Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #250 Rustic

 Mondays are made so much better with a new Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge!  Deanne has a wonderful challenge for us this week:  Create a Christmas card with a rustic feel!

 For my card, I started with some wood printed pattern paper.  The pine cones and bough die is one of my favorites from Gina Marie Designs.  The sled is a die from Memory Box and the sentiment is from My Favorite Things Joyous Christmas Sentiments stamps.

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Brew-tiful Day

 Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Café – so glad to see you!

Saturday’s are certainly brew-tiful days for me.  I get to sleep in a little and leisurely make my way into my day.   And to make it even better, I get to fully enjoy that first cup of coffee as opposed to gulping it in order to get out of the house to get to work in time!

 

For my card, I started with a fun yellow, polka dot pattern paper.  Then I colored images from a new STAMPlorations set – Best Mom Ever.  The minute I saw this set, I fell in love!   The fabulous sentiment, STAMPlorations Brewtiful Day Phrase Die, says it all!

 

Here’s hoping YOU have a brew-tiful Saturday, too!!

Let's Celebrate...YOU!

 When I was little, no birthday was complete without birthday hats!  My daughter and her friends never liked them - the chin elastic was bothersome.  I'd buy them anyway and fill them with treats because you just gotta have birthday hats for a birthday celebration (at least when you're little!)

 For my card, I started with a gold polka dot vellum and striped pattern paper.  I layered on Reverse Confetti Wonky Double Edge Scallop Border die cut and Mini Circle Garland Pretty Panel cut from gold cardstock and then added the hat using Party Hats stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts.  For the sentiment, I used one from the Circle Wishes stamp set and layered it on top of the small Lacy Scallop Circle Confetti Cuts.  The finishing touch:  pretty pink sequins!

 Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:

All good things come to an end...sadly, today is my last post as part of the Drive By Crafts Design Team :(  It's been really fun sharing my little creations with you -- I hope you've enjoyed seeing them!

 

 For my card, I used a new die from Paper Smooches - Pineapple 2 Die.  Isn't this just the cutest!!  My daughter, her best friend and I will be going to our "happy place" for a few days this summer for a girls' long weekend and I can't wait!  Hope our U.S. friends enjoy a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
