Holiday Hugs

Happy Tuesday! Hopefully you have had a great weekend and for us US folks, getting ready for Thanksgiving! I will be traveling North to spend time with family and friends. Just hope it's not too cold, lol. It was close to 80 degrees here this past weekend. Love it!

My card today is for the SCS Color Combination Challenge~ Blushing Pear Mist. Joanne is our hostess today and her dessert option is to make a Christmas Card. I love these colors for a non-traditional holiday card! I saw a poll on Facebook last week about traditional versus non-traditional colors for cards. I think the poll results were pretty much split 50-50. I am one that loves non-traditional colors. I turned over that leaf when I moved to Florida. I have a white tree and the color scheme is Pink, Turquoise and Lime Green! So Joanne's colors today are not not far off of mine.

I received some new MFT goodies last week and just had to stamp this adorable snowman. He is colored with Copics and and being a guy, is not afraid to wear pink...hee. The card layout is this weeks MFT Wednesday Stamp Club sketch. I glittered up the snowflake and heart. The green panel is spritzed with Perfect Pearl Mist.

Sending Cocoa Cuddles

Ahhhhh.....over the hump day!! How is your week going?
I did a little reorganizing in my craft room. Do we ever stop organizing and re-organizing? lol!

My card is for this week's SCS Color Combo Challenge~ Lucky Coral Breezes. Betty picked a lovely combination of colors! I even found a spot for the Calypso Coral!

I love the new WTG from MFT and used a Copic technique on her sweater using a terry washcloth and various ink to give it a fuzzy texture. The background embossed panel is spritzed with Perfect Pearls to give it a winter sparkle. The marshmallows in the cocoa are made with liquid applique. The layout is this past week's MFT Wed Sketch. Had a lot of fun with this card!

Number One

Hi All! Happy Monday!
Another weekend flew by, but I was able to get some cooking in, made a few cards and did a little Christmas shopping. I decided I wanted to relax for the month of December.....we will see how that goes, lol!

My card today is for this week's SCS Featured Stamper Challenge~It's Not an Obsession, and also for the Virtual Stamp Night Challenge~Head In The Clouds.
Anne Harada (aka Its A Passion) is the featured stamper and I just love all the cards in her gallery! I decided on her Doodlebird Thanks Card to CASE. The flower was my jumping off point for my pinwheel card. Since Anne is numero uno this week, I used the appropriate sentiment for her. 
The VSN challenge hosted by Theresa, is to make a card featuring clouds. I let the background paper meet that challenge!

Butterflies of Hope

Good Monday Morning!! Have a good weekend?
Mine are never long enough, teehee! Our team bowled a make-up session on Saturday. Bill only beat me by thirteen pins! How is that for going up against a Pro? Guess I ought to tell you that it was his first time bowling since he had his gallbladder out a few weeks ago. He did great though. I was proud of him. Our team is tied for fourth place now out of 32 teams. Hoping to make it to the roll offs at the end of the season. Good money if we do! I spent a lot of time in my craft room too. Was able to get three cards finished yesterday. Woot Woot!

Ok...on to my card for today....
It is for the SCS Hope You Can Cling To challenge by Wendy~ Butterflies of Hope. The challenge is to use a butterfly of ANY kind ... I have some beautiful SEI paper that I am trying use up. It has butterflies on just about every page! I colored LaLa Land Crafts Fancy Marci and used this weeks CR84FUN42 challenge colors of pale pink, black and a neutral (white in my case) for my card.

 Her dress sparkles a little with glitter on her sash and at the bottom edge. The butterflies have a spritz of Vanilla Shimmer Smooch.

Stamps: LaLa Land Fancy Marci
