Eat, Drink, and Be Merry with GUS

This week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious is to have some food or drink on your card or project.  I chose to use Going to Town Gus from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo line for this challenge.  I went with a really clean and simple layout for this one.  I colored the image with my Sharpie markers - except the skin tone which is SU Blush Blossom.  I think this sentiment is perfect for Gus!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card!  
I hope you get a chance to play along in our Food or Drink challenge this week!

Blue Winter Bird Snowman Card for VSN

Happy Saturday Friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for one of the VSN (virtual stamp night) challenges going on at Splitcoast Stampers.  The theme of the challenge is to create a BLUE card and they want you to do it in 45 minutes or less.  I used the Winterbird Snowman stamp set from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo line for the image.  I kept the design really simple.  Isn't that DP GORGEOUS!!!  I LOVE this paper!!!  The scallop edge is the back of the blue background so it's one piece of DP.  To create the blue snowflakes I sponged white glittery snowflakes with blue ink.  I also sponged blue ink around the image to soften it up a bit.


Thanks for stopping by and checking out my BLUE Winter Bird Snowman card.  Now I have to go back to the scrapbook store to see if I can get some more of that gorgeous paper!  Have a GREAT weekend!!!!

Mini Muffin Tin Advent Calendar

Close up of the calendar

This past week was my Stampin Up card club's Christmas party.  Every year we have a gift exchange at the party.  This year I made this Advent Calendar.  The pictures are not the greatest.  I was very last minute putting this calendar together.  I made it on Wednesday night and the party was on Thursday night.

The little squares are attached to a mini muffin pan with magnets.  Behind each square is a treat (Dove Peppermint Chocolate).  After I took this picture, my Husband drilled two holes in the top of the tray and I put some white taffeta ribbon through the holes to make a hanger.  Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the calendar with the ribbon. 

I used MS Word to create the numbers.  The dp is retired SU designer paper that I had been "saving".

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Advent Calendar!
