Festive Fluffles Extravaganza!

 Twas the day before Christmas..

HOLD ON A MINUTE!
Everyone needs to go here to the Some Odd Girl Blog and scroll down and look at MY card..I love seeing my work somewhere other than my own blog!  I was picked as a random winner from the Holiday Blog Hop.  I didn't win the category I entered...but winning a little something, and getting recognition is still WAY awesome!!

But now we've still got cards to show!
Well, you're in luck, because today we are having a just before Christmas Festive Fluffles Extravaganza!

I made Fluffles orange this time, the gray just didn't look right on the vanilla paper.  But Chippy has been pretty bad this year, so it's fitting. 

But Bean has by far been the worst.  

I love the sparkle!

I love this image, because I am a huge present shaker..and I'm pretty good at it.  Jon has had to get devious to hide things from me around Christmas time. 

I added a little bling with my iRock to this one. 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday so far.  Tonight we're headed to my Grandmother's for dinner with the family, and a gift exchange.  Then tomorrow, it's more family...we love family. 

Merry Christmas!

Deer Mae-Some Odd Girl Blog Hop

You know how we roll here..it's another card on my quest to 20!

But actually, today is a little bit different.  Some Odd Girl is having a blog hop..and they're going to let anyone play!  And today, that anyone is ME!  I'm entering my Deer Mae Card in the Hop as well as specifically the *Non Traditional* category.  I think it's out of the ordinary as far as Christmas cards go...I mean, it's not red and green, it's blue..and well brown, because deer are brown. 

I love the brown and lime green combo, and I wanted to use that in the papers as well.  The paper is from the 12 Days of Christmas pack by My Mind's Eye.  I can't get enough of their paper!  My sentiment is from a set that came from All That Scraps last year, or maybe the year before.  Hehe, Deer Freind..crafters are funny too!

I colored her with my Copics.  I am in love with these images, they are so fun, and they always turn out so cute. 

I kept is simple on the inside, as usual.  I used the same idea as far as the paper goes.

For those of you keeping track, this brings my tally up to lucky #13...maybe I'll be lucky enough to get picked to win the category..they are giving away some awesome stuff!  7 more to go!

Thanks for stopping by.

Some Odd Girl Challenge-Recipe 11-27-11

Ok, 2 post in one day, I know, unheard of..but I simply couldn't wait.

It's been forever (or maybe longer) since I've participated in a challenge. Well, I've stumbled across this great line of stamps. I can't believe I didn't find them sooner. Anyway, so they do challenges on the blog. This week it's a recipe challenge.

The blog is Some Odd Girl Blog, and the stamps are adorable! I got mine on Friday, which is why I wanted to get this up today, to enter the challenge. So here we go!

The recipe is: 2 pattern papers + colored cardstock base (NO KRAFT OR WHITE BASE) + buttons + punch/die cut = your card.
It has to include everything, but can have more, so my recipe was:
3 patterned papers: from MME 12 Days of Christmas paper pack
Colored cardstock base: Pool party, from Stampin' Up
Buttons: from my giant stash, that I will never use up..I'm glad I got to use a few here!
Die cut: I used Labels 4 from Spellbinders
I used the image and sentiment from Tree Trimming Kaylee

I couldn't wait to get coloring. This just might make me enjoy making Christmas cards.

I used some of the paper scraps on the inside.

This makes 3 cards down, and 17 to go. Look for several more Some Odd Girl Christmas cards coming to a blog near you.
