I've Got the Blues
Hello and Happy Thursday! Wow, hard to believe it will very soon be 2012! I feel like I just got the hang of writing 2011 for the year!! Since it's Thursday, that means a new challenge over at Paper Lovin' Gals. Here is your photo to find inspiration from. Isn't it fabulous?!Wednesday, December 28, 2011
Hello My Feathered Friends
I do love my feathered friends. I have an array of bird feeders for different types of birds. With a wooded back yard and waterfall amongst the landscape, birds of all kinds come and say "hello" at my feeders. I had to move the vast array of feeders that I have onto my deck because the deer were forever eating it all when they were in the yard. Only one problem, I now have squirrels and raccoons climbing up onto my deck to eat out of the feeders. I have to bring them inside at night because I'll take a squirrel over a night time scavenger of a raccoon any day! Believe me, my bird story does have a purpose on this Sweet Sketch Wednesday of a day. Our sketch is another winner...and speaking of winner, this week our sponsor is...
A Day for Daisies. The prize up for grabs is a $12 gift certificate for the store of A Day for Daisies. Sunday, December 25, 2011

The Night Before Christmas
I finished baking all my Christmas cookies...finally. They really seemed like a chore this year. Now I need to finish up my shopping and do more wrapping. It's not like I don't know when Christmas is every year, but I never seem to ever be ready!!!! Thanks for stopping by.

White as Snow
Like I said, the theme this month is "White as Snow." I have been so lovin' the white on white cards I've been seeing in galleries and on blogs that I had to give it a whirl. I used the stamp set Christmas Scriptures and followed the sketch from Seems a Little Sketchy. You have no idea how hard it was for me not to add color, but I stuck to it and kept it white!! The three different embossing folders helped as did popping up the sentiment layer as well as the very bottom layer to the main card.
This is your last stop on our hop today. I want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am still trying to get ready for it all, guess I'd better hurry!!!

Warm and Fuzzy
I'm hoping to get the last of my Christmas cookies baked this weekend. Only 5 more kinds to go!! Three are bar cookies so they will get done super fast, one is no bakes, and the last one is a drop cookie that makes a large batch of yumminess!! So not too bad!! Wish me luck!!!

Digi Day
Speaking of the holidays, sure hope your preparations for it are going smoothly. I always say I work better under pressure and that's why I'm never prepared ahead of time! Well the pressure is getting to me so it's time to sit back, take a deep breath, and remember the true meaning of the Season. Happy Birthday Jesus!!!
Merry Christmas Baby
Christmas Goodies - YUM!
Yes, I make loads of cookies every year for Christmas, but believe me, they never look like this, beautiful AND delicious!! Welcome to another photo inspiration challenge from Paper Lovin' Gals. What inspires you? The first thing that came to mind for me was the snowman...and I love snowmen! Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Sweet Santa
It won't be long till we hear sleigh bells in the night sky and the Ho Ho Ho of sweet Santa. But what you will see even sooner is the awesome challenge we have for you at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It's actually a blast from the past sketch that we bring out once a month for your challenging pleasure!!! And like every week, we have a wonderful sponsor, and this week it's Bugaboo Stamps.
Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

Yes, you see this right, the grand prize winner will receive 7 free digis of their choice!!!! How amazing is that??!!

Up on the Housetop
Up on the housetop reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?

Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?

Winter Wonderland
Good Tidings
Welcome to another Photo Inspiration Challenge at Paper Lovin' Gals. What a gorgeous pic, don't you think?! So rustic, so calm. But I have to admit to you, I was not calm when it came to creating my card for this photo!!!!! I had a difficult time pinpointing my inspiration, if that makes any sense. I ended up going with the pine green and red colors as well as the snow. Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Ahhhhh Christmas...
