It's Saturday... Some Challenges!

Happy Day after Christmas ;)
Hope y'all survived the day of festivities! I know some of you are probably still going at it throughout the weekend! but everyone here is completly exhausted and we're taking the today (Saturday) to do nothing, lol - which technically means to do everything, since we have a million toys to rip out of boxes, put together and pry open battery comparments ;)  Wish us luck!

Ok, so I have 2 cards to share with you and the challenges that helped!

Every year, I am up until 2am Christmas Eve/morning wrapping and putting things together! LOL! I'm the Santa ;)
DH always makes a pancake breakfast, we lounge around in our pj's until it's time to get ready to go to either my parents or sisters house - this year I think it may be both! LOL! Luckily for us, we all live within 5 miles of each ;)

Let's Celebrate with Everyone!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!
I love you all! but, I had to combine my challenges/posts today! Sorry :(
My boys and I are still not feeling well, and well... I really needed to take a step back from crafting and concentrate on getting us 110% healthy again ;)

... sigh... Ok, enough violin playing ;) Here we go...

It was my turn to choose this week's theme for Twilight Tuesday's Inspiration Challenge 57...

" I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still celebrating the release of New Moon!
And with my b’day in just a few days! I’m in the mood to keep on celebrating in every way possible!"

... sigh… wouldn’t it be nice to receive a handsome vampire as a gift? ;)

This week’s Challenge is to create a “Celebrating” project for the vampire-lover in your life! You can choose any holiday or event i.e. birthday, Christams, Valentine’s, etc.

Comment portion: There’s no denying that we all have wish lists! Especially with the holidays upon us! Some lists are a little more practical than others… What’s on your “not-so-practical” wish list???

{My impractical wishlist consists of... sparkly vampires! Unlimited supply of adhesive, Copic Markers and Papertrey Ink Cardstock! PLUS! An extra 2 hours a day dedicated to ME time only!!!}

AND! This week's Die Cuts R Us Challenge is to create a Project with a Holiday Feel :)

I am also submitting my lil tin to The Pink Elephant Color Challenge 44 (which are the traditional Christmas colors - Red and Green!) and Club Anya's "The Complete Package" Contest :)

It's currently filled with Andes Mint Chocolates and a New Moon keychain... What better way to celebrate the upcoming holidays and the release of New Moon!!! hee, hee!


I'm planning on adding some Dew Drops and Buttons and maybe some ribbon!
The recipient can then use it to keep their keepsakes, movie tickets, anything ;)

Here's the back...

... I {heart} my Clear Spica Glitter Marker :)


Tin Box Details:

I'm praying that my very soon 6yo, Nicky, will be well enough to go to school today! That my 3 1/2yo, Matt, will love his new crayons and draw more pics of his "family" without having too many coughing fits and that I can get through my day with lots of patience and a positive attitude ;)
Have fun with your challenges! Can't wait to see what y'all will create!!!
