Christmas Card Challenges #52

Can you believe it?!  We're at our last challenge for 2012!  Time has surely flown by this year, quickly.  We have been truly blessed by your participation this year, and are looking forward to having you join us again for the 2013 year.

Our last challenge for this year is Paper Piecing. Please keep in mind that all challenges are optional. The only real rule is that you must create a new Christmas Holiday, Winter or Hanukkah card.

On my card I pieced together the stockings with different patterned papers.

Christmas Card Challenges #50

Our challenge for this week is Snowmen. Please keep in mind that all challenges are optional. The only real rule is that you must create a new Christmas Holiday, Winter or Hanukkah card.

  I chose to recycle another great Christmas card that I got last year. The snowmen were too cute to throw away. So I cut them out using a nesties die cut frame. I think it turned out pretty good. :) Come and see all the wonderful cards the DT has made. Hope you will get some wonderful inspiration and show us what you've created.

Christmas Card Challenges #43

 

The challenge this week at Christmas Card Challenges comes from this inspirational photo. It was quite a challenge for me. I normally do traditional colors for Christmas cards so this one is really out of the box!  Hope you can join us for this challenge. I would love to see what you come up with.

Last minute Mother's Day gifts

Paper crafting and up cycling are my all time faves. So for some quick gifts that would be perfect for mother's day you don't need to look to far to make these great crafts. First up is a very stylish purse. This would be a great idea to put a small gift in and there is a pocket to put a gift card in too. I found the free pattern over at http://sueneal.blogspot.com/2012/05/studio-5-mothers-day-gift-bag-purse.html . Her purses are too cute. Go check them out. It was very fun and simple to make. I have a feeling I will be making allot more of these in the future.

My second project is a necklace made from the end of a Pillsbury crescent roll  package.

I used a Tim Holtz memo pin for the top where the chain would go through I punched a hole and glued it down before I started adding  the fun stuff. You could also just punch a hole through it like a tag and add ribbon or a chain to it that way.  I used glossy accents to glue down my pieces and then filled the whole thing with glossy accents to seal it. The hardest thing was waiting for it to dry. LOL  What do you think? Fun and easy. So if you are looking for last minute gifts try these out. You'll be glad you did. :)
