Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest

I had fun with this one, Trying to Win the Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest. It started with this month’s Embossing Folder Club, the lovely Checkered Argyle, which is quite conservative and lovely. Then I decided our little Festive Friends needed to be included (Small Die of the Month Club), and after I got his sweater all argyled to match the background, I thought, “Ugly Christmas Sweater.” So I grabbed the reindeer dies from the Large Die of the Month Club, Cozy Toes Slippers.

Tim Holtz Halloween Cards

Today, I had a little break from work, so I decided to grab all the Halloween Dies I keep buying and have some fun. So today, I have 3 Tim Holtz Halloween cards to share with you. I can’t resist Tim’s dies and every time I watch one of his lives, I’m in there buying (I’m sure you can relate, haha). I have had so many work commitments lately that there has been no time to play. That’s making me cranky, so it’s a play day. hope you like them.

Spellbinders Cozy Toes Slippers Card

As today is the 6th, the clubs are open for purchase, and you don’t want to miss this month; they are fabulous! I started with the Cozy Toes Slippers Dies because it reminded me of my own Christmas as a kid; my mom used to buy us funny slippers. It was so much fun to see what we got each year, although some of them were kind of hard to walk in, haha
