September Challenge - CCAYR
Hello! I can hardly believe its already September. Wow, where did the summer go? Technically its still summer we can judge it by the high temps outside. Without further ado let me just tell you about Christmas Crafts All Year Round Challenge, yes, you need to go there and check it out and join in too! Here is my project that I have made. Below you'll find the materials used in making this holiday card.
Tag Card ~ I love how this card came together, the little fabric dangle came in the mail the day that I made the card. :)
Tag - Mistletoe & Holly from Blue Fern Studios
The winter scene - is a playing card from #The Sweet Shoppe Scraps @Carolyn & her daughter run the shop over on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/thesweetshoppescraps The pretty Christmas fabric with button is also from her shop. :)
The added elements are stickers.
The green crinkled ribbon at the top is from my scrap cabin shop on Etsy.
To make this look more vintage I added brushed corduroy around the edges.
Thank you so much for stopping in and don't forget to leave a comment before you go. Blessings, Mary
PS. I wasn't sure how to "tag" someone hopefully this worked.

Cheery Snowflake Card
Hello everyone! Welcome to a New Challenge over at CCAYR, and welcome to 2024! I am running a bit behind in getting my card ready to go, it was already made a few days back, but just now got it uploaded. If you had been wondering why I hadn't made a post in a while, it is due to being sick. Tis the season for some sneezin'. Anyway I digress. Here is my card and our theme this month is Snowflakes. The bear in the background just adds to the cute factor. :) My card is made up of lollipops, candy canes and sugar sweetness, topped off with a glittery snowflake. Thanks for popping 'round to see my card and leave a sweet comment too!
Hugs, Mary

Country Christmas Vintage Style
Hello Crafty Friends, Today begins a New Challenge over at FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge Blog ~ Where I am a new designer! I am happy to be on Becca's Team. I hope that you will come over to join in with us today - this challenge goes from November 7th - December 5th.
I decided to create a card featuring a Country Home Setting, only with a Vintage Style. I love it! Here is my card ~
The Image is from Stamperia, 12x12 sheet. Card stock is from my stash and gold trim is Dazzles. I really like the setting with lots of snow, wooded areas, and florals. Loving the colors of this image. I went around the edges with distress oxide in vintage photo.
Thank you for checking out my card, and we hope to see you at the Challenge!
Have a Crafty Good Holiday Season, and Merry Christmas.
Mary
