Day 23...

I'm so proud of me! I still am impressed that I am hanging in there! Today's post is another card that uses Echo Park's Everybody Loves Christmas line and Papertrey Ink Stamps.

Those jewel berries are truly a red and the reds in the card,  for some reason the light reflections in the photo are giving them an orange cast...hmmmm.

Of to get stuff done, my parents came into town last night and I'm hoping that my mom and I can sneak away this evening to see Black Swan. Means I need to go wrap, bake the last of the treats, and do some laundry.

Day 22...

and one of my favorite things that I have made this season. Another wreath made out of book print. I made another one that I posted earlier you can see it HERE. This one has a much different look just by changing the centers.

The center of this one was made using all Papertrey Ink stamps.

Are you ready for Christmas?????? I still have quite a bit of wrapping, but other than that I am getting there. Tomorrow I'll return with day 23!

Day 21...

Which means that there is only 4 more days until Christmas. EEK! I still have to wrap presents! Better get this post up so that I can be productive around here. Used Crate Paper's Snow Day collection for this.
Made with some left over strips from another card that I made and will share with you soon.

Off to get a lot of stuff done (hopefully), see you for day 22.

Day 20...

and I'm still rolling with it!!! Go me! ;)

Today is a fun little card with fun colors!  Embossing, stamping, and glitter....some of my favorite things. Not to mention snowflakes...if you look back at all of my posts you'll see that I have a slight obsession with them!

Remember you can always click on an image to view in a larger window.

Day 21 tomorrow...see you back at the old blog.

Day 19...

First,  you still have time to win some Clear Scraps awesome acrylics...see the previous post below!

Wow, only six more days to go and I am impressed that I am still hanging in there! Today I have a more simple, but elegant card to share with you. White and green are the only colors that I used and I have to say I love how it turned out. The inside of the card is stamped with the sentiment "and happiness...not only at Christmas, but every day of the New Year."

See you all tomorrow!

Day 18 and a Clear Scraps blog hop...

Okay all, bear with me on this post. You see this evening my dh and I went to the Portland Trailblazer game and when got home the power was out throughout our entire neighborhood. Bad news for someone who's photos are on her camera and who now has no computer or Internet access AND has to have a blog post up by 2am so as to not ruin the flow of the above mentioned blog hop.

So, here I am posting from my phone, which I have never done before. I don't have all of the details for the hop memorized, and I have a crappy photo taken with my phone using the light of two camping lanterns. Please bear with me.

Here are the details that I do remember (I think)...you must leave a comment on all of the Clear Scraps design team members personal blogs to be entered to win you choice of $20-$25 of Clear Scraps merchandise. You'll have to refer back to Clear Scraps blog to find out who's blog is listed next, as all ifthat info. as I type this can only be found in the email that is on my computer...which doesn't help me or you one iota in my current condition.

Well we are going to have to forget the cruddy photo as the photo upload page isn't loading. Hopefully power will come back on and I can re-post this

****OK! Woot I have power back! Thanks for those of you that stuck with the hop through my minor disaster. After 12.5 hours we finally have power (and heat!!!) so, here is my tag who's photo was stuck on my camera...

Using StazOn opaque white ink I stamped the woodgrain. Then using some wide 2" Scor-tape (after adhering it to some paper) I punched out the snowflakes with a Martha Stewart punch, peeled off the protective coating that comes on the Scor-Tape and covered the flakes with glitter. Next, I applied the stripey scallop edge sticker and the polka dot paper (both from Bo Bunny), stamped my sentiment with black Staz On, and lastly applied another thin strip of Scor-Tape and some gold glitter. Finished it off by adhering the snowflakes, jewels and dyed seam binding.

After leaving a comment here you now need to go to Cathy's blog. Click on her name to go directly to it!

Thank you all for being so patient and check back tomorrow to follow my last week of the 25 days of Christmas!

Day 17...

This was such a quick little tag to make. Started with a Clear Scraps Angel tag, the largest of the two sizes in the package. Then I embossed it with an embossing folder in my Cuttlebug. Colored that back of the ornaments with some Copic Markers, stamped the sentiment on the front with StazOn ink, added the little jewels and dyed seam binding and done! Super easy!

This next picture isn't the best photo, but I though it showed off the embossing.

Come back tomorrow for the chance to win some Clear Scraps. We are having a holiday blog hop!
