The 12 Crafts of Christmas 2017 - Day One

Today begins my annual tradition of the 12 Crafts of Christmas.  I wanted to share them BEFORE Christmas as opposed to after this year.  I think that's a better idea, don't you?

This was created for a black and white only challenge.  Didn't it turn out awesome??

    STAMPtember - Day Thirty - Fabulous Finale

    I can't believe this is the last day of STAMPtember!!  It's such a magical time of the year, with sooooooooo many new and exclusive stamp releases.  Since it's the final day of one of my favorite months of the year, I wanted to share one of the most important cards I've ever made.  It's also one of my favorites--the wedding card for my brother and sister-in-law.


    I had SO MUCH fun making this, too.  The flowers--which were stamped, cut, inked and shaped--were my favorite part.


    But I have to say I had this card planned out in my head for months.  I bought these charms specifically for this card, knowing how I wanted to put it together.  A lot of my work forms itself as I put it together, but this sort of just was always going to be just like this.


    LOTS of challenges to round out the month:

    STAMPtember - Day Twenty-Two - You Gotta Have Friends!!

    Anyone who knows me--hell prolly anyone who visits my blog or even my Twitter page--knows that I love TV.  They also most likely know that my favorite show of all time is Friends.  From the first day I watched it, I was hooked.  Friends is the kind of show that makes me roar with laughter even when I've seen it 100 times.  Twenty-three (!!) years ago today, Friends premiered, so I wanted to make a card to celebrate that.

    STAMPtember - Day Eight - Cat's Meow

    Happy Friday folks!  WOOHOO!!  For me it means time to buy supplies to make more cards lol.  You? I had a blast making this card.  My favorite thing about it is that it's a Halloween card, but it doesn't HAVE to be a Halloween card.  I like versatility.

    STAMPtember - Day Four - Flower Girl

    I loooooove this stamp.  I love this stamp and I really love this card.  It just came together so weirdly cute, IMO.  I left a space so I can always add a sentiment but I kind of like it the way it is.  I think of this girl as needing some me time and taking a walk in a garden, picking flowers.
