Spreadin' Some Luv! My 3 Month Blogaversary Candy! *CLOSED*

Hey all!  I can't believe Thanksgiving is a couple of days away!  How will you be spending Thanksgiving?  I'll be spending my Thanksgiving with FAMILY!  Try like all day long!  ~ My mother-in-law is making lunch here at the house, then over to my parents for dinner, and another trip to 1LuvnDad's aunty's house for dessert!  The festivities continues on Friday with lunch at another aunty's house.  Phew . . . I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

Well, I realized that I started my blog on September 1st (although I started the notion of creating one in my HEAD for a long time).    I've been having so much fun with it . . . sharing my thoughts, my fun projects, my creations and whatever goes on in my crazy little world.  I've connected with some friends and made some along the way.  I've received some "luv" from others who give of themselves so now it's my turn to SPREAD SOME LUV to you!  So, on my 3 month blogaversary coming up on December 1st & with Christmas just around the corner, I want you to have an opportunity to win this . . .

I made a Christmas Accordian Tag!  I saw this on Split Coast Stampers and so wanted to make one.  I just used my scrap DP's and CS, along with all the embellishments.  The tags measure approximately 2 1/2 x 30 inches!  Wowie!  So long that I could hardly fit the piece into a photo shot . . . tried my best!  Here, I took some pictures close-up, but in sections.

Santa Birgitta's hat is decked up in Chili Pepper Red Fun Flock.  I luv sparkles so I used more stickles!  The glittery chipboard alpha adds more "umph" to the piece.  { Is "umph" a word? }

So Do You Think Anya Can Hula Dance?

You be the judge! 

I thought this was pretty cool.  I wanted Hula Anya to do the kaholo (side by side travelling step), maybe an 'ami (rotation of the hips) too!  Then it dawned on me . . . incorporate the Easel Card & a Slider Card together!  Now she can really dance!  With the plumeria haku in her hair (see them pop!) and the grass skirt, Anya is ready to dance her way into Christmas!  That is . . . a Very Merry Hawaiian Christmas!  For those that might not know the meaning of the Hawaiian word "Mele Kalikimaka", it simply means, Merry Christmas!   Check out the Sparkle Fibers on the snowflakes.  We don't get *SNOW* here on O`ahu so I figured I can wish hard through this card.

This card is up for several of challenges:

~ Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #7 - create a Merry Christmas, Happy Winter card

~ Anyone for Anya? - Make A Fake Challenge!  Using fake lace (border punch), faux stitching and flowers!

~ Allsorts Challenge Blog #28 - Christmas Carol or Song Title!

DP from my stash, carstock, border punch, word window (SU) punch and snowflake punches, nesties, dew drops, sparkle fibers, stickles, pop dots, 2 pennies, red ribbon, stitch stamp (CTMH), Hula Anya, my computer and copic markers.

Well, regardless if Anya can hula dance or not, she's can do a good job faking it that's for sure!  JOURNEYING off into the sunset!

Another Tote Bag and Card . . .

Okay, I just had to make another Tote Bag and Card to match . . . just because.  IT WAS SO DARN FUN TO DO!  This time, I used one of my favorite colors, PINK.  Yes, I know, I'm using Heidi again.  I can't help it, I luv her!  She is so versatile ~ you can add embellishments to her, in front of her, & use her for all seasons.  Or simply, use her as is.  Regardless, she's cute!

This Pink Tote is up for a challenge at:

~ Whimsy Stamps Challenge #28 - Not a Card please! 

Well, gotta JOURNEY to my next project . . . stay tune!  :o)
