CTO Challenge 34: Any Occasion with Red, Black, and White; I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Hello my treasured friends!

Welcome to another Celebrate the Occasion Challenge! Today's challenge is to create a project for any occasion of your choice, but you must include the following colours: red, black, and white. Here is my card for this week's challenge - since Christmas and my craft fair is right around the corner, I thought it would be wise to get started on the Christmas cards!


As you can see, I through green and brown into the mix as well! Just make sure to include the red, black, and white as well!

Here's the sentiment inside the card:


Oh how I yearn for a white Christmas! Last year was the first year in at least five years that we had a white Christmas! I hope the same goes for this year as well!

Trail of Treasures:
  • Card Base - standard A2 sized card, 4.25 x 5.5" cut from Recollections Kraft colour cardstock
  • Card Layer - 4 x 5.25" cut from the Recollections Sugar Plums Holiday Stack
  • House - cut from the Cricut Lite Jolly Holidays Cartridge at 4.75"; added Flower Soft Polar White to the snow, and added a wreath brad to the door, as well as a mini black brad for the door knob
  • Hill - cut from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge, and used Flower Soft Polar White for the snow
  • Sentiment - used the PBD Christmas Wishes stamp set on an EK Success Punch

I absolutely adore the Jolly Holidays cartridge! It is a must have! Just look at this cute little house with Santa stuck in the chimney, and his footprints on the house! The whole card just came together so nicely! I hope that you all feel inspired this week to join us in the challenge here!

Until next time's treasures,

Pengu Pengu!!

Hi everyone!

I've been working on some Christmas tags for an upcoming craft fair this November. So I've been mass producing these adorable little penguins from the Peachy Keen Penguin Doll Dies. These are just the cutest!! I've been adding different accessories to these cuties, so I'll be posting some pictures once I finish them all. These penguins will be added to gift card holders, cards, and gift tags.

For this week's Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge it is to create a project using an animal as the main theme.


I used the smallest sized stamp from the new Winter Wonderland Face Assortment for my little penguin's face! Didn't it come out super adorably?? I just love it!! I LOVE this patterned paper -- I purchased it last year from a local scrapbook store and I'm sorry but I have no idea what company manufactures it! I wish I had purchased more than one sheet!! It has beautiful glitter on it! 

Trail of Treasures:
I just love how cute he turned out!! Make sure to join me back here on Tuesday for another Celebrate the Occasion challenge!

Until next time's treasures,

I hope that everyone has had a great kick start to the weekend! Here in Vancouver, we have a long-weekend, but so far all I've done is work :( Hopefully I'll get some down time soon..but school finals are approaching soon...sigh. I've really wanted to create Christmas cards, but with such a busy schedule, I haven't been able to get around to it yet. This November I'll be taking part in a craft fair so I really do need to get my Christmas craft on! You will see Christmas cards from me soon though! In the meantime, I thought that I'd share with you all the Christmas card I made for my boyfriend last Christmas.
