A Shabby Chic Christmas Card

The MFPSpeedyTV Inspiration Challenge has started back and this week we are inspired by Shabby Chic Bedrooms:



After seeing these pictures, I want to redo my bedroom! I love them all, but I was inspired by the third one - all that lace and the pink really captured my imagination.


I used the Create with Pine Boughs set (still my favorite MFP stamp set ever).

Hugz!!!

    I think my bedroom is in need of a makeover after seeing those gorgeous photographs Nancy- unfortunately it will have to join the queue behind the bathroom!
    Your card is a perfect example of shabby chic, such lovely soft papers and pretty lace.

    A really pretty Shabby Chick card. I can definitely tell which picture inspired you. I like that you used this for a Christmas card, I like using colors other than the normal red and green.

    Nancy,
    I really like shabby chic, but just have to learn how to work that vein. Your colors on your beautiful card are wonderful and the lace is lovely and elegant.

    What a wonderful shabby chic card patterned after that bedroom! I'd choose the purple one in the center - and look how the outdoors have come right indoors where you sleep! How dreamy is that!

    Nancy, this is gorgeous!!! I believe that is the first punch I ever bought. LOVE what you did with it! You gave your ornament a beautiful setting with the white washed paper and pretty lace!

    Anything with beautiful lace always gets my attention. And this is just lovely with the vintage shade on that distressed background. The simplicity of the ornament is perfect with the other elements of this card's design. Well done. I'm off to look at the earlier post, that I just glimpsed some gorgeous flowers as the current post scrolled up. Happy New Year, TFS & hope it will be a warmer weekend in your area. Brrrr! At least we had sunshine - and it was warmer today (relatively speaking!). Hugs

    Such an unusual Christmas card. I like the softness to it and the candle behind the card looks perfect for the picture.

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. ...
