Merry Monday #79 {Snowflakes, Blue, White and Silver/Gray}

Happy Sunday everyone!  This is gonna be a quickie post because the deadline for this week's Merry Monday is looming!  Here is my last-minute entry:

 

For some reason, I just could not come up with anything until now!  Of course, I have been concentrating on making more pink cards at the moment, but I did want to get this one done.  I just went with a simple layout.  The dp is from the dollar spot bins at Target...wish I had gotten more than one pack!  It's hard to see in the pic, but there is some glitter on it in places.  The ribbon is from my stash, the snowflake is a MS punch, punched out of sliver glitter paper.  The sentiment is a wood stamp from Studio G, embossed with Recollections silver tinsel embossing powder.

 

That's about it for this one, so I'll get it linked up over at Merry Monday, and of course add it to Hazel's challenge too!

 

Take Care,

Final post for today, PINK #4 for Jingle Belles!

And I'm back with my final card today for the Jingle Belles PINK for the CURE challenge:

 

                                     

 

This is actually the very first card I made with this challenge in mind, but I just wanted to save it for last today!  :)  It uses another of my new Darice embossing folders, "Doily Lace."  Same process as the other poinsettia card, just different shades of pink and green cardstock, and a light tan base.  Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE my Spellbinders poinsettia die set?  ;)  I see a blue poinsettia in my near future!  LOL

 

Well, I'm gonna get this one linked up with the Belles and with Hazel, and say good night...to blogger at least!

 

Take Care,

PINK card #3 for Jingle Belles!

Back again to share card #3 for Jingle Belles:

This card is inspired by a wedding card on my Pinterest card board...somewhere!  I substituted the hearts for pink snowflakes, and voila!  A Christmas card!  The sentiment comes from the Recollections set by the same name.  A piece of pink organza ribbon tops it off.

Thanks for looking and,

Take Care,

PS.  Here I come again, Hazel!

PINK for the cure, #2!

Finally, after having some trouble getting blogger to even load (storms), I am back with my second  card for Jingle Belles' PINK for the CURE!

I did one similar to this recently that I haven't shared here yet, but this one uses the 2013 Holiday Trees that I just acquired.  :)  Looking at the pic, I think perhaps my snowhill in the back is a *bit* too high...musta been a blizzard!  LOL  This card is pretty simple, with torn layers for snowy hills, and some glitter on top, of course.  More cell phone bling for the "ornaments", and a simple silver star on the tree top.  The sentiment is from the TCP set called "Snowflake."

Well, I'm gonna get this one linked up to Jingle Belles, and also Hazel's challenge.  I'll be back soon with another PINK card!

Take care,

~Marie~

We're dreaming PINK again at Jingle Belles! :)

Happy Thursday!  At Jingle Belles this week, Stef and Lauren are asking for PINK cards, for breast cancer awareness month.  As they did last year, they are each donating $2 per card entered to the Susan G. Komen foundation.  Last year's card total was 64...I think we can beat that!  Here is one card from me:

I've been DYING to make a pink poinsettia this year, so this was a perfect opportunity to get it outta my system!  This is actually the second poinsettia card I made; the other one will be posted shortly.  I also got to use a new embossing folder called "Scrolls" by Darice.  I was SO PSYCHED, as I got a BUNCH of folders this past weekend at A.C. Moore for $1.99 apiece!  SWEET!!!  I sponged the edges of the petals and the card with Spun Sugar DI, and the leaves with Mowed Lawn.  The center is adorned with gold seed beads.  The setiment is from Studio G.

Please, please come join us over at Jingle Belles, and make a pink card or two...or more if you like!  It will go to a great cause, and you'll have one or more cards crossed off your Christmas card list!

Oh, and I'm also linking this up with Hazel's October Extra challenge.

Take care,

Stars and Stripes at Holly Jolly!

Hello!  I'm here to post my entry for the Holly Jolly challenge this week:  Stars and Stripes.

I've gotta bunch of stripes on this card, but only one star!  The fella holding the "lone star" is Snowman Star by Bugaboo.  The dp comes from the Jingle Bells 12x12 pack from Recollections.  You can't tell in the pic, but the green stripes are shiny.  :)  The ribbon is from my stash, and the merry is from Wonderful Words:  Holiday.  Some Stickles and bling for sparkle, and that is it!

This challenge closes soon, so I'm gonna finish here and get this linked up!  Thanks for looking and,

Take Care,

~Marie

ETA:  Adding to Hazel's Christmas extra challenge for October.

FFC18 - Element Challenge...

This week's Festive Friday is an element challenge, as in they would like to see a specific item on our creations.  Here is the the inspiration pic:

THAT is a great star!  Simple yet stunning.  The DT creations are wonderful...go check them out!  Here is my addition to their challenge:

This image is a digi from Meljen's called "Bitty Christmas Tree Bears" that I've had sitting around, waiting to be used!  I found some dp with stars on it in my stash, and added a sentiment from a set by Martha Stewart.  I kinda wish my blues matched better, but it is what it is!

I have lots to do today, so I'm gonna get crackin'!  Thanks for stopping by, and...

Take care,

~Marie~

ETA:  I'm also adding this to Hazel's October extra challenge.
