://www.thepapershelter.com/index.php?main_page=

My card above was colored using Copic Markers.
The flowers, staples, brad, embossing folder and pattern paper
just from my stash.
Early Epresso paper has been used for the base
and embossing the triangles.

I would like to enter my card into the Fab'n'Funky Challenge - #411 - Autumn Colors

Thank you so much for joining me today.
May your day be filled with many blessings.

Blessings

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian family and friends!
My heart continues to be filled with joy
because I have you in it.
We gather on this day to be thankful for what we have,
for the family we love, for the friends we cherish, and 
for the blessings that will come.
Whether we are with family or friends let's take
time to say thanks for those here and for those who have passed
and give thanks for each moment past and present
and cherish it.

For The Project Bin today,
my card is using the stamp set
called Eat Pie

I really adore the sentiments in this set,
perfect for giving thanks.


The card above is made with unknown pattern paper
and stampin' up paper. I used scissors for the red strip
of paper and copic markers R27 for the leaf.

Come on over to The Project Bin
each day our fabulous team has more inspiration for you.

Have an amazing day!
To everyone who stops in for a peek at my cards
Thank you

Oh, Sing Choirs of Angels

Happy first day of October.
It seems strange that we have finished the month of
September already but one month of school
is already over.
This week is an exciting week, we have two volleyball games to
watch and I even went to watch our friends son play
football yesterday. 
Oh and I have started to crochet a Christmas present too.
I suddenly realized that Christmas is not that far away.

So when choosing a stamp set from The Project Bin
to highlight for you today,
it is all about Christmas.

The Stamp Set:

 A clean and simple card design
was the feeling, I had while making
this card. 
Christmas time is my favorite time of year!
The joyful songs to sing and this one is one of my
favorites.
The papers are from Stampin' Up as well as the Twine.
The Dies are from Sizzix.
Clear Stamps, Christmas, Christmas Cards, Christmas carols, stamping, clear stamps, paper crafts
Soon, it will be time to put the Christmas songs
on, not to mention the wonderful Christmas movies.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
The Corrosive Challenge Blog - Challenge #9-September- Anything Goes
