Little Bears Christmas - Kerst Christmas Challenge

Using Simply Crafty's Angled Treat Box and Little Bears Christmas from Last-Minute Manda.

New Challenge at Paper Ala Mode

Today there's a new challenge at Paper Ala Mode.  The theme is "Christmas."  Indeed!  The Dreamy Creamy collection is particularly special for Christmas.  

Just look at this elegant paper!  Fabulous it is!  It's always so much fun to add just a bit of color to this paper collection.

The garden of flowers are fussy cut and popped atop a box card from Simply Crafty.  Been saving this file for just such a challenge.  The sentiment is from the new Christmas Banners set.  Hope you go visit the Paper Ala Mode Challenge to see the festive makes by the Design Team - please come play along.  See you there!  By the way, there's only one more challenge for the year!

It's a Birthday!

Today I'm sharing a card showcasing a fun pop-up.  My hubby and his golfing buddy haven't been able to be on the course for over two years now - and they are finding it hard to get back in the groove.  For his partner's birthday, I thought a gag gift was in order to get some "home" practice - one of the infamous potty putters.  Of course, I had to include a themed card, don't ya think? 

The toilet was created by Sandy at Simply Crafty - this is her prototype and it fit perfectly as a centerfold pop-up - but can also be made to be a stand-alone card.  I'm sure Sandy will be adding the toilet to her store after completing the file for sharing...be on the lookout.  The sentiments are computer generated - the birthday sentiment popped as well.
