Happy Christmas Mittens/ FMS212

Good Morning! Actually, it might be afternoon for some of you. Just popping by today to post a card that I created for the Freshly Made Sketches212 challenge.

I pulled out paper from my "stash". Some that I have had for quite awhile. Most of you know how that is! I had seen some really cute cards with mittens and knew I wanted to do one for myself.

The Mittens were die cut using my Cricut Explore and the Holiday Cakes cartridge. I used SU silver glitter paper for the cuffs and snowflakes. I was so pleased how the snowflake cut. Such a tiny, intricate piece, but the Explore did an excellent job. This machine is truly amazing.

Although the patterned paper is not SU, the Midnight Muse and Pool Party matched perfectly with it. I was a disappointed with the one mitten not being lined up better and almost started over, but decided against it. Maybe the person I'll be sending it to wont notice. ;0)

Tomorrow I hope to be posting some Cricut Explore and Thanksgiving projects that I have been working on , but today I'm off to do errands. 

Go make it a great Friday and  go do something CRAFTY my friends!

Festival of Trees Christmas

Today I was able to head into my Studio and create a Christmas card using the new MOJO Monday #423 and a new challenge blog to me, Christmas Cards All Year Round.

The Christmas Cards All the Year Round challenge was to create a card with trees being the focal point. I believe I met that challenge and the sketch challenge over on MOJO Monday. I'm considering using this layout for my Christmas cards this year. Of course, I still need to finish my Thanksgiving cards to give that any serious thought yet!

Make your Wednesday great and go do something CRAFTY my friends.

Merry Christmas/FMS211/PP270

Hello all! Just dropping by today with a Christmas card that I created for Freshly Made Sketches and The Paper Players.  Although I'm just making it under the wire with the FMS challenge! I hope you all had a great Sunday and were able to do something crafty.

I did make numerous attempts to emboss the image, but the Black Embossing powder was giving me fits. I really dislike that stuff. Probably more practice will get me past the frustration of working with it and be successful using it.

Well, I'm off to eat, care of my Chloe and then headed for serving at church during our 5PM service.

Have a wonderful evening and go do something CRAFTY my friends!

Crafty Hugs,
Bernie Bee
