{use your noodle}

I found the funnest challenge ever!  Check it out.  Eileen Hull is having a fun Noodle Challenge on her blog!  Seriously.  A noodle challenge.  :)  Check out her blog for the story behind this great challenge, it involves one of my favorite places to eat, Noodles & Co and the winner gets a $10 GC! 

I made 2 cards, because that's where my noodles took me.  *laugh*  I was very proud of myself, I didn't run out and buy any fancy noodles, although the thought did cross my mind, instead I used my noodle stash!

Noodle Card #1:  Peace

I soaked a mini farfalle noodle in some Glimmer Mist and then added just a touch of silver ink to the edges when it was dry.  Perfect for this dove's wing!

Noodle Card #2: Winter

I spray painted some elbows white, but at 25 degrees here in Michigan spray painting was a bit tricky!  I wanted them really white, but this is as good as it gets people.  *laugh*  I layered some light molding paste on the bottom of my card and stuck my noodles on it. Added a little glitter and called it swirly noodle snow!

Thanks for an outrageously fun challenge, Eileen!

This is my final card post for the Party Time Tuesday challenge blog.  I have had a terrific time working for Kristie and Di-both wonderful & talented gals!  I've loved seeing the cards my fellow DT members create each week.  And most of all, I've loved visiting the blogs of the card makers who take the time each week to make a birthday card!  Thank you one and all for a fabulous time!

The challenge is the ever popular "Anything Goes", just as long as it is a birthday card with a birthday sentiment on the front!  I cant wait to see what you all come up with!

Here's my card:


Some old Scenic Route paper (I miss them, don't you?) and a little Hambly with a giant felt snowflake I bought at Michaels last year.  I just found some pink ones I tucked away.  :)

Happy Tuesday, friends!

It is the day before the day before Christmas!  How does that happen?  Seriously. 2010, I hardly knew ya.

What a blur this year has been.  Christmas will be here in 2 days and I still have much to do.  But, I'm enjoying time spent laughing and playing with my boys.  We are going to bake cookies tonight.  And if I'm lucky, I might be able to talk them into a good game of UNO.  UNO is one of those games we can all play and enjoy.  Those kinds of games are hard to find when your oldest is 16 and your youngest is 7.  

I did find a little scrappy time today to finish my tag.  Let's see, 2 days till Christmas and 3 tags left.  Tomorrow will have to be a two-fer!  :)   But for now, I give you this.

Tinsel & Twig Tag #7: Merry Christmas

I hope you are enjoying your holiday festivities!  Thanks for stopping by!

Tinsel & Twig Tag #6: Wishing You Joy 



Sorry about the title repeat,  not sure what I was thinking.  ;)  I'm not sure how I feel about this tag.  It looks a little "thrown together" to me.  But I digress, it was.  *laugh*  I will try to make tomorrow's tag more worth your while!  :)  I hope you are enjoying the business of the holiday without being overwhelmed by it.

Happy Wednesday, friends and thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by!
