Welcome to our WCMD Blog Hop, so glad you stopped by. Hopefully you just hopped over from Lisa's blog and have had the chance to witness all the incredible WCMD winners projects. Aren't they so talented! But wait there is plenty more to hop to from here- try to make it to all of them, you won't be disappointed!


So somehow I managed to win a spot in this amazing contest within the "Love" category, I was inspired by the Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar line and just let it flow, and my how God has blessed me since then. 
Here was my winning card:

Special thanks to PaperCrafts for such a wonderful opportunity and such a spectacular prize pack. So anyway, we wanted to give back a little and thanks to the incredible organizational skills of our fellow winner, Tifany, we put this little hop together for you all.


I have two new projects to share with you today, one is an all-occasion card created just for this hop and the other is an altered project made with items we received in our prize packs. So here is a shabby chic all occasion card suitable for any celebration, I call it Shabbily Celebrated:

 Materials Used: Jillibean Soup/Coredinations Cardstock base, Watermelon Gazpacho paper/Yellow Bell Pepper, Kraft tag, vintage patterned paper flowers; Scenic Route/text paper; Websters Pages/Ladies & Gents-Framed Beauty, Country Estate/Sentimental Journey; Pink Paislee stamps/Soiree (celebrate & burst); e. prima/gemstones; Ranger/Archival Ink-Coffee; Stampin Up ink/Sahara Sand; Want 2 Scrap/pearls; Fiskars/corner punch, scalloped decorative scissors and vintage metallic gold cord.

This next project I made as a Christmas gift for my in-laws. It is a photo cube altered with some of the lovely products we received in our prize boxes. It started out as this:

and then with some time and a lot of modge podge it transformed into this:

One of the sides of the box completed.

Moxie Fab Potpourri Challenge

I had been working on a card that seemed to fit perfectly into the Potpourri Challenge over on the Moxie Fab World Blog. Regardless here was the inspiration photo:

You could interpret it however you like, here is my interpretation:

I was inspired by the cute little chairs and the doily and incorporated those into my design, attempting a shabby chic effect.

Materials Used: Scenic Route & SEI papers; Close to my Heart Stamps/Chairs to You; EK Success/border punches; white satin ribbon; Tim Holtz/Distresser; Cats Eye/Fawn Brown Ink; Archival Ink/Coffee; American Crafts/White Card Base; Want 2 Scrap/green pearls

I found this stamp set half price by Close to My Heart at a Scrapbook Event in October, how cute is this chair? The whole set is adorable and called "Chairs to You." So there you have it a quick card post, very busy time of year here. Better get back to work on Christmas preparations! Hope all you elves out there are enjoying this season! It would be much nicer here in Ohio if we could please have some SNOW instead of RAIN! Yuck, it is not supposed to rain in December. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow......

Great news when I began this post on Thursday it was raining, today it is SNOWING! YAY! 

The kids and I did our annual Happy First Snow Dance!
