~Preparing for Christmas...Crafty Style~

Good morning my amazingly talented friends.

I am prepping for a couple of amazing blog hops coming up.

One is the Samantha Walker Blog Hop coming up on the 8th

Now this is NOT the project...but it's a wonderful *clue*

it goes hand in hand with the project!

I even have a step by step video to go along with it,

I am so excited about the blog hop so stay tuned!

These are 100% Samantha Walker's beautiful Christmas paper

and embellishments. I love this line!!!!! It reminds me

of vintage, Christmas, love and happiness too.

Of course i used my Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive and Glue

Glider Pro for making the cards.

I am hoping to have a diverse selection of Christmas cards

made by December 10th...we will see how many happen though LOL

Just a couple of notes for upcoming events...

December 1st is the new Imaginisce Sketch Challenge

and the monthly BLOG HOP! :)

December 6th I will have a special blog post on Imaginisce!

December 8th will be the Samantha Walker blog hop

and I think it is her FIRST one with the Creative Team♥

Busy and beautiful month ahead.

~Thank you for stopping by and being my amazing support~

~Have a wonderful Monday~

~Happy Dance!!! It's the first! Let the reveals begin....*GIVEAWAY too!*~

GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!! I am so excited

I always am on the first of the month.

I have SO MUCH to share this week, but let's just begin with

one project and one new sketch.

Imaginisce has a monthly sketch challenge

every month on the first.

And this is my take on the sketch.

You can play along and WIN! Believe me you want to play

along because you will win big!

On this layout I used the fabric tape form Love My Tapes,

my Cricut Expression and the Accent Essentials cartridge,

the Cottage Christmas line from Imaginisce,

the i-rock for the bling on the snowflakes, the i-top

for the flowers and buttons in the middle.

Of course my Helmar V-2 for the glitter on the 3 middle frames.

I pretty much went crazy!

It's not my normal style but I had fun and I really like it!

So go play along with Imaginisce, they love

their fans and they are such a great company!

Now my friend Marci, she is so sweet and fun.

We met in Murfreesboro a couple weeks ago.

you might remember she won a contest from Purple Cows.

Well she brought me a LAMINATOR to give away on my blog!

WOOT WOOT!

Now I have not found this Laminator UNDER 60.00!

So it's a great giveaway!
