OCC 12/3/09 Sketch Challenge

What a great way to get some of my X-mas cards done by doing some of the awesome challenges!!! I made this card for the OCC sketch challenge. Make sure to stop by and check out what everyone came up with!!! I used PDDU for the gingerbread people (they are just too cute) and used an embossing pen to heat emboss the "icing" on them, also heat embossed the snowflakes on the corners and the sentiment. The ribbon is a navy blue..not sure if you can tell from the pic. TFL!!!!!!!!

Project Tuesday Easel Card

I thought this card was going to be a little tough to make since I have never made an easel card, but it is quite simple to do. This card also took me a few days to finish since I haven't been feeling well, oh well enough of my boo hooing. Please be sure to check out the DT's cards and all the cards from everyone who participated in the challenge HERE. Thanks for looking!!!

Make sure to stop over at OCC and check out all the wonderful cards that the DT and all the participants came up with. Absolutely amazing cards!!!!!! Thanks for looking!!!!!

Etched Mugs

I fell in love with these mugs that I found at the Dollar Tree. I thought they would be great for hot chocolate. So I bought several and decided to etch names and snowflakes on them. They names were pretty easy to etch, but the snowflakes were a little time consuming. It seemed like it took me forever to tape around everything because I didn't want the etching cream to get everywhere it was not suppose to be. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I am just showing one with a name because there are little snoops out there, lol, and I don't want them to see one with their name on it. I really don't remember what cart I used for the names...I think that I used a few different ones, but for the snowflakes I used Christmas Noel and Christmas Cheer Cricut carts. I used design studio so that I could cut out several snowflakes at various sizes. I plan on putting spoons dipped in chocolate, marshmallows and hot chocolate in the mugs. Thanks for looking!!!!!!

PROJECT TUESDAY POST IT NOTE HOLDER

What a super cute and super easy project to make!!! I love making these! Make sure you take a look at what the DT came up with HERE. I used the Pagoda cart for the vase and flowers (I love this cart!!!!!!). Thanks for looking!!!!!!!

Here's my last card for PAPER BLOOMS. I ended up making 2 since I had the paper cut...so why waste it. I'm sooooooo sad that there is not going to be anymore challenges at Paper Blooms:( I just started in the blog world not too long ago, and Paper Blooms was one of the first blog challenges that I participated in.
