Welcome to the Holiday Wishes Blog Hop!

Welcome to my stop on the Holiday Wishes Blog hop! Hopefully you'll find inspiration somewhere along the hop and come back! If you came from the Kathryn's blog,  Wamfamily,
you are on the right track! Did you check out her organized scraproom  from IKEA while you were there??!! From here you go to Mandy's  Scrap blog! She has some great unique craft ideas and inspiration! 

I have 2 projects for you today! My granddaughter and I made a bracelet with the Imagine and Snow Angel cart and Shrinky dinks!! We had so much fun! And I made a Gingerbread man shaped Christmas card with my Gypsy!
First, here is my holiday wish card!! I love gingerbread men!! and Peachy Keen Stamps!!! (They just take everything to the next level IMHO!) Can you tell? I just loved the gingerbread man I used on my Christmas mini in the "Christmas with a twist" hop and thought I would make a shape card with it! That was the easy part!! Glittering and flocking the banner and hat and hearts was the tedious part!! So I only made 8 of these! I'm now making an angel card, my very most favorite thing! Angels... I used several carts to make these, PPDU, GBS, Jolly Holidays, 3 birds, and Everyday Paper Dolls for the one on the right. I made a different banner on the left one that uses the scalloped triangle from Calligraphy. I used my Gypsy and cut it all out with the Imagine. I made the banner a little smaller if I make anymore. But that isn't likely at this point. I'm busy with Azle Lions Club Angel Tree now and may not get anymore cards completed this year at all! I'll have to remember that next year!! Need to start much sooner! Or make a much easier card!! :-) If anyone wants the gypsy or cut file, leave a comment and I'll post it next week. I'm beat today after working on the Angel tree all day and making a huge pan of lasagna for our wrappers as well, but can post it later.

 Here's the bracelet!  These are all images on the Snow angel cart, that I printed and cut with the Imagine, then had to replace the blades! It ruined 2 blades! The deep cut and regular cut. You can't see the sleigh one very well, but its really cute with a little bundled up angel with a squirrel in her hand. The green one has a deer jumping over a basket of flowers! they are really cute in person! Faith loves it!

 

Now, for the main reason ya'll are here! My blog candy is a $10.00 gift certificate to Michaels! And if you have a gypsy or a cell phone that can use a lanyard with beads I'll make you one in your choice of color or colors, like the 1 shown below I made for my Gypsy!
All you have to do to win is leave a comment telling me if you make your own Christmas cards, if you have them finished! and your favorite cart to make them if you have a cricut. Doesn't everybody?! and be sure you leave contact information! You don't have to be a follower but I would love it if you were!! I'll use random.org to pick a winner!

Thanks for stopping by! Ya'll come back! I'd love to hear from you again! Now head on over to Mandy's! and get inspired!!

My entry for week #3 Circle Challenge!

This week Cricut Circle wants us to incorporate the colors of gray, orange, tan and burgundy, AND add lots of TEXTURE to the project.Create a project of our choice (card, scrapbook page, home decor project, . . . the sky’s the limit!)and must include atleast 2 cuts to qualify. I had a hard time with the gray!! I had to make the shadow in gray. And the flourish on the card is burgundy but it didn't come out that color in the picture.  As well as the colors in the ribbon. It has burgundy stripes also. The colors never look the same on the computer to me! Prize this week is $25 for Cricut.com store. I'm enjoying these challenges! But have to get back to finishing up my personal projects. I finally finished the baby album. Have to take pictures and post it here next!!  I wish I had been more of a cardmaker than a scrapbooker! Cards are harder to make for me right now! So these are definitely challenges even before they request specific itmes or colors!!

I used one of my favorite carts, Simply Charming for the "happy thanksgiving" and PDDU for the cornucopia! The Paper is DCWV Autumn stack. The paper for the cornucopia was white paper that I colored on my computer and printed on an HP printer and then cut with my Imagine. And of course the background flourish was done with my Cuttelbug.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!
