How was your Christmas? Ready for New Year's and a party??? Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions has a great stamp for stamp of the week -- and I used it for party invitations to our Neighborhood New Year's party. Our HOA has a New Year's party every year - mostly people my age - trying to stay away until 12:00!!! We have good clean fun and eat too much!
So here is the Stamp of the Week - called Snow Skating - such a cute image - just go to Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built and she has a special code there and then go to Repeat Impressions and put that code into the special order instructions blank -- I'm going to use him on a Valentine card -- which I'll post in a few days.
and the inside is also a Repeat Impressions stamp, called Invitation.
Here is the list of Designers who made projects to give you ideas of how to use the stamp.

Creative Belli Challenge - Military or Veteran
Hi - Darsie, owner of the Creative Belli Challenge issued the challenge to make a Military or Veteran themed project. I'm so glad to know that Darsie thinks those who serve in our military are very important. I kinda went overboard with my cards because these will be going to the Cards for Soldiers program. Here is a little about the program:
Cards for Soldiers was started in January 2006 by the a group of friends and scrapbookers on a scrapbooking messageboard to support our troops deployed to the Middle East. Now a one woman owned Non-Profit Corporation the mission is to send handmade, blank cards to deployed units for the soldiers to use to write to family and friends.

Our Daily Bread Design's Challenge
This week at Our Daily Bread Designs Chris challenged us to make a "musical element" project. I love the fact Chris gave us two weeks to meet this challenge. And I LOVE that ODBD gives out a gift certificate to a random winner! I've got a long list of stamps on a wish list. I'm going to try to do another card tomorrow.
The phrase on this one means a lot to me. In the Old Testament "grace" is often used in terms of it being an ornament, or adornment or something to display. It reminds me that I wear a necklace to accent a blouse or dress -- and God's grace is like that also. I want others to see how it compliments (adorns)the other aspects of Christ in my life.
The stamp is from Grow in Grace. This was a super easy card.

Creative Belli Challenge - Sports
Do you or someone you know participate in Fantasy Sports? Yikes!! At my house, come September, the tv is usually tuned to some sports - NASCAR, Football, Soccer, Basketball - always something!!
I'm not a sports person by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't mind my DH watching -- that means I can scrap, and make cards without interruption!
This week Darsie, the owner of the Creative Belli Challenge has asked us to make a "Sports Themed Project". So I made a card - which I'll probably give to my grandson (9 years old) who plays baseball.
Here is my card:
The stamps are embossed and are from Papertrey Ink and is a very old set - not used much!
Here is the list of Designers who have made projects to inspire you:
Now it's your turn ----- The spirit of the Belli challenge is to encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments! Everyone is welcome to play along! Challenge a stamping friend! Just follow the theme and add your direct link to the inlinkz widget on the Creative Belli Blog.

Papertrey Ink Challenge
Papertrey Inks Challenge this month is called Fabric and Felt wrap.
I made little Halloween cornucopias for my grandchildren. They hold 3 mini snickers. I used a 5 inch square of Papertrey Orange Zest felt cut diagonally into 2 pieces. Scor-tape was used to hold them together then cut black party paper napkins with the new Tissue paper #1 die. I cut them a little smaller by moving the edge of the die up just a little so that they would fit into the small cornucopias.
Little Papertrey Ink Orange Zest buttons, Papertrey Ink's True Black Gingham Ribbon and Mr Bones Skeleton and Spider with his little web stamp and die finished them out.
Thank you for looking at my project. Have a HAPPY stamping day.

Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week - Bulldog
This week Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions gave us a sweet stamp for STAMP OF THE WEEK. It is a bulldog. My husband is a veterinarian and we have several favorite bulldog clients.
Joy - you are here
Kecia
Joyce - NEW DESIGN TEAM MEMBER
Christy - NEW DESIGN TEAM MEMBER
Most bulldogs
are bright and not fierce like their faces portray. They are very gentle and
love family and children. They do
not have guarding instincts nor are they aggressive and tend to be couch
potatoes. They like attention and learn quickly.
Remember you can get this image for 50% off for this week only. All you need to do is go to Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built, get the code there and then put that code into the special instructions blank at the Repeat Impressions Website when you order.
Here are a few members of the Design Team who have made cards to inspire you.
