Find your creative bliss

Oh, the Wild Kratts party is finally over!!!!! It was a huge success, at least that is what I can tell from the kids at school who see me and say "Mia's mom, it was the coolest party ever!" We are totally exhausted but so worth it. No matter how far in advance you plan a party, you are always rushing at the last minute. My legs are still throbbing, let me tell you.

Anyway, party pics are coming soon, together with pinata instructions and some cool stuff like food signs. But today, I'd like to share with you a card I created for Practical Scrappers' birthday cards feature. 

I love these hats, and I love the stamped numbers, too. Lucky I had someone turning 34 to give it to! I will be leaving Practical Scrappers soon and my heart is aching, I will certainly miss this absolutely fabulous and talented team. I really can't do everything I wish I could do, however, and I can't stay in a team and not give it 100%, so it is time to at least take a break. They are having a Design Team call at the moment, and if you are looking for a site where you will be working with fabulously talented people who encourage you to be creative and support you every step of the way, then this is the right team for you. You can click HERE for more information. 

One more announcement before I leave: the Art Studio @ Scrapbook News and Review is almost ready to launch!!!! Have a look at this and then tell me how badly you want to check this fantastic site right now:

Yes, I know, I can't wait for you to see it all either, but all I can say is you will LOVE it! There are so many different classes for all interests and levels I am sure you will find something that is just perfect for you.

This week's challenge at the Create:Blog is to create a Christmas card using non-traditional colours. I love the lime green/light blue/pink colour combo for Christmas, so this was an easy task.

Pin It

I bought the We R Memory Keepers flocked lace in a Crafty Steals' deal a couple of years ago, and I am so happy I finally got to use it. It was a bit tricky as it is not as white as it seems when it has the backing paper, so I had to use two layers, which took some time and effort to make them match perfectly. Totally worth it because I love the delicate look of the lace tree. The buttons are from my button box and the star is by Teresa Collins. The patterned paper is not Christmas paper, but Watermelon Gazpacho Soup by Jillibean. And the fabric behind the card is part of my new Christmas fabric stash, not sure what I will do with this one yet, just liked and bought it, inspiration will come soon enough! (and that is how my stash begins to grow).
