My favorite Mo design this year
Once I saw all three of these ragamuffin carolers, I knew that would be my base. Adding the simple lamp post was a must. I enjoyed coloring these images a ton and love the way they came out.
I fussy cut each image so I could place them on this glittered music background paper. There are many layers of hand stitched patterned paper, cheesecloth, doilies, ribbon and some poinsettia flowers. I added some mini pine cones, stick pens, holly leaves and a small sentiment in the corner. This is all built on a wooden background that has a stand. It became a decorative present for my parents for Christmas.
I will be entering this project in the following challenges:
Mo's Digital Challenge #115 - 2011 Favorite Mo Project

CYP #90 - Sketch
Friday, December 23, 2011
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
This card was created late in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep. I had only been home from the surgery at the hospital a couple of days, and the nights were still the most uncomfortable time. I was watching Christmas movies and found that doing all the fussy cutting was so therapeutic. It all came together so easily thanks to the adorable patterned paper by Recollections.
I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
Catch the Bug - Winter/Cold
Card Crafters Circle - Christmas
Stamping Boutique - Winter/Holiday
Shelly's Images - Celebrate
I wish each and everyone of you the happiest of all holidays. May your days be filled with the love of Christ, our Lord - the reason for the season!

CYP Challenge 89 - Things with wings - Lauretta's Digital Stamps
Our challenge this week is "Things with wings" and our sponsor is Lauretta's Digital Stamps. I found this very intreguing image that just seemed to show someone watching over you. I thought it would make a good 'Best Wishes' card. I paired it with a lacey Cricut cut background set on some Heidi Grace papers. A sparkly bow draping two edges framed the image nicely.
Come join our blog hop and our latest challenge - you're sure to see plenty of great inspiration!
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Make it Monday - #68 - Linky Party
One Stitch at a Time - #93 - Anything Goes
Just Add Ink - #98 - Just Add Sparkle
Chocolate, Coffee and Cards - #2 - Tag Your It
Happy Monday!

A Dicken's Christmas stamp release - Copic Marker Scrapbooking
CYP Holiday Havoc 2011 Blog Hop!!!
We are very excited about holidays and wanted to add to the chaos and havoc.
What better way to do that, than to have a BLOG HOP!!!
If you have hopped over from Doreen's blog
All Craft Your Passion DT members are going to be playing along in the hop with some very special guest designers.
Each designer along the way is featuring a project that showcases a digital image from at least one of our amazing Blog Hop Sponsors.
What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at Craft Your Passion Challenges for a chance to win one of several prizes.
But, there’s a twist. Be sure to visit all the stops and leave a comment (we will be checking). Once you have finished the hop, we would like you to create a HOLIDAY project using at least one digital stamp and enter it with our Linky tool.
While you are hopping, be sure to check out the blog candy the designer's have to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!
This wreath was created using my handy-dandy scoring board, lots of patience and of course these adorable images from Bugaboo Stamps, one of our terrific sponsors for the blog hop. I started with just a $.99 wooden floral ring, added each rosette with hot glue, then added the images and some fussy cut trees from a piece of patterned paper from Recollections. All it needed after that was a bubbly little ribbon bow to hang it from... Didn't it turn out just too cute?
This adorable image came from another of our blog hop sponsors, Paper Shelter. The card was kept simple, with just some color blocking, distressing the edges and using some punched circles from one of the patterned papers. It will be a great card to send out this Christmas season!
Remember, once you have hopped to all the stops and left your comments (we will be checking), it's your turn to show us your "Holiday Havoc" project.
Make sure to include a digital stamp somewhere on your project, and link up your project over at Craft Your Passion Challenges by Midnight CST December 23 to be eligible for the prizes. Winners will be announced on our Monday, December 26th Challenge post.

CYP Challenge #88 - Tag Your It - Stretch and Bubbles
Over at Craft Your Passion, our challenge this week is "Tag Your It"... Easy peasy, huh? All you have to do is create a tag, or add a tag, or ... anything with a tag. We've got some great prizes from Stretch and Bubbles and an opportunity to show off your creative ventures...
For this one, I colored her with my Copics to match this great new paper I found from Michaels (I think it was a Reflection's pack to be exact). I created the frame out of small strips of the striped paper (which was my favorite), add some other DP's, the sentiment, a small tag, and a bubbly organza bow... It was done and ready to be sent.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
One Stitch at a Time - #92 - Use a digi
Make it Monday - #67 - Linky party
Joyful Stamper Inspire me Friday - #36 - Link party
Whoopsi Daisy - Sparkle and shine
Paper Sundaes - #99 - Anything Goes
Have a great week!!!

Delicious Doodles - #8 - Extravagant Christmas
Delicious Doodles has a great challenge going - it's over-the-top, embellished to the hilt, extravagant Christmas time! I had such fun decorating these great images from Teri of these Christmas ornaments... Went on glitter and gem overload!!! LOL The base of the card is red glitter paper, with a Cricuit cut oval laid on top of some fun gold net ribbon. I colored the baubles with ... of course ... my Copics, sprayed them with some homemade glimmer mist, then adnorned them with more glitter and rhinestones. Felt Christmas bows top them for the perfect finishing touch. My sentiment is a Cloud 9 stamp with handwritten wishes. The corners are another Cricut cut with a glitter pen highlight and another gem. To add the final touch, I made my own stick pins and stuck them in for good measure. All in all, a pretty heavily adorned Christmas card that will probably need to be hand-delivered instead of mailed...hehe!
So, how much can you put on a Christmas card? Take the challenge... I bet you can do a great job!
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Crafty Catz #112 - Anything Goes
Crafty Ribbons - #8 - Traditional X-mas Colors
