Simple Kraft Christmas

I thought it was about time I tried to complete one of my friend Tracy's Christmas Card Challenges. This month the challenge was a color one and I just could not resist the awesome colors she picked out. It also gave me the chance to break out one of my new Whiff of Joy stamps.

The colors were:

*Red(your choice of any shade)

*Kraft(or as close to if you do not own Kraft)

*Cream/Vanilla

*Chocolate

Here are all 5 cards together.

Friendship Pages

A little while ago Megan got to go to Kiddie Acres with her best friend Tatiana. They had loads of fun and Sandra, Tati's mom took some real nice pictures of the girls on the rides and stuff so I decided to make them into pages for their friendship books. Here they are:

I made two of each page so they could both have the same pictures in their books.

Gifts for Baby

Sorry I have been a little AWOL. It was my birthday this week and I have been a little naughty and haven't been crafting very much lately. My want to, up and went. However I made this about a week ago and didn't get around to showing you. So I thought I would pop on and let you have a look see.

A friend that my hubby works with had a little baby boy recently so I went through my classes I did with Heather a while ago and found this adorable card which I decided to case and I also made a little box and duplicated the same punch image to make them match. All I really changed on the card was the colors and the DP as I didn't have the same ones. I think it turned out really cute.

Colors are Soft Sky, Close to Cocoa, and River Rock. Thanks for looking.

Birthday Bag

Today is my wonderful Friend Sandra's Birthday. She is very proud to be turning 40. We met because our daughters became friends at school. It turns out our husbands work together also and they didn't realise that their daughters were talking about each other all the time. Sandra invited us over for a playdate one day last fall and we have been friends ever since. I wanted to make something special for her so I made her one of my denim bags. I chose red fabric as she is very fond of the color and has a lot of red accents in her home.

Happy Birthday Sandra!!!!!!!

Teacher Appreciation

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week at the kids school. I normally make the teacher a little something for them to take in and give to their teachers. I cheated a little bit this year with the gift as everything is shop bought. The pretty flower pots are from Michael's and I filled them with glass beads then I put pencils, cute post-it notes shaped like apples and a colorful little wind chime in them. The finishing touch was to tie ribbon around them.

The card I decided was something I just had to make and I chose to case my good friend Joani's flower pot card. Do you see a theme going on here. LOL. I found the instructions on how to make the pot on Splitcoast Stampers. The DP is from Stampin Up. The flowers are supposed to be sunflowers because they make me think of summer. They also remind me of the 7 foot ones we grew in our garden back in England.

Make And Take

In celebration of Scrapbooking Day I headed to Archivers for some retail therapy and of course to play with some of their toys. I got to make not one, not two but three make and takes this time around. I was one happy scrapper.

I got to play with metal and alcohol inks to make a cute thank you card and got some scrapbook inspiration from 2 awesome scrapbook pages. They make it look so easy. Kinda makes me wonder why I keep putting off my scrapbooking. when I got home I found the perfect pictures to put in my pages. What do you think? I think I am gonna mount them on 12 x 12 sheets and make a vow to continue to make more.
