If The Scrap Fits

Welcome to March everyone.  I know lots of people say that February went by fast, but not for me!  Oh man, it felt like those Arctic cold days just kept dragging on one after the other. I am glad to be in March and the 'green month'.  Green is my favorite color! :) Ok...new challenge at Christmas Crafts All Year Long ...this month's theme is Mistletoe/Love/Kissing....so go ahead and create a Christmas project with that theme in mind and we want to see it! Here's mine! My stamp set is actually a Valentine's day one from Recollections.  I embossed it in black and then colored it in with my copics.  Surprisingly, I had zero items for mistletoe!!!  I did manage to find a little cut apart from a sheet that happened to have a mistletoe on it, so I fussy cut it out and put it atop of my 'hogs.  The DP is Merry and Bright from Pink Paislee and the stamp set is from Momenta (wow..old on that one eh??? ). Hop on over to the blog and play along with u...

So some news for you...I'm really excited to be on the   Christmas at Sweet Stampin  Design Team.  I love making Christmas cards and so it's going to be great to inspire you with them each month. Our challenges are anything goes, so this is a great way to challenge yourself to get a head start on your Christmas cards for the year! Here is my first card! Now we all know that I am trying to use up some of my older stock which is exactly what I've done here....I'm working with Simple Stories and Pink Paislee for my DP and my die cuts.  I fussy cut the snowmen out of a 3x4 card and used it as my focal point.  I've got tonz of those doilies so I'm trying to incorporate them into my projects as well.  A few orange Nuevo dots for a pop of color and voila!  One down! Stop by the blog to see the rest of the DT projects and to play along.  I look forward to stopping by your blog!

Good morning everyone!  It's challenge day at Lollipop Crafts and this week it's all about the lace!  Such a pretty dainty thing and we'd like to see what you can do with it on your projects.  It can be actual lace, lace punches, lacy borders whatever you can come up with.  All of the deets can be found on our challenge blog so please stop by and enter.  I can't wait to see what you create and the design team as well as our two guest designers this month have created some gorgeous projects for you! So here is my dainty little piece. I have no idea why I decided to do a Christmas card.  I think it's because I had that embossed piece of cardstock and really wanted to use it up.  I had seen an all white card in a magazine I picked up recently and loved the look of it so I knew I wanted to try that as well.  So this is what I came up with.  The cardstock is embossed with a cuttlebug folder.  The lace is actually cut off from a big ...
