Floral Finesse For someone Special

Can you believe that it is already Dec. 4th and Flourishes Pre-release challenge?
Its all about floral finesse this challenge, I have the details below and over on the newsletter you can find the info as well. Lets just say that with my sisters wedding next weekend and family in town I was a little late in getting this card in for the Pre-Challenge. LOL But the girls love me anyways I hope. :0)
I went with the yellowish and greenish browns that are the color of my grass and flower beds right now. I am in winter weather all right, the only thing we need is the snow on the ground. Bbbrrrr.... I used Many sentiments and Damask for this card. I added some Pearls and a Gold finishing touches ribbon slider to finish it off. Check out what the girls did for the challenge:

Here are the details for the challenge:
Join us for our release challenge as we play up some floral finesse! This challenge is all about the colors we love in our gardens. The thermometer might say winter, but this one is all about those feel good floral feelings.
The challenge: use your favorite flower as the inspiration for your card/project's color scheme. Maybe you choose dusty pink and sage because it reminds you of the tea roses in your garden. Or, maybe you choose golden shades with hints of brown to remind you of the sunflowers you love in the field nearby! You choose! Just let us know what flower inspired your creation!
The Details: Keyword will be FLLCDEC on Splitcoast and contest runs up until December 11th at 5 PM Eastern in order to be in the running to win all three of our new releases for December!
Hope you get to play along with us! Have a great day.

Happy Mail came my way

Look what I got in the mail yesterday. This adorable snowman card and stamp is from my good friend Julie. This card was so adorable on her blog and then I get it in the mail, how lucky am I? She also sent me this darling mouse stamp. I had to ink it up right away. So I made this little pizza box that I put some hershey kisses in. Thank you again Julie, I LOVE it!
See you back here on Friday for Flourishes Pre-release challenge. You won't want to miss it! Have a great day.

Go Drew... Go Drew...

**2nd post today**
Big game tonight... Saints vs Patriots. Now you know who I am cheering for! Hoping the Saints can get to 11-0 just like my Colts. hee hee I got this darling Magnolia (pretty sure Magnolia) image from my good friend Billie aka Myboys on SCS. I dressed him up a tad bit in the Saints colors for Angel and hand drew the logo for the Saints on his jacket! Good luck tonight Angel!!!!
Hope you have a great day.

Last day of Sneak peeks

Today is last day of Sneak Peeks for Clear Dollar Stamps Dec. release. I sure hope you have enjoyed the sneaks. Remember all sets are available Dec.1st. First off we have the Stamp of the Month for you Critter Log. If you spend $30 or more you get this SOM set free for the Month of Dec. I shaped my card like a log, or tried to for something fun. The boys liked it. This bunny is so sweet.
Next up we have The Cross and Petite Cross. I thought I would use my photo punch a little more lately and added a few to the corners of the bottom panel.

Sneaks Day 3

I don't know about you but I am now sick of turkey. lol Oh boy... Well here we have the Prayer card and petite cross. This little list is awesome and a very creative idea. I made a few of these little prayer cards and attatched them with ribbon. I have titled them family, friends, SCS friends, Military etc. A great way to keep track of changes and answered prayers I think.
Below is the adorable Ladybug flower and sentiment Don't let it bug you. I had circles on the mind when I made this card. hee hee
All these cards fit perfectly into my little gift box that I made. Another little gift set done and ready to give away.

The girls have some fabulous samples for you to check out:

CDS Sneaks Day 2, Jesus ROCKS...

Totally love this sentiment don't you? This goes so well with the Rock on set from last month, you gotta love it. This is Jesus Rocks. I love the font that was used for this stamp also. way cool.... I wrapped some candy bars with some guitar paper I found at big lots a few months back. The boys will be giving one of these to each of their class mates this Christmas. The kids will love them, the parents won't like the huge chocolate bar, but oh well. haha
Below I took one of the Clear Boxes and cut it in half so I could make this little gift bag. On the front I used Chubby Chickadee and sentiment What a tweet.
