P is for Presents and Poinsettias and PINK! :)

Coffee of the Day - Eggnog (had to go with the holiday feel!)

A fun new challenge begins today at ABC Christmas Challenges - 'P is for......'  You create the papercraft project and tell us what your 'p' items are. Our sponsors this challenge are Stamp and Create as well as Lili of the Valley stamps. you KNOW you would love to win either of these prizes! ;)

I used the cute Ansley's Surprise digi by Wags 'n Whiskers for my card. it already had 2 of the 'p' items right in the image - puppy and a present. all I had to do was add some pink wings and polka dots to the present to match the gifts in the MME Winter Wonderland papers.  a pretty poinsettia, some peppermint stripe baker's twine to match the bg paper and we are all set! sentiment comes from Flonz stamps.

I hope you will play along with us!

Be Mine at Top Tip Tuesday

Coffee of the Day - Chocolate Peppermint

Today begins a new challenge over at Top Tip Tuesdays. the theme for this fortnight's challenge is 'Let Me Call You Sweetheart' and we are sponsored by both Stamp Fairy and Stamp and Create. I'll be showing cards from both sponsors during the 2 weeks of the challenge. sure hope you can play along with us! :)

My card for this week uses a precious digital image by Wags and Whiskers, called 'Bear Hug' that is for purchase at Stamp and Create. Lacey has the coolest stuff in her store, and I have it on good authority (Lacey herself!!) that the new Saturated Canary rubber stamps will be arriving sometime soon!

The papers are from the Basic Grey True Love collection, sentiment is from Create with TLC, hearts were cut with Spellbinders scalloped die, envelope was made with an A*Muse die, flower is a Prima, and buttons are from my vintage stash. the sentiment ticket was sprayed with glimmer mist, dress and bear's bow were accented with shimmerz paint, and angel wings were coated in distress stickles. faux stitching was added with a SU! crumb cake marker and highlight dots were added to hearts with a white gel pen.

I want to thank all of you who stopped by either here or at the Moxie Fab blog to leave such kind and beautiful comments for me! oh, how you make me feel loved! my heart has just been soaring since the moment I was first asked to be 'Moxie Fabber of the Week'! again, thank you so very much! :)
