SNOWFLAKES & BUTTERFLIES & ONE HAPPY MAMMA!!!

Hi Everyone!
I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for the Holidays! I have some very exciting news for my family & I!!! My oldest son, Brian who is in the Air Force is coming home for Christmas!!! We haven't spent a Christmas together in 4 yrs!
He was in Japan for 3 yrs & last year he was in Afghanastan, so you can imagine how thrilled I am!!! He will be here for a week & it so happens I have my youngest son, Brandon for Christmas this year, so we are all very excited!!!
So the planning & preperation now starts!!! :)


Today's card is a little out of the norm, usually my style is all cutesy, but I make something simple & elegant, which I think I accomplished. Please let me  know what you think! 

I found this Pearl Cardstock in my stash-Used a Lavender Dew Drop ink & mixed 

Frosted Crystal embossing powder with some MS glitters & embossed the snowflakes & sentiment. I also used some Pearl Glimmer Mist

The Snowflake stamp is from MS Stamp Around the Page (HSN)
The Sentiment is from Whimsical Designs

The only different things I used for this one was Silver Stickles & the Snowflake is from OCL

Here's a close up of the Sentiment & Snowflake

As always, Gilby & love your comments...his tail just wags away when he sees me smile!!!

A SNOW COUPLE ANNIVERSARY!

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to share the cute little Anniversary Card for my Hubby, kind of like the couple on the cocoa packet I showed you yesterday 

The cute little snow couple is a Digi Stamp that I got from Cindy's Scraptastic Designs  I think it's a perfect match for the couple on the cocoa, so I was super excited when I found it!!! I used copics to color it (still need lots of practice) then, as you can see I went a little over board on the bling, I kept thinking it needed more & then I ran out of time & didn't really make the base of the card as well as I had like to. That's ok though, because I still think it's cute & I know hubby will like it (we are celebrating this weekend)!!! So, all the bling consisted of lots of Stickles, Black Enamel Accents & Aleene's Glitter Snow. The sentiment is from Whimsical Designs.

As always Gilby & I love your comments...his tail just wags away when he sees me smile!!!

SOME WARM COCOA ANYONE???

Hi Everyone!


I have been wanting to try this SVG File from The Cutting Cafe' for a while now, so I thought this is as good a time as any. Yesterday was my Anniversary & we got married at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, PA, so I had this packet of Cocoa Mix I kept from the Wedding. 

This was one of the favors we had for our guests

I used my Imagine & Yummy Cartridge for the cup-The pattern paper is 

"Dot's & Stripes" from Echo Park

The sentiment is from Whimsical Designs

I used Glossy Accents for the Steam & the cute little Marshmallows are from a PKS Set Called "Scent with Love" 

This is what the inside looks like-

If you are going to present this little gift to someone, you should wrap some pretty ribbon around it, I just didn't have any that matched
