Too Much to do so little time!

Hey there to all my followers out there, I want to apologize for the lack of "commitment" to my Christmas card challenge. I know it has been a few weeks since my last post. Here is what I have been up to......So for starters, I am back to work after being on Mat leave....and it has been a difficult adjustment, meaning I have very limited time, and the time I do have I have been spending working on various project for my son's first birthday party (this was this past weekend). Here are a few pictures. The first is a picture of the center piece I made for the cake table ( I took the concept from a stampin success magazine!) This was the inspiration for the entire party theme. The second is a card I designed for a friend to give to a friend. and the Third is the card I made for my little boy for his first birthday! Anyway Just wanted to let you know that although I haven't made a christmas card in a few weeks, I have been creating something! Hope you enjoy! And have a great week.

Week 17 - Punches

This weeks challenge over at Christmas card challenge was Punches. Now being back to work, I have to admit  I am feeling a little less inspired and have even less time, but that is part of the challenge. So here is what I came up with for this challenge.I used the ornament punch from Stampin' up and added the border punch to the bottom. Hope you enjoy! :)

Week 16 - Recipe

Procrastination is the name of the Game this week! I unfortunately put this one off thinking, oh I have lots of time, loads of time, oooodles of time, then it was Saturday night and I had 2 hours! Here is this weeks Christmas card challenge this one was "Recipe" 3 Designer papers, 2 Stamps, Ribbon and a button. So to help this one along, because clearly I was running out of time, I took a little more inspiration from the Mojo Monday Challenge too! And although I didn't quite make the deadline for the contest I was entering, here is what I came up with for this past Challenge.

Week 15 - Twine

As I mentioned in my last post, this week I had a bit of catching up to do, so I had to do 2 cards this week! I know excuses excuses, but I have been so busy that there has just not been any time to make cards. With work looming overhead, and just the thought of having to go back, I have been stressed to the max. This is why I took the time to make 2 card last night, and here is the second. Over at the Christmas Card Challenge, the challenge was to incorporate Twine, and here is what I came up with. I have to admit, I am please with the results. I used some very old stock stampin up dsp, and chocolate chip cardstock, and one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets with co-ordinating punch. Let me know what you think!

Week 14 - Flocking

Ok, so I admit, I had some catching up to do, so yesterday I made 2 cards...here is the one for the challenge from last week which was Flocking, at the Christmas Card Challenge. I have to admit I love, love, love this card. I used pastels to colour and the flocking is the "fuzzy" parts of the Elf's clothes. I hope you enjoy! Oh and did I mention I took this picture with my new camera! I apologize for the backdrop, I need to come up with
a better idea to make it look seamless but it will have to do for now! See you soon!

Week 13 - Colour Combo :Purple, Pink, Green & White

Another busy week, and I just wasn't feeling the challenge this week, I mean really a Purple pink, White and Green Christmas Card?  So since I needed to make a Card for a friends son's First Birthday., I thought this would suffice. I am quite pleased with the results, and love this card so much. So here is what I came up with! I hope you enjoy...and sorry for my slight diversion from the Challenge.

Week 12 - Shapes

This weeks challenge over at Christmas Card Challenge was Shaped cards: Winter/Christmas Shapes, this was an interesting project. I did have a bit of a hard time with this one....more because I had a hard time choosing a shape. Anyway another busy week, and a later then normal entry :(  I Hope you like it.
