2 in a row??

I guess I'm inspired.  And the papertrey paper dolls challenge is right up my alley....nothing better for a time limited project then a CASEd card.  I managed to sneak this in during Cam's morning nap!

They're asking us to check out Dawn McVey's blog and find something to CASE.  Here's what I found:

And here's my CASEd version:

I stuck pretty close to the original.  I think I'm going to make a few of these to send out this year.  A great quick card to make during naptime.  :)  

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Wishes

Hurray for Christmas!  Today I decided to take my inspiration from the ColourQ challenge.  I think these non-traditional Christmas colors make a great holiday card.

The snowman is from a recent Close to my Heart stamp of the month and the sentiment is from the Old Island Stamp Company (a Canadian company - yay!)  The snowman was colored with copics.  The papers are all Papertrey Ink and the snowflakes are some left over Basic Grey rub-ons that I had laying around.  I used Laura's sketch 66 at 2sketches4you.

Easy holiday sewing project for baby!

So I decided to haul out the old sewing machine to make a couple of receiving blankets for Christmas.  I got this super cute fabric from My Mind's Eye and I am just in love with it.  This first one is for a very good friend of mine who's baby is due right around Christmas.  Here is a close-up of the pattern:

Cute right?  I just love the pink side - perfect for a baby girl.  Now of course I had to make one for myself too - I suppose I'll just have to keep it in storage until next Christmas  :)  Here's a pic of that one:

Same red snowman flannelette, but the opposite side has the words to the Twas the Night Before Christmas story.  I hope my little man will like it!

And on a side note, I was to share this awesome bib I just received as a gift.  It was picked up at the Art Market here in Calgary this weekend.  It's made by a Canadian company Mally Bibs - they have a huge selection of supercute bibs!  Isn't it the cutest?

Countdown to Christmas!

Well, this weekend I got the majority of my Christmas shopping done and it really got me in the Christmas spirit.  :)  As soon as I got all those presents wrapped I ran to my craft room to start making some gift tags.  Here is the start of it!  

I used my trusty cricut to cut out the tag shape from the Joys of the Season cartridge.  Then I stamped and colored away to my hearts content.  Oh, and stickled.  Yes, I've decided stickled is a word.  

I hope everyone had a great weekend (especially with that extra hour of sleep)!
