Two cards - many challenges....

Oh my, you know what tomorrow is? Christmas Eve and I am so excited for our trip to San Francisco and donating a bag of toys this year at Lefty O'Douls. I am hoping they have snow again this year, always a fun treat downtown.
I have 2 cards to share and they are for a few challenges and 1 of them are new to me and could not resist playing along and getting a few more Christmas cards made too. My first card is for Curtain Call - Candy Cane and Colour Me #51 - Merry.

My second card is for Time Out and Craft Stamper. I am using some NBUS, this fabulous Christmas tree stamp is just amazing and thanks to Joyce for twisting my arm to order it and I love it embossed in white, so pretty. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy your week and Merry Christmas!

One card...many challenges

Happy Saturday...I have one card and a few little DIY note pads to share. My card is for several challenges, ColourQ #250, Curtain Call - Anything Goes and Addicted to Stamps #104. My day has been nice an quiet, I have been hanging out in my craft room most of the day and enjoying every minute of it. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your weekend.

These little note pads are so much fun and very quick to make. The sweet little city scene is a case from Marybeth's note pad. I loved the look of this and did not really change anything about her design. You can see Marybeth's here at Marybeth's Time for Paper.

2 Cards and 5 little note pads

Happy Saturday...today was the first day in what felt like forever that I had time and felt like be crafty. The past two week's have been simply crazy and it really feels good to play with my supplies! I have 2 cards to share today, one for Curtain Call - Something Simple...have not played along with this one is some time and my second card is for the current challenge at Simply Create Too - #63 Celebrate your Country. I also used some NBUS supplies and will be playing along with Darnell...she is celebrating reaching 500 follows, click here to check out all the fun and there some fabulous prizes too!

maybe it is just me but after I finished my card I noticed that the placement of my Circle Scribble look like a modern version of Mickey Mouse

My next projects are for this week's MIM over at Papertrey Ink #167 DIY Notebooks. They are so much fun and pretty quick to put together. I made 5 of the little cuties. You can see lots of inspiration here on Nichole's blog. Thank you so much for stopping by...enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Dynamic Duo's #70 and Curtain Call - Sunflower Surprise and just for fun...

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend...mine was pretty quiet, made cards with my mom on Saturday and lunch with friends on Sunday and lots and lots of crafting time.  My card for today is for 2 challenges, Dynamic Duo's #70 and Curtain Call - Sunflowers...I am so happy that I had a sunflower set! I used last week's Muse card design to make my card, I fell in love with it but did not have the time to make a card to play with so I am using it now. My second card is just for fun. I love Halloween and one of Ashleigh's friends loves it as much as I do so I have to make a special card just for her.  The stamp I used is the only stamp from Wanda's Pantry that I have never inked up so it was fun.  I even had Ashleigh ink her fingers with VersaMark ink and put some red embossed powder to give the look of bloody finger prints (thanks Renee for the idea).  Hope she likes it. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my card....have a fabulous week.

Curtain Call - Carnival Craze and Lil Inker's Birthday Party

Wow...this week has just zipped by! Went back to work today, lots of cleaning, tossing out, organizing and meetings. I really could have spent all day there, but why do in one day what I can spread out over the next several?  It is a nice feeling to have everything clean and fresh for the new school year.  I have two cards to share and the first one is for Curtain Call's current challenge - Carnival Craze.  Once again I came up empty with stamps so I put Miss Lucy to work, she never gets a break! But she always comes through for me and today was no exception, I found this fun Ferris Wheel to fit the theme. It was so much fun to make and thought a bit of bling would dress it up a bit too.  

My next card is for Lil Inker's Birthday Party, they just turned 3!!! So exciting, there is still plenty of time to play along and they have some fabulous prizes too. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card...have a great rest of your week.

2 cards for Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! I have a fun day planned today...Darnell from djkardkreations and Harriet from Ally Cat Cards are coming by for a visit and then out to lunch and my favorite little crepe place in town.  It is so much fun to be able to meet up with blog friends! 

My first card is my second card for this week's CASology, the cue card is "cool" and there are so many possibilities with this one.  Tracey from In My Creative Opinion sent some subway stamped images from Fresh Squeezed stamps and I thought the summer one would be perfect for my cool card.  

My second card is for this week's Curtain Call...they are back and holding challenges again. I have to be honest with you, I did not know that they were not new. They are having a fabulous challenge this week, the theme is Nautical, I do not own anything even remotely nautical but Lucy was able to bail me out once again. Be sure to head over to Curtain Call to play along, you still have time.  

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my cards....have a wonderful week!
