Blue and Silver for Christmas

Today's card is just plain pretty, with it's soft, warm colors.  What can I say?  I love it. 

The boys are off school now, so we're working on projects ... a bit of a challenge, with a 14 month old baby with us, as well, but we're doing it and making some pretty cute creations.  We called their great-grandmother (my MIL) yesterday and sang a Christmas song to her.  She was tickled.  The baby is learning to say:  "Ho, Ho, Ho" now ... super cute!  He loves looking at all the decorations for Christmas and mostly is able to gently touch them.  His true love, though, is Toby Joe.  He likes the puppies and they love him, but he adores Toby Joe.  Toby is excellent with him.  Joey crawls over to him, turns his back to him, and scoots up against him and they cuddle ... briefly ... until Toby decides to go rest somewhere else.  It's a wonderful time of the year. 

So... back to my card ... I just love this one.  I have enough cards and projects to share with you to last the rest of the year.  I'll share some of the projects the boys worked on with me, but not until after Christmas.  We can't spoil any surprises:)

November Christmas Retreat, Card 3

Here's a look at the third card we'll be making at our Christmas Retreat this Saturday.  I knew you'd like to see this one.

At the retreat, we'll be decorating all the insides of our cards and the envelopes.

Don't worry about cutting all the pieces, if you choose to attend the Christmas Retreat, because I've already cut all of them for you ... to save time.

Because we're making 3 of each card design, I thought it would be fun to use 3 different designs of DSP for this card.  This one may be my favorite.  I'm not sure yet, because I really like them all.

I still have a few openings left for the November Christmas Retreat.  Sign up soon to hold your spot.  It's going to be a lot of fun and you'll go home with 18 cards --- 3 of each design.
If you are unable to attend, kits are available for $30.

Our Next Scraps and Prayers Project

I just can't wait to share today's post with you.  This is our next project for my Scraps and Prayers class.  I just love it.   

I'm having a lot of trouble believing it's now November.  Even though I've been working like crazy on Christmas projects for over a week now, my phone says it's supposed to be a high of 80 today --- in Illinois!  I will say though, I do LOVE it!!!

I tried to get all the shimmer from the beautiful poinsettia, but it's difficult to capture it in a photo. 

I glued double layers of CS for each layer of the poinsettia, so it would still hold its shape when I added on lots of shimmer.

I love how this project turned out!
