Blog Candy Winner and Christmas Card Challenge Week #51It's been fun reading all of your comments. I hope you all get those Copics! :) So far, I have narrowed my list to a photo light box, the copic airbrush system, and a Janome mini sewing machine. I considered some of the Cricut stuff...but I honestly haven't used my Cricut since I packed up my apartment.
 Paper: SU Cardstock, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses
Stamps: Riley and Company, sentiment and border is PTI Snowflake Punches, PTI Buttons, Crystal Stickles, Nestabilities, and Copics I'm not really too happy with this photo, so I'm gonna try to take another one in the morning. Since I'm coming to the end of Christmas cards 2009, any Christmas, Holiday, or Winter card is good for this challenge! Next week will be my first whole year of making Christmas cards! Many have asked about my Snowflake punches. The ones I have are the Marvy punches. They come in 5 sizes and Papertrey Ink made two stamp sets last year, Snow Fall and Snow Fall Additions, that match 4 of the sizes of the snowflakes. Martha Stewart also has a few snowflake punches out and they're next on my list. Mr. Linky Note: Please link directly to the blog post or gallery page where we can view/comment on your creation and not just the generic link to your blog. To get the full url, click the title of your blog post (which will load a page that has just that post on it), then copy and paste the URL into the Mr. Linky form. Thanks and please still post a comment so I know you added a card! Everyone have a great Sunday!   Cuppycake with Huggabugg on TopYvonne works in Accounting and last week she asked if I could come talk to her. She sounded so serious, I thought I was in trouble, lol. I walked into her office and she asks, "Do you sell any of the cards you make?!?" I sighed in relief!
 Paper: Basic Grey Nook and Pantry
Stamps: Stamping Bella, sentiment is PTI CTMH Brads, MS Border Punch, PTI Ribbon, PTI Buttons, Twine, Nestabilities, Copics, and Crystal Stickles So, the Canada thing...I can't really say specifics until later, but I will speak generally. By Summer 2010, Brent and I could have some great career opportunities in the Vancouver metro area. Of course, Brent and I just bought a brand new house this year and it would be silly/hard to pack up and move once again. But, I think it would be so wonderful up there and we could go to Canuck games all the time. Hockey is Brent's favorite sport, so it's a good lure to use on him. A girl can dream, eh? Everyone have a great Saturday!  Skiing RileyI broke my ankle when I was 8 on Thanksgiving. I've always been scared of breaking it again and since I can't stand the cold, skiing is just not the sport for me. :) I'll go up to the mountain, but I'll be the one reading and eating at the lodge by the fire. I also used Mojo Monday 112 for this card.

Stamps: Riley and Co, sentiment is PTI Basic Grey Brads, Rhinestones, Copics, Nestabilities, Snowflake Punch, PTI Buttons, and Crystal Stickles Everyone have a great Friday! I've worked 12 straight days, so I'm excited to just have a day off. I'm not complaining since the Managers Conference is always a blast, but I'm exhuasted. I need to clean, do laundry, and get my house together. I also need to get some major crafting done. I hope to finish tons of stuff over my Thanksgiving weekend, since Brent and I have chosen not to go home this year. We're going home for Christmas and New Years, so we'll see our families in due time. My In-laws are going to Vegas and we couldn't afford to go with them. Otherwise, we'd be celebrating with them! :) And since Anna (my step mom) isn't American-ized enough, she doesn't do the whole turkey thing. Plus, we have to save some of our vacation time for the Olympics in February! I seriously can't wait. For other reasons...I want to move to Vancouver, BC! Another topic for another day, lol. Yeah, it's almost the weekend!  My First BellaThis is the one stamp that changed my stamping career. As soon as I saw her, I knew I had to have her and thats what started my Bella collection. There's only 2 stamp collections that I have every one of. Bellas and Rileys. What an odd couple, eh? :) Now, I don't have every stamp Stamping Bella makes, but I do own every "Bella."
 It's a Jolly DayToday is Brent's birthday...and unfortunately I don't have a birthday card for him. With our conference, I just didn't have time to create anything and I didn't get the stamps I wanted in time either. But, I do have another Christmas card. Kindof out of my comfort zone, since it has no stamping, lol.
