Christmas!

Hoping to spend more time participating in challenges.  They make me stretch my creativity.  I appreciate the time and energy that design teams put into the inspiration and posts.  

Love this Christmas card!  Can't you just hear this guy's snark!  Tim Holtz deer, Lawn Fawn and Martha Stewart snowflakes, SU sentiment.  Sharing with the Make The Cards Christmas theme challenge.  

Christmas in July

Christmas Crafts All Year Round has a challenge to make something OTHER than a card.  I like to give a something to work friends that won't break the bank.  Since I work in an area without running water, we use a lot of hand sanitizer.

I started with a tutorial from Stampin' Scraper, and adjusted it to suit my Bath & Body Works bottle.

I cut a strip of paper 2" x 10.5", then scored at .5", 1.5", 3.75", 4.75", 7.5", and 8.5".  I cut a 1" x 1.25" oval between the .5" and the 1.5" score lines.  Since I used my trusty Score Pal, I am also entering this in their more than one score challenge.  The snowman is cut from Tim Holtz dies.  I think I found my work Christmas gifts for this year!!

Our latest challenge at Words 2 Craft By is My cup runneth over. — Psalm 23:5.

I took the challenge pretty literally.  I have a friend whose (coffee) cup is always full.  Pretty good metaphor for life!  No matter how hard things might be, I need to remember that I am blessed with a wonderful family, good friends, a roof over my head, and plenty to eat.  It hasn't always been that way.   Tim Holtz embossing folder and sentiment (thanks to my coffee loving friend Diana).  The cup was hand cut
