Merry Monday Challenge #145

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Today we have a new challenge for you over at Merry Monday! I am the hostess this week so let's get right to it!

I used my Scentsational Season stamp set with matching Holiday Collection Framelits for this week's challenge. I really have used this set hard over the last few years. I stamped my candy canes in Cherry Cobbler ink and cut them out and criss crossed them on my Very Vanilla panel so I could add some Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine. My sentiment comes from the retired Chock Full of Cheer stamp set. My patterned paper is from the Be of Good Cheer DSP pack. I added 3 Cherry Cobbler Rhinestones and adhered it all to my Cherry Cobbler card base and called it done. I love it and hope you do too!

Please stop by the Merry Monday blog to see what the other Merry Maker's have created this week! They did an amazing job with giving you lots of inspiration to help you create a Christmas card with a Candy Cane! Hope you will play along with us this week!

Sketch Challenge 462

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Today i'm sharing a card made for this week's Sketch Challenge over at SCS.

It's not like I really need anymore Christmas cards but they are my favorite to make!

Here we go...

I wanted to make a Gingerbread Thank You card for my Mom who did a bit of sewing work to my new Gingerbread curtains that I recently purchased. Everyone knows how much I love my Gingerbreads...heck my kitchen is filled with Gingerbread all year round and I was thrilled to find curtains with them on!

After Ryan's doctor appointment yesterday, which by the way went very well, we went to my parents for supper. Mom surprised me with my curtains being finished and ready for me to take home. I'm getting excited now thinking about getting decorated for Christmas! Christmas is at my house this year with my kids, grandpuppies, parents, 2 brothers & their wives. I know it's going to be stressful & alot of work but i'm looking forward to it! Anyways, i'm sure Mom is going to love my card!! She displays my cards all over her house and she made mention last night that she has a shelf in her kitchen that she is going to decorate with Gingerbreads! I'm sure this card will be on that shelf!! :)
