Revamp Time

Once again, I've neglected my poor little blog. I just can't seem to keep up. At all! Sooooo, I've decided that maybe what it needs is a revamp. New background, new title, new everything. I managed to get the background changed and I'm working on the title (definitely needs to be changed). Any ideas? I'm stumped!

But, in the midst of all of this change a friend (thanks Kimmie!) reminded me to post my project for the Moxie Fab Blog Decor To Make the Season Bright challenge. I just completed this for a DT assignment for RSC E-zine. I used the Cosmo Cricket Mitten Weather mini-deck to complete this altered project. I've had these wooden Christmas trees from Trio by Plaid for years. I finally came across this bin while cleaning out the other day and decided to pull this for a future project. Little did I know I'd be using it so soon.

Without further ado here it is. Hope you like it!

Sketchy Thursday - 1.28

Another great sketch at Sketchy Thursdays. At this rate I'll at least get 1 LO done every week. LOL

I love the variety and I'm taking the time to back and look at previous sketches. Maybe I'll get more than one done per week. Anyway, here's my LO for this week's sketch. Thanks again for great inspiration.

Since it's snowing outside and now they are predicting even more snow that originally thought (6-10 inches) looks like I might be able to get quite a bit done today.

Sketchy Thursday - 1.21

A friend of mine (thanks Kimmie) pointed me in the direction of Sketchy Thursday . It's a sketch site with great inspiration and challenges. I simply adore this week's sketch. So much so I had to do it right away. Thanks for a great challenge and sketch. Here's my take:

BoBunny Christmas Card Sketch

Well, it's been almost forever since my last post. Sometimes I get on a roll and I'm on here all the times and then I let it get away and as you can see it's been since the spring that I've posted. BoBunny has a great challenge right now. Make a card using the sketch on their blog for a chance to win some of their Tis The Season collection. Here's what I managed to come up with:

The cardstock is Bazzill, all patterned paper is BoBunny along with the wreath tag. Letters are from Making Memories and the ribbon is Sheer Creations from Michael's. The gems are a mix of Heidi Swapp and Me and My Big Ideas. The rub-on is unknown.

Winner! Winner!

OK, I'm so sorry I forgot to draw a winner. My only excuse is a sick child who has been running a fever practically non-stop since Friday. It finally broke last night and although she is feeling better this morning, she's still got a nasty cough. But, you really don't want to hear about that, so on to the winner!

The winner is:

Jess

"I have been trying to use my old stash on LOs. I have a hard time using large bits of my new paper so I tend to use older stuff for LOs."
