CR84FN46 - Pink Yellow Neutral - What a Doll!

Today it's cold and snowy here.  We are expected to get from 6 to 8 inches and I think we are well on our way - it's been snowing for a straight 5 hours now.  Should make for some fun picking up my son from school!  YUCK!  I thought I'd stay home today (no kidding!) and get something done (other than housework - another YUCK).

I made this one for a princess I know who is having a birthday.  Like all little people she loves to hear the story of the day she was born.   We always begin with "Once upon a time..."  My mom still tells me about the day I was born, and I still love to hear her tell it.

My card today is my attempt at randomness.  I have pieces taped at angles, and my strip of ribbon is short and unfinished - not neatly wrapped around the side of the card.  I know it still looks organized doesn't it.  Oh well - I'm still learning!  The two color bow is made from  both pink and yellow seam binding wrapped together.  The Spellbinder dress die I found at a local scrap shop - and had to have it.  I hope you like it!

Stampin' Royalty # 107 - Day Lilly

I hope everyone is having a good week.  I'm still playing around trying to organize my things better.  I've bought a few of those white wooden storage boxes from Michael's, and they seem to be helping.  The hardest part is putting them together.  My thumb is sore from turning the screwdriver!! 

I decided time to give cleaning a break and have some fun so I decided to play along in the Stampin' Royalty challenge this week.  I immediately started thinking flowers - I don't know if it was the colors or the little leaf shapes but that is the direction I went.  I colored these beautiful day lillies from Serendipity and framed them in beautiful Authentique paper and Cheery Lynn dies.  I added a seam binding bow with a button brad and a sweet tiny tag to finish it off.

Waltzingmouse Christmas Card Challenge - January - Sky Background

    

Did you know Waltzingmouse had a Christmas Card Challenge?  The challenge is pretty simple, on the 10th of each month a new challenge is issued in the Playroom Forum.  While you increase your stash of Christmas cards, you increase your changes of winning a wonderful prize as well.  This month the challenge is to create a card that showcases either a daytime or nighttime sky.  I don't know about you, but I got caught in the mad dash this year and was short more than a few Christmas cards.  The thought of buying cards from the store was more than my crafting heart could bear!!  I resolve to not be caught empty handed this year!! (Well hopefully right?)
