"Merry Christmas!"

Merry Christmas to all my "bloggy" friends!

I wish you love, happiness, health and joy in the new year!

Sassy Cheryl's Show Me Thursday

Cheryl was showing some of her ornaments this week in her post so I thought I would share some of mine too.

My Mom made me this ornament when I was very little. Ever since, it has been on every one of my Christmas trees. It is definitely on the top of the list.

This little package ISN'T an ornament...it's one of my PRESENTS!!!!

I got this for my Hubby this year because he just got a 1977 Airstream Tradewind camper this year and has quickly become his new hobby restoring it.

This little angel was always on our trees growing up. I think my Mom got the set from Avon. There is also a soldier and a Santa. I like them because you put a small bulb from the strand of tree lights inside so it glows from the inside.

This ornament was sent to me from my Sister when she was living in Germany. I love her, you pull the string on the bottom and her arms and legs move!!

Hop on over HERE and show Cheryl what you have going on this week! You could win a FREE digi...

Twiggy Snowman

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #95 - Snowman with a die cut
First of all, I want to apologize for this "WONKY" post. I can't get blogger to cooperate with me today. I can't center, change font size, spell check or link to anything!!! All I can do is type and hope it gets in here somewhere.
That being said...time to move on to this weeks Sassy Cheryl's challenge hosted by Judy once again!! She has a thing for Cheryl's Snowmen and she is asking us to create something with a snowman and at least one die cut. I originally had two die cuts picked out for my card and in the process of "my process" I wound up taking one off. I just never know how it will turn out. I started with a whole other card in mind and really have no clue how I got here. Lol
I chose Cheryl's "Twiggy the Snowman" this week. I just loooove him! Isn't he a cutie patootie? I jazzed him up a bit with some "Red Devil" Stickles. I colored him with my Prisma pencils....GASP!!! I know, I know, I am neglecting my Copics. I just didn't have the color green i wanted so I went to the tin cup. (if you have seen one of my "Show Me Thursday" posts you would understand, that's what I keep my Prismas in)
I sure hope you can come join us in this week's challenge. I know that it's Christmas but Cheryl has decided to extend the challenge for TWO WEEKS!!! Now you will have twice as long to play along. YIPEE! I hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! God Bless

Deck The Halls

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #94 - It's A Blizzard (Brrrrr...)

This week at Sassy Cheryl's Judy is our hostess with the mostest again. She is asking us to use "White on White" for our challenge creations. What? Of course you can color your image!! Lol

This type of card is always tough for me. I see all you fellow crafters doing such a beautiful job with them and you inspire me. So, get out all your white papers and supplies and inspire me some more!! I know all the other Sassy girls have some beauties and you can check them all out HERE. (I peeked...HeeHee) Hope to see you in the challenge this week.

I want to send out a quick apology to my bloggy friends. I have been tied up a lot with work and family lately and haven't been able to hop around to see you all like I would like to. It's a shame that we all can't have the time to do ALL the things we love. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon, I hate to think about all the stuff I'm missing. **pouting**

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #93 - Santa

Our crafting cutie, Judy is the hostess this week at Sassy Cheryl's and she has been a good girl all year and is ready for Santa to come to town. Cheryl has the cutest Santa's around. I chose Santa and His Little Tree for my card this week. Isn't he adorable?!? Look at those knobby knees!!

I would like to take a minute to say that we are so thrilled with the challenge participation the past few weeks. It has been a blast getting to peek at some blogs we haven't had the chance to visit before. I can't wait to see what you all come up with this week.

Whether you have been naughty or nice, we want to see those Santa creations!!!

Not a creature was stirring...

It's the first Monday of the month, so you know what that means...

Time for another FABULOUS Blog hop at Just Inklined!!

I get to be the hostess this month and I have chosen the theme Blue Christmas!

I picked this cute little Door Mouse to use for my card. I can picture this sleepy little fellow trying very hard to wait up on Santa. That brought to mind this sentence from the book

"Twas the Night Before Christmas"...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

Notice how the mouse is NOT stirring... (lol)

The order for the hop this week is:

Jeni (you are here)
Jak
Tammy
Toni
Karen
Cathy
Heidy
Joyce

From here you should be scurrying on over to our super talented boss Jak's blog.

I hope you enjoy the hop, I'm sure the other girls have some beautiful creations for you.

Don't forget to stop and make a comment on each stop, you never know who holds the prize.

Silver Lining

Some of you who have visited my blog know that my Hubby bought a 1976 Airstream Tradewind a few months ago. He is in the process of renovating it and is CONSUMED! We have officially named it "The Silver Lining" but I refer to it as "The Other Woman". Lol

When I saw this image from Saturated Canary, I just HAD to have it. Good timing too...

Today is our 19th Wedding Anniversary! Perfect for his card this year.

Happy Anniversary Honey!

Krista is having a Anything Goes challenge so I decided to enter this one.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #92 - Winter

This week's challenge is hosted by Sassy Pat at Cards 2 Cherish and she wants to see some Winter creations! It definitely doesn't feel like Winter here in SC. We have had very few cold days. The weather feels more like Spring. Cool in the mornings and in the 70's and 80's in the afternoon. It's kind of hard to get in the Christmas spirit when you can't wear sweaters and scarves. maybe it will get colder closer to Christmas.

I chose Cheryl's Flat Bottom Snowy for my card this week. Wishful thinking, huh?? Lol

Last week's participation was through the roof!!! We were so glad to have each and every one of you. Your entries were beautiful and I hope you join us again for this week's challenge.

Happy Crafting Ladies!!!

Cali...my crazy kitty!

Sassy Cheryl's Show Me Thursday #51

(Sorry this pic is so bad, I took it with my cell phone)

This is my CRAZY kitty, Cali! I really didn't have anything to show for Sassy Cheryl's show me Thursday this week until last night. I was coloring and watching T.V. when Cali decided she wanted in on the action. She usually only does this with my Prisma's (I think she likes the smell) but for some reason she was determined to get one of my Copics out of their box. She just wants to bat it around all over the floor. She's so CRAZY!

Stop on over and show Cheryl what you have been doing this week.

Results and a Sassy Trick

Happy Tuesday! If you had a Monday like mine, I know you are glad to get it behind you. If you had a good Monday then I'm just jealous.

If you were here last week for the "Stump The Boss" challenge and were playing along....

this is MY REAL card from last week. Did you guess correctly? Cheryl's results and all the other DT's cards will be posted in the challenge blog HERE. How do you think Cheryl did?

Now on to this weeks challenge......

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #91 - Anything Goes

This is one of Cheryl's new winter images! I just love Sassy Sally...she is always up to something! I knew when I saw this trickster that I had to have her. That Snowman does not look too pleased. Like they say..."Girls just wanna have fun".

Don't forget to stop by Cheryl's shop this week. She is having a 15% off sale until Friday.

Happy Friday blog land peeps!!!

Friday means another fabulous Totally Papercrafts Challenge!

Our generous sponsors this week are Crafty Emma's Store & Amber Ink .

Mel is our DT hostess this week and she has chosen a Black & White theme. Boy was this a hard one. I started to get busy on my card and realized I really don't have many black & white papers. It was slim pickings!!! I managed to dig a few out of my scrap box and this is what I came up with.

This little cutie is a Whimsy and Stars digi called Coffee Girl . Just look at that big ole cup of java!!! What a way to start the day, she sure looks peppy to me. Lol

I am also entering this card into the

Whimsy and Stars'
very first Gratitude Blog Hop!

You can join in too HERE.

I used this weeks sketch at Splitcoast Stampers.

A fun and easy gift bag...

This is just a cute little gift bag I made for a card club I go to every other Tuesday.

The base of this bag is so easy to whip up. They are great to have on hand for an unexpected or almost forgotten occasion. It is also a perfect size to fit a set of 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 cards.

The end measurements are 6" wide x 4 1/2" high and 3" deep.

All you need is a 12 x 12 piece of card stock.

Score from one side at 3" and 9" (all the way across).

Turn paper and score from other side at 4 1/2 & 7 1/2 (all the way across).

Snip the scored lines in the middle on opposite sides and fold into itself.

Then just decorate...

Easy Peasy!!!

This little Apple Tree is a digi from Just Inklined. I love it because it is so versatile, you can really use it for any season. Just color it up a little differently.

Check out one of my old Sassy Sistahs, Jodi's blog for directions.

Time to STUMP Sassy Cheryl....

This week at Sassy Cheryl's we are doing something a little different.

We are trying to STUMP our boss Sassy Cheryl!!

Each of us has made a card NOT in our usual style and Cheryl has to try and guess which one is our REAL card. Do you think she knows us well enough to pick the correct ones?

I would REALLY love the claim the card below as MINE, but alas...it belongs to one of my Sassy Sistahs!! Isn't it FABULOUS!?!?!

Next week we will all post our REAL cards to see how well Cheryl did.

Maybe you all would like to write down your guesses and see how well you do too.

So the challenge this week is ANYTHING GOES!! No excuses this week!!

Jump on in and join us in the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge for your chance to win a gift certificate to Cheryl's fabulous SHOP. She has some of the cutest images in there just waiting for you to color.

Happy Veteran's Day!!

Totally Papercrafts Challenge #92 - Victorian

It's Victoria's turn to host our challenge at Totally Papercrafts so it's fitting that she has chosen the theme....Victorian. I do have to say that this is a little outside my comfort zone. So, this was definitely a challenge for me. I guess it's good to reach outside your box sometimes. I sure had fun creating this card and I have to say that I am pretty pleased.

It is Veteran's Day, formerly known as Armistice Day here in The United States. I wanted to make a patriotic themed card to show love and support for all our Veterans and to give thanks to them for their sacrifice.

God Bless You All!!

I don't usually show the inside of my cards, but sometimes I think I like it more than others. (Lol) This is one of those times so I am sharing.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is:

Friend for Dinner...

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #89 - Embossing

Welcome to another Sassy Cheryl's Challenge!! Our very Sassy & Super Talented Peggy is our hostess with the mostest and she wants us to emboss on our projects. (wet or dry, your choice)

I chose to dry emboss with one of my Argyle Cuttlebug folder. I couldn't believe how well it went with the background DP. I hope I haven't offended anyone with my sentiment. Lol That was my Daughter Savannah's brain storm. So, all you animal lovers...sorry. I do love my Thanksgiving turkey!!! Yummy!! I am getting hungry just thinking about it. I am the only one in my house who really likes turkey & stuffing so I only get it when Mommy makes it, and boy is it a treat!!

EXCITING NEWS!!!

For the remainder of November's challenges (8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th)
we'll be checking out all of the entries and selecting one lucky person
who will be our guest designer for the month of December.

Get your BEST crafting ideas going and show us what you've got!!

A Realization....

Sassy Cheryl's Show Me #49

This weekend I came to the realization that I was just NOT meant to use a sewing machine!!! (hence, the label "Stupid Sewing Machine") I took Home Economics in Middle school and I remember sewing a pillow, but I think I may need a refresher course. I have 2 machines now, a Kennmore my Mom gave me and this little Singer. I can't thread the bobbin on one and can't keep the thread from breaking on the other. *sigh* I struggle with this little PURPLE MONSTER for a couple hours and came very close to throwing it in the trash. Instead, I put the little PURPLE MONSTER under my desk and hand sewed the rest of my card.

My space is a little messy right now so enjoy the giggles and head shaking while you can. I intend to clean it up AGAIN this week. Lol

Giddy-Up and Go!

It's the first Monday of the month and that means it's time for another FANTASTIC

Just Inklined Blog Hop!!!

You should have arrived here from our talented Joyce's Blog.

Heidy is our hostess and she wants us to make something that can be given as a gift FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!! I stressed the Christmas part because you will soon see that I totally over looked that part of the theme. I am afraid I will be getting a "needs improvement" on following directions. I know my kids will laugh when they read this because I always stress this point on test days. "Always read the directions thoroughly".

My gift will be given to a poor soul who is feeling poorly on Christmas. Lol

I love the Holidays and cooler weather, but that always means one thing.....

The cold and flu season is upon us and there are a lot of sickies out there. Believe me, we have had our share in my house. I made this little gift bag to put hot tea bags, cough drops, peppermints, tissues, medicine or anything really to help someone feel better when they are feeling a little under the weather. They are so handy to have around for loved ones.

The image I used is called Gee Up Neddy. You can find it in the NEW SHOP at Just Inklined . HERE

From here you are going to want to head on over to our fearless leader Jak's blog. I am sure she has something spectacular to share with you. I am also sure that it will also be Christmas themed. She is very good at following directions.

Thanks so much for joining us. Hope you go away with a little inspiration. Happy Crafting!!!

The order of the hop this month is:

Heidy

Joyce

Jeni (you are here)

Totally Papercrafts Challenge #91 - Stitch it!

The very Crafty Caroline has picked the theme this week at Totally Papercrafts and she wants us to use stitching on our creations. ( real or faux ) My Mom gave me a sewing machine and we are working on getting everything "right" so this may be the last time I have to hand stitch a card!!! WooHoo! It sure would be nice to zip right around instead of slowly making my way. Lol

I just wasn't ready to put away my orange and black yet so I decided to use it one last time. I paired up some floral print DP and these adorable Pilgrims from Whimsy and Stars. Mabelle sure has some cuties for the Holidays. She is also having a BUY 2 GET ONE FREE sale until Dec. 10th. So, pop on over to her shop and take advantage of this sale while you can.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #88 - Thank You

This week's challenge theme at Sassy Cheryl's was chosen by our very own Pat from Cards2Cherish. She wants us to make a card with an attitude of gratitude!! Thank you cards are one of those things you should ALWAYS have around. NEVER, EVER let kindness go unnoticed!! I am a big believer in "Thank You". Kindness is contagious and saying thank you is one of the best ways to keep it going. So pass it on!!

I used this new cutie patootie for my card this week. This is Noah and his teddy Patches. Aren't they too precious for words??? If you haven't been to Sassy Cheryl's shop to meet Noah, Pretty Polly, Sassy Sally and Lucy Lou....you need to!! They are all so adorable and they each have their own personalities.

Hope you can come by and join us in the challenge this week. Remember, you no longer have to use a Sassy Cheryl's image to participate, you just have twice the chance to win if you do.

Totally Papercrafts Challenge #90 - Glitter It

This weeks challenge is right up my bloggy friend Sarah's alley!!! I can always count on her to give me my daily dose of glitter & sparkles!!! LOVE IT!!! I have channeled her creativity and glittered my cloud and "magic" sparkles surrounding this adorable Sassy Studio, Marry Poppins image. I topped it off with a sentiment using one of Mary Poppins' famous quotes. This has to be one of my top 5 Disney movies. I could watch it over and over. Really i just love anything with Julie Andrews in it. Lol She is such a talented, beautiful lady.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #87 - Inspiration pic & Pink

This week's challenge is brought to us by our very own talented DT member Dawn. She has chosen an inspiration picture for us to work with.

This week it took me a while to get my idea going. I think I am suffering from Camper's block. (Lol) I got so relaxed that I think I lost some Mojo. I was scanning my Sassy Cheryl images and came across this adorable Button Flower Bag. I pictured the flowers as the dishes in the inspiration picture. I wish my wood DP was a little lighter but I think this will have to do.

Cheryl's images are so versatile! I have used this image before and I love the totally different results you can get. My other one is HERE.

Dawn's Fabulous Inspiration picture:

Look over the picture for a bit and see what you can come up with!!

Christmas Door

Happy Sunday!! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Are you ready to start another week?

We took our camper out for the first time on a short trip to Myrtle Beach. We had a great time and it was a learning experience for us all. Setting up and camping was a blast but taking everything down and unpacking it all was the pits!! I have a couple cards to get done and I am losing steam. Who knew camping could be so tiring? Lol

The image I am sharing with you today is a new one from Just Inklined. I had it colored up before we left and was itching to get it onto a card. There are some really great new Just Inklined Holiday images to check out HERE.

I am slowly getting some Christmas cards done and I am soooo ready to kick in the Season. It doesn't officially start for me until I go to the Dicken's Christmas Show here in Myrtle Beach. I have gone since I was a little girl with my Mom and Grandma and I continue to go and take my kids too. It is a day full of crafters, artists, food and Christmas fun!

The Other Woman...

Sassy Cheryl's Show Me Thursday #47

Technically is was still Thursday when I started typing this post! (Lol)

My hubby Steve got a new toy a couple months ago. He has been looking for an older model Airstream for a while and finally found one about 10 miles away. The picture below was from the day after he brought it home. He has been working on it DAILY and it is really starting to shine. I should be a little jealous of the "other woman" in his life, but I am happy he has found something to "fix". He is one of those people who just CAN NOT sit still.

You do know that I have to make the inside of the camper cute & cozy!!! My crafty friend Linda (Turtle in the Sand) is helping me make new curtains. She is in trouble with my hubby because she calls the camper an M.C.R. ( Mobile Craft Room) Bahahahaha! You have to admit that would be really cool!! Anyway... we went to Hobby Lobby and picked out a "groovy" floral pattern and a matching stripe. We also found those little dangling ball thingies everyone put on their curtains in the 70's to make them look authentic. (I have no idea what they are really called) We are going to make matching throw pillows too!!! I have actually learned a thing or two about sewing. We have also managed to break Linda's sewing machine...imagine that!!! Once we are up and running again I will post more pics of our progress.

Maiden voyage this weekend...wish us luck!

Momma's Little Clown...yep, that's me!

Totally Papercrafts Challenge #89 - Layer Upon Layer

I made this card for my (dare I say it) Great Niece!! How am I old enough to have a Great Niece??? She is turning One tomorrow and I sure wish I could be there to celebrate with her.

She is the cutest little carrot top! We love and miss you Izzy B!!
