A cozy cup sleeve!!

Well, there was no work this morning, common after a pay period cut off - so I took full advantage and decided to spend the morning at my craft desk - finishing up some Christmas cards and getting odds and ends done before we leave for the weekend.  I had seen this little tutorial over at Splitcoast Stampers and I was dying to give it a whirl.  It's a gift for a friend of mine who always joins me at the freezing cold ice rink to chat with me while my little guy plays hockey!!   I wanted one for me too...so I actually made two!! :)  Here is the tutorial in case you are wanting to make one for yourself.....

And here is MY version:

Hard to see in the picture - but there are sparkles (Ranger stickles)  and "snow" (liquid applique) on the trees.  This stuff actually puffs up to give it a little dimension.  :)  I sponged the back ground with my Memento inks - Desert Sand and Summer Sky.  The cardstock is sewn to felt for stability - it really is cozy!! :)
Thanks for stopping by....come again soon!! :)

Allsorts Challenge Blog....

Another new challenge blog spotted this week - Allsorts Challenges!!  This week's theme (last minute Christmas projects) cracked me up as I am soooo far behind.  I am scrambling to make Christmas Cards this week while trying to work and look after the usual stuff around here.  Why am I so late??? Wasn't THIS the year I was going to be soooo organized??? How did we go from the beginning of November to 12 days left!!! Sheesh!!! Anyway...here's my card for the Allsorts challenge!! Once again - thanks for stopping by!! More to come soon!! :)

Spoonful Of Sugar....

Found a new challenge blog this week.....A Spoonful of Sugar!  This week the challenge was to make a Christmas Card.  I thought I'd take part ....pretty easy to fulfil this one ...this time of year!!! :)

Here's my card (which I might add I shamelessly cased from the Splitcoast Gallery - the site is down but I promise to give credit when I can get on!!)
Thanks for stopping by!! ....Lisa :)
