A little Christmas tin

Here is my entry for the BB's latest challenge. The challenge was Christmas and at least one snowflake. I am using these tins for money that my mom sends to the grandkids...rather than just hand them the cash. Hope they like these...they will make cute ornaments for the tree too!

This last one isn't for the challenge but I thought I would show you anyway.  Thanks for looking!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!!

This is just a reminder to all the ladies out there.  Please, please get those Mammograms and do your self exam each month.  Early detection is so important!!

A very special lady, Jacque, is celebrating the end of her "PINK" journey and is so generously offering this fantastic "PINK" stuff to one lucky winner.  Just leave a message on her blog post "Pink Sweet Stuff" for your chance to win.

Another Halloween Card!!

When Diana showed me the sketch from Wild Flower Patch I just knew I had to make a card from it.  I love it and it all went together so smoothly.  Usually it takes me hours to find just the right papers and embellishments and then it seems like hours more to put the whole thing together.  This time I had it done in a little over an hour.

Other challenges this card qualifies for are:

A Spoonfull of Sugar..."anything goes"

Charisma Cardsz..."anything goes"

Creative Bellli Blog..."anything that begins with the letter B"  I used brads and a bow

Creative Card Crew..."Autumn or Fall"

Incy Wincy Designs..."anything goes"

Totally Paper Crafts..."A kind of Magic"

Happy Halloween!!

I really don't go all out for Halloween like I did when my daughter was little. I decorate more for Fall now. Today would be a good day to get all the decorations out...it is only 59 degrees right now and really feels like fall!

We mailed these all off to each other and then got set to make a Thanksgiving themed card. I finished mine up yesterday...it has been a blast and I can't wait to do another challenge with these awesome ladies!!
