You know how I always dread the whole year? Well, this time I'm only going to dread one day at a time. ~Charlie Brown

Hello!

Hope you are well!

I thought I should get in another challenge or two before the new year!

 

This is made with SU Shop the Town stamps and dies. The sidewalk is a Kraftin' Kimmie stencil. The tree and presents were fussy (shudder) cut and colored with Ohuhu markers.

I would like to link this up for:

Allsorts Week 812/13 Anything Goes and/ or Use Your Dies

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

Sarah is hosting over at Allsorts, and she would like you to Use Your Dies! There is the Anything Goes option too!

Welcome new Design Team Members! Christine, Donna, Lynne and Val!

I have used Spellbinders Olive Martinis and Christmas Cocktails. 

This was labor intensive. 

Read...I lack patience! 

Backing paper is SU. On SU white card stock. Bugaboo sentiment on a banner die! After spending 2 days (I get sidetracked. A. Lot.) cutting everything out, trying to keep it together and put it together; I think these turned out fabulous and fun!

 

 

I was so impressed with these; 

Read.... I am a sucker for punishment!

 I made 2 more!

 

The sequins are hiding glue schmeers!!

I have moved and lost my glue erasers! 

 

 

 3 prizes of Oakwood dies and coordinating stamps.

 

 

 

Starting today, our Allsorts challenges run every two weeks!

 

Have yourself a very Merry Christmas or Merry Everything for whatever you celebrate! 

 

See you in the New Year!

Allsorts Week 811 Lots of White!

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

Ellie is the host this week over at Allsorts and she would like to see Lots of White! There is the Anything Goes option too.

I might have taken it literally! As I made one over here! Was easy to do another!

I have used a Shimmer White cardstock from SU. Which is not really white! Not when held up to other 'white' cardstock! The words (?) are layered. The bottom layer is a blue, and two white layers. EF is Crafters Companion, and trees from Tim Holtz (Sizzix). Enamel dots from my stash.

3 Prizes this week from AALL and Create, border and floral stamps. 

 

 Go see what the rest of the ladies have created!

I went to the Christmas light parade Saturday night! Was fantastic. We were at the beginning of 35 minutes of awesome smiles! Started pouring rain just as we were leaving, so pretty sure the people watching way up the street were soaked.

It's been a real busy time! Of course I am not telling you anything you don't already know! Tuck Shop tomorrow; haircut, my car goes to the shop! Have to make my Greek pasta salad and rum balls for the pot luck supper on Thursday!Thursday is Scrabble, and a pot luck supper. Friday is a night out to see the Blossom Valley singers; Christmas songs! Saturday the library is hosting a free book page ornament making class. All supplies are included! And so on!!

Will be fun!

Allsorts Week 810 It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

It's Lynn hosting over at Allsorts today! Her theme is It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas! There's the Anything Goes option too!

 I have used AALL and Create Jingle Dreams. I stamped and colored with Ohuhu markers.  I masked the image and used a SU star stencil. I blended yellow through the stencil, then used Brutus Monroe Glitter Glaze. The panels of SU cardstock are cut with Stampendous dies; and the back panel was embossed with an old SU folder called Divine Swirls. Gold twine, a stitched button from my stash, and a Creative Expressions sentiment. That's strategically placed over a schmeered star! My stencil stuck!

2 prizes this week are from AALL and Create A6 Stamps

Go see the creations the DT made!
