FCCB Challenge #88 Holiday Cards

Still time to try out for our Design Team  CLICK HERE for more info.

Welcome to another project listing for the {Fatabulous Cricut Challenge Blog}

This week's challenge is Holiday Cards

I created an Acetate Card (using transparency material).  This product can be purchased at any office supply store or your local craft store.  

Key Ingredients

MS Seasonal Cake Art-snowman 2"

Cricut Essentials-decorative frame 4"

Acetate Sheet

Staz-On Ink: white & metallic

Snowflake Stamp-g studios

Sentiment Stamp-Bo Bunny Clearly Stamps

Silver Glitter Craft Foam

Aqua Craft Foam

CS: white & aqua bazzill

I-rock & bling
Cyan Cat's Eye

I cut an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet in half.  Score each piece in half again to create card.  I used some DCWV glitter paper for the base inside the card and some glittery crafty foam for the frame on the front of the card.  I used Staz-On metallic silver & Opaque white ink for the stamped sentiment and snowflakes.

I used MS Seasonal Cake Art for the Snowman.  I used my Gypsy and the Hide Select Contour feature to cut just the hat & scarf in foam with my Deep Cut Blade (Multi-Cut 2).

I added the aqua Bazzill cardstock to the back outside of the card.  When closed all of the Layers show thru nicely.  The final touch was to add some bling with my I-Rock.

Here is my finished card......hope you like it.

I am also linking this to the HIMCR  Holiday Challenge, Whimsical Designs Challenge, Paper Sundaes Winter Wonderland Challenge & The Craft Spot window challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by, be sure and leave me a comment-I love reading your feedback.  I hope you will make a holiday card and submit it over at FCCB.

Quick & Easy Layout: Precious Time

Precious Time....

We all want more of it...we are always using it up.  Now come the holidays and we seem to loose it faster & faster every day!!

Well take a minute to smell the roses....play with the little ones...or just reflect on that precious time.

Make sure that memories you are making are the ones you can't wait to put in a scrapbook page not the ones you wish you could do over.

Let's all take a breath and enjoy this holiday season

enjoy the food

enjoy the music

enjoy the laughter & joy of young ones

enjoy the crisp winter air

enjoy the memories of family and friends!

Talk Time Tuesday:Surviving the Holidays!

Thanksgiving Mini Album by Cathie Rigby

My Talk Time Tuesday is about surviving the Holidays! 

Brought to you by DT Member Mollie!

Most of us are Moms, Aunts, Grandmas. and Sisters... so in this busy time of year we are pulled in a million directions. Holiday concerts, family parties, class parties, work dinners, and much much more. For the next 2 months we will be rushing to get everything done. Here are a few ideas to help you make it to January with your sanity!! :)

The number one thing is to remember the REASON for the SEASON

Take time to enjoy the actives you are at, time flies! Embrace the time with your friends and family. It doesn't have to be perfect for everyone to have a good time. 

Take a few moments for yourself, even if it is only a few minutes enjoy it! Sometimes I will get to the school where I pick up my kids about 15 min. before they get out. I take that time to relax, I listen to the music I WANT to hear, read a magazine and just relax.

It is ok to say "No!" I have a really hard time doing this, but during this time of year I try to not overload myself. We are only human and can only do so much. If it is something you just can't or do not want to do. It is perfectly ok to say "No!", you are not being mean you are just trying to keep yourself sane. 

Make sure you take care of yourself!! If momma doesn't feel good it effects everyone :) ( I know this from my little family) Make sure you drink plenty of water, take vitamins or vitamin C to keep away winter bugs, dress warm when you are out and about, and make sure you get plenty of sleep.

If you start to feel down or overloaded, call a friend or family member and get together for some non-holiday time. When I start to stress out, my BFF and I get together to scrapbook, make a run to the craft store, or make a lunch date. 

And last but not least, the unexpected gift giver... Sometimes we get neighbors or friends that stop by with unexpected gifts. I always keep a few quick gifts on hand. I get a cookie mix, or muffin mix and make extra Christmas cards and tie them on with ribbon and have them pre-signed. That way when those unexpected gifts show up you have something right on hand. I call them my no-stress gifts :)

I hope all of you have a yummy, wonderful and memory filled Thanksgiving

and a fabulous holiday season!
