CCCB Week 33 ~ Blue Christmas

Hello everyone! It is me Linda again and I am your host again this week! With Christmas right around the corner, I thought it would be nice to do a Christmas card/project..... not just any kind of christmas card/project, but one with a theme! So how about a "BLUE CHRISTMAS". The minute I thought of this, I thought of Elvis. Do you know the song I am talking about? Anyway, for this week's challenge, we want you to create a Christmas Card/Project with a blue theme.... just like the one you see in the inspiration photo from A Creative Mint.

I am pleased to introduce our Guest Designer that will play along with us this week.
Tante Kathe(Majo), thanks for your beautiful card Majo!


Here's a little about Majo in her own words:
My name is Majo (a shortcut for Marion). Around the net I am known as "Tante Kathe". My husband and I live near Frankfurt/Germany with our two lovely cats, also pretty much known around the crop community, as Emma and Cookie are my favorite objects on my layouts.
I started paper crafting in the winter 2007/2008 when a friend introduced me to the fun of scrapbooking, card making and stamping! I found it was the perfect way to play with all the ideas that kept running through my mind. I am very lucky to have a supportive husband who knows that I love crafting. I started blogging 9 months ago, just because I wanted to participate in challenges, and since then I have met a bunch of wonderful crafters and had a lot of fun. You are very welcome to visit my blog (www.majos-art.blogspot.com)

CCCB Week 32 ~ My Cuppa (city - Seattle)

Hey all, it is me, Kirsty again, this week, I am taking you to Seattle, the original birthplace of Starbucks Coffee Shop. I've been to Seattle many times, the last time was just last weekend to meet up with my brother and his family, all the way from Singapore. If you haven't know yet, the original Starbucks was opened in Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington, in 1971. From 1971-1976, that first Starbucks was at 2000 Western Avenue; it then was relocated to 1912 Pike Place, where it remains to this day.

Here's a little about our fabulous sponsor - CircusBoard Graphics
CircusBoard Graphics is little shop on the corner of the immensely talented, bustling world of scrapbookers, both hybrid and digital. I began this shop to share my overflowing collection of graphics which I have sprinkled with my own personal taste and eye for design to be presented in a way that scrapbookers, card-makers and other paper crafters could utilize in their projects. I am a fan of antique illustrations, the organic lines of the art nouveau style and the soft palates of pre-raphaelite artists. I hope to offer a little something for everyone to love and use in their memory making projects.


Please visit CircusBoard Graphics today, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Kristy is married FTWM of 2 who has a hubby who not only loves her deeply but supports Kristy's craftng and her site as the IT guy. What more could a girl want? Kristy is an artist born who started out with pencils then acrylics and now scrapbooks and is a cardmaker. Kristy design things that she loves and hopes you have as much fun with her stamps as we do!
