Pals Paper Arts (PPA18)

Come Play @ PPA today!

• This week's challenge is a K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Sweetie)

What exactly is a K.I.S.S creation?

One that is clean with lots of 'white' space, simple in design, takes a short amount of time to create, and has limited layers & embellishments.  I categorize these cards as Kwik & Kool on my website.

• Upload to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009 (Noon CST)
• If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA18 in the keyword section

For my K.I.S.S. submission I created small favors for my Thanksgiving table.  These were created using the Two Tags die, Trendy Trees & Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets and Fresh Favorites I buttons.

 

Inside each Autumn Meadows wrapped treat is an Andes mint, perfect for after dinner.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family & friends.  This year is a special one for me as I host my family at our home.  My Mom is venturing out today to come enjoy the big meal and of course, my Step-Dad, my Dad, Brother, Sister-in-Law and their 3 kids will be right here too.

I am extremely grateful to have my family all in one spot this year.

Please play with the PPA over the long weekend.  We can't wait to see what you come up with for the K.I.S.S challenge!

Grateful for Good News

I am ever so grateful for good news ... especially when it's about my Mom.

Yesterday, she went in for her routine follow up with her oncologist.  She left with the news that her liver count is down (although still high), she gets a break from chemotherapy, and her abdominal swelling WILL go down!

This is all great news that couldn't have come at a better time for her.  It's the perfect "break" she needed and deserves.

I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving and are grateful for whats in your life.

TOMORROW:  Pals Paper Arts will have another challenge available.  We hope you'll come play with us over the long weekend.  Be sure to check back here for my design team submission.

Holiday Home Decor

Some pretty ornaments I created using my Country Living Holiday Kit

These ornaments are rather large, so I'll most likely use them for decorations around our home.  It was so fun to work with the chipboard and coordinating die cuts in this kit.

Even after creating all of these you see here, I have a TON of chipboard and designer paper to work with.  I am SO happy I bought myself one of these kits.

Such an easy way to "pretty up" the house for the holidays.

Pals Paper Arts (PPA17)

Come Play @ PPA today!

• Use the sketch below, created by Margaret Moody
  
• Upload to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, November 24 (Noon CST)
• If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA in the keyword section

You'll notice that I flipped the sketch on it's side for my creation.  I also substituted square images for round ones.

Using the Love Me designer paper (currently found on the clearance rack for only $3.99) I created a non-traditional holiday card.  I have been dying to use this color combination for weeks now and I am so happy I finally got the chance to try it out.

I'm sure you'll see it around here again before the holidays are over.  I envision using the hostess level 1 set, Patterned Pines with this color combo.

Picture these pines in yummy colors such as Pretty in Pink, Taken with Teal, and Close to Cocoa.  Oh, I can't wait!  I've already made a card with these trees in Basic Black, if you missed it, check it out here.

On my PPA submission I used the set called Sweet Season and omitted parts of an image using my Stampin' Write markers.  The result ... 3 adorable holiday houses.

LOVE IT!

iBreak

I've experienced a whirlwind of emotions over the last month.  Honestly, I haven't really had time to process any of them.    

While my Mom fights the cancer that invades her body, my Dad prepares for deployment to Iraq, I attempt to perform well at my full-time job, try to be a good Mommy and wife, frantically try to keep this blog up-to-date ...

Whew!  I decided to finally breathe and take a break from worry.  At least for a few moments ...

Last night (tonight as I type) I had full intentions of stamping another project to show off here for you today.  But iTunes got in the way and reminded me that sometimes I just need to sit still and "enjoy the silence" or ... should I say the music?

For fun, here's what is on my playlist that is making me happy this very moment.

• NEW John Mayer!! (Battle Studies - Deluxe Version)
• The Veronicas
  
• Kris Allen
  
• Dave Matthews (all 77 songs in my iTunes library)
  
• Sara Bareilles
  
• The Shins
• Iron & Wine

I hope to get my stamping mojo back and begin posting creations regularly soon.  But for now, for today, I'm taking a much needed iBreak for me.

So, what's on YOUR playlist?  What music makes YOU happy?

Come back tomorrow to see my Pals Paper Arts submission.  Check out our Paper Artist Picks every Wednesday and play in our challenges every Thursday!

To the left is a sneak peek of my submission!
