TESC96...

Happy New Year everyone! 

Did you celebrate the end of 2009? We stayed in... I did manage to stay up to watch the ball drop on TV... but I was confused! My clock said 12:15 when it finally happened! The mystery of the new year! I have to say that I was said... mostly because my kids are getting older... especially my little one... a year ago he wasn't even with us, and now he is trying to WALK! I almost cried when I thought of time going by so fast. As much as I am ready for him to be a bit more independent, I am going to miss babyhood!

We are going to my niece's wedding tomorrow and to the rehearsal dinner tonight so that will be our fun/date/going out time of the week (or month). I am still nursing so it was hard to figure things out. Plus we are so used to having my MIL baby-sit for us when needed... but she will be also at the wedding...

-------------------------

Taylor has a fabulous new sketch to celebrate the first day of 2010. Here is TESC96:

 

I won one of her newest stamp sets, so it was the perfect time to ink it up. Now that Christmas is over, I can get back to my flowers and butterflies. :o)

Dare to be fabulous Ebony...

I am struggling... my mojo is missing for days now... the last 3 nights I spent hours in my craft room and couldn't come up with anything other this one card... I have a number of them half done... played around with different sketches and colors... but nothing was working! Very frustrating!

Maybe I can do better today... I girl can hope...

So for today's card I used Ebony and paired her up with a sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges. I had a hard time with her hair, that was a big mess too... so she ended up with some grey-ish highlights... What do you think?

You're the Best...

I hope you all had a peaceful and memory filled Christmas. For me, it was really hectic between kids and presents... I ended up with a fierce headache... so I am glad it's over... now I feel more relaxed. No pressure for a while... It was strange tough putting all the Christmas stamps and accessories away.

Today I have a simple boyish card. I don't have many male oriented stamps, so I decided to get some... since I have boys...

 

Recipe: all supplies are from SU! unless otherwise noted... Extreme Elements and Extreme Skateboard... Big & Bold Wishes (Papertrey Ink)... Kraft, Rose Red, and Not Quite Navy card stock... Old Olive and Not Quite Navy ink... Ticket Corner punch... border punch (Martha Stewart)... silver brads... 3M dimensional tape...paper-piercing tools...

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve to you and your family!

Embellish snowflakes...

Yesterday I was able to spend a little time in my craft room, but I just couldn't find my Mojo! I was just sitting there for a while, looking at things... thinking of the projects I want to do... but no inspiration... do you have that from time to time? I did make a card, but I am not happy about it. The colors came from the challenge Be Inspired: Embellish Snowflakes.

I also wanted to show you the gift bag and Christmas card I made with the Michael's gift set from yesterday's post. I think it came out really nice... and I still have couple of file folders left (the damask paper came from a set of file folders). I used Christmas Treasures Borders & Center Round from JustRite.

 

How are you doing on your Christmas preparation? I am ready to wrap now... just waiting for the presents to show up. My MIL and husband will be doing the cooking, so hopefully Christmas Day will be nice and relaxing. :o)

Thanks for visiting!

Michael's gift set...

We did some on-line shopping yesterday! One step closer... still a lot to do before Christmas. We are not getting anything for my family in Hungary (we will be taking some things home the next time we visit), so basically it's just my husband's side and the kids... mostly gift certificates and toys...

When I saw Becca Feeken's fabulous gift set, I had to go to Michael's and pick up some of those $1 items. I decided to make a gift set for the school principal... I pretty much CASEd Becca's idea. It was fast and easy... and I love the set! What do you think? I made 4 of the same cards and I do have a matching gift bag with a Christmas card... that I will post later on...

SU! gift card holders...

We haven't done any Christmas shopping yet... can you believe it? I am just not in the gift giving spirit this year... luckily we don't have that many people to shop for...

We are going to give out some gift cards to my nieces for Christmas... so I made couple of gift card holders. The first one is pretty much the same as the one in a recent SU! Stampin' Success magazine... but I made some small changes on the second one...
