Christmas Kitties

Have been doing up some simple cards for my animal rescue group HART and their Kristmas Kritter Sale and thought I would use the Friday Sketchers #129 for this one.  This is for all the cool cats out there looking for a warm home this winter. If you are considering a pet, think Rescue - it ROCKS!!!  I am also entering this little card in the following challenges:

Scrappy Frogs Christmas Card Challenge
Ellephantastic Red & Green Challenge
One Stop Craft Challenge Challenge #108 Christmas Cuties
Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge Challenge #60 Christmas
Crafty Sentiments Design Challenge #45 Christmas

Dancing Maggies

When this stamp came out, I knew I had to have it!  It just screamed 'joie de vivre', let's have fun and boogie down!!  When the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog started this month with a pink and yellow challenge, it gave me a perfect opportunity to put these two out there. This was a fun stamp to work with and I can think of multiple uses for it.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Scrapping Retreat

Just got back from a wonderful weekend away with the girls at a scrapbook retreat in Niagara Falls, Ontario.  Michelle from Scrappin the Night Away did a wonderful job of organizing and hosting this event.  Great company, fabulous food, superlative accomodations and three days of scrapping made for a fun time.  While I was away, I came up with this little card to enter into Really Reasonable Ribbon's blue, white and silver Challenge #11 as well as the special monthly challenge at Just Magnolia which is 'Anything Goes'.  Got lots of cards done for my rescue group's Kris Kringle fundraiser next month, so all-in-all, it was a very rewarding weekend.  Have a wonderful week!

Think Pink!

This month, pink prevails!!  In honour of those stricken by breast cancer and those who have fought and won the battle, we wear pink as a symbol of hope and awareness.  Like many of you, I have followed the progress of the super-talented Jacque this past year as she has struggled determinedly to win this race and was proud to be cheering her across the finish line.  She has been an inspiration to many and we all love her for it.
This week at Just Magnolia the challenge is 'Think Pink" to increase Breast Cancer Awareness.  I have created this little card with this challenge in mind, as well as the sketch by none other than Jacque herself at Friday Sketchers.  I chose to use this Magnolia stamp as a portion of it's purchase price was donated to Breast Cancer which I thought it was truly fitting for these challenges.  As well, this card works for the Allsorts Spots & Stripes Challenge.
Hope you enjoy my little creation and ladies, don't forget to get your 'mammies grammed'!
