JJ's Christmas Cheer


Good morning everyone and welcome to my blog.  I can't believe it's November already and only 36 days before we leave for Dubai, Ireland and then England and then onto Europe.  Yes we must be mad leaving our New Zealand summer for an English winter.  It's the only time of the we can do a trip like this with the boys on summer vacation.

Congratulations to our mighty All Blacks for winning the World Cup Rugby last weekend. Three times winners and back to back winners what more could a country ask for with only 4 million people in it.



On to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 congratulations to our winner and to our Top 3 cards, it was so nice to see more entries this week as we all put a lot of time and effort into our cards especially for you.

This week's Sketch 73
it's really easy and very effective.



Shots of JJ's Christmas Cheer in different positions as we all know what JJ is like!!!

This week we have one of our very favourite sponsors sponsoring us this week the wonderful Jodie Mackrell owner of 
Bugaboo Stamps.

Bio:

Everything that you ever wanted to know about Bugaboo Stamps:  As if raising 5 children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the work of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. Bugaboo Stamps has become one of the leading companies in digital images. From seriously snarky to sugar sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!!  If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampilicious.  And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for the weekly Challenges at Catch the Bug.

Kathie, your card is just too sassy. Love that charm, and great papers to go along with that image. It is wonderful that you are able to travel with your boys so enjoy it. My son is spending a lot of time with Grandma right now while he is at college in the same town as my parents. So he is visiting for meals and laundry, hehe. I'm glad that he does spend time with them.

What a great post Kathie at SSW2. I will have to share it with my son as he became a rugby fan while he was over in Australia.
Gorgeous card!! Your coloring is out of this world!!! Perfect little details as well. I especially love the flower and charm.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous of your trip to Dubai. It's on my bucket list. Gorgeous card this week. JJ is so sassy anyway and you've done a great job making her even MORE with all the extras on your card. I love the pearl in her hair and silver buttons on her boots! Have a great week.

Kathie,
WOW! Sounds like a fun time..I bet you are all getting super excited about you trip. Ken has been to Dubai many time for business, Ireland and England would be such a dream for me, I would love to go. My hopes are when Mia graduates that I get to take her to Europe...mostly Paris. Since I will use her as my interpreter,LOL!
Your card is just gorgeous! Love all the embellishments that you added such as the tree charm and glossy accents. Have a super week. Hugs, Heide
