Muffed up Rosse Challenge...

Good Sunday Morning!
It's the last Sunday of the month and you know what that means.... yep time for the Rose Challenge! Connie Rose set the challenge for us this month... she wants Christmas in July, 3D project you would give as a gift, with a Christmas theme.
That's where I muffed up! This is a gift for Christmas but it doesn't have a Christmas theme.... UGGGGH! Hope Olga Rose doesn't dead head me )0=
This super sized clothes pin will hold a recipe card. I found a couple of these at Big Lots and couldn't wait to play with them! Be sure and check out what the rest of the lovely Rose's are up to!

I will be MIA for the next few weeks again..... yes we're moving. The condo we moved into was sold. We bought a new manufactured home to put into a park. Easy Peasy...... NEVER want to move again! Betty Rose and myself have become the moving queens.... there are better ways to spend your summer. She is one up on me though... she is in her permanent home and getting settled!

Non Traditional Christmas....

 Good Morning!
Can you believe it's Thursday already! My goodness the week is flying by! Sorry I've been MIA...  I have so much less work with our new home but it seems I'm busier than ever! I'm also having a hard time getting back in the groove of things! I do have a bunch of these cute little images colored and just need to put them on cards (0=



Blogger still doesn't want to load pictures up... UGGH! This is a little non traditional for Christmas colors, but I like how it turned out!
My card base is bravo burgundy layered with whisper white and wild wasabi. The dp is from a mat stack and my image was a gift from the other Patty Sue!
Be sure and pop back in this evening for the AnnaBelle challenge!
