A gift for my Grandma

Hey all. Is everyone ready for the BIG day on Saturday? I have one gift to exchange and one to buy. I have one that hasn't arrived yet which is slightly frustrating. The kids are so excited I am surprised they have made it this long.

It's Thursday which means NEW RELEASE DAY over at Meljen's Designs. Check out these fabulous images (which can be purchased along with the rest of Meljen's fabulous images, at the the Whimsy Stamps shop).

 Aren't those sweet. Today we are doing a little something different over at the Meljen's Designs DT blog. This week we are going to have a No-Challenge contest, which means we are offering you a chance to win some free images - without submitting a card. If you are interested in a chance to win 2 free images from Meljen's Designs, all you need to do is leave a comment HERE sharing your FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MEMORY. At the end of the week, we will draw 3 random winners to win 2 images each!

Also don't forget to grab this week's FREEBIE while you are there, and don't forget about the Dear Santa Letter freebie that you can also find at Whimsy Stamps!  Print it out so that your little ones can color it up and leave it for Santa on Friday night!

For my card this week I chose to use Mailed with Love. I decided to make a note card set for my Grandma for Christmas. I know she likes to send cards and letters to some far away family members so I thought she would enjoy a handmade set. Here is a sample of two of the cards. I chose to keep them simple since she will be mailing them.

Challenges:
Totally Gorjuss - For Someone Special
ABC Challenge - Keep it Simple
Fab N Funky - Quick & Easy

A yummy card for you

Hey there, sorry this is a day late. I took yesterday off to volunteer in Wyatt's Kindergarten class for his Christmas party. Man was that fun, Twenty-two 5 year olds running around with a massive sugar high. LOL. They got to frost their own sugar cookies and then make sugar cone Christmas trees. Last they got to open their stockings that they had made and filled earlier in the week. It was a great party.

Well yesterday was NEW RELEASE DAY over at Meljen's Designs. Man they are fantastic. Check out these fabulous images (which can be purchased along with the rest of Meljen's fabulous images, at the the Whimsy Stamps shop).

For my card this week I chose to use three of the images from the release, Bundled Little Snowboy, Cozy Little Chickadees, and Gingerbread House. I found this awesome paper in my stash and knew that it would fit the images perfect.

Jingle Bells

Oh my aren't those just  fabulous. I just about fell out of my seat when I saw this release. As always, with the new release comes a new CHALLENGE. Yay. This week's challenge is RED, GREEN, and GOLD.

My card for this release is made using "Jingle Bell". I knew everyone would be using the fantastic Reindeer so I thought I would change it up and show this little guy some love. I colored the bell with Bic Mark-its and a gold Stardust glitter pen. The cardstock is from the Core'dinations Gemstone line, and the design paper is a mix of scraps and the new DCWV Christmas Stack. I topped it off with some shiny ribbon.

My card for you today is not from this week's release but from last week's. I just love the "Christmas Cocoa" image and I had so much fin finding the right paper and embellies to go along with it. I used some papers from the new DCWV Christmas Stack and I used some flowers and a pearl from my stash. The sentiment is a rub-on from Joanne's dollar bin.

Challenges:
Totally Stampalicious - Anything Goes
A Crafty Little Place - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown - Embellish it
