Happy Holidays

I had so much fun using this sketch yesterday, but had a mishap in that I glued the patterned paper upside down, so it was time for a 'do-over".  Aren't you thankful for second chances and grace?

This card features Lawn Fawn stamps and a holly die from Little Inker Designs.

Decaf and Laughs!

I absolutely adore this sentiment that is included in the digital set offered at Verve.  It's called My Cup to Yours and is available at no charge in the Verve Store in honor of the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.


I saw my crafting error through the camera lens.  I turned the square panel upside down before adding the sentiment and little cup.  The trees are standing on their heads!  This is probably more than I can blame on decaf!

Thanks, Julee, for this amazing digital stamp set and the fun sketch.

Laughter is great medicine.

Thanks for Being So Kind

The Verve December Inspiration photo is full of bright colors and whimsy!  What could be more FUN than hanging stockings from a chandelier....unless it is splashing around in water colors to make a set of cards.

The photo inspired me to include some clean white space along with the pink and turquoise and to include a little stitching.  Lots more fun elements for future crafting!

Stamps are Verve's Kindness Matters and Joyful Blooms.

Warm Wishes---Thanks Waffle Flower

The Sweetheart papers are by Paige and Brooke, and I printed swatches in hopes of making a cute Valentine card some time during the holidays.  Just couldn't wait to use them, so I paired them with the adorable Waffle Flower set I won in the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog hop.  Thanks so much Waffle Flower for the great prize.  Amy is deserving of a big thank-you, as well, for her efforts in creating such a fun event for crafters.

Thanks for visiting.  Hope you are blessed with a warm cup of coffee, a little crafting time, and all the joys of the Good News of Christmas.

Santa, I can explain.....

There's a wonderful treat in the Verve Store:  Julee's offering an adorable digital set called From My Cup to Yours in celebration of the Winter Coffee Lovers Bog Hop.

While out shopping yesterday, I treated myself to a new stack of Christmas Papers by Paper Studio called "A Very Merry Christmas"  and set a goal that I would craft only when all the gifts were wrapped.  I made it!

I "adjusted" the Mojo sketch just a bit so the printed trees would show.  Love the sentiment...don't forget to stop by Verve for yours!

Thanks for stopping by,

Christine

Red, Gold, and Silver at Jo's Scrap Shack

This image from Bugaboo Designs is such a cutie!  It was fun to color Little Penguin and to place him center stage with some fun red Christmas papers and some glittery accents.  Hope you will find some time to visit Jo's Scrap Shack this week to and play along.  The challenge is Red, Gold, and Silver with the option of adding stars!

Wishing you all the blessings of the Christmas season!

Mojo 477---So Kind

Although it's been a week since I last created a card, it does feel good to know that my Christmas cards are all in the mail.

Love this week's Mojo sketch, and there's always a need for thank you cards.  Verve's Kindness Matters has wonderful sentiments for thank you cards, and the flowers are gorgeous.  The papers were created by Heather Roselli.
