The card - another really easy one.  I just added this awesome new die cut I got (it's called Winter Corner) to an embossed background.  Added a sentiment and some bling.  Easy Peasy!

And I'm off for a fun day with Judy S.  It's been awhile since we've had an adventure!  We'll try our best to stay out of trouble, but I'm not promising anything!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - snowflake embossing folder from SU, a sentiment and a little bling - can't get much easier than that!

Time to take down the Christmas decorations - that's my main goal for the day!

Have a terrific day!

The card - love this fairly new die cut from SU.  (the snowflakes at the bottom.)  Isn't it pretty?

Hope you all had a terrific holiday!  We had a super nice day and Hudson was very entertaining!  He came home with me and spent the night, so I have 'Grandma time' today. 

Have a wonderful day!

The card - this card is SO much prettier in real life.  The doily snowflake is silver as is the ribbon.  I used smoky slate for the background mar and the stamping.  The picture just doesn't do it justice!

A day of last minute chores - finishing up a couple of stitching projects for gifts, making a couple more batches of peanut brittle, wrapping a few gifts etc.  We were supposed to get some huge snow storm overnight, but it's a bit wet outside at my house but there's no snow.  Hmmmmm.

Have a great day!

The card - candles are from SU (love this set!)  The ovals are popped up on the embossed background piece.

One more Christmas party tonight -  that means cleaning and cooking today  - but the food is potluck, so I only have to make one thing! Yay!

Have a great day!

The card - stamped image is from W Plus 9.  The wreath is done with three stamps, one on top of the other.  I love this set!

Off to do some errands and last minute stuff today.  Not sure why I leave things til the last minute these days - can't seem to get my act together and be more organized :)

Have a terrific day!

The card - I stamped the trees on the inside of the embossing folder before embossing.  Pretty cool.

'Grandma time' today - babysitter is still sick.  I didn't actually end up with him yesterday because Sara didn't get called to work.  I took advantage of the free day and made 4 batches of peanut brittle and worked on some stitched Christmas gifts.  Yay!

Have a great day!

Photo Saturday - Hudson wasn't too sure about the whole Santa thing....but he didn't cry!   And he talked all afternoon about seeing Santa and getting a sucker!  

Need to get some peanut brittle made this morning and then going to a 2 year old's birthday party this afternoon.

Have a great day!

The card - love this line of printed paper that I got at a local store (Seasons to Follow). The panel with the tree is popped up.   A super easy card!  

Off to Montrose for my knitting class this morning.  I'm hoping I'll have enough ambition to get the garage straighened up this afternoon when I get home!

Have a wonderful day!

The card - sorry about the bad shadows - scanner didn't like the embossed background I guess!  Anyway, time to start a bit of Christmas - the snowflake is embossed on the background panel and the small snowflake is stamped and then punched out and added to the top of the embossed snowflake.  Pretty darn easy!

Starting off the season of Christmas parties tonight.  So, I'm off to a day of cleaning and cooking.

Have a great day!

Have a terrific day!
