FINALLY, here is my card!  It's been one of those weeks and so if you visited my blog earlier, my card wasn't here.  Now hopefully I can get back on track in the next couple days.  Maybe get some Christmas decorations up, some Christmas and grocery shopping done.  For now, going to sit back with some hot cider  (spiked with Buttershots of course), some tunes and "blog hop" while it's sleeting and cold outside.

4CC Challenge #380 Monochrome

Good Afternoon!  

I'm sooo late with my post for today's challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks!   We were out of town over the weekend and first part of this week.  I still have my fall decorations up.  It's 18 days until Christmas and exactly two weeks before our kids come to visit! I have at least purchased a couple gifts but otherwise have done no shopping, including groceries.  If I weren't behind I wouldn't know how to function I think!  lol But, better late than never, right?

Leanne is our hostess this week
and she's chosen the theme ---

4CC #380 - Monochrome 

Let's see one color projects!

I needed a couple Hanukkah cards, so I decided to go all blue on this one.  

Stop by the Hen House and check out what my fellow Chickies have created and welcome our December Guest Designer, Karola too!  Then link up your one color cards and play along with us!

The colors and star were my inspiration for my card.

Crafty Chick Blessings!

Plaid Bounty of Thanks

Hello!  Happy Monday!

Now, I know it's December and I should be continuing in full swing of Christmas cards, but I skipped out sharing a Thanksgiving card I made so humor me. 

I used all Catherine Pooler stamps/dies except for the pumpkin, which is Reverse Confetti.  The inks are also Catherine Pooler inks, Spa Collection.  I just love that plaid background stamp!  <swoon>

I made this card to give to the parents of our son's girlfriend for Thanksgiving as a thank you for hosting our son for a week in their home for the holiday.  It was his first time meeting his girlfriend's father and extended family, having already met her mom and sister.  The card and the son were both a hit!  A mother's work is finally done!  hahaha 

Anyway, I never got a chance to post it and so now I am and I can even still enter it into the Time Out Challenge #97 Inspired By Words.

Thankful Blessings!

Visions of Sugarplums Holiday Hop 2017

Happy Sunday!

Paper Sweeties has been invited to participate in 

Lori Hairston's 

Visions of Sugarplums Holiday Hop today!

I spent an afternoon getting "felt" happy (playing with felt), cutting way too many things out of felt. I now have a small box of Christmas felt die cuts and I intend now to use every last one of them! LOL  If you saw my post yesterday you saw some of the results.  My cards today also feature some felt cut dies.
