25 Days of Christmas Challenge - Day 5

Hello!

It's day 5 of my 25 days of Christmas challenge.  Today I wanted to share this super cute cocoa packet holder that was designed by one of my crafting friends, Belia.  (Hi Belia!)  We got together with Kathy, Linda and my new friend Donna last month to make some Christmas cards to swap with one another.  This is the first of the four.  I plan to spread them out over the next few days.

Isn't it the cutest?!  I love the cute papers and the colors make me smile.  Colored the altered image of 2 TGF images, Beanie Ian & Secret Santa Kit (exclusive).  Below you'll find a message and the hot cocoa packet inside.  This is a fun idea to share some warm wishes this holiday season.

This is one of my favorites this year,  I'm thinking of making more of these.  Hopefully I can find paper that cute!

Well my friends, hoping you all have a wonderful Saturday!  Thanks for stopping by!!

xoxo,

Happy Birthday - Sitting Lovely Anya

Hello!!

How's it going?  Yep I'm back today to share another stamp camp card.  This sweet birthday card was designed by Belia.  Another card to add to my birthday stash.  (yay)

Card designed by Belia Sardinha

Featuring Anya from the Sitting Lovely stamp set this card design was a lot of fun to put together.  I colored her with dark hair instead of the lighter color that Belia used, only because I have a lot of friends with dark hair so I try to stay in that color scheme.  This little girl reminds me of Wonder Woman because of her blue/black locks.  hahaha!  I love the white space with the touches of pink and blues.  Super girly indeed!!

Thanks again for stopping by!  I'm excited to be back again for another share soon.  Take care!!

Hello!

Hello!

I've been so busy at work that it messed with my mojo; which means I've neglected not only my blog but you. =/  I'll slowly make my way around and try to catch up.  Happy to say I found a little bit of it this weekend and will space out some projects I worked on with some helpful inspiration from some crafty friends.  Looking forward to sharing those projects here.  (Yay!)

For today I wanted to share a CAS card I made for a crafty get-together last Sunday.  My mojo was sorely missing so I re-created a card I sent to my swap buddy from May (SSS) thinking it was the perfect 5-minute card.  Plus it's a great way to get back in to the swing of things...

I used the following dies: MFT Dienamics Blueprints 20 & Lawn Fawn Scripty hello and the rest is from my stash.  I really wish I had taken a picture of everyone's card so you can see the different creativity that was flowing that day.  So much fun!!  I'll be sharing the rest of our projects, a total of 6 in all!!  And that translates to 5 more days of just posting.  Yay!!  hahaha!  I had a blast re-creating the projects everyone made which definitely jump-started my mojo, but most of all I got to share some fun and laughs with these wonderful ladies.  That's what Sunday was all about. =)

Before I sign off here's a fun picture of all of us at Kathy's house.  Thanks so much for hosting all of us crazies Kathy!! 

L-R: Belia, Angie, me, Kathy, Donna, Linda, Jenny

Well this is as good a time as any to sign off.  I hope you're all doing well.  The few blogs I stopped by yesterday were truly inspirational, can't wait to visit more!!  Take care!!

Dollie with Cupcake

Hi!

Hope you're all doing well.  About a month ago I went over to Kathy's house to spend some crafty time with her, Linda and their friend Belia.  We each made a card and then made kits for the others.  I shared the card I designed here, and today I wanted to share the waterfall card designed by Belia. Here is her card featuring the adorable TGF Birthday Anya II along with a picture of the inside of the card.



Adorable yeah? It was a little tricky to do the mechanism part, we're not engineers, but we are determined and with helping hands we were each able to get it working. This is one cool card! We each received different colored base pieces, I got pink with green. I ended up finishing it at home and here is my end result.

I used another TGF image, Hello Dollie with Cupcake, because the card was huge she fit perfectly.  Now what's funny is the outside of the card does NOT match the inside of the card.  As far as colors and theme.  lol..  Not sure what I was thinking but since everything is already glued down I can either pull it apart and use another card base or leave it, will have to think about that.  For now, it's as is. hahaha!  Here are a couple pages of the inside...

See, so not matching the front, except for the lone cupcake.  hahaha!  The full version of the card can be viewed in the short video below.  I wanted to share the actual waterfall effect.  It's sooo cool!  My assistant was my mother.  Gotta give her some credit she was very patient with me.  (lol)

After making this one I wanted to re-create it again so in a future post I'll share the second one I made for my friend.

As always, thanks so much for stopping in to see what I've been up to.  Hope you all have a nice weekend!!
