Feeling better....WooHoo!!

  After a few days of feeling so lousy, I am so thankful to be feeling better.   Today has also been the first day that I've had a lot of time to create and actually felt good too!  Yaay!!

  Yesterday had started out nice, but after getting up at the crack to dawn to get to my LSS for their Annual Thanksgiving sale -- pretty much did me in.  Even so, it was well worth the trip and I also took the time to stop at Bath and Body Works on my way home to pick up a few more Christmas Gifts.   I was soooo tried when I got back home and ended up taking an afternoon nap...a huge help.   After my nap, I felt re-freshed and worked on a couple more cards for Holiday Card Boot Camp.

  Both of these cards were inspired by the cards that Kristina shared with us on Friday and both were fun and actually quite easy to create, which makes it very easy to make a lot of cards in a short time frame.  These cards could easily be reproduced and that's was the goal of Friday's class.   This first one was put together in a matter of minutes and it came out to be a fun little card.

 
   My next card was created using a tag and based on a design that Kristina had shared with us.  The stamp is brand new and one I found at the sale yesterday -- SCORE!!

   My "Peace Heart" card was also inspired and created to enter into this week's 'Love Ya' challenge being hosted over at Crafting by Designs.

   The next card was created for Saturday's new Paper a la Mode Challenge over at The Outlawz and this card is also another idea from Boot Camp.  It is designed as long/tall card, which can work out very well for those to like to put cash in a card or even a newsletter.  It was another card where I created my own little tree by simply cutting scraps of Christmas papers into a variety of triangle shapes.

     As you can see, once I started to feel better I had on a roll and had a great time making these fun, quicky cards.    The next one was inspired by another cute challenge at Crafting by Designs and this challenge was to use Buttons somewhere on your project.

    Of course, I'm very much into making my Christmas cards right now, so that's been my main focus and this card is another card that will be sent out this year.  It's done in a snowflake theme and in a fun color combo or Red, White and Baby Blue -- my touch of non-traditional colors.

  

    My next card is another very easy card, it actually took me longer to come up with the design and sentiment than it did to put it together.  This is a very CAS style card and was creating for today's new CAS challenge over at The Outlawz.   The girls challenge this week is to create a CAS card in a thank-you theme, using Fall colors.    This is the card I created to submit and this would also make a nice Thanksgiving card. 

  My next card is my last card for today and this one was created for this week's Sketch Challenge over at the OWH Stars and Stamps Blog.   I am also including a copy of this week's sketch and invite eveyone to come on over and play along:

Sketch # 96

  And this is my card with a Sentiment that says -- Happy Everything!  This is another stamp that I bought yesterday while shopping at Absolutely Everything!   I thought it was really cute and added the little hearts as a little extra touch!  It could be used for any any day card or also for Valentine's Day too!  

  This is another sketch that is great for using scraps and I did use quite a few on this card!   If you are new to Operation Write Home and would like to create cards for OWH, please go HERE for all the details!!

  Tomorrow, I'll be heading back to Holiday Card Boot Camp for our final day!   I can hardly believe that the workshop is ending already - seems like we just started!  I know I'll miss it and all the fabulous inspiration it's given me for my Christmas Cards this year!  I am so much further ahead now and it'll be awesome to have them all done soon and give me lots more time for all the other things I want to do!!  

  Hope you are having a great weekend, feeling well and finding lots of time to create.  Have a nice night too!!
