Allsorts Challenge 839 Create a Scene

Hello!

Hope you are well!  

Lynn is our host over at Allsorts  and  she  would like us to Create a Scene. There is the Anything Goes option too. If you're stuck for a scene. Like I was. For weeks!

 


I have used Lavinia Book of Spells and Ink Pot. I have used SU ink, metallic pens, a sentiment from LDRS that was heat embossed. Kraftin Kimmie Whimsical Winds stencil and Recollections bling!

Two prizes of Lavinia, one a collection of mini/small stamps with bottle sticker for scene making and three stamps as second prize (photos not to scale). Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing loud for all to hear.

Hello!

Hope you're well!

Christmas is coming whether you're ready of not!  

I made an ATC.


 
 I made this today! I'm going to a wine and cheese party tonight. I punched a hole  in this, it will be used as a tag for the hostess gift.

I don't have a clue where the dies are from, and the background piece was cut down out of a snippet of card  stock! And it Sparkles!!

Snippets Playground Challenge #521 

Tag-along (and ATC's) December Challenge Red and Green or Anything Goes

I looked after the upstairs dogs today. Koda is a mini Pitbull and is a Princess. Clyde is a Merle Border Collie and he just chills. He needs someone to throw a ball. All. Day.  One person was working, and the other had meetings, and there was a window being installed! We did fine! I got the treats made for my Scrabble group. I entertained dogs. I got my things together for a wine and cheese party I am attending tonight.

Tomorrow I am going to  a Christmas Market at the greenhouse. Then out to West Creston with a friend for a Christmas Craft Fair. Not sure if we will be back for the Blossom Valley choir for their Christmas concert.  

Talk to ya later!

Allsorts Challenge #838 Something NEW/ Home, Baby etc.

Hello!

Hope you are well!

It's Liz as the host over at Allsorts!  She would like to see something NEW! There is the Anything Goes option too!

I have made a Christmas card, and before you jump all over me...I was going for a new pet. If that doesn't work, my stamp and stencil are NEW!


 I have used an AALL & Create stencil - Circular Disruption and the cat from Cheesed to Meet You! The sentiment is computer generated, the tree is SU Holiday Happiness. I have stenciled with SU inks, colored with Ohuhu markers, and used glossy accents on his eyes and baubles.

 Two prizes, A4 and A5 stamp sets from AALL and Create 

 

 Go see what the DT have made!

Talk to ya later!

Sometimes amazing people forget how amazing they are.....this is your reminder.

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

I have made this!


 
 
I have used a Stampendous House Mouse stamp called Hedgehog Holiday. It's colored with Ohuhu markers and metallic gel pens for the ornaments! Cut out with Stampendous dies and the sentiment is Creative Expressions Christmas Blessings. The twine is out of my stash and the wreath charm is Craft Consortium.
 
Christmas Kickstart #105 If It's Christmassy, Link It Up
HMFMC # 454 Anything Goes/ Option Theme Christmas Cheer
NBUS #81 Pretty sure it's the first outing for the stamp! 
 
I made a quick trip up north for Bryson's birthday. Weather was good.
Home until it's warmer and the winter tires can come off!
Busy baking, made poppycock, took on another volunteer job, Christmas craft sale was last Saturday. The last play of the year for our drama group was this past weekend too! Now there's the towns choir, and band, and I'll probably go to all! 
Had my car in the shop again today. I have not had interior lights since I got it. And my newfangled car messages me to tell me!!!! It's a hybrid. 2 batteries. One hasn't been working! In the summer I don't notice the non lights, but in the winter I need one of those headband flashlights to get my things out of the back and the back seat. They assure me it's fixed!
I have a wine and cheese party to attend next week. A few other social events before Christmas!
I am feeding the kids tomorrow night so we will discuss Christmas. I don't know if I told you that Emma's mom has been in the hospital for months. She has Gullain-Barre syndrome. She was away for some rehab, but is back in our hospital. Her fingers are starting to work again, but she's in a wheel chair and can't transfer herself. Or stand. She's working hard. She might be able to go to one of the seniors homes in town for 7 weeks respite. It's a slow process.
Better go!
