Santa!

 

Hi friends!

It must be Santa!

I just adore this clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps!

The sweet look on Santa's face with his bag of toys

is just dreamy <3

It's hard to believe 

the. holidays. are. already. here!

But I do know that the man from the North Pole 

will be here in 35 days!!!!

It's been a whirlwind here for our family and

honestly .......

I don't even know what day of the week it is most of the time!

Just keep it movin', that's my motto!

For this card, I used Santa at the door clear stamps

and colored it with my prismacolor markers.

I also added a die cut Drippy Frame Die for the falling snow.

This is a great staple die to have in your collection ~

it's perfect for oooey gooey at Halloween,

snow in the winter,

frosting for the birthdays!  

Endless FUN!

You can see this card and others here on my Instagram

and keep an eye out for an upcoming REEL! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Trick or Treat card!

 

Hi friends!

I'm back on the Crackerbox Stamps blog today

with a super fun Trick or Treat card!

For today's card, I stamped Ghost Flying onto the top sky corners

and the Halloween Kids on bottom panel.

The faux watercolor background was created by smooshing

ink and water onto the cardstock.

I let the colors dry and then stamped directly onto the paper.

Here's another look

AND a reminder that there is a 50% off sale!

Check it out here!

If you'd like to do some holiday and Christmas shopping,

there's a sale going on right now for past hoilday stamps.

Wow!

Merry Christmas, everyone! ♥

Hi friends!

Just stopping by to wish you all

a very Merry Christmas!

I'm taking some time off to be with my family,

enjoy the festivities and the joys of the holidays!

Today's card is a stamp using Rubber Stampede's Santa Collage,

one of my treasured Santa stamps!

This is probably the second time I've inked it up

but here he is ♥

Wishing you the happiest of holidays!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Santa's Day Off!!

 Hi friends!

If you ever wondered what Santa does in his free time,

I'm pretty sure it's this!

Karaoke!

 

Tee hee!

I just love this card :)

I love making cards just for the fun of it - 

being inspired just by being silly!

 

Santa is from Jingle all the way from MFT Stamps

and probably one of my favorite Santa stamps.

For this card, I used my Ranger distress oxide ink in black soot,

masked off a section to leave unmarked to resemble a spotlight

and blended and blended until it was finished.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed WOW white embossing powder

on red cardstock and created the funny song he's singing,

popped him up on foam for dimension and that's it!

Super fun, super cute!
He was actually part of a series I had planned to make ...
but like most of my best laid plans, I never have the time!
You may - or may not - see another one or four before Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

CCEE1747 ~ Holiday Stash Card

 

HaPpY tHaNKsGiViNg!

 

I wish each and every one of you a very blessed

and wonderful Thanksgiving!

 There is truly something so wonderful about this day,

surrounded by family and friends, sharing a loving meal.

I send you blessings of gratitude for your friendship ♥

 

 Although we are celebrating Thanksgiving today,

today's card is a festive and whimisical Christmas card :)

That's because the CCEE Stampers post every Thursday,

and Joanne wanted us to make a 'holiday stash card",

as she shares here:

This week we are going to make a card for our holiday stash. You can make a Christmas card, a New

 Year’s card, or a winter card….. whichever you think you need the most for your stash.

 Thanks, Joanne!

I definitely need to have a few more Christmas cards in my stash.

 Because this week was absolutely bonkers busy,

I used this adorable Snoopy image that I colored last month 

and quickly assembled it into a card.

The papers are from Doodlebug and I colored it with prismacolor markers.

 

FUN FACT!

A Charlie Brown Christmas debuted in 1965 and has never missed

a year being televised on TV!

We watched it as kids faithfully each year when we lived in the US,

and now I watch it with my own children ♥

 

Be sure to stop in the CCEE Stampers blog list 

and see what the other girls have made this week!
If you link up your card, use the keyword CCEE1747.

 

Have a great Thanksgiving!

If you head out for some shopping, be safe!

 

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

*Let it Snow!*

Let it snow in Miami?  

A girl can dream! That would be SNOW wonderful! :)

Hello friends! Long time no blog :{

Life (with 4 active school kids) has taken over full force,

but in a good way! And I've kicked my exercise up a notch

 and have added on 2 evenings so my oldest daughter can run with me

 on her college nights off :)  

Lucky me, I got my card done in time for the Calendar Girls monthly

card posting ~ this month, it was hostessed by Sweet P!

She gave us this theme to work with:

For the usually HOT and HUMID month of AUGUST, I would rather do something to get cooled off ...but what?

mmmm..I got it! We could make some SNOWballs....or even SNOWangels in the middle of summer, but how? ♥

Here's what I suggest :

Your challenge for this month is to create something with anything that begins with the word SNOW.

However, here's the catch: Your card should NOT reflect Christmas at all...

...but rather just images AND sentiment ( s ) that start with *SNOW*. 

Once you blog your card, please also make sure to add what was your word choice 

that your card reflects, and also WHY you selected THAT particular word...

Thank You and happy stamping .....Have FUN 'chilling out' on a hot summer day....♥

Paola 

aka Miss August ♥ 

And here's the front of my card:

 And the inside:

 I used the ever adorable Snowball Riley who is having just way too much fun without me!  I want to romp in the snow! :)

I colored Riley with the same colors pulled from the papers.

And you know I love me some buttons and ric-rac,
 it's hard to create anything without either :) 

The dsp is from a Christmas collection from K & Co which I scored at Marshalls for $1.99 this summer - a 12 x 12 pad of wonderful holiday paper!

And then the inside ... another one of my fave things to do ~

I added a matching Funny Bones Riley and Company sentiment - hee hee!

And the word I chose to use .......... SNOWBALL!!

Be sure to stop on over and see what the other CG girls made using

the fun snow theme - you can find them in my sidebar!

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
