Here's the cupcake inspiration photo:

I just looooooooove this DRS image! I know the western theme doesn't really go with the above photo,  I was so excited to work with it!  It is a snowman and there are trees and the colors are there, soooo.....   :)  The sentiment is also DRS.

Come on over and play with us at Cupcake Inspirations!  :)

new digis and FBD challenge

Using a NEW Fresh Brewed Designs digi, I printed it card size, so this ornament IS the card. :)  I filled the snowflake with blue glitter glass from SU!  I also put black glitter on the ornament topper and a little twine for the loop.  I was going to use wire, but my scrappy space is too messy and I can't find anything.  LOL!  Another "better in real life" kind of card, but what a fun new image for Christmas, right?  There's more, so check them out and get some for yourself. 

The challenge (with a prize) for December at the Fresh Brewed Blog is Christmas Creations.  Come on over and join in on the fun!  :) 

Season's Greetings!

Ah, it's finally December.  We put up our Christmas tree this weekend and Bob our elf on the shelf made his appearance last weekend, so we are getting into the holiday spirit.  I've made some Christmas cards, but I'll be doing photo cards for the majority of my card list. 

 

I did just buy this rubber stamp set from A Muse Studio.  I just fell in love with it when I saw it and had to have it even though, of course, I did not need it.  lol!  Unfortunately, this card is a "better in real life" kind of card, but I'm sharing it anyway.  :)

The trees and buck were stamped in memento black ink on white cardstock.  Then I used my glue pad and tapped it over the entire scene, sprinkled glitter embossing power over it (also A|S, btw) and heated it.  It gave it the perfect amount of shimmer which I wish you could see. ;) 

Happy DECEMBER to you all.  :)

So thankful...

for coffee!  Let me tell you, my ds was up at 4 a.m., so this is so very true for me every day, but especially today....... (yawn!)

The new weekly challenge at Fresh Brewed Designs begins today and is "So thankful"...

I used two FBD digis on this card:  Coffee Bag, and Warm and Cozy Latte. 

last day of the FBD blog hop- and a suprise!

Thank you for joining us this weekend for the Fresh Brewed Designs last Rubber stamp release blog hop of 2012.  It's been a fun year filled with wonderful FBD rubber stamp designs being released every month, but there's more fun to be had in 2013!

 

Here is a card I created with Hannah Belle Cooks. I actually created this card before I decided to do the oatmeal turn cookie container, so yes... it's similar.  This image just makes me smile- so cute!  And perfect for giving with homemade goodies.

and my suprise is that I am giving blog candy to Amyjrockstar.  She's my 100th follower!  I don't like to ask people to follow me, so it's been my secret plan to give blog candy to the 100th follower and she is it!  Thank you to ALL my followers....  more surprise blog candy to be given in the near future.  :)
