July Challenge at Christmas Cards All Year Round is UP!

So, the July challenge at CCAYR is to use red, white and blue. I know, it seems strange for Christmas card colors, but believe me, it's very cool! Just check out all the DT cards - http://christmascardsallyearround.blogspot.com/. I am also on the DT at CCAYR and my July card is shown below. I used some Friendly Forest paper, the Cricut, a beautiful flower that I won in some FAB blog candy from Ann, a little twine and a border punch for the white side border. Super easy, but effective I think. So.....Go check out the other DT cards and please join us for our July challenge. You can try out this unusual color scheme and get 5 Christmas cards done - in JULY! Thanks for stopping by today :)

Christmas Cards All Year Round - May Challenge

I'm posting this a little late, but better late than never I guess :) The challenge at CCAYR this month is to use flowers on your Christmas card. This is my DT card. I cut the poinsettias with the Cricut using the Joys of the Season cartridge and added stickles. The pp is by Paper Studio. The little branches and the sentiment are rub-ons by American Crafts. Be sure to check out CCAYR for all the great cards by the DT this month. Also, you should join us in participating this month in the challenge. You can get some great Christmas cards done and be ahead of the game this year! Thanks for stopping by!

My first day on the Design Team!!!

Today starts my 3 month adventure as a DT member at Christmas Cards All Year Round and I'm so excited!! All of the 'ausome' DT ladies have posted some beautiful cards for our kick off. Please click on my title above and go check out all the eye candy over there! You should join in the challenges too! If you do, you will have a TON of Christmas cards done by December and wouldn't that be handy? So, come on over and join in! The April challenge is to make cards using photos on them. This is my DT card. The photo is from our Alabama snow we got in March this year. I cut the scalloped circles with Cricut's Mini Monograms cartridge and added a sticker in the center. The little trees were cut from Christmas Cheer. The ribbon is from my stash. I think it came from Hobby Lobby. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to go check out Christmas Cards All Year Round!

Snow Pic card

Our challenge at 365 Cards today is to use a photo on a card. Well, since we NEVER get snow in Alabama, I HAD to use a pic of our March 1st snow this year! This was taken in my back yard and is one of our Alabama pine trees. I used some red card stock, the photo and some green Merry Christmas ribbon from HL. Then, I cut the snowflakes from my cricut cartridge, Christmas Cheer. I added some Martha Stewart glitter to the snowflakes using her glue writing pen. If you don't have one of these, GET ONE! I love this pen! It's so easy to use on small embellies. The sentiment is a Basic Grey rub-on. Love those too! So, thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow!

Pink Christmas ???

Yes! It's the challenge this week at the Christmas All Year Round blog. We were asked to use pink and green, polka dots and 2 flowers on the card. I couldn't believe I had the perfect Christmas paper for this challenge! The patterned paper is all Paper Studio. The flowers are Greenhouse by American Crafts and the ribbon is some that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I ran the tree thru the Cuttlebug using the swirls embossing folder. I also used a Martha Stewart border punch around my greeting. This was fun! It's my first time to participate with Christmas All Year Round and I look forward to their next challenge. TFL!!
