Cocoa, Snowmen and Good Intentions

Well.  I really had great intentions for the Spring Into Christmas BYSHC Linky Party, but you know, life and lack of sleep and two very demanding toddlers got in the way!  They didn't sleep well this week and I am so exhausted.  So my plans to make a card for every day of the hop just didn't happen.

I took the girls outside to play today which was a huge mistake because after the taste of spring we had, it was cold AF.  So we came inside, made hot cocoa, then they dumped their ball pit out approximately ten times and while they dumped it and half picked it up, I made this card.



Just a few challenges:


Thanks so much for looking and happy caffeinated Christmas crafting!  Laters!!

**NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLORS** April Crushing Christmas IG Hop!

Hi everyone!  It's the 20th (well, 22nd this time!) of the month, and that means it's time for the Crushing Christmas IG hop!  These hops are designed to give you a monthly dose of Christmas cardspiration to help you build your stash all year long!  This month's theme is Non-Traditional Christmas Cards


Love how these cards turned out!  I was in a time crunch and the holographic and matte foil cardstocks really made these simple cards look awesome!


The holographic foil is my favorite!



I'm not sure the matte foil really shows up in the photo but it's so pretty in person!!

**STASHBUSTERS IG HOP** Week Eight - Bonus Card!

Welcome to the Stashbusters 2024 Paper Crafting Hop hosted by @armenscraftroom, @avedamontedesigns, @bkeeleycrafts, @hilarygreek, @createwithkas and @touchofmagik.  Stashbusters post 3-6 creative paper projects every other Tuesday.  Our goal is to use the items we already own to create between 81-162 projects in 2024.



This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  This was perfect for me as I’m going to be needing a few graduation cards coming up, but I did only get one made so far.  


So I wrote my challenge details down wrong in my planner and this was actually the first card that I made for this hop, only I didn't use a card sketch 😂.  So I'm using it as a bonus card!

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  I think that love is something we should always celebrate!!


Normally I put all my cards in one post but I’m changing things up.  I used the current month's sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and this is their retro sketch #155.

This week our challenge was to use any card sketch to make cards with a Graduation or Celebration theme!  This stamp just makes me so happy, and I have ALWAYS loved this song!!  It's doubly special because my niece helped me glue the embellishments on.  That kid is my heart.


Normally I put all my cards in one post but I’m changing things up.  I used the current month's sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday and this is number #275.
