I found the sketch over at create4fun

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!!

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

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!

A great group of ladies got together (via yahoo chat and phone) and decided to challenge each other. One of us (me) picked out a sketch, one picked designer paper, one picked a stamped image and two of us picked embellishments. 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!!
