Little Bear From Chi Chi Memories

Well, I ate just wayyyyy too much on Thanksgiving.  LOL  But it sure was good!!  Glad you had a chance to stop by today.  I'm showing you the adorable Little Bear image and  sentiment that comes in the Merry X-mas set from Chi Chi Memories.  I wanted to make the bear and sentiment the only "colored" part of my card.  Such a simple card to make.

If you like the image and sentiment, head on over to Chi Chi Memories and pick them up.  Great for cards just like this one.  Have a great day everyone.  I'm off to do a little bit of shopping.

WIW Sketch by Dana

Oh it's sketch time at Repeat Impressions and today's sketch was created by the one and only ME!  Wendy asked each of the DT members if they would like to design a sketch and I jumped at the chance.  It makes me think "outside" my normal zone and makes me get super creative.  Well, here is the sketch I came up with.  Do you like it?

The DT members have done a fabulous job with this sketch and I'm so glad they played along with me.  Here's what they came up with:


Lynette **  Harriet ** Darsie 
Joy **  Makiko ** Michele


Didn't they do a awesome job?!?!  Thanks ladies.  Now it's your turn.  Remember to enter your card or project over at The House That Stamps Built for your chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate.

Wishing each of you a fabulous Thanksgiving and eat well.  It's that time of year to not worry about our waistbands, that's what they make elastic for. LOL

Chi Chi Memories Little Fella

Happy Saturday!!  I love my Saturdays and today is going to be a busy one.  First I wanted to show you the card I made using the little boy from the Autumn Collection at Chi Chi Memories.  I realized that my stash of little boy birthday cards was getting a little low so I made this one to add to my stash.  I just think he's ubber cute!!  LOL    The paper is from SEI Poppy paper stack.  When I purchased this paper I kept thinking I would use it on girl cards but then I saw this paper and knew it would do wonders for anything little boy.

Hope you like my card today.  I'm heading out to my friends 30th birthday dinner.  Aww.....I remember that year. Soooo past it now.  LOL  Have a great day everyone.

Gift Giving Time

Oh it's that time of year.  Let the gift card giving begin.  Hi everyone.  I don't know about you but getting Christmas gifts for my kids is a challenge.  So I just give them a variety of gift cards.  I make these super easy gift card holders for each card I'm giving them and drop them under the tree or in their stockings.  I'm featuring the tree image from Chi Chi Memories Merry Xmas collection.  I colored the tree in with Copic markers and added a little bit of stickles for some added sparkle.  Now, I have to figure out who get's this holder. 

If you would like the sizes for this gift card holder, leave me a comment with your e-mail address and I'll be happy to send it to you.  Have a great day everyone and see ya soon.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Teddy Bear

The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming.  That's the phrase that keeps running through my head.  I can't believe it's already November.  My kids are already giving me their Christmas list.  Yikes!! 

Today is Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week.  This cute little Christmas Teddy (2007-I)  reminds me of one I picked up at Harrods when we lived in England.  Every year I place him by our fireplace where he sits proud and happy to be out of his box.   I just adore this image.

And let's see how much the other ladies enjoy this Christmas Bear.

Julie    Harriet   Joy   Lynette

I think they love this little bear just as much as I do.  Now it's your chance to place him on your holiday cards.  Remember all of our blog readers can purchase this image for 50% off this week (Nov 1 - Nov 7).  Just head on over to The House That Stamps Built and pick up your discount code.  Wendy is standing by waiting to take your orders.
