I made this cute Advent Calendar for my boss. SHHH! Don't tell! I wanted to share it with you all. I used a kit from Making Memories. I think I will have to make one for myself!

Boy Oh Boy did we get a snowstorm. This past weekend we received 18 inches of snow between Friday and Monday. I wanted a white Christmas and I think we will get one!!! I have attached photos that I took throughout the weekend along with some Christmas decorations around our house. Can you see the maze my husband snow plowed in the backyard for our dog "Shea"! She had a blast running through the paths. She is shorter than the 18" of snow so I hope she doesn't get turned around!!! Which way do I go? Which way do I go? It was early and that is my excuse!!! Our Christmas tree and other decorations. Yes, we are those people that buy our dog clothes for Christmas and what is better than receiving her first JETS jersey??? Alright maybe I will get counseling after the New Year! Merry Christmas to all!!!

When I saw the colors for Kristina's Color Challenge (kwernerdesign.com) this week, I thought they would work well for a baby card. There must be something in the water because I have so many friends having babies in 2009 and now I have a card for one of them!!!

I came up with this design for my mom's Christmas cards this year. So if any of her friends are viewing this post act surprised when you receive one!!! I just loved how it turned out so I wanted to share it with all of you. I have listed the supplies below. Now back to the drawing board to design my own before it is too late!!! Base card: Brown Notecards (Michaels) Paper snow base : Whisper White (Stampin' Up) Assorted paper for trees : Dirty Laundry Series (Keeping Memories Alive) Gem Adhesives: (EK) Glitter: (Stampin' Up) Ink: Chocolate Chip and Whisper White (Stampin' Up) Stamps: Baroque Motifs and Warm Words (Stampin' Up) Extra Supplies: 3D mounting squares and 2 way glue pen

This week for Kristina's Challenge (kwernerdesign.com) I decided to incorporate her button image into my card. I was able to pull out my old Sizzix button pattern and dust it off. I love the Sizzix machine!!!! Below is a list of supplies I used: paper: certainly celery, chocolate chip, pumpkin pie, taken with teal and whisper white (Stampin' Up) Sizzix: Button set markers: taken with teal and pumpkin pie (Stampin' Up) rub-on: Expressions (Making memories)
