Blog Award Time

I feel so honored to have received my first blog award! I have been posting away the week or so and I have really enjoyed making my Christmas cards and entering them in challenges! So, I want to thank Kristi at Kristi's Paper Creations for taking the time to honor me with an award! She is very talented and is sharing some beautifuil Christmas cards! Head over and check them out!

In order to accept this award, I have to answer 3 questions:

Share three unknown things about myself:

1. I don't like horror movies at all!
2. I recently began drinking Classic Coke... This is a BAD thing! lol!
3. When we have kids, I want a girl mainly for the clothes and scrapbooking. I fear that I wont be able to have the same enjoyment scrapbooking for a boy... Masculine stuff is soooo hard to find! Really!
I also have to pass this award onto 5 bloggers: Here they are in no particular order:
 
1. Angi @ Cokie Pop Paper Boutique
2. Beth @ Runs With Scraps
3. Kristina @ Kristina's World
4. Regan @ Emora Designs
5. Jennie @ The Kammerer Family
 
#1-4 are excellent scrappers and have some wonderful creations on their blogs and #5 is my cousin who updates her blog with some super cute pictures of my little cousin!
 
Hope everyone is having a fantastic monday!
 
Enjoy,
Catherine

Get Sketchy #68: Warning more Echo Park...

It's time again, for another Christmas card! I have to stop making these! But they are so addicting! I bought some Making Memories paper this morning at Target... Oops... But I am hoping to create a banner for Christmas!

Get Sketchy posted their new sketch and I just had to use it!

Here is the sketch!

Here is my card!

I like it, very monochromatic and kid like with the cute little santa and the pop of green in the sentiment! I chalked everything using my "Rouge" cat eye!

Enjoy!

Cardabilities

I am getting so close to having my cards finished. I probably need about 3 more! I found a great sketch from Cardabilities and thought I could use my Celebrate with Floruish and Storybook Cartridges! I think it turned out cute!

Here is the sketch!

Here is my card!

I like that I could use the patterned paper for the sentiment, and I didn't need to stamp or cut out any letters! Once again, loving my Echo Park paper pack! Have a wonderful sunday!

Enjoy!

Mojo Monday #168

This is the first week of the month and Mojo Monday is doing their monthly contest. I really enjoy using their sketches, although most times I don't link up my sketch in time. But I just had to do this one!

Here is the sketch...

Here is my card!

Kind of non-traditional colors. I used Basic Grey's Jovial line which has some excellent prints like these ornaments! I matted both of the patterned papers with some good ol' Bazzill and the American Crafts ribbon is perfect! I have used it several times for my Christmas cards! :D
Enjoy!

Get Sketchy #67

Happy Friday to all!

First up, is a great sketch from Get Sketchy!

Here is my take on the sketch, once again... I am using my Echo Park paper! I am so glad that I found this line! It is excellent! The colors are so bright and cheery!

I love it. The lime green just pops! What do you think? I also used my banner punch to create my lil' trees! And can't forget the pop dots that I used to add some dimension!
