*YUMMY!*

A feast for your eyes (and belly)!  This being the final prompt for this year at Jingle Belles Rock is all about the treats!

found the inspiration on Pinterest and used all scrap paper!  The twine and sentiment stamp are from BellaCreationz!  The good news is that I cut three gingerbread men so I can make two more cards for my stash and the even better news is that this one makes 35 cards!!  

I am beyond happy that I have a stack of  beautiful handmade cards ready for mailing!  No staying up until mindnight/1am to get the cards finished!  Thank you Jingle Belles for an amazing year of creating!  Can't wait to start up again! :)

Poinsettias galore!

Mele Kalikimaka!!  Jingle Belles is going tropical!  Tropical greetings anyway!  This time around it's all about the blooms!!

Here in Florida, the Poinsettia is in it's ideal climate!  Our blooms last well into January!  We've actually planted our poinsettias and they've come back in December in full crimson glory!

These, however, are punched from red and green scraps using a Stampin Up five petal punch.  Background paper is from one of my best purchases from Tuesday Morning, Carta Bella warm and cozy.  Some *very old* thickers and some twine.....jute from May Arts Ribbon and multi from Timeless Twine by Bella Creationz!

*WARNING* Creatures stirring!

Coming into the home stretch at Jingle Belles Rock!  Tomorrow is November 1st and I'm really pleased with the pile of cards accumulated over the past few months!  The current challenge is for animals!  

I've made two cards this time......one is almost too easy to post, but they all go into the mix so here are both!

Patterned papers are from Carta Bella Warm and Cozy.  Stamps are from Unity Stamp Co.  Twine from May Arts.

Like I said this one is *almost* too easy to count, but in the card stash it goes!  This one makes #33!  Recycled Christmas card backed by black cardstock and Christmas scrap paper!

Going *pink* - part two!

Since it's for a good cause and all......I made a second card for Jingle Belles Rock!

Is it bad that I have enough pink washi tape that I didn't have to re-use any one of them for this cute tree?!?!  Paper from Ms. Sparkle and Co. (Joann's), sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. and several different brands and sizes and patterns of washi tape!   

Going *pink* for Breast Cancer Awareness!

Since this is my first time around with Jingle Belles Rock, I was unaware that this is a yearly tradition!  The first challenge in October is always PINK!

For each card posted, the administrators have pledged to donate $2 each (there are two of them) to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!  So super awesome!!

This is my entry for this challenge.....it is not quite as pink as I had hoped, so maybe I'll get another one made before days end! :)

Paper used is from Ms. Sparkle and Co. (Joann's), the stripe is from stash.  I stamped Holiday Joy Christmas Tree (Unity Stamp Co.) on watercolor paper.  Ribbon is from stash and pink/brown twine is from Timeless Twine (timeless twine).

Let it Snow!

The latest challenge at Jingle Belles Rock is all about the white stuff......*SNOW*

Since hubby is out of town, I've managed two cards today!  While both are lifted from Pinterest, they aren't *exactly* the same!  The first one uses an image from a company no longer in business.....MelJen Designs.  I fussy cut the adorable snowman after I gave him a little color.   Embossed the background and then brushed over it with some distress ink.  The patterned paper came from Echo Park ~ Jack and Jill.  Punched a few snowflakes, added some pearls and a sentiment (Unity Stamp Co.) and viola!

The second one is also lifted from Pinterest, but I didn't pull out the sewing machine to stitch the edges....used a marker to get the same effect!  The plaid paper also came from Echo Park ~ Jack and Jill.  The blue solid is from my stash.  The stamp used is from Unity Stamp Co. (which appears to may be no longer available). 

Peace on Earth

Peace on Earth is such a nice thought!  That's the current challenge at Jingle Belles Rock!

At first I was worried it was a little too "dark" for a Christmas card, but it's got snowflakes and sparkles, what more could you want?!?  I used paper from Carta Bella (Warm and Cozy), twine from Timeless Twine (Bella Creationz) and sentiment from Tim Holtz.
