Good Morning and welcome to Decembuurrrrrr!! Time for Christmas carols, my beautiful Nativity, lots of lighted trees, cookies and sweaters! My favorite time of year...I LOVE IT!!!

We are kicking off December at Sassy Cheryl's with at fabulous challenge chosen by our very own crafty Jackie. She has chosen the theme White Christmas.

I see such gorgeous all white cards on so many blogs and I get so jealous. I struggle without color. This is about as white as I can get. This card did not photogrtaph well, it looks much better in person. I swear! Lol

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)

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 #32 - Paper Piecing




Tracy is our crafty hostess with the mostest this week for the Sassy Cheryl's blog challenge. She would like us to do some paper piecing. I am kinda new to paper piecing but I absolutely love it! I chose two images to work with this week; "Blanket Santa" & "Primitive Tree". This cute little Santa was screaming at me! His jammies and blankie are perfect for paper piecing. I had to give him some old fashioned jammies and a patchwork quilt. This card ended up "slightly" bigger than I had planned so I may just keep it for a Christmas decoration. Might cost a small fortune to mail it. Lol My hubby insisted I put another row of trees along the top, which I have to admit looks better. Love you honey!
Cheryl has the cutest Holiday images in her shop. It's never too early to start on those Christmas cards!
