Christmas Caroling for The Diedrich Dare!

It's Whimsical Wednesday!!! This week 9 year old Madelynn gave us an inspiration challenge. She is really into Wizards of Waverly Place right now. She gave us a plate with Alex's picture on it to inspire us.

For my card, I used these adorable caroling penguins from The Rusty Pickle As soon as I saw them I knew I had to have them. My girls are having fun coloring and making the penguins into ornaments for our tree. Actually, I need to have them stop now. Penguins are starting to take over our tree!! LOL!!

Hi!!

I will keep this short this week. I'm trying to finish getting up all my Christmas decorations!

I can't believe it's week 13 already for The Diedrich Dare. This week Nicky gave us a sketch that I found to be challenging. I really struggled with this one. I had no idea how to do it. So, this is what I came up with. I can't wait to look at the rest of the team's cards to see how far off I am. LOL!!

I used the stamp and sentiment from The Greeting Farm. If you want to play along head on over to The Diedrich Dare blog and upload your card with Mr. Linky.

We have some changes to our design team this week. Here is our new list.

The Diedrich Dare

It's Wednesday so that means it's time for The Diedrich Dare. This week 7 year old Jack gave us a fun sketch to use. What's even more exciting is Club Anya is sponsoring our challenge this week. Jack's Mom, Jessica, will pick a winner. The winner will choose an Anya or Ian stamp from The Greeting Farm's in stock inventory. Thank you Marie for such an awesome prize!! If you want to play along, upload your project to an online gallery and use keyword DDSC12.

I made this card for my husband to make him smile! I haven't talked about this but my husband was in a serious accident on 8/19/09. It's a long story but basically he was working on a pipe and touched the outside of a light fixture with his elbow and got shocked. Turns out someone wired the light fixture incorrectly. My husband received burns in his arm where the electricity entered his body. The power of the electricity threw him from a ladder down 2 flights of stairs. He blew out his ACL and Meniscus along with a lot of other things in his leg. He had 3 months of PT to strengthen the other things. On 11/19/09 he had surgery to reconstruct his ACL and Meniscus. He started running a fever of 102 Tuesday night so we have to bring him to the doctor this morning. It never ends!!

Shortly after the accident, my husband was upset that he had to cut his boating season short 2 months. Such a guy!! :-) I made this card for him to make him smile after his surgery (hopefully not depress him, LOL). I colored it similar to the color of our boat. I hand wrote the boat's name, Calypso, on it. The image is from Hanna Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a Healthy and Happy Thanksgiving!!
