Project Christmas 2011 ~ card 12

Usually my blog post is at least 24 hours apart, but today is exceptional, I am running late and I have lots of posts waiting in line.........

Here's my card # 12 for Jingle Belles based on this sketch by Allison Fillo

here's my take......

everything I used to make this card is from my Pixie Kits

background paper - Pixie February Kit

and the rest of the trims (scallop paper and tinsel) at the bottom and the side, LOL..... they are actually scraps that I keep along the way while I make those projects for the Pixie Kits, you see here "left-overs" stuff from October Kit and November Kit

see that pixie? she is from Pixie February Kit "Springtime Pixie" too!

I never throw any paper away even it is only 1 inch square, 'cos you'll never know when you need that tiny bit to make a rolled-flower.

ok, I am going to stop right here, internet connection is dead slow tonight, it took me 40 minutes to upload these pictures, usually is like 3 seconds. I am going to bed now!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #48 ~ The King and I (city - Monte Carlo)

Hey crafters, another NEW week at City Crafter Challenge Blog, this week I am taking you to the most glamorous city (in my opinion) - Monte Carlo. Oh well, technically, Monte Carlo is an independent sovereign state located between the foot of the Southern Alps and the Mediterranean.

Hey crafters, hop over to Jingle Belles NOW!!!

They have the most beautiful color palette this week

suggested by Leslie - The Crooked Stamper, aren't those colors soft and pretty?

Here's my card.....

Simply huh?

I am thinking a lot about putting them in the envelope end of this year when it is time to send these holiday cards, so I am keeping it as "flat" as possible...

Thanks for visiting my blog today! : )

Happy Spring ~ back to craft room!

It was in the high 60s and sunny  at Vegas yesterday, I went out and felt a lot better under the sun, maybe I need to go out more?

The sun does make me feel better, I finally got into my craft room yesterday, made 2 cards and a layout, ahhh..... that was long ago since I last scrapped!

This card is based on Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge #37

Thanks for stopping by today! : )
