Blue Ballerina

Hello Everyone!

I want to say a few things. First, welcome to all of the new followers of this blog.  Second, Thank you for coming back to visit again and OMG isn't she the cutest little ballerina you have ever seen.  I just love her.  When I was little I could not get enough of watching the real ballerinas on television and in theaters.  I would practice for hours, but alas it was not a career that I pursued (lol).

I am entering this little darling into the following challenge:

A CHRISTmas Hop

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for joining us for this CHRISTmas blog hop.  I made these cocoa holders or should I say Snowman Soup holders to pass out at work among my co-workers.  I think they turned out so cute.  I have always wanted to decorate some candy canes into reindeer and with this blog hop I finally got the chance.   I hope my co-workers enjoy their soup (lol).  If you came here from the designing wonder Shawnee you are on the right track.  If you would like to start from the beginning then you want to start at Mary's Blog at Cardz TV.

 Mary is giving away to one lucky winner a Gingerbread Cricut Lite Cartridge and the Holly Jolly Stamp Set.  Lynn, our generous sponsor is donating a North Pole Paper Pack Collection from Crate Paper, thanks Lynn@bootsandblingtime.blogspot.com

GOD Bless you and your family Faith.  Comments are welcome.  Enjoy and GOD Bless and let me be one of the first to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Just My Style

Hello Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to the first Cardz TV Stamp Challenge.  This week at Cardz TV we are encouraging each designer to make cards using "your style."  Our first challenge was to create a card using "Just My Style."  For instance my style is Clean and Simple with a touch of elegance.  So what is your style?

This  card was created with Ticket Talk another one of Mary's great stamp sets.  When I saw this particular stamp I immediately thought of using the Love Struck cartridge because of these lips (lol).  I thought it was a perfect match.
