It's a CAMILICIOUS day!

I know... I haven't posted in like a month! It's been an over-the-TOP crazy life lately. But, what better reason to jump back into bloggin then a special celebration!

Today is CAMI's birthday!

woooHOOOO!

Cami spreads her zest for life and gift of creativity just like fairy dust

so this card was totally fitting for her!

Happy Birthday my dear, sweet, pinkalicious friend!

Holiday Cheer

Tis the season for parties and visits to friends and families. Tis also the season of crazy busy-ness, so coming up with a hostess gift can be challenging. I found some wine bottle size organza bags at Michaels and thought to myself "hey... this could work!" :o)

I created a tag and card to go with each bottle using Cheers and Merry Wishes for the card and Reindeer Kisses and Merry Wishes for the tag. All sets are from Our Craft Lounge.

The paper (Cosmo Cricket) gave just that hint of holiday!

A little shading with Copic markers, a little bling & sparkle and quick, easy hostess gifts are done!

I hope your holidays are stress free!

Kissing frogs and a Congrats!

Hello all! We've been on vacation for the past week and away from Internet service (relaxing in the northwoods - so very needed to distress before the holidays!) so I haven't had a chance to congratulate the winner of the Our Craft Lounge blog hop! Our fearless Design Team leader, Kendra was kind enough to contact the winner for me. Congratulations Cindy, you won the Hang it up Cupid set!

On to the card - this is one of my favorite creations from the OCL new release. It's the little frog from Fairy Dust is a Must!


I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving! My list of things to be thankful for was very long, and one of those items was YOU! Thank you for stopping by and all the wonderful comments. I truly appreciate it very much.

Ho Ho Ho

Yup... here comes Santa Claus! Isn't he just jolly! He's from the "Dear Santa" collection (Plum Purdy Designs).


Santa is colored with Copic markers and the puff on his hat and his beard are coated with Fun Flock. (You can click on the pics for a closer look)

The papers are My Minds Eye, and the tag is cut from a Ribbon Tags Trio die (Spellbinders).

On a side note... have you checked out the Birthday Party Challenges over at The Lounge! Fun stuff!!!
