Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

This week's DRS Designs Challenge is all about the HOT TREND of: 
Dry Embossing!
 
(use any dry embossing technique..embossing folders, scoring, or the old fashioned way with a stylus & stencil).

I used a cool Sizzix circle frame embossing folder to frame my images.  The folder has a fun little spring looking flower around the edge so I covered it up with some holly and branches (from a new image coming to DRS Designs soon).  I added some ornaments (also soon to be released) and the fun Small Merry Christmas Greeting. 


 
 
 
I love how this came out and it may be my go to Christmas card this year.  Hope you can join us in the challenge.  I am also entering this card in Jeannie's Dragonfly Journeys' Color Challenge - thanks for letting me know about it Jeannie! 

Hugz!

    What a great look with the embossed circles and partial frame! That is also a great cover up! Thanks for the comments on my card. It is hard for us to believe - we are going to be giving up our RV lifestyle (age is getting in the way) in just a few days. What mixed emotions for us....

    This is stunning. That embossing is just perfect and your choice of colors for your ornaments is so nice as well as the shapes of them. Have a great day.

    Hi Nancy! Such a stunning Christmas card this is with that gorgeous embossed background. I love how you covered it up with the holly, and whoever receives it will be over the moon! Thank you so very much for joining in my Color Inspiration challenge this week, and I do hope you'll come back in the future too.

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. ...
