Festive Friday!

Happy Festive Friday again! Wow we certainly do have a lot of Christmas cards done! Thanks again to Terri for this great idea.
Well if you came here from Maria's blog you are in the right place but if you just happened upon this hop please    go to Terri's blog and start at the beginning and see all the wonderful projects.

My card is done all with CTMH paper.. The patterned paper is a few years old but I am trying to use up some older paper. The angel was stamped with walnut stain distress ink then I added sparkly embossing powder to it.The angel just shimmers. I cut the joy with my cricut using a child's year alpha. I added stickles. The ribbon is also CTMH olive. The design is from an old mojo monday sketch. Thanks for coming to visit and hope you saw lots of cards you want to do for Christmas!
Mine is the last blog on the hop but you might want to hop back to the first which is Terri's blog!

Festive Friday!

It's Festive Friday again.. If you came here from Maria's Blog you are in the right place but if you have just happened upon my blog and would like to start at the first go to Terri's blog.
 I made a tent topper card. I am sorry for the picture but I think it's the lens of my camera cause I took about 20 pics of it and all are the same.
I just used scrap paper and CTMH gingham ribbon and a sizzix embossing die... I also used stickles which I love. The stamp is also CTMH.
Thanks for joining us on the hop and I am last this week but you can go back and visit Terri again if you like.

Link To Pink Her Craftiness!

Here is my project for Lynne's Link To Pink.... October is Breast Cancer Month.... I was going to post my Boob Card but I wanted to try something new....
I made an envelope card.  I used 3 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 envelopes and attached  them together with the flaps... 
I matted a very pale pink with deeper pink and then black.
I used different flower stamps (unity and tim holtz). All the stamps I used I got from Up The Street ( my LSS) in Strathroy Ontario.
The words were a saying I found on internet. 



The deep pink words were done on cricut. The rest I wrote myself. I need to work on my penmenship but it is getting somewhat better...
I used tim holtz victorian velvet and peeled paint distress ink...
I would like to finish it with tags for inside envelopes and pull out tabs.


I hope to do another project for this at the end of the month as the October Kit of the Month from Unity stamps have some great stamps for just this kind of project in mind...
Remember Gals.... as Sherry's card said yesterday.... Got Boobs? Get them checked!!!
Have a great Sunday!

Festive Friday Blog Hop # 16








Welcome all to this blog hop! This will be a short post today as I am borrowing internet as mine is down after the big storm we had last night.. enjoy the hop , all the gals have great projects so have fun!! If you came her from Cheryl's blog you are in the right place but if you just happened upon the hop please start at Terri's blog so you can enjoy the whole thing!

The card itself is 6x6.. I used a new stamp from Stampendous. It has the snowman and the snowflake border. I just love it, I got it from Up The Street in Strathroy Ontario.

The paper is from Tara's Sept kit, Bookworm. Green paper is Tim Holtz Distress and the striped paper is from Basic Grey called Letterman's Jacket. I tried something different for colouring the snowman.. I used watercolour paints I got a the dollar store. I used Pearl Acrylic Paint Dabber for the snowmen and then for their hats and the snow I used Sparkly Fluff from the Craft Lounge... it iis sooo cool...actually feels like fuzz. Hope you enjoy... Now on to Amanda's blog.

A basket full of wishes... Unity stamp


If you are looking for Festive Friday Blog Hop it's the next post down.
I made this card for Lynne at Your Craftiness as I was her guest designer this week but thought it
wasn't Dog Days of Summer enoughish.. (is that The stamps are both Unity stamps... I just love their stamps! Tara introduced me to them and they are all soooo pretty....
I really love this stamp and I love the paper too but I can't remember the name of it (Sorry Tara)
but I got it all at Up The Street in Strathroy Ontario!
The flowers are some I had in my stash and the flourish is felt.
sorry for the slight fuzziness.. I have taken about 20 pics and they all come out like this....
