{card sharks} final round

I was very excited to learn I had made it into the final round of My Scrapbook Nook's Card Shark contest!  These are my final 2 cards.  The first is based on the card game, Birds and our challenge was to use at least one medium to large size bird on our card.
 
Celebrate Love
 
Our second challenge was based on the card game, Snap. We had to use 2 pattern papers, 2 embellishments and a 2 word sentiment.  I like the idea of this card, but I just couldn't get it to where I wanted it. 
 
BRRRthday Wishes
 
Public voting on the 3 finalist's cards starts sometime on the 18th at the Nook Blog.  
 
Happy Sunday, friends!  I hope happy finds you today!

{banner} christmas (comments closed)

I found this cute felt garland at Michael's for $1.  I'm a sucker for a simple shape and traditional Christmas colors.  I added a few little bits and pieces and my favorite SRM 
stickers and I love the how it turned out.  I have one (undecorated) to giveaway, along with a sheet of SRM Christmas stickers, to one lucky reader!  Just leave me a comment before 2:00 pm EST, Friday, December 16th. 

Tis the Season

I have it hanging on the door of my scrap room and it makes me smile.

(advent) nook event (comments closed)

Christmas comes with a whole lot of traditions.  The tree, the cookies, the family get togethers.  Doing some sort of Advent Calendar to countdown to Christmas is something Ive done with the boys since they were little.  The last 2 years Brian and I have done a Lego Advent Calendar.   This year the creative girls at My Scrapbook Nook are doing a countdown to Christmas by having 25 of us make a card/tag.  Each is featured on the Nook blog.  My day is today, December 12th.  This tag features old & new, sparkle & distress and ribbon & lace.  I'm loving the big sparkly snowflakes!

12
Papers: MME and Graphic 45, CB Snowflake: EP, Lace: May Arts, Sentiment: SRM Stickers, Sparkly Snowflake: Target, Distress Ink: Ranger, Other: machine stitching, vintage velvet ribbon, twine, bingo marker

An Advent Calendar wouldn't be complete without a small gift, so I'm offering up some of my favorite things, SRM Stickers!  Just leave me a comment before midnight EST, Wednesday, December 14th.  The Nook is giving away a grand prize to one lucky person!  Check out the lovely Leah's blog for a chance to win a 3month subscription (Jan-Mar) to My Scrapbook Nook Kits! 

As always, I hope happy finds you in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season!
