Hello Everyone!!

Merry Christmas! I hope you all are enjoying the company of family and friends on such a great time of the year :) 

Since I have been missing in action all week.....I thought I'd do a little bit of a overload for this post.  My mother-in-law is here from Canada for the holidays and work has just been simply crazy! Oh, and my parents and sister will be here in 4 days!!! CRAZY BUSY! LOL

ANYways.....This week is Scrappy Mom's Sneak Peak! They have a fantastic new Designer Choice Stamp Set!

I've created 3 simple, easy to make cards....here they are!

Hope you guys enjoy it and have a great holiday weekend!

Quilling Blog Hop & Christmas Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone!!!

I'm sorry for a few of those who have stopped by and have missed my post but I've been CRAZY busy with work and my mother in law is visiting so its been a bit hectic!

Anywho, I was honored to be asked to be part of not 1 but 2 blog hops today!!

Linda from My Quilling Nest

and

Cristina from Crafting with Cristina

Lets start with the Quilling blog hop!!

If your joining from Leesandra, then your in the right place, if not head over to Linda's blog to start at the beginning!

I was so siked to be part of this hop because I've never used quilling piece but think that they are absolutely fabulous!!!

So I was feeling scenic for my card and LOVE Christmas so this is what I created....

I just couldn't help myself because these presents were just PERFECT!! I feel like the card is missing something but couldn't put my finger on it but I'm super happy with it!!!

Be sure to head on over to Cristina from Card Creations by C for her fantastic projects!

ON TO THE HOMEMADE BLOG HOP!

If you've arrived here from Lauren D's blog, your in the right spot!! If not, then head back to our host Cristina's Blog. 

So for this blog, I thought I'd show you the card that I've been slaving over to be sent from Jesse and I for Christmas.  Now i know, pink is not a traditional Xmas color BUT I found the patterned paper back in August and really liked it and The Paper Company just happened to have a pack that matched Perfectly!!!! So i ran with it! I hope you guys like it!

Welcome to the Snowy Winter Blog Hop!! If your hopping over from Carri at doubleclickconnections then you are in the right place if not hop on over to Dorcas' Blog and get started from the beginning. Remember to leave a comment on every stop along the way to win some amazing candy!!!

So, I thought I would show you all what I will be working on all weekend.  My mother had requested that I make her Christmas Cards way back in August! She likes to be very prepared and now that I have a job I'm WAY behind! LOL So this weekend, I'm 100%.......well maybe 75% dedicated to finishing these cards (I have to get some of my Christmas Shopping done today! LOL)

These 2 stamp sets are from Stampin' Up! and I love them both! The door gives a vintage vibe and takes forever to color in the image--which is why I'm dedicated to coloring this weekend. LOL

Want some Blog Candy?!?!? Just leave a comment on this post for a chance to win a $15 Michael's Gift Card.  Only ONE comment per person and you MUST leave a way for me to contact to you!

HAPPY SNOWY WINTER HOPPING :)
