Moxie Fab Old Country

I love vintage so I was super excited to use some of my V-stash for the latest challenge on Moxie Fab World.  Cath posted some super images featuring Christmas in the Old Country to serve as inspiration for our projects. On this card I used paper music paper purchased at the Paris Flea Market here in Colorado. The darling cherub is from a vintage store at the Stamp Exo in Colorado Springs.  I love all of the labels from Spellbinders - on this card I used the fabulous Labels 5 for the sentiment tag.  Other embellishments are from K&Company.

I will be spending quite a bit of time on projects over the next few days but right now we are just about to do some Holiday decorations around the house - taking advantage of the glorious weather we are experiencing for this time of year.

Hope your day is a good one!

JustRite & RAK Winner

I was so excited to play with JustRite stamps this week - they are sponsoring 2 Sketches 4 You - because they have totally inspired me to get started with my Holiday cards....I reeeaallly want to get them out the first week in December which I know may be major wishful thinking on my part. We are also home this week for Thanksgiving. If you are one of the 34 million travelers be safe and enjoy this amazing time with your loved ones.

.

Random.org picked lucky number 13 as the winner of my RAK. Congrats to: Connie, who had this to say:

If  you are out and about pick up a copy or two of the special issues that Scrapbook Trends has out. They are jam packed with gorgeous creations and super inspiration for the upcoming card making events in your life...(I have not started yet..have you?).  I have a set of cards in each one of these and would love to give away an issue of Holidays to a reader on my blog.  Stop on by and say hello.  I will randomly select a winner on Sunday :)

Have a great week

BBTB is too Tweet :)

Once again it was great to work with my Expression to design a card for Bitten by the Bug.  This week the whole DT worked with this darling little bird cut from the Story Book Cartridge.  I kept it very simple just layering paper and ribbon on a clear acrylic base.  Everyone else did such a gorgeous job with this design  (om-goodness this cut can be used for a 100 different occasions) - take a peek at what they did at BBTB.

.

I am playing catch up over the next two weeks.  I am predicting a very busy Holiday season so I need to try and stay on top of things..hopefully I can get my Christmas cards made AND some teacher goodies too - Okay that might be seriously wishful thinking but I will try - stranger things have happened...

Have a great rest of your week

I decided to make super easy  truffles because they are reeeeaally good and easy to make.

Simply Sensational Truffles

By Bakers

Ingredients:

2.5 (20 squares) Bakers semi-sweet chocolates

1 pkg (8 oz) Philadelphia Cream Cheese

Chopped Nuts for Decoration

Melt 8 chocolate squares. Beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy.  Blend in melted chocolate.  Refrigerate until firm.  Shape 36 balls (make them smaller because this is a super rich desert). Place on wax paper covered baking sheet.  Melt remaining chocolate.  Use fork to dip truffles; return to baking sheet. Decorate with nuts and refrigerate 1 hour.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog.  For more details on this gorgeously cute Holiday Treats Apron Recipe Album kit take a look here: CC&M .  Now I am sure you are ready to see what Rachel Hope Baird has made and remember if you get lost along the way you can always catch up with all the designers at Die Cut Diva.

Halloween Pictures to share...

Halloween this year was picture perfect in Colorado.  There was plenty of snow on the ground yet the evening was chilly but not cold.  Everyone in our friend's neighborhood did such a wonderful job decorating and of course it was so delightful to see little ones dashing from door to door getting their treats as the sun was setting over the Rockies in the distance.  Ashton was a Cattleheart Butterfly and Alex was a Fairy Princess. Our friends dressed their little ones as the adorable Bo Peep with her Lambie (she was way to cute to be a Sheep!).

.

Thank you everyone for all my B/day wishes both here and on facebook.  I had a awesome day - and am still celebrating ;)  Your sweet & thoughtful wishes made my day even more special.
