Thursday, December 3

hello my name is....confuzzled!

Welcome to another addition of Unity Thursday!! In an effort to get a head start on some much needed 'Thank You' cards, I am skipping Christmas ones! ;) just kidding!

I do like to be on the ball with thanks you's though, otherwise, I tend to fall behind and that's not a downhill spiral I prefer to avoid!

First up is the November Scrap book KOM- That stamp is fun-love how you can add anything in the blank.

and it would appear I really have my holidays mixed up now! ;) I just love this image from the November KOM. I added glossy accents to the red hearts, and brown pearls next to the sentiment.

enjoy!

Flower Soft December Challenge

Happy December 1st! It's officially the holidays, and I am officially not ready for them!
For this month's Flower Soft Challenge, we are creating a holiday themed project- Something to help get you all in the Christmas mood!!

For those of you who steer clear of flower soft because of your CAS style- I am here to show you it works with CAS also!

Here is a close up of my tree. I very lightly applied some Polar White Flower Soft to my tree.

Make sure to check out the rest!


enjoy!!

enjoy!!!

Anything goes!

The Monday chicks have been slacking, and we need to get back on the ball of posting! ;) We decided late last night to share an anything goes card- and I was planning on sharing this one, so here you go!

I did this one a while ago for the LAD newsletter- if you get their newsletter, you may have seen this one. The image is from Build a Bauble- and I sprinkled polar white flower soft along the top and on the bottom-You know how when you shake the snow globe and it's falling everywhere!

check out Amber's , Maren's and Jeanne's blogs for more inspiration!!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend- I managed to spend some time with family, and worked on resting to get over this dang sinus infection!
enjoy!!

Speaking of thankful......

It's Stamp Simply time and the challenge is mass production cards- Well.....Thank You's are always a need around here, and since we just had a birthday- my daughter needs to get hers out!
Perfect opportunity to whip out a few cards!

I thought something she could help with would also be appropriate- since they are her thank yous! She loves to use the punches- I opted for brighter colors and non Christmas themed- but you could easily change the papers if need be-

Here is all 3 done in a matter of a few minutes- use your scrap paper & ribbon up also! If you want- you can add more embellishments- but these are the epitome of quick, and CAS!

Make sure to upload using Keyword ssnotime114!! and here are the rest!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are spending your day just how you want to!!
We are going to start ours off with some Monkey bread and then PIE!! Pie for brunch!



Here's a quick little card I whipped up using the Donna Downey set- LOVE the silhouettes in it!!

enjoy your holiday!!

ready or not....

The holidays are coming! Sorry to have been posting less than normal lately, but I have been struggling with my allergies and kiddos. I officially have a sinus infection, so antibiotics to the rescue! I am hoping to be back to myself in a few days!

My daughter has a short week this week and has been doing better- My hope is that we just get through December and she will hopefully outgrow a lot of her issues by January...(this is wishful thinking!!) Thanks for all of the comments of support and ideas! Glad to hear others have gone through and survived to be normal one day! ;)

in between feeling ok and reallllllly cruddy I managed to whip out a card- I am in CAS mode during the holidays more than usual- Something that you can easily reproduce for mass quantities if need be. I used stamps from Lizzie Anne's November MM Christmas Wishes and the Fanciful Flourishes set. They were meant to work together- look at that flourish on the ornament! ;)

I went over the flourish and ornament hanger with a sakura gelly roll pen for a little sparkle. I have been liking the pleated ribbon look lately, so I added a few pleats to my white satin ribbon.

off to feel better- enjoy!
