I colored this image a couple of weeks ago and wasn't happy with it at all so I set her aside.  As I was leafing through my DP last night I found some that I thought would look really cute with her.  I've never made a pastel colored Christmas card, but I figure that's what challenges are for...to challenge yourself.  So here goes...




I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Just Magnolia - Anything Goes w/Sparkle
All That Scraps Magnolia Challenge - Something Christmas
Sketch and Stash - Sketch w/new or neglected stash (Tilda stamp is new)

I hope you all enjoyed my card.

Prairie Fairy's Spread the Word Candy

Prairie Fairy has moved back to Blogger and is having a candy giveaway to celebrate.  Check it out here.

Candy Alert!!!

Just wanted to pass on some blog candy I just stumbled across.  Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Blog had such a great response to their first candy that they are having another candy giveaway.  Be sure to check it out!

Snowman Notepad

The whole time I was putting this together I was shaking my head, saying "I don't know about this." (I talk to myself often while crafting).  I'm very happy with how this notepad turned out though.  I don't know about you, but I really like the blue/brown color combo for Christmas.  I wasn't too sure about the brown snowflakes and star, but once I put the Stickles on I knew they were exactly what I wanted.  I'm surprised I managed to fit everything on the front of this since it's just over 3" all the way around.





I am entering this into the following challenges:
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - 3 snowflake, 2 circles & lace
Sketch Saturday  - Sketch
Really Reasonable Ribbon - ABC Winter
Creative Inspirations  - Christmas Gifts
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge - ABC
Make it Crafty  - ABC
Sew Many Cards  - Snowflakes


Have a great weekend!

Doxie Christmas

I've had this stamp for a while and finally got around to using it.  I thought the Doxie was cute.  It's hard to tell from my crummy pics but this card is sparkly all over. 



I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Card Patterns - Sketch
Paper Romance - Winter

Thanks for looking & have a great day!
