A Few More Christmas Cards

My sister Sharon and our cousin Carol came over today and we made Christmas cards. My daughter Allie came by too, and we all zipped over to my Mom's house (she lives next door) for some fresh baked Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip cookies. What a great day!


This one is made with a new Squigglefly image called Bare Tree by Pamela Lehto. Such a cute image! I am entering this in the Christmas Card Challenge #49 - Dimension.


I did this one for the MIX41 Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge is to use no paper other than as a card base. I used some foil tap which I embossed and cut out using the Tim Holtz Tattered Flower die. The center of the flower is a Jolee's sticker given to me by a sweet friend for my birthday. I added a bit of Stickles to the greenery from a Dollar Tree pick.


This card is made with an image new to Squigglefly by Dawn Collins called Patchwork Bird. I love this bird and I have several more ideas for Christmas cards made with it.

Hugz!

    Nancy I just adore the color scheme on these. Your first card has such great texture, and I love the raffia and the piercing you did. Your second card looks like a vintage Christmas card. I love all the different embossing textures on your flower. The last card is really cute and you picked a great sentiment to go with it. You are getting quite a pile of Christmas cards!

    How wonderful to have family to make cards with and have your Mom next door. So much to enjoy. Love your wonderful cards, Nancy. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Put that to music. :-)

    Nice productive day you had making these beautiful cards, but the best part, I'm sure, was spending time with family and eating those delicious sounding cookies. Maybe I'll come down to visit your Mom someday soon and get some of those cookies for myself. YUM!! LOL Enjoy your Sunday

    Sounds a great day crafty, family, and peanut butter cookies.
    Loving your cards I especially like your first one, not that there is anything wrong with the others of course.

    Awesome cards. I love the little tree with the ice/glitter effect. It's so very sweet. Very creative putting the tree die behind the focal point to.

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
