Making up for lost time...

I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since my last post! I've had to take care of certain obstacles in life and hopefully things will settle down soon. I was going to take the entire month off, but making cards (along with fervent prayers) has always been therapeutic so I hope it will save my sanity.

It was time to say farewell to Susana's Custom Art and Card Designs. I had a wonderful 6 months designing for Susana and working along side her equally wonderful DT!

****************************

I went "challenge crazy" for both of my cards today and it took me most of the day to finish. Maybe a little rusty after not making any cards the last two weeks???

Paper Garden Projects will be hosting another blog hop Dec. 19 so make sure to take part in it to see the DT projects and for a chance at some candy!

PGP just got in new, super adorable winter images from Eat Cake Graphics and I was happy to be able to play with the Let's Go Sledding set. Here's my card using this week's Friday Sketchers Sketch 82, Basic Grey Week 10 Colour Combo 3 (cream, pink and blue) and Whiff of Joy Challenge #58 (Sparkle!):

I finally got the chance to create with the new Flower Soft Display Globes and I was a little intimidated at first, but once I finished it I wanted to make more! Here's my card using the MOJO117 sketch and OCCC's Holiday Theme challenge (my apologies for the glare from my lamp in the photos):

I love the sentiment from the His Gift set and naturally, I had to use Flower Soft Polar White to make it "snow" in my globe.

Don't you just love the dimension of the globe?! You need to also check out some new Memory Box papers...gorgeous!!

I used my Spellbinders Oval dies to nestle the globe onto to accommodate the size of my card, but ODBD carries the Flower Soft Oval Aperture Cards and Envelopes to help make creating with the display globes quick and painless!
