More Christmas Cards

So I started yesterday evening working on cards - trying to catch up on a card challenge for LinneCards and what do I end up doing - cards that have nothing to do with the challenge LOL I am card making like I scrap - I let the supplies lead me rather than me leading them!! I used a huge Joy stamp from Unity on one card and their Christmas List stamp and I believe it is itty bitty christmas santa stamp on the other. Both cards have bazzill as the base and Basic grey as the patterned paper. I am not quite done with Joy but as soon as I get a light grey copic and a glitter pen I will take care of that =0)

Other than that not much is going on!

Ft Meade Card Swap

Wow it has been awhile since I updated! It has been crazy around here with getting ready for the card swap and just general life with 3 kids! I finished my card, my finished product is below. I used Stampin up Green and Red cardstock and I embossed one layer with the snowflake die for the cuttlebug. I then used shimmerz on this layer to give it some sheen! Used a stampin up santa stamp and an inkadinkado stamp. I used copics to color in santa and accented him with stickles...overall i think he turned out pretty good!

The swap itself was awesome! It was hosted by Tracy and Amanda and they did a fab job! I had a blast trying out everyone's cards and for a newbie it was great to get some ideas and learn some new techniques!! I also unfortunately now want about 4-5 more stamps sets then I did when I went in LOL I have a pic of some of my completed cards below.

Also I won a fabulous prize from Rhonda - an adorable altered house she did! She is being pretty modest but it is adorable!!!! So overall a wonderful day away from home and I am uber motivated now to make some christmas cards!!! I think I will continue with Santa for now. But I foresee that Cardinal stamp set and the snowman stampin up set in my near future!

Our Weekend!

We had a very busy weekend full of trick or treating and a trip to the Smithsonian National Zoo!! It was a very fun weekend though and I think the girls had a blast (ignore autumns scowl in the halloween pic hahaha)

shoebox swap card

woohooo I think I am well on my way with my swap card!!! I have a great start and I ended up using the stampin up Santa stamp BUT I think I have a perfect spot for a new stamp on its way to me called Santa's List from Unity! I hope it comes soon I am about to die to post it LOL

Busy Busy Bee!!!

Sorry I have not posted much!!! I have been busy working on my altered item for the swap I am going to in 2 weeks! I really need to work on my card! (its a card swap LOL). I have also been pretty busy with Autumn with school projects and halloween festivities! I have posted a pic of autumns "altered" pumpkin - their teacher gave them a pumpkin and she had to turn it into something else...so with some scrap supplies (paper, pen, black paint) and some cotton balls and pipe cleaners I think she did a good job!! I had to help her with the paint though because it was getting EVERYWHERE!!!

I have also posted a pic of my wagon - I dont think too many ladies from the swap will see this and after the pain and effort it took to get the darn thing papered I want to share it LOL It does not look like I did much but it took several nights LOL





Other than that tomorrow is hip hop thursday at my fave stamp company Unity - I am going to try to resist ordering this week but Angela makes it really hard to resist her specials and items!!!! So I will be trying to resist tomorrow and carving my pumpkins!!! Nothing like waiting til the last minute LOL
