All I want for Christmas !!!

Well believe it or not I am back with post 2 today!!! This doesn’t happen to often lol

I thought it would be best to get on the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl before I get anything else done. Oh Marlene has a gorgeous sketch for us to work with this week. I made a very CAS card for the sketch. Karen loves CAS and I am starting to really get into it too. I have used this adorable Home Grown image called Santa’s Letter from Sugar Nellie. Isn’t he adorable??? I so love last years Christmas images too so just have to use them again.

And don’t forget the Sugar Bowl has awesome prizes for one lucky winner.

For the Bride and Groom

Dereksgiftholdersm

Oh I got to play!!!!!!  Well I had some time to finish a couple of boxes I had started. You know I have all good intentions to make things then just don’t get them finished. But my nephew is getting married next weekend and I had to get this gift card box made before then. I didn’t just want to put there gift card in an envy so I used the top notch die from Stampin Up and made a little box for between the dies. I added some ribbon for handles and there you go it was done. I like it when it goes together so easy.

Merry Christmas

Evening !!!! I hope everyone is doing well!!!

As you all know I have been working crazy hours so my crafting time just isn’t what it use to be. I try to keep up with things but getting to do challenges anymore hasn’t been getting done. Plus I am waiting on an appointment with a surgeon, am having some health issues but do hope these will be taken care of soon.

But wanted to join in the Sketch Saturday Challenge that I hadn’t been able to do for a while. There is such a lovely sketch this week. This cutie here is Kiss me Quick from Sugar Nellie and I know you all love the Country Cousins as much as I do. These are available to buy over at Funky Kits , but I am sure you all have already placed your order. If not oh you know these are a must!!!

Thanks so much for visiting me and for the comments you leave me. I know my blogging isn’t much anymore but one day I do hope to catch up soon.

Simply Sassy!!!!!!!!

simplysassy1sm

Happy Weekend Everyone!!! And it sure is a Happy one for me. I am finally getting a weekend off. I tell you work has took over my life more than it ever has.

Working these last few weeks at 6 days has sure put a damper on my playing. But I am sure going to take advantage of it this weekend. lol

 

Today I have a couple of the Simply Sassy images to show you from Sugar Nellie . My DT package has took a tour of the world I believe so my very sweet and dear team member Dena stamped me some images so I could play.  Isn’t she just the greatest??? These images are by the very talented artist Krista Smith and I am so much in love with these adorable images!!! Oh the eyes are these cuties I just love them and these are so easy to color. Now don’t forget these are only available as a set right now and when you pre order these you get the lovely hippie chick free so that is a total of 6 images. Don’t walk, RUN  over to get your set today at Funky Kits!!!!

My Shopping List

Good Day Everyone!!! Thanks to those that have stopped bye. I have the Just Magnolia challenge for you today. I didn’t make a card this time, I went with the altered post it note hanger. A very dear friend sent me this vintage hanger a long time ago and I had never used it but decided to get it out and use it.

I made the square out of chipboard and adhered patterned paper to it, then followed Dawny’s sketch over at the challenge blog.

Here is the full view

And then a close up of it.

Hope you all come and join us this week.
