NAC #24

This weeks Nacho Average challenge is to use the following colors:

Here is my entry:

I embossed the night of navy with lacy brocade (its hard to see how pretty it is in this picture)  and I also embossed the bashful blue floral framelit with the polka dots.  In the center, I just had to use the vintage faceted button on top of the silver glimmer floral framelet with a large pearl in the button!  I also added smaller pearls on the tips of the bashful blue flower.

I'm so retired !!   I made this card today to enter in the Nacho Average challenge and when I went to load it, the challenge was closed.   I forgot today is Sunday and the challenge closes on Sundays.  oopsey !!  Here it is anyway:

Delightful Challenge

I tried Wendy's (Digital Delights by Louby Lou) new svg snowman card.   It's so cute I had to made two! I'm entering these gals in the weekly Digital Delights Delightful Challenge - All About Christmas.  You can find the challenge here: http://delightfulsketches.blogspot.com/

Got all my Christmas cards finished (I hope!) so I started wrapping gifts and discovered I didn't have any tags, here's what I came up with this year for tags.  Cute little gingerbread guys!

SVGCuts Ornaments

Todays project with Allison was making SVGCuts ornaments from the Christmas Ornaments kit:  http://www.svgcuts.com/ If we were putting up a tree this year, these guys would be on it!  So, I guess I'll have to take them to my daughters house to put on her tree!

Xmas mugs

and so, I made more mugs from Treasure Box Designs: http://treasureboxdesigns.com/ This time I used the snowman that comes with the mug and I didn't forget the candy cane!  Taking these over to my friends house tomorrow, I know she'll love them!

Made this mug from Treasure Box Design: http://treasureboxdesigns.com/ I covered the cherry cobbler mug with fabric to give it some texture. Then I tried to follow the center piece on the ornament from the cover page on the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog for the center of my mug.  Added a few pearls around the edge of the mug, tied cherry cobbler and white sweater ribbon on the handle and voila !! What is missing from this picture is the red candy cane!  oops, I took the picture before I put the candy cane in!  At least I remember the hot chocolate!!
