Holiday cheer

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I added my cards to the blog and what better time to start then a new year!! I've been hanging on to these cards so long I forgot about them.  So the theme is over but I think I can still get away with sharing them :)
I used the digi stamp set "Santa and Friends" to make the following cards.

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Holidays!

Hi!!  I am so excited to be part of this super fun team!!

My name is Kelli, but I tend to go by kel.  I'm a happily married mom to 3 boys, ages 10, 7, and 2 1/2 months.  Yikes!  That^^^ pic is with #3 the morning after he was born!  My life is full of crazy and my boys keep me on my toes!!  I live in beautiful Kaneohe, Hawaii on the island of Oahu... I was born and raised on the island and never wanted to leave!  I am a non-traditional college student on break from pursuing a double major in History and Asian studies with aspirations to be a college professor.

I started scrapbooking in 2003 when pregnant with my oldest son, turned into a collector, and then started seriously creating again in 2013 because my stash grew out of control!  Who am I kidding... it's still outta control!!  haha!  I like to think of myself as a clean and simple stamper... I gravitate towards clean lines and minimal embellishments when I craft.  I LOVE patterned paper and cardstock!!  I have recently fallen in LURRRRRVE with making cards, but my real passion is for scrapbook layouts... although from my blog you might not be able to see that!  I also have tons of fun with little gifts, tags and mini-albums although the minis take so much time! 

Whimsie Doodles was one of my first digi stamp purchases when I found out about digi stamps... but then it sat on my computer for AGES because I didn't know what to do with it! haha!  So glad to be part of this super fun team and looking forward to whatever comes next!!  Come visit me at my blog, Scraps & photoGRAFFS to see my fun creations and meet my beautiful family!!

Now on to my card for today... I'm using all FOUR wonderful images from the Santa & Friends set (in the middle of the "What's New" page) because I couldn't decide which one to use!  lol.

I also went with this super fun, super old (get used to seeing super old paper from me lol!!) KI Memories paper with these non-traditional Christmas colors!  Love it!

Thanks for swinging by... can you believe Christmas is only ONE WEEK away?!?!?!  So much left to do!!!

lovies, =o) kel

Ho ho ho!

Hi, it's Mary J again and I'm here with another Christmas card I've made using Whimsie Doodle's Santa & Friends set (again!)...

This is one of the cutest Santas EVER!  I used some Digital Design Essential papers, my Quickutz snowflake embossing folder and My Favorite Things alpha dies.

Okay, I gotta dash now - so much to do before Christmas gets here!  Have a lovely weekend all!

Mrs Claus!

Hi, it's Mary J here!  Have you all got your Christmas cards finished and posted now?  I haven't!  I thought I had mine all done but I have a massive short fall so I'm manically getting them done!!  So, here is one of the cards that I made for my Grandma...

I love this Mrs Claus - her pinny is so sweet and the way she looks over the top of her glasses is classic!  She is from the Santa & Friends set.  I thought the doily die cut would look sweet behind her and I topped it off with punched holly and berries.

Not long now until our next monthly challenge and we'll also be announcing the new design team!  Come back on 15 December to meet them all - see you then!

No Peeking!

I love to make lists! To-Do lists, shopping lists, projects ideas... I make lists for everything!

So, with Christmas coming, I wanted to have a place to jot down all of my lists for gift ideas, sizes, baking to do, and so on. I wanted to keep all of my notes in one place, and it needed to be small enough to tuck into a pocket in my purse where the kiddos wouldn't find it! My solution... one of those mini composition books, and my dollar store sells them in a 3-pack! Bingo! Cheap and easy to dress up! :)

       

I wanted to color up Mrs. Claus from the Santa and Friends set for the cover. After adding a little bit of Glossy Accents to her glasses, I cut her out, and popped her up in the center. The "No Peeking" sentiment seemed appropriate! :)

I had some scraps left from the cover, so I made a matching pen! I just rolled up a small strip of paper, and inserted it into the barrel of a mini gel pen. 

Now I have a cute little book to keep all of my Christmas plans organized!

    

That's all from me!
Thanks so much for visiting today!

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting us!  I'm showcasing today a couple of gorgeous cards that our lovely Guest Artist Andrea has created for us.

First up is this trendy card where Andrea has used Santa Sentiments with the cool chalk board technique - I'm going to give this a go!

I also love this cute card by Andrea using the very sweet Santa from the Santa and Friends set.  I love his glittery hat and how she placed the sentiment.

You really should pop over to Andrea's blog and check out some more of her gorgeous cards - you won't be disappointed!

Santa Knows...

Hi everyone!

Laura here today, and I wanted to let you know that Melyssa put some new digis in the store for you! Be sure to have a look!

I colored up Santa from the new Santa and Friends set, and popped him up on a simple card. He is colored with Copics and I added a little fluff to his hat and coat with a Marvy Snow Marker.

I'm thinking I might just put this up on the fridge... remind the kids that Santa is watching! ;)

Have a great Sunday, and thanks for visiting!
