It's been a crazy couple of months for me but I am finally getting a moment here and there to craft, not as much as I would like but any time crafting is good!

So here is my card.

Wacky Watercooler Mini Blog Hop

Welcome to the second blog hop celebrating the Occasions and Sale a brations catalogs! I missed out on the first catalog hop, so I am happy I made it into this one! Our hop runs in a circular  pattern so you may have landed on my page from Jackie's blog, I'm sure if that is where you came here from that you were inspired with her ideas, if you started here make sure you keep hoping until you make it to her blog.

My first card is one I shared last night and this morning with my clubs and if you haven't bought the Botanical Blooms bundle you are going to want it!

Here is the sample I made for club and below are the two I made during clubs.

I'll stamp the greetings for the last two card when I know what I need the for ;).

The greeting for the first card come from another set from the Occasions catalog called Rose Wonder.

The next card uses World Traveler Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the stamp set Going Global. 

Instead of DSP I cut up one of my husbands flight charts( yes originally I had planned on using the  Sale a bration set Sky is the Limit) 

So there you have it, the ideas I came up with to share, now it is time to hop on over to Marie's blog to see what she has to share.

If you have wondered what has kept me from blogging for the last several weeks, I've been going crazy :), mid way through December My daughter, her husband and 2 year old daughter needed to move and were unable to find housing, they have ended up moving in with us. My four bedroom house now has 7 adults and 2 children living here with a baby due to arrive in April. My craftroom is being shared with one of my sons and I have been trying to work out where my supplies are and between that and taking care of a two year old I haven't had the time to blog. Hopefully I will be able to sneak down during naptime and get a little stamping done.

WWC48 Heidi's "Anything Goes with snow"

This week Heidi challenge was an anything goes with the condition it had to have snow in it. Since I was woorking ahead on our challenges I was able to use thee tag part on my card for my neighbor Christmas gifts.

Silver snowflakes on the vellum as well as a snowy landscape covers the challenge.

WWC47 Marsha's Color Challenge

This week Marsha gave us this color pallet to work with for our challenge at Watercooler Wednesday.

Lots of blues and grays!  Here is my card for the challenge.

I used a retired Stampin'Up! embossing folder and a retired phrase, everything that I had that wasn't retired just didn't seem to work. Square or rectangle shaker cards are easy to make, just use the outside border on your dimensionals.

Check out what the artists at Watercooler Wednesday have created then get the blue going, be sure to link you project at http://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.ca/
