enjoying my time...

Hello again...it's me again! I've been working on some things...

For the past couple of years, I've enjoyed making holiday cards for my co-worker...it takes off the stress of the holidays...and I can have fun making cards.  I coordinated  several challenges...mainly because they provided inspiration...that's the only reason!

Here's a listing of the challenge which I participated in:

Merry Monday #140: Create a card using a snowflake

Retro Sketches #146:

And here's the cards I created using the challenges:

I modified the sketch slightly, so I could create a shaker card.  They are so much fun to create..hopefully, you can see the snowflakes in the shaker?!

I did use another sketch to create my nephew's belated birthday card:

MojoMonday Sketch Challenge #379:

Oh, before I forget, I did manage to complete my Vintage Christmas Quilt...remember, the one which I was hmmm and a a-hmmm about...well, a lot of the times, I don't end up doing anything...instead of JUST DOIN' IT!

So as a result, I machine quilted the quilt...and got the binding done...and was able to hang it! 

This little huddle will provide a nice foundation for things going forward...I hope! Besides, my hubby loved it...and really...that's all that matters!

And it's the first accomplishment for 2015 allpeoplequilt.com challenge:

I will admit...it was an easy start, but I got it done!

Anyho, here it is:

Hope you enjoy your day! For me...it's the last day of vacation! Pooo! So back into the craft room I go to enjoy the last bit of the fun!

Merry Monday Tag#4...on a Tuesday...

Good Afternoon, what a nice day...I'm loving that my creative juices have flowing...it's been really nice to be in my craft room just making some noise!

Today, I was able to participate in the Merry Monday Challenge which has to create a christmas card using a flower!  Well, I went with the theme of the design team...which was to use the Christmas flower, Poinsettia...but I put a twist onto it...by having my flower be the white variation with a splash of pink.  As usual I did need some help with the design/sketch, so I joined in Fusion Card Challenge for the first time...I did miss the time line to post my tag, but nevertheless, it was fun to find another challenge to participate in.

Here's the tag:

SU! Colors: blushing bride, old olive & chocolate chip

SU! Stamp set: bells & boughs

SU! Designer Paper (retired): letters to santa

Dies used: tim holtz tag and ties & on the edge-scallops

Oh, and look what I found while I was cruisn' to some unknown designation while at work...the Quilt Sampler edition for 2014 Spring/Summer!  I love reading about the quilt stores across the United States...oh, and there's one from Minnesota...and believe it or not...I have not visited the store!  It's all really fun to read...and the patterns are fun, also!
