I made a banner for my project this month. 

  I found this star pattern online from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. The snowflakes were made using a MS punch. The dangly beads were purchased at "Dollar Tree" for only $1 for the set of three. I LOVE a bargain! I was saving them for the perfect project, and this was it!

I used the template Sleigh Ride from My Time Made Easy.

A cellophane bag was filled with Hershey's Candy Cane Kisses YUMMMM... and tied with a bow.

I cut a poinsettia out of CS, glittered the edges, and added a button to the center.

It's Time for Another Challenge at ABAC!

I LOVE Christmas! I couldn't resist making this adorable teapot and teacup with the DP I had been saving in my stash. The lace and rhinestone brad is from Hobby Lobby. I had been saving them for just the right project, and this was the one! The berries were purchased at Michael's last year after Christmas, and were marked way down, so I snapped them up!

The teapot is from the Tea for You and Me Kit from SVG Cuts, and it has been slightly altered. Actually I was forced to alter it. I somehow managed to turn the teapot upside down when I attached the handle and the spout. When it was time to make the lid, it wouldn't fit, so I had to redesign the top of the pot and the lid. Then I decided to add lace around the rim of the lid and the bottom of the pot to give it a Victorian look.

I made a teacup using the Grab a Cup template from My Time Made Easy. It goes together so quickly. I made a bunch of them this summer for my daughter's baby shower. I liked them so much that I made one to match the teapot.
I hope you'll join us for this challenge. You could win a fabulous prize and even be a Guest Designer at "Anything But a Card."
Enter your project HERE and see what the rest of the amazing team has created! Happy crafting! 

"Oh, Snap!" It's a Blog Hop!

It's Time for Another Challenge at ABAC!

Here is my project for this challenge. I used an image from Simply Betty's Steampunk Halloween Collection.

I made a collage and placed it in a glass scrapbook collage frame that was purchased at Hobby Lobby. I took the collage out of the frame to photograph it because of glare.

Here's what Hubs had to say:

"It looks religious."

"Religious?"

"Yeah, that's the Blessed Mother and the Devil, right?"

"Riiiiiight........."

A clock was added to the tombstone and pop dots were added for dimension.

 I used my new Nestie for the first time!

A die cut from Graphic 45 was added.

I found this key and keyhole at Archiver's.

Here's the collage in the frame. I like the way it's recessed behind the glass. 

I hope you'll join our challenge! There is a fabulous prize to be won from Lili of the Valley: a $20 gift certificate, and you could even be chosen as a Guest Designer! Zap yourself over to ABAC to see what the other amazing designers have created! You'll be inspired!

ABAC challenges start on the 1st and 15th of each month. 

It's Time for Another MTME Pretty Patterns Sketch!

This is my take on this week's sketch. I actually turned a round doily into an oval one by folding and trimming it. Then I cut around the sentiment using an oval Nestie and distressed the edges with a blue ink pad that I found in the dollar bin at Michael's. The flower is also from Michael's and the metallic ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

You can find the sentiment and DP in the MTME Shop. The sentiment is from the Keep Strong Collection. 

If you haven't checked out all the digital papers Lauren has to offer, you really should! They are all beautiful! It's so nice to be able to save them on your computer and print them out as needed. You can find them all HERE.

It's Softpencil Tuesday!

I made a cute little "Boo" purse to showcase a Softpencil "Michu" tag. 

Here is a closeUp of the tag.

A closeup of the purse. I altered the template "Slice" from My Time Made Easy and turned it into a purse. 

Stop by the Softpencil Studios to see what else is new! The DT has projects to share too. Their links are in my sidebar.

It's Time for Another Challenge at ABAC!

It's time for another challenge at ABAC! My posting day is the 15th of the month, but I made something so adorable, I just couldn't wait to post it now!

I found this cute lantern template at SVG Cuts. It's part of the Crisp Days of Fall collection. It's just perfect for Fall, and it goes together so quickly and easily. I used frosted vellum for the window panes and placed a small battery operated tea light inside. Stunning! 

I hope you'll join our challenge! There is a fabulous prize to be won from Unity Stamps, and you could even be chosen as a    

Guest Designer! Zap yourself over to ABAC to see what the other amazing designers have created! You'll be inspired!

It's Sketch Time at MTMEPPS!

Here's my take on this week's sketch! Melissa is really "rockin' " these sketches! Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I used DP from the Pop Some Fun collection. The sentiment is from the Keep Strong digital set. I LOVE this set! so many great sentiments to choose from!

 Sketch challenges are every other week instead of every week, so you have more time to enter.
