Challenge #146. Baby its cold outside.

Baby, it's cold outside...

 



We're asking you to take your favorite Christmas carol or other holiday song as the inspiration for your artistic creation!  You can also take the theme of frosty, wintry, snow weather and run with it to make your project, we're very open minded that way!
 
Rosemary here and once I got started with Christmas songs, I just well, went a little crazy.  I love Christmas songs and have been known to play them at other times of the year when I need a little Christmas, right this very minute....oops, see?

Okay, I created three cards.  The first is inspired by '(There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays.'

 

Then I went elegant with 'O Christmas Tree.'

Finally, 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town.'  Love a little retro look...

 

Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to one and all!!!

Electra   here  What can I say?  I live in Canada.  No problem with this theme!
I hope your Christmas is warm and toasty!!

Deena here  I went for the "Joy to the World" aspect with some frolicking reindeer to lighten the Christmas mood....my dad bought this stamp and die set for Christmas this year and I get to use it before Christmas!  Wahoozle!  Hope Santa is good to all of you this year!

Challenge #145. Monkey see, Monkey do.

Deena here - This was my idea of a challenge this time round, and if you don't like monkeys, you are in trouble!  I came up with the challenge because my awesome mother made us these sock monkey coffee cozies as a request for my birthday...

I think they are the cutest things ever, so I had to make a card to go along with them...here it is:

this is one of my most favorite stamps and sentiments...so true!  So grab a cup and join on in!
 Let's see what all the other wonderful poobahs have come up with for this challenge.

Rosemary here and I made a cheeky monkey card that seems perfect for reconnecting with an old friend!  Easily created with patterned papers and a Cricut cartridge!

Ohmygosh, this was a hard one for me!  I didn't have anything even remotely monkey-like in ALL of the gaziliions of embellies, papers, et al in my studio.

Nothing in the over 100,000 digital elements I have either.  What to do, what to do. 
(other than a scrapaholics anonymous meeting, of course)
GOOGLE, that's what.  
I know, it's kind of disturbing, isn't it?
Deets can be found on my blog.   If you want, that is.  :-)
