Christmas Days with Creations by AR - Day 5

Christmas Days!

(To see my Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week Post, please scroll down)

For 10 days, that began on Thursday, December 6th, the AR Girls will be sharing ideas for presenting holiday gifts using templates from Creations by AR! Not only will you get to know each of the AR Girls, but every day for 10 days they will bring inspiration to you with their holiday projects. So, join us daily at the Creations by AR FaceBook Page or at our AR Group on Paper Craft Planet.

 Welcome to Day 5 of the hop!

I am pleased today to be showcasing one of my favorite Creations by AR templates, the Gift and Card Combo.

Here are all three of my creations.

Rubber Stampede Image, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Bazzill DP, Ribbon from my stash.

Northwoods Rubber Stamp, Cardstock, Transparency from Office Max

Amuse Candy Cane CS, Stamping Bella 'Frostier' KS207, Copic Markers, Paper Piecing with Bazzill CS, Happy Winter stamp is Paper Salon

 

 

I fully intended to fill this box with tags, but ran out of time!  So it's filled with ugly M & M's.  The sentiment is by Penny Black "3274H Once a Year", and reads "At Christmas play and have good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year!"

Stampendous "JO89 Friends Love, "C037 Snow Angel", Bazzill DP, Copic Markers, Sakura Glitter Pen, Amuse Baker's Twine, Black Colorbok CS, White Office Max CS

Each of these adorable gift boxes has an adorable slide out drawer, for candy, tags, gift cards, jewelry, ornaments, Copic Markers, etc!  This sentiment is from Impression Obsession "Peaceful Season Wishes #D8623"

One winner each day will receive a template of their choice from Creations by AR. The Daily Prize winner will be chosen from comments left on the designer's blog who is featured that day.  The daily winner will be announced the following day on the AR FaceBook Page and on our AR Group on Paper Craft Planet.  

The Grand Prize Winner will receive ONE TEMPLATE A MONTH FOR SIX MONTHS beginning January 2013! The Grand Prize Winner will be randomly chosen from comments left on the  AR FaceBook Page and on our AR Group on PCP between December 6-15. Winner will be announced December 16.

Mirror Me...

Where has this week gone? I've thought all week I would try some new challenges, and suddenly it's Friday!!! Egads, time flies, and I don't feel like I have accomplished much. Oh well, that's what next week is for, right? Lol...

The 365 Cards Challenge for today was "Mirror Me". We were to create symmetry on our card. Well, again, I didn't have much time, so this was done in a hurry. I thought it best to not include any bling, or sentiment. I thought it was peaceful as is...

The tree image is from Rubber Stampede, Inc. The little birds are from Stampscapes, and I used a Rubber Stampede Mirror Image Stamp to reverse the image. (This is a flat stamp that you actually stamp ON, and then quickly stamp your cardstock while the ink is still wet). I sponged with Ice Blue Color Box Chalk ink, and stamped with Versafine Brown.

Hope you enjoy it - it is supposed to resemble trees at waters edge. I think I need some lessons on this technique!!!

I am certainly enjoying the 'blurfing' that I have time to do. It's so much fun to see all of your beautiful creations, and to get to know each of you through our love of all things paper and ink...

Be sure to check out the badge at the top right on my blog! My dear friend Lisa, is starting a Sunday afternoon Challenge!!!! She is wonderful, and sweet, and talented, and I can't wait to see our first challenge! I will be there for sure!!!

Blessings!

Patti J.
