Christmas Wishes!

Ok ladies- broke out the Imagine machine today!!  Christmas card Challenges has another challenge this week and I thought I'd use my Imagine.  Here's the inspiration:

 

What a fun inspiration photo!  I decided to use the label like image from the Imagine and the Lori's Garden cart and the Christmas Wishes is from the Winter Frolic!  The Santa is from Simply Betty Line!  Head over to the Christmas Card Challenge Blog and check out what the girls are creating!!! It's uber awesome!  and....go check out the Simply Betty Stamps - Betty is on a journey no parent should have to face - go check it out and I'm sure you'll be inspired to play along!

Now - go get your Christmas "stuff" out and start those Christmas Cards - it'll be here before you know it!

I love TEDDY BO!  I don't use them too often - I'm not sure why not - I'm such a creature of habit!  I want to get some more of them - I have 3 I believe!  Anyway, I decided to participate in their challenge this week - Alter Something!  I was cleaning out a drawer after I saw the challenge (the checks, misc stuff) and was throwing out the old empty boxes (consolidating) and it hit me - this would make a great card/box for a gift!  So....I had this frame from my Imagine (which is collecting dust!) and took the box apart - covered it with designer paper and glued it back together - it's a great size for so many things and we all get those check boxes!  Hope this inspires you to give it a go!

He who has hope...

Well, I printed this guy a little while ago and kept forgetting about him - my friend on one of my design teams gave him to me....Well, I saw the challenge this week - I started following Sew Many Challenges.
This week's challenge is CIRCLES.  Well, I bought the nestabilities with the little scallops and thought - I have to use this!!!  So....I threw in some bits of this and that!  A little Cuttlebug and actually my heart is from my Imagine!  Man I gotta get that out again!  You can find my little mouse at Digital Sew Many Cards.  There are some really fun images!  Thanks Tanya for getting me hooked!  Anyway - have fun and get those circles out and join in!

#1 POP!

Well, I did and my kids do - we call/called our/their dad Pop!  So,...my kids are hockey players so I thought this would be fun for my son to give to his dad on father's day!  Very appropriate!  I used my Kenny K's image found here!  and used my cricut - man talk about back to the basics/oldies - I used my George and the Basics cart which I got with my first cricut - 3 years ago!  I used my Star punch from Creative Memories which I've probably have had 7 or 8 years!  and my Stampin up punch for the corner and a negative from an Imagine frame-it was kinda plain so I drug a stamp pad across it!  What a potpourri, eh?  Anyway- I love the way this guy came out!  I LOVE HOCKEY!!!  Thanks for popping in and go check Kenny and Elaine's digis out - they are awesome - remember they are here!

This is my "stitching it up" for Tiddlyinks!  I'm really enjoying the sewing of the cards!  I used to sew a lot but haven't for quite some time!  My 25 year old sewing machine died some time ago!  and...it just didn't seem too important!  I borrowed a machine from my buddy and have enjoyed having it!  I used lotsa layers and nesties, punches, handmade flowers and....my imagine!

Ok - my Cricut Imagine has been very lonely!  I've decided - I need to use it at least once a week!  So...I actually decided to participate in a couple of challenges with it!  My first card is the Cricut Imagination challenge - Easter!  It's pretty cool how simple it is to use - Now, I have the new Cricut Studio on line - I've downloaded it - I just need to get acquainted with it!  I'm a Design Studio Girl - I have the Gypsy I bot from a friend - I've yet to even turn it on!  Oh well!!  I'm such a creature of habit!  Anyway - I used the Nursery Tails and Freshly Picked for the sign!  Fun stuff!
