Hugs

At "Besties" Challenge Blog this week they have asked for everyone who participates not to use patterned paper!

I racked my brains out trying to come up with something I could do without using it! The first thing that came to mind was to use Spellbinders Fancy Lattice! I just love that die! The image I used is one of Sherri Baldy's Besties! I just think she is such a sweetie! I love her long hair!
Anyway, Hugs, and happy crafting!
Sandy.

Favorite Things!

It's time for another Delightful Challenges card! Today's theme is, "favorite thing"!  I used a lot of my favorites on this card! First, I used the Caroling Petey and Polly digi! I just love them! I also used the Candy Cane Sign Post! I just got the Grand Calibur for my birthday so I used Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities, Grand Labels Four! I also used Spellbinders, Labels Twenty Three! I just got Memory Box, Frosty Borders! I am sure that will be well loved this time of the year! I can't live without my white gel pen! I seem to use it a lot! Oh, and I can't forget how much I LOVE my Copics! :)

I love my Poppy Stamp Inc, Small Blooming Poinsettia die! I can go on and on what is my favorite things to use, but I will just write the rest at the end!
Hugs to you, and happy crafting!

Black Friday

Here is a card that I made for all of you ladies who go out late Thursday night/early Friday morning on Black Friday! :)

Funky Christmas!

My good friend, and DT sister Raquel, asked us to make anything funky Christmas! You can ask anyone, I am more of the have to use traditional Christmas colors so this honestly was a little of a challenge for me!
