<br />
We are upon the holiday season, Who has started, finished or not started their Christmas shopping? I admit I wanted to start early but yet again I will be starting my shopping with in the last month of crunch time. <br />
<br />
Well most of you by now know why we are here each month a group of us talented ladies get together to post two creations to help get us ready for the holiday season along they way we try to give some inspiration as well.<br />
<br />
This year we have been creating our projects following a theme each month. This month for our last month till the new year we are using either silver or gold in our projects :) <br />
<br />
I am not a huge fan of gold I much prefer silver or white gold so I have chosen to use hues of silver.<br />

I want to thank all the wonderful and talented ladies for this wonderful experience again this year getting to see all your projects has for sure given me inspiration and to my BFF for asking me to join in on the monthly hop again this year. It for sure feels great going into the holiday season with 22 cards already ready to hand out. Also by joining this hop this year has just flown by. It was full of many changes but I am looking forward to the adventures, fun and hopefully love that I am hoping is in my future. I hope you all enjoy the holiday season and next time we will be back for 11 Months till Christmas wow that I am sure will come way to soon but until then enjoy the holidays and have a great and Merry Christmas along with a safe and wonderful New Year. Until Next time happy crafting :D<br />

As your reading this Ill be on Vacation in what I hope is a sunny and beautiful week in Myrtle Beach SC.<br />
<br />
Its hard to believe that in 3 months we will be celebrating Christmas. I am starting to get slightly excited for it I must say.<br />
<br />
In preparation for the Christmas rush my great friend Shari got this group of crafty ladies together and for the last few years we create 2 projects each month to get prepared for the Christmas season.<br />
<br />
This year we have been challenging ourselves to create 2 projects based on a specific theme for the month.<br />
<br />
This month is to create projects with <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Garamond; line-height: 22px;">Elves, Santa or Reindeer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Garamond;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">While at the 2nd anniversary for One Crazy Stamper scrap day I actually was able to create one with each :).</span></span></span><br />

Well I know for us up here in southern Ontario its been quite a hot one lately and we had a wicked storm roll by last Friday.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;">Well if you are a regular follower of our monthly hop then you know the drill but if you are just stopping by then here is a quick overview of what we do each month.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;">2 Christmas ago my great friend Shari was having quite the struggle to complete her lovely Christmas cards in time and decided that it was just to much work to cram into the few months before the Christmas rush. She decided that she would challenge herself to make two cards each month so that when the time came she would have at least 22 cards ready. Along the way the group of us joined her and we now create a fun small hop each month to share our creations and hopefully give some inspiration to everyone who follows along each month.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;">If you have arrived here from the talented </span><a href="http://www.maryshappyplace.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #171d7c; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Mary`s Blog</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Cherry Cream Soda'; line-height: 18px;"> you are in the right place.

It sure does not feel like it now its getting warmer and the sun is shining I sure like the Sun more then the snow but I guess everything in moderation is great :).<br />
<br />
Well if you are a regular follower of our monthly hop then you know the drill but if you are just stopping by then here is a quick overview of what we do each month.<br />
<br />
2 Christmas ago my great friend Shari was having quite the struggle to complete her lovely Christmas cards in time and decided that it was just to much work to cram into the few months before the Christmas rush. She decided that she would challenge herself to make two cards each month so that when the time came she would have at least 22 cards ready. Along the way the group of us joined her and we now create a fun small hop each month to share our creations and hopefully give some inspiration to everyone who follows along each month.<br />
<br />
If you have arrived here from the talented <a href="http://www.maryshappyplace.com/" target="_blank">Mary`s Blog</a> you are in the right place. If you have just happened upon my blog or are here for a visit and want to start from the beginning please head over to my very talented friend <a href="http://sharispinkpalace.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Shari`s Blog</a><br />
<br />
This year we are challenging our selves to create two cards or projects following a given theme for the moth.<br />
<br />
This month we were creating our creations by using the following photo inspiration.<br />

<br />
Last year my great friend Shari and her bff challenged themselves to create 2 cards one with a colour medium and one using die cuts and punches and that was the beginning and formation of our lovely group of ladies. We all decided we were tired of rushing to create our Christmas cards each year. This year we have challenged our selves to create two cards or projects that follow a specific theme that is given for each month. This month's theme is Mainly Green.<br />
<br />
Before we get to my cards if you have arrived here from friend <a href="http://www.maryshappyplace.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Mary's</span></a> Blog then you are in the right place if you have just happened upon my blog and would like to start from the beginning then please head over to my very great friend <a href="http://sharispinkpalace.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #274e13;">Shari's</span></a> blog. If you happen to get lost along the way I will post the blog hop order at the end of my post.<br />

Each month we will have a Guest Designer join in our fun this month it is Sandy Smith she will be your last stop on today's hop.<br />

By now most of you are probably regular hoppers on our fun monthly hop but if not here is a little about us. My very great friend and her BFF decided last year that they were tired of the Christmas card scramble every year to get their Christmas cards completed and sent out in time. They decided to challenge themselves to create 2 cards/projects every month leading up to the big day to keep the Christmas card scramble at bay. Along the way we have grown to a group of very talented ladies, we get together on the 25th of each month to participate in a fun Christmas blog hop. We have kept our talented group to a great size to make each hop a fun and enjoyable, We have enough talented ladies for you to all hop around and to get some great crafty ideas but not to many to take you hours to complete :). Great things come in small doses. A list will be provided at the end of my post to help incase you get lost along the way.<br />
<br />
This year we are challenging our selves to make two cards/projects that follow a given theme for the month. This month it was Red, White + 1 other colour.<br />
<br />

Yes I know Christmas was only a month ago but we are dedicated to starting our Christmas cards early, never to early to get a head start :).<br />
<br />
If you are new to our hop here is a little about the hop and how we came to be. Every month up to Christmas we make two cards and post them on the 25th of each month to get that head start to the Christmas card rush. By doing this when we get to December we will each have at least 22 Christmas cards. This block hop started when my great friend Shari and her BFF Heather decided that they were tiered of rushing to make their Christmas cards along with getting ready for the holidays all at once. They decided to challenge each other to make 1 card using a colour medium and one using die cuts or punches each month. Through out the year the hop grew to the lovely and very talented bunch of crafters we have today.<br />
<br />
So last year we challenged our selves to make 1 card (or project) with a colour medium and 1 with a die cut or punch as I mentioned above. This year we have changed it up a little, this year we are going to make 2 cards or projects using any technique as long as it follows or represents the theme for the month. <br />
<br />
If you arrived here from the talented <a href="http://www.maryshappyplace.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">Mary's</span></a> Blog then you are in the right spot. If you just happened along my blog and would like to start from the beginning please head over to my very great friend/mentor ;) and the extremely talented <a href="http://sharispinkpalace.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #274e13;">Shari's</span></a> Blog.<br />
<br />
Also this month we have a guest Designer Nikki she will be you last stop on today's Hop :). Welcome Nikki so glad you could join us for our fun little hop :). Nikki has her own digi stamp store called <a href="http://limitedrunsstamps.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Limited Runs Stamps</a> . Once you have completed the hop you should head over and take a look.<br />
<br />
Remember to hop along to all the Blogs and leave some love for our very talented crafters who have made wonderful projects for us to enjoy.<br />
<br />
I chose to make 2 Christmas cards, I just started making cards last year around this time so I found that I didn't have as many cards as I wanted/needed this year. So I had to limit my love to the most special people in my life. So hopefully this year I can spread the love a little further. I also just got my own desk :) so i just loved making these cards with it. The desk was a big deal for me because I live in a shoe box apartment with my fiance, we have limited options for places we can move as he has MD and relies fully on his wheelchair. So for now this is where we live, when I started this hobby I was crafting out of bins and it was quite challenging but right after Christmas my dad helped with taking some major pieces of what we will call furniture to allow me to get my own space in the apartment for just me to enjoy and boy this has made me so extremely happy :D. I spend every minute I can sitting there even if it isn't crafting I just enjoy a place that is for me :). I will have to post some pictures of my new set up once it is all complete and tidy.<br />
<br />
Well on to the cards....<br />

</div>
Welcome to our 2 Months till Christmas Blog Hop... Yes only 2 months till Santa comes to visit Has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet? I have well sort of I saw a couple things that were on the list and grabbed them when I had the chance. <br />
<br />
Well by now most of you get the idea of our little hop. If your new to this hop then here is a little bit about the hop. My very talented friend Shari decided to start this hop to help us all get a head start on our Christmas cards. Each month a group of us crafty ladies get together and make two cards to get that jump start to the Christmas card rush. Normally we make one card with a color medium of our choice and one made using a die cut of some kind. But this month since we are so close to the Christmas season Shari has decided that the rules have changed that we just need post two Christmas creations of our choice. <br />
<br />
If you have arrived here from <span style="color: #073763;"><a href="http://www.maryshappyplace.com/" target="_blank">Mary'</a>s</span> you are in the right place. If you happen to come across my blog by chance and want to join in the fun please head back to <a href="http://www.maryshappyplace.com/" target="_blank">Mary's</a> blog so you can start from the beginning.<br />

So lets get started. I decided to do two colored cards just because I LOVE playing with my Copic's. Can you say heaven in a marker :) .<br />
<br />
My first card I used one of my New Magnolias ( another one of my Favorites i love my Mag's )<br />

My Step mom has a very large love for shoes our joke when ever she goes on a trip is how many pairs of shoes she brought back with her. She also loves shopping our family trips to the united states always includes a stop off in Grove City Pennsylvania, a little stop in Erie and obviously a stop at her favorite shoe store DSW before crossing back over the border. Well here it is :) It is one of my favorite cards I have made so far. She told me a fact she read in a magazine that people with a shoe collection/fetish generally has 30 pairs of shoes....I think she has almost 150 :)<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">A little back history for you. I met Shari two years ago while I was a temp at her work, our friendship started due to our Danish heritage and it grew from there. We continue to find things in common and as most of you that know Shari she is wonderful and caring friend ( as well as Crafty ). I recall every day for a month or two before Christmas 2011 Shari would come to work and place the count down to the big day on one of the white boards. She would also tell me about all the cards she needed and wanted to get done before Christmas and how rushed she felt to get them done. As we all know Shari LOVES Christmas and she tries to make everyone feel special and make each card special for each person. This Blog hop was born on the idea of wouldn't it be great to get a head start at the beginning of the year and at least get a few cards done each month so we all don't feel the stress those few months before the big day.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">This is my first time being apart of a blog hop and as you may be able to tell I am also quite new to blog land. So bare with me as this may be a long post and might have some glitches. I currently do not have much in the way of Christmas card supplies I guess I will have to start to stock up, so</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; line-height: 20px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; line-height: 20px;">I hope i have followed the rules. Both of my cards use abit of both elements required colouring and Die Cuts.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; line-height: 20px;">If you are following the hop you should have arrived here from </span>

She also introduced me to stamping and copic markers and I am in love there is no looking back now. So there we have it my first post :) .<br />
