Santa's List

First I have to apologize for the quiet blog. Of course there was the hectic time before Christmas with all the shopping and baking etc. but then on Christmas morning my sweet Mother had a stroke.

Of course life was turned upside down!! She is doing fine physically but she is having a difficult time finding her words so she is very frustrated. She can't seem to do simple functions involving numbers and letters so cooking and microwaving meals are not an option.

We are settling into some sort of a routine and hopefully we can get her the rehab she needs.
Anyhoo.......

I was given some of the wonderful Teresa Collins "Santa's List" to play with from the store Scrapbook Memories and More.

Here is a card that I made.

 

Cardstock: Neenah

Everything else from SMM

 

I will be entering my card at:

Merry Monday

 



Welcome Christmas

So happy that I was able to complete another Christmas card! Playing along with the latest challenge at Merry Monday and also Challenge # 136 at The Kraft Journal gave me the inspiration to get my card done.

Other: watercolour paper, Glossy Accents, Nestabilities

 

It was a rainy dreary day today so I had fun sitting at my scrap desk colouring in this image.



Oh Christmas Tree

Yes I know that it's like 90 outside but I quickly had to get my card done on time for the Merry Monday challenge.

I didn't have much time before we were heading out for supper so it's not my best card ever.....that's for sure.....but I think it will do.

I tried to get a decent photo of the silver embossing but the lighting just wasn't great.

Monday Monday

Merry Monday that is!

Once again I played along with the latest sketch challenge # 61. I used my Cameo to cut the image out of some glittery paper.

 

Now after I made this card I wondered how it would look with the beautiful glittered paper as my base and the image in white.

 

And then I saw the negative image sitting on my desk and another card was born!

I also used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to put my card together.
