{SSSC172} Happy Birthday

Good Afternoon!

It's cold and snowy here.....a perfect day to sit at the computer, getting crafty!

I made this card a few days ago for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #172.

I trying to use up the enormous stash of designer paper I seem to have hoarded.  This card uses paper from the We R Memory Keepers 72 & Sunny collection.

Super simple card, but love the look!

Thanks for stopping by today!

{SFYTT} Let It Snow!

Good Evening!

Can you believe it.....it's almost December!  Another month gone!

I have had this card finished for ages, and just haven't gotten around to getting it posted.  Since I only have today and tomorrow left, I figured I better get it done!

This is my card for the November SFYTT.   With the holiday season fast-approaching, I figured it was a good time to get started!

I pulled out some old Wintergreen DP, from Stampin' Up, and then set to work.

I used the Snowflake Die, Hearts Trio and the Jolly Holiday set, all of which are from The Cat's Pajamas.

Keeping this post short....bedtime for the little ones!

I hope all my US readers/friends are enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I also hope you are all enjoying the football too!  It's my favourite part of the day! (since we don't get the turkey!)

I've been trying to keep busy here in my craft room, so I'll hopefully be getting everything I've been working on posted in the next couple of days!

This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant was a recipe challenge - cardboard, journalling and circles.

Here is what I created:

My littlest man absolutely loves the Jolly Jumper (as did his older siblings!)  I thought this layout captured it perfectly!

The supplies are all from the Child of My Child - Boy kit, by Fayette Designs.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wow!

Can you believe we are already half way through November?  It seems these shorter days are making them go by even quicker!  The holidays will be upon on soon!

Before I start off on the holidays, and christmas cards, and shopping, and baking....I did some scrappin'!

Yes, I could make some Christmas cards, I do actually have 6 or 7 here started....

Instead, the Pink Elephant posted a new Scrapbook Challenge, a sketch!  I played along!  Who can resist a good sketch!

Everything on this page is from the Blue Skies kit, by Fayette Designs.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hopefully I'll get some cards finished to share soon!!

Well, it's now November.....I really can't believe it!  I am enjoying the lack of outside chores though, it gives me more time to be crafty!

I know I've said it before, but I am so loving that The Pink Elephant has brought back their Scrapbook Challenges!  I am getting scrapbooking done, and maybe someday I'll be close to being caught up! (is there anyone out there that is caught up?  I ENVY YOU!)

This week the Scrapbook Challenge was a colour challenge - Yellow, Cream, Green & Brown.

These colours screamed a perfect fall layout for me, and I knew of the exact pictures!

The sketch for this layout is based on one found in Becky Fleck's November Pagemaps.  I love her sketches, and usually have a file or two open when I'm in Scrapbooking mode!

The supplies for this page are from the Totally Autumn kit, by Fayette Designs.
