My late posts!! Partying with PTT

I'm afraid that I have to ask all of you for forgiveness. December is literally kicking my behind! I seem to barely be home, and my house is only about an eighth decorated for Christmas. I believe that this my be my craziest December on record! However, I'm trying to find some balance and not become stressed out! I refuse to act like Scrooge! That being said, I hope that all of you are enjoying the month. I'm also trying to remain centered and remember that we as a family are celebrating Jesus' birth, and that now is a perfect time to reflect on how we can share our time, talents, and bounty with those who go without.

My two above cards are for this week's and last week's (hangs head in shame) Party Time Tuesdays posts. They were featured on time on the blog, but craziness prevented me from posting them on here. We were so graciously sponsored by My Mind's Eye with a fantastic pack of paper this month. Aren't the colors gorgeous. And, we have amazing images from Paper Makeup and The Paper Shelter!! All of these sponsors are just wonderful people who make wonderful products! The last sponsor provided us with the lucious ribbon--3 Girl Jam, and the colors we were given were Holly Berry and Mistletoe! It's not too late to join in the fun and win some prizes at Party Time Tuesdays! You can enter your card HERE!

I will see you on Monday for Paper Pretties!!

PTT39 - Anything Goes!

We have a very popular theme this week at Party Time Tuesdays -- Anything Goes! I have this adorable image from The Paper Shelter to work with this week. His name is: The Little Sorcerer's Apprentice! I used Nestabilities to cut him out, and I accented him with glittery bat stickers! He is very simply put together, but I just love the Basic Grey bat paper!!

You can find more samples and details HERE. We would love to have you join us this week! Thanks for stopping by!

PTT29 A fun sketch for you and 2 cards!!

This little cutie is from Chi Chi Memories and he is called Goodnight Babies...isn't he a cutie? I paper pieced him with some paper from Basic Grey. I then paired him with some old favorites from Stampin' Up -- Blue Bayou and Soft Sky! The ribbon is twisted to just give a different look, and the image where it is not paper pieced is colored with Copic markers.

This adorable image from The Paper Shelter is the image that I chose to focus my sketch card on! I had to tweak the image a bit to work with the materials I had, but I believe that you can see the basics of the sketch. This little cutie is called Sunny Day by The Paper Shelter. I used the new pennant builder die from Sizzix that is available through Stampin' Up. The sentiment is from Woodware USA, and I used all Stampin' Up paper for the card (Tempting Turquoise, Pink Pirouette, and Pink Flamingo DSP). The image is colored with Copic markers, and the ribbon is a no name brand from Hobby Lobby. The sketch from Stacy is below.

Thanks for stopping by today...don't forget to visit the Party Time Tuesdays blog for more inspiration and information on the products and stamp lines represented here!
