Challenge Time with Snowflakes and Knit!

Hi,

I decided to play along with a couple challenges this week. I haven't had any time at all with Christmas quickly approaching and I feel like I am STILL getting caught up from being gone to be even able to think about making some Christmas cards but I had a little time, so I got down to it!

I played along with Curtain Calls "Sweet Snowflakes" and boy are the sweet. I just love cookies and I love snow so how could I say no :)

 I also paired it up with CASology's Que Word "knit". I liked the word and it just sounds soft and cozy. I didn't have anything in the way of stamps or stickers for this one, BUT, I did have really pretty piece of scrap crochet type of ribbon that I think goes perfect for knit.

I wasn't sure which picture I like better. I am trying my hand at adding more than one card to my pictures. I just love how these two cards turned out. I originally was only going to make one card but decided to cut the white cardstock with the snowflakes in half. I used a My Minds Eye Christmas stamp set to stamp the snowflakes in various colors. I then used my glue pad and re-stamped over all of them and added some of the Elizabeth Crafts Micro Fine glitter to all of the stamped images. I also added some of the glitter to my little snowflake wood piece to give an extra little sparkle. I finished off with some of my crochet ribbon and a pinky colored ribbon and then added  a Sweet Stamp Shop sentiment to the bottom.

I also made this fun little deer and snowflake card for fun. :)

Here are the Sweet Stamp Shop sets I used for the sentiments.

Sweet Stamp Shop Release Day!!!

Hi Friends,

I know it's been a couple weeks since I have blogged last...Life has been so crazy busy and lots has been going on. My kids have been on a two week fall break from school, so, lucky them, they have been spending it with all my family up in Washington State. This was the first time that my youngest has been there and my oldest didn't really remember anything from the time he was last there (about 5 1/2 years ago) They have been having so much fun, I hope they come back. They have been playing with tons of cousins (some meeting for the first time)like they hadn't missed a day in their life. It has been so amazing looking at all the pics and seeing this. Family time is so BEAUTIFUL and the most CHERISHED thing ever. I wouldn't want to change a thing. :)
