Some Tea and Christmas Thoughts


This card was a case of PegMac71 at SCS who was named Queen For the Day this week. I was inspired by her lovely Enjoy the Season Cards. I kept her Tea theme, but changed up the sketch a tiny bit and added a few more layers. I am also entering this in the Pile It On (patterned paper) and the My Heart Pieces (layers) challenges. The image is from Pattie's Creations.


I love this darling Pattie's Creations Pattieboop and Allie Waiting For Santa image. I am entering this in the Pattie's Creations Challenge #52 - Embossing.


The other Day my friend Sue Worthington and I decided to buy exactly the same image at exactly the same time. We agreed to buy this darling Mo Manning image. The plan also includes doing a card and loading it before Monday at noon. I was inspired by the Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers this week Angela R. I am entering this card in the Mo's Challenge DP2 #151 (Anything Goes) and the Creative Card Crew Challenge #18 (Christmas).

Hugz!

    WOW three outstanding cards. I love your "tea" card. That gorgeous cup looks like something my grandmother would have had in her kitchen. The doily seems to go perfect with it and I love all your little gems and papers. Just beautiful. Your second card is so very cute with your embossing and that adorable image. Your third card is just fabulous. Great idea with the three panels and your coloring on your image is spot on.

    Loving the doily behind the tea cup on the first card - perfect for the card. The window you created on the second is adorable!! Love the touch of snow :) And loving the image on the last card - so precious and wonderfully coloured! Well done on all three cards :)

    Fabulous card for Peggy...love that yellow teacup, so pretty! All your cards are great, Nancy. Funny about the two of you getting that precious image at the same time. It made such a gorgeous card and the music bg is just perfect.
    Yes, you can have my stacked snowman card for Christmas if you like. It is a winner at CASology today. How exciting is that? Of course, if Pamzi finds out you asked for it, she'll be asking, too. LOL

    All three are great cards, Hard to pick a favorite, but I am always drawn to cards with teacups and teapots (Must be because of the SCS teapot challenges...smile) I like how you did it in yellow. Stunning! The Christmas card is so lovely. Must go look at Sue's card too, TFS...Blessings, Jill

    All of your cards are just beautiful...although I am partial to the one's using Pattie's Creations Images lol. You have done such a wonderful job of not only colouring these great images, but of also choosing your pp's and embellishments.

    Thanks for playing in our challenge!

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
