Dear Friends, Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, a day celebrating the birth of our Savior! Hope you get to spend it with Family and or Friends!!

It's time for team B's Challenge this week. The theme for this weeks
challenge is Family Christmas

Our generous Sponsor is Stamping Boutique and I have used their Birds and Stockings Image.

Doesnt this cute little image make you think of family all hanging out together!!

After coloring I added some background and plenty of sparkle on the stocking

cuffs and the ground around the poles. After cutting out I used some

SU Kraft to mat it on. The pretty sparkly dp is from my friend Martha.

Matted the MFP sentiment on a darker brown and added to star

button for a bit of a homespun look.
Lots of pretty inspiration from my teammates this week so stop

over and join our challenge this week.

Today at Friends of Speedy TV we are challenging you to

use Blue & Silver.

Get you mojo stirring and come join the fun. I needed a few more Christmas Cards

so I have two simple ones to share with you today. I tell you I took a bucket load

of photos and just couldnt get the silver to show up right and the

blues look totally different in person, better that is! Oh well you will

get the general idea!! The Snowflake and Joy

were embossed with silver. The image is from the Snowflake Set 2014 and

Joy from the Presents Set. The dark blue is stitched in silver and a silver ribbon

added. How about that embossed border, I love it!!

. My sweet friend Martha sent

me a Huge box full of all kinds of paper and papercrafting goodies for

my birthday, and this was one of the folders!

The second card uses the Poinsettia from the Poinsettia Blooms Set

stamped twice on vellum, embossed with silver and cut out. I then colored

the poinsettias blue which doesnt show! The layers are foam dotted onto the

Spellbinder cut base. The dp is edged with silver Stickles.

Merry Christmas from the same set is embossed also.

Be sure to stop by and see all the lovely creations my teams have made!!
