Super Fun TOOT for Me :o)

So very excited to be tooting this week. I found out recently that I was one of the lucky ladies chosen to be on the first, ever Design Team for the new Pile It On! Challenge Blog. WOO-HOO!!!

More information about the new blog:

The theory behind Pile It On! is to create cards, scrapbook pages or even altered items using MORE THAN ONE challenge! We have found it to be a challenge to see how many challenges we could get into one project.

Here is the concept:

Each Sunday we will give you a challenge. We would like you to incorporate our challenge with at least one other CURRENT challenge from another blog (at the time of posting) to "qualify" to be one of our Three Top Scoops or should there be a prize offered that week.

Hope to see LOTS of you playing along with us!!!

This challenge was to create a project that was related in some way to one of our Holiday Traditions. Oh, and be sure to check out the rest of the FABULOUS creations from the Design Team!!

For several years now, three of my closest friends and I (we call ourselves the FAB 4), get together at Christmas time to exchange gifts, hang out with each other, cook dinner or eat out somewhere we love, have a few drinks and just have a good time. I have always made them each a handmade Christmas card, and this year was not going to be any different. Here are my three cards I made for the girls this year.


I would like to thank the ladies over at the Pretty Committee Blog for having me as their first ever Guest Designer. It's been a WAY fun month!!!
