Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - A Vintage Christmas

Good morning all,
Today is the start of a new challenge at  
and our hostess this week is Anne Marie and she has chosen
A Vintage Christmas as the theme.

We have two fabulous sponsors this week and they are 
 and 

I've chosen an image from Floppy Latte's Digital Designs called Holly Bough
for my card share with another cas design.

I sat down yesterday to start my card ...house was nice and quiet then it happened....chain saws and mulching machines!  Our neighbour had a crew in to cut down a 40 year old tree!  6 hours of mind-numbing noise.....so much for my peace and quiet  :)  At least he didn't schedule them for a Sunday....that's when he usually cuts his lawn.  Like clockwork, every Sunday in the summer, just as we're sitting down to Sunday dinner!   On the bright side...at least he's maintaining the property :)

Enough of my chatter.....on to the details.  Green mirror cardstock has been used to frame the first layer and gold mirror for the Spellbinders Floral Oval.  Seam binding for the bow.   Gold atyou Spica pen used on the bow and SU square lattice embossing folder for the top layer.

Fab n Funky Challenge Challenge #145

Happy Halloween everyone,
First, I have some sad news. We had to say good-bye to our dog on Saturday night.  She was in a lot of pain so we made the decision to let her go. We stayed with her until the end, cuddled her and gave her all the love we could....saying good-bye is heartbreaking.  We've loved all our dogs, from mutts to purebreds, but this girl was very special.  She was the kindest, sweetest dog and was loved by everyone who knew her and more than once let me know she was the smarter one.  We have vowed no more dogs, although my Sister is skeptical since the longest we've been without a dog is 6 months, but it's getting way too hard to say good-bye.

I managed to create another Christmas card for todays challenge at Fab n Funky
My team mates have been so wonderful and supportive this week - I'm so lucky to have them.
Thank goodness also for new dies as I've lost my mojo......
Since it's my turn to host this week I chose the theme of

Fab n Funky Challenge #138

Hi Folks,
I'm back again with my second post for the day! 
 This time I would like to show you what I've created for
 Our hostess is the lovely, talented Vicky and she has set the theme as
 "Harvest Festival".

Our sponsor this week is Digi Doodle Shop, who are offering a $10. prize
to spend in their shop.

For my card share, I've used a digi from the Fall Harvest set.  The Niagara Region in Southern Ontario is well know for it's vineyards and produces many award winning wines.  I coloured this beautiful bunch of grapes to represent the Riesling variety...one of our favourite whites.   This grape is also used in making Ice Wine.  The grapes are left on the vine to freeze and picking time is crucial.  The result is a delicious, sweet dessert wine.
