Happy Weekend to you!  We are continuing with our Christmas theme at Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge this week so I hope you join us and play along, just use the color GREEN on your cards!  For more fabulous inspiration and to link up your creation please visit Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge right HERE!

I used the branch and sentiment from  "Joyous Season".

For those that are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, do you have your Feast bought?  We are pretty much set here.  It will come a day early at our house due to DH's work schedule. 

Top Dog Dies - House Album

Hello and welcome to Top Dog Dies Tuesday!  I have a fun album to share today.  

I used Top Dog Dies Our Home Album Die and Top Dog Dies Our Home Album Finishers Die Set.

I added a bit of lacy curtain and some lights that I have had for so long I don't even remember where or when I bought them.

 For my second page I continued with the same roof and chimney.  I added glittered snowflakes and die cut buttons from Top Dog Dies Sew Much Fun Die Set.

This family photo is from last Christmas.

For my last album page I added the small snowflake from the Snowflake Trio Die Set and included part of the fence.

The photo is a bit dark but it's Stormagedon.  She just loved the Christmas tree last year!  I had to buy shatterproof ornaments and leave my treasures in their storage boxes because Miss Storm likes to climb and play with shiny things! 

To create the album pages I glued Kraft CS to a Taco Shell box cut to fit my die cutting machine.   Using food boxes are a great way to create inexpensive chipboard and recycle both at the same time!

I created three pieces of  "chipboard" and ran them through the machine ending up with beautifully die cut House Album pages!

Next it was time for decorating!  

I decided that only fancy lace would do for the windows.

Check out this chimney with the FABULOUS embossed brickwork!!!

A doorknob for the door and Christmas lights on the fence finishes off the front of the house.

Thanks so much for looking!

Top Dog Dies - Sewing Wreath

Happy Friday to you!!!  I am bringing you another view of the Top Dog Dies Madison Doily and the Top Dog Dies Sew Much Fun Die Set today inspired by SCS WT453 challenge to create a card with a wreath!

I die cut the Madison Doily in green, then cut the center out to form my wreath!  I stamped the sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers - "You are an Angel" in the center of the wreath and the fun of decorating began!  

Papers for all the sewing accessories were first glued to cereal box card board then die cut

to give them a chipboard look!  All of the accessories except for the buttons were cut from gold metallic paper.

The scissors are SO COOL, when using a brad to "hinge" the scissors they will open and close!  

Don't you just love that thimble?!! 

To check out these dies and many other fabulous dies you can visit Top Dog Dies Here! 

Thanks for looking and enjoy the day, it's FRIDAY!  

Top Dog Dies - Sew Much Fun

Hello! I have a fun card to share today!  It was Sew Much Fun to create with this Top Dog Dies set.  See what I did there?  

Seriously though, I really did have enjoy playing with this set.  The dies cut like a dream and make for a quick card!  Adding embellishments to this die set was great fun! 

 To give the buttons a little more depth I glued card stock to a bit of cereal box and then ran it through my die cutting machine.  

 A bit of paper piecing, pearls, ribbon and fiber completed the dress form!

A bit of embroidery floss from my cross stitching days made topped off the spool.

On the inside I used a sentiment from Mark's Finest Papers "I'm in Stitches" and the sewing machine die.
