Christmas Card Catch Up!

Is it just me or is Christmas coming at us faster every year?  Seems like I was in the stores in August wondering why there were so many Christmas things and I turned around and there are only a few days left! 

I have a bit over half of my presents purchased.  I just got my tree up last week (had to do that before Bunco night or people would worry about me - lol).  I am running super far behind!

Sadly, I haven't sent out cards and haven't made very many either. Needless to say, I am trying to catch up on some Christmas cards fast!

Here are a douple.  The first one is for the DRS Designs Gold and Silver challenge this week - still runs until Wednesday if you want to play too.  I used the DRS Designs Christmas Especially to you greeting. My die cuts are from SU!  I did the sentiment in silver embossing powder and added silver glitter for my snow effect.


The current Paper A La Mode challenge is Christmas and the sponsor is My Besties.  I used this darling Lil Angel Wings image.  I have never used a My Besties image and I loved it - you just get lost in her giant eyes. I colored her with colored pencils but next time I am using alcohol markers so I can do a better job on her hair!



Lastly, I made a tag to match the above DRS card - I made it with scraps from the card.  I cut the die cut up so I got a horse and a sleigh to use on the tag.  The image is a custom image you can order from DRS Designs called Custom Christmas Village Custom Name Sign.  They will put anything you can fit on it.  I had then put Mortar Creek Farms because that is what we call our little property and my parent's property together.  Fun! 


 
Hope you are doing better than me on the Christmas preparations! 
 
Many hugz!!!!

    Wow your creative juices come to life when you are under the gun. Maybe you should wait until last minute every year. LOL I am so far behind that I ended up purchasing some cards and gift card holders. I'll remember to slap my own hand, bag girl!!! Enjoy your day and those babies.

    I'm completely in denial about Christmas at the moment, it's my son's 20th Birthday on Friday, I'll start thinking about Christmas after that!
    A fabulous collection of projects, I love the first card and your tag is beautiful.

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!

It's time for the New Release Blog Hop at Dude Time Doodles ! I am thrilled to show off Elmer Elf - just one of the four new images. I love them all and plan to make Christmas cards with every single one of them. Be sure and pick them up soon in the store if you like them because all the Dude Time Doodles Images will be retiring in the next few weeks - sniff, sniff! If you came to my blog from Sharon's amazing blog you can continue on to Mags who has another wonderful creation to show you. Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around. Be sure and leave comments because one of the DT members is the mystery host/hostess and one of the commenters on their blog will win free images from the store. Hugz!!

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....
