Collectible Tidings

It's Wednesday - but here is the Merry Monday Challenge for this week.  Stitches and buttons are what are called for this week.

Has anyone noticed how many times I've used that embossed background????  It's because I have a bunch left over from a stack camp and I'm slowly putting them to use.  My stitching around the edge is a bit uneven - but then, it would be if I was truly stitching it also!

Hope your week has been moving along fine.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Holly Tidings

This week at Merry Monday we are to use holly on our creations.  The only holly I could find right now is this wee little one from "Happy Hour".  I ended up colouring the leaves in a bit because of stamping on the embossed background……and I'm annoyed with the one little smudge….especially since I was using markers to colour in the stamp!  

And hey - I've started another blog with just my doodles and "art work" on it.  I create something every day - whether it's just a card, or just a doodle or both - I have to create something….so if you are interested please pop on over.  I'm posting current work and also some previous projects from time to time.

The blog address is very close to this one…..   http://jjefferycreations.blogspot.ca  

Hope you Tuesday has been terrific!  Thanks for dropping by.

Merry Mojo Monday

Ornaments are the thing this week over at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.  And I used the sketch from Mojo Monday this week also.

When selecting an ornament I decided to go with one that I don't use very often….in a set that I use a lot!  To get the dots on the circle, I brayered some Old Olive ink onto the embossing folder.

Now I'm off to get my hands dirty with some paint - hope you have had a wonderful day.  Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Deck the Halls...

I know we're barely into the year, but I think I'm on a roll with participating with Merry Monday so far!  This week they have a colour challenge with ribbon added.  I've used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip with the Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon sprucing up the ornaments.  (I'm sorry that the embossing powder is so shiny in the photo!)

Here is their challenge:
