Welcome to Party Tuesdays!

You didn't know it was a Party Tuesday?  Well it is!  On Tuesdays I get to share my design example for Party Time Tuesdays - On Tuesdays I get to explore my inner creative and be fearless!

Decembers sponsor for Party Time Tuesdays is Heather Hudson of  My Artistic Adventures.  She has a really fun selection of vintage-ish downloads and I couldn't wait to play with them.


My Artistic Adventures


                               Digital and Paper Designs





This download was a set of tags.  I just printed, embellished with a  bit of embossing powder and inked edges, made a little fabric flower with some gold leaves and that little heart, added ribbon and done!

If you like playing with paper, give Heather a visit, and hop on over to Party Time Tuesdays where there is a weekly challenge with wonderful prizes (like something form Heahter's store!)



Now if you have been visiting my blog at all lately you know that I committed to sending out Christmas Cards this year.  Maybe never again.  I decided to use up some of the supplies I had on hand - here is some more proof that I have been following through!










Every card is different.  I've just looked  what was in front of me, and start putting things together.  Some of them I like better then others. But after the 15th 50th card, it no longer matters how close to satisfied I am with them, it's more about just getting them done and in the envelops.  

So far I have about 10 that are not fitting into envelops.  But that's okay, I can just make envelops.  Right?  

Well, maybe.

Well, it's the thought that counts, right?

I hope to have the ones I committed to send in the mail by this Saturday.  Then, I can work on the family ones.  I don't have a big family and friends list, but since I gave cards to strangers this year, I kinda feel obligated to do something for the relatives and the friends that are still sending me cards. 

Is there something you feel obligated to do during the holidays?  Something that you might enjoy, but you feel like you should do anyway - even if you don't enjoy it? (Like decorating?) Let me know I'm not alone in the comments!

I signed up for a Christmas card exchange this year on World Wide Nannies - I don't know what I'm thinking really.  Time vs All The Things I Want To Do vs All The Things I Should Do - does not usually equal a win /win situation for me.  But in the midst of finishing other projects  (to sell, hopefully)  I find I have just enough time on my hands to play around with scraps of paper. 





I love paper.  Pretty paper seems to connect so well to good books to me, as if the two are relatives. So while I do scrapbook family photos, I often find myself buying paper just because it is too cute or pretty to pass up.  







Again, I build my case for the fact that I don't have much practice as a card maker.  Like I said on my last post, I haven't even sent out store bought cards for the last five years or so.  

-Way to bite off more than you can do, Dapoppins!  I sign up for a list that has about fifteen names on it and then decide to hand make all the cards!

I think my pony tail must be too tight, or something. 





I have a few things coming up that you might want pop back in and check out - Guest Posting at about a subjects I feel passionate about at NannySheCando and Care Academy. (this is so awesome.  I am a published non-fiction author!  Step one on my journey to becoming a famous fiction author like Lemony Snicket!)

Another Party Time Tuesdays design team example where I get to use some wonderful vintageish downloads from My Artistic Adventures.

Happy Autumn: Sharing my Fall Foxy With You

I saw this little guy at my local Craft Warehouse  last year.  It's a big craft store a little bit like Hobby Lobby, only not.  ...
