Waltzingmouse Challenge #25

I really enjoyed last week's challenge aand here's another one from Waltzingmouse Challenge #25 .  Just follow the sketch and post it here.  You can view my take for this week below.  Oh how, I love everything about the holidays.  This is one of the few occasions where I love everything that sparkles and glitters.  Without further ado, here's my card:

STAMP:  Flourishes
INKPADS: Versamark

The card maybe simple but I think it has its elegance, which was my goal while doing Christmas cards last night.
Tweny-four days to go before Christmas...

I'm too inspired...

If yesterday was a bad card day, well today, is quite different.  I was very productive.  This is one of the three Christmas cards I made today.  It will be my entry to Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #24 and Just Us Girls Color Challenge #60.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #23

Entering this card for Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #23 and hoping it wasn't too late to post.  I made this card 2-3days ago and but wasn't up to posting it online.  After I got done with this card, I started making another one for Peachy Keen, Let's Face It Friday Challenge.  But boy, I couldn't find my muse and couldn't let the creative juice flowing.  So I decided to stay away from my craft room for days only to find out that my Peachy Keen stamps and my newly bought Basic Grey Jovial paper stack are missing.  I've asked my kids if they touch or took anything from my craft room but of course both would say "NO." Well, I know otherwise.  This morning while I was collecting all the trash in the house, surprise, surprise, I found my BG Jovial paper stack and they were all cut and crumpled in the trash.  Yeah I know, what can I do, right!?  Still couldn't find my Peachy Keen stamps though but I guess I have to assumed that its also gone.

Well so much for my babbling, here's my card entry
