Honestly, I do believe in the magic of christmas... I was just popping around to look at the latest challenges and I noticed that I had won the city crafter challenge last week!!! wow I am so surprised.... thank you so much for choosing my pink christmas ideas, I am so very happy...

I wanted to share a little santa magic today... this is a little card made with melissa francis papers and tags... I just received these holiday stamps from papertrey ink and have been anxiously waiting to try them...

A little winter magic....

Just a little winter magic to share today.... I have had this sleigh since I was a child and all my kids have used it, it has withstood the test of time but upon viewing some photos by winterwonderland I decided to give this old sleigh a transformation....

these skis were another little project, they were handmade by grandfather, and have always been an inspiration, as I have skied since I was three... through high school racing and beyond... they now sit comfortably welcoming all to my humble home...

Once upon a dream...I had....

I dreamt of a world of pink and cream daydreams...... I think, I know, I drifted off to another place in time, a place my heart holds dear, filled with hope and love and peace.....

I feel my heart transfixed upon these images... the thoughts, the feelings they invoke... how one so inspires the other...

Thinking in Pink.....

Hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I had a lovely dinner with my family, it could not have been better.  Sometimes I cannot believe my mom is eighty, she acts and looks not a day over sixty... and her family meals are of the same substance as when I was a child... always wonderful....she is and always has been by far the best "chef" I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, and experiencing the wonder of "food"...

On another lovely note, I have begun to feel christmas in the air, in a shabby little pink vibe.... this little card is a shabby little pink card, embracing the concept of "pink christmas", which I'm sure will unfold before my ever creating eyes!!!.... I do adore anything pink, from tinsel to paper and beyond....

Here's to the most wonderful christmas to come....

Sweet friend....

It's hard to believe it's Monday again, sometimes i cannot believe how fast the week's go by, i wish i could squeeze more into them but before i know it they're gone... this is a shabby little card i made using glitz papers and embellies, i just love the transparencies they have with their new collections, they are wonderful and the colors are oh so shabby....

I also wanted to thank the amazing artists who have recently left me comments on my work, it is so heartwarming to receive such lovely comments and they truly keep me going.... thank you all...

Another shabby christmas card to share...

Loving these papers and tags from melissa francis, the tones are sooooo very shabby... there is nothing like a little crinkle seam binding, vintage buttons and lace, glue, glitter and melissa's paper's, whohooo what a gorgeous, no fail recipe...
******************************************************************

I just heart everything about this set of papers, tags and goodies....

Shabby Little Christmas.....

I'm really getting in the mood to make some "shabby little christmas cards"!!!! So off to my delicious stash of melissa francis, glitz and mme produts, what an amazing assortment of shabby goodness.... I really enjoy just gazing at all the pretties, but my creative senses just push me forward, into the card zone!! What fun, I hope you enjoy a little shabby goodness.....
I wish you could see the trunk a little better, I tried using a crackle glaze for a bit of texture, i can't wait to try this more
this next picture is just for fun! my two babies playing...
