Bitten By The Bug Winter Woodland Branch
I cut the branch in Core'dination White Washed blue cardstock. I lightly sanded the branch to reveal more of the blue base. I used red metallic to cut the berries. I used Core'dination White Washed white cardstock for the snow on the branch and added icicle Stickles for a frosty look.
I cut the bird in red Core'dination cardstock (shadow), followed by red Bazzill cardstock for the icon cut. I used the red metallic paper to cut the bird's body and gold metallic to cut the bird face. Poor little cold bird; I hope he enjoys the berries.
The tag on which the bird and branch are mounted was cut in SEI Winter Song paper (I love this line of paper). Under the SEI tag is a tag shaped card cut in navy Bazzill cardstock. Inside is a smaller white cardstock tag on which a greeting has been stamped.
Below the tag is a red silk ribbon and bow, accented with a smear of icicle Stickles. The word Peace was from the Joys of the Season cartridge. I used the red White Washed Core'dination cardstock to cut the word.

Happy Monday!
Happy Post-Thanksgiving Monday! Have you recovered from the turkey and stuffing feast? I must tell you, with absolutely NO modesty, that I prepared the best turkey we have ever had! Really. I brined the turkey and stuffed it with lemons and oranges, onion and garlic, and finally fresh herbs. It was THE BEST! Next time I will use a bigger turkey... We ran out of meat far too soon.
As good as it was, and it WAS GOOD, the turkey was not the highlight of the holiday. I had all three of my "children" home from their various locations. Aaron, a teacher in another part of the state, was here for just two days due to a Basketball Tournament at his high school. Bethany was in from the College of Charleston until Saturday night. And Ian went back to college in Atlanta on Sunday. We also had our friends the Conrads and their new baby daughter Sophie over for Thanksgiving day. Doug and I learned to play Catch Phrase and Apples to Apples. We had so much fun that I purchased the lastest versions of both games at Target on Saturday.
Okay, so enough of my holiday. The challenge cut at Bitten by the Bug this week is the telephone on the From My Kitchen cartridge. I used various papers from the SEI Winter Song cardstock set to cut my telephone and accessories. And WHO would I be calling at this time of year? Hello, Santa?
I am hoping to put in my last minute orders with the big guy.
I added Prima poinsettias and leaves to my card, as well as Season's Greetings ribbons. I also used my favorite black pen to add a few dots, as well as a copic red marker. I used red metallic paper for a few of the embellishing cuts. I also used the Mini Monograms cartridge to cut the scalloped circle tag.
The good news about this card is IF Santa's line continues to be busy, the card will fit an A2 envelope so I can drop this cardin the post. There is still plenty of time for a North Pole delivery before Santa's sleigh is packed..
One additional note, be sure to go by the Gypsy Spot. Today is the last day to register for the Gypsy give-a-way!! This is your chance to pick up a free Gypsy. What a great pre-Christmas gift for yourself!!!!

Thankful For So Many Things....
Happy Thanksgiving Week! This is sure to be a busy, family focused week for many of us, myself included. I am going to apologize right up front if I do not post again for several days.
Today's Bitten by the Bug challenge is to use the cornucopia from Paper Doll Dress Up. I, of course, made a simple Thanksgiving themed card. I used three cartridges to complete this card, PDDU, Plantin Schoolbook, and Winter Woodlands.
I welded a rectangle from PSB to two cornucopias from PDDU (one flipped). The word Thankful was cut using Winter Woodlands, my current favorite font. I then cut two additional cornucopias and used pop dots to layer them on the front of the card. I cut the fruit in three colors of cardstock. I then used copic markers on the cornucopia and fruit.
Monday is my 28th wedding anniversary. I will be going to Atlanta on Tuesday to pick up my younger son from college. On Wednesday the older two children will come home. We may be having friends from work over on Thanksgiving... AND their new baby!!! And at some point we may be seeing Crissie, Aaron's sweet, sweet girlfriend. I am currently wrapping Christmas presents (to "hide" them in the office), and finalizing my menus for the week! And I am a sick, sick woman because I love it!!! :-)
I hope that each of you has a lovely Thanksgiving!!!!!

Brrrrr - Poor Little Cold Penguin
I used icicle Stickles over the word Brrrr to enhance the frosty effect. I also used Glossy Accents on the top layer of blue skin on the penguin. He looks smooth and sleek, ready for a quick swim.
In addition ot BBTB, I have two other projects posting today. Be sure to click the blinkies and visit Custom Crops for a fun project to make for the guys, and click the Gypsy Spot blinkie for the premier of the new design team.

Pumpkin Patch Farms
I really like the challenge cut for this weeks Bitten by the Bug projects. It is the sign on the Christmas Noel cartridge. I have long admired the adorable sign, but had yet to design a project which included this particular element. I was excited when Regina chose this cut and asked us to use brown and "go fall."
