Week 4 - Colouring

.....Note to self....invest in more stamps that need to colored in! This weeks challenge at Christmas Card Challenge was to color on your card, and truthfully I had a difficult time with this challenge just because I didn't have a lot of stamps that need coloring sooo I used an oldie from Stampin up! (thankfully it hadn't sold on Kijiji yet!). This is a very simple design, I tried to embelish it but felt like I was trying to hard to make it "fancy" so simple it is.....On that note,  I am off on Vacation next week and won't be able to make any cards where I am going so hopefully I will be able to make it up when I get back!

Week 3 - flourish

Here is this weeks project. the goal to add a flourish to the card....Not something I would normally do, but again that is the purpose of doing this blog....to get me out of my comfort zone, and do something different. Again this week it isn't exactly like I imagined at the projects inception, however I am pleased with the result.

Week 2 - Lace

Here is my week 2 project, the challenge this week....Lace. Simple enough, you say? Well let me tell you after coming up with an amazingly artistic idea and spending about 2 hrs working on it, I realized that it just wasn't going to happen (at least not today). So I had to come up with something else, this is my something else. I am pleased with my final product, but not thrilled. Mostly because I really had my heart set on the initial idea....(which I am still working on and perfecting so don't be surprised if you see it posted here at some point or anonther). I am sure you have all been there once or twice and understand what I mean. Anyway hope you enjoy!

"Small Wonder"

This card is for my cousin's new baby girl. I used some discontinued MyMindsEye DSP  and stampin up So Saffron, and Blushing Bride. Cricut Sampler for the carriage.

My first Scrapbook page in a while.

With the inspiration of my son's first Christmas, and first picture with Santa, I decided that on an annual basis Every year like a Christmas decoration, I will pull out a scrapbook of Myles' pictures with Santa, and every year I will add a picture to it. here is the entry for 2011
