Feeling Blue

Once again I must thank the challenges that have called for Christmas cards.  This year I've actually made a dent in it.  
It's time to Pile It On.  This week the challenge PIO#33 is "Blue, Blue, Blue" (use three shades of blue on your creation) so how about a blue Christmas card.  Our sponsor this week is Krisi's Kreations.  Due to some computer issues I was unable to use one of the sponsor's images.  So please visit the site to see what they've got.  If you're a fan of templates there's some really good one there, including a "slice of cake".  I do love what crafters do with that one and I heard tell that one of the dt at Pile It On was going to use that for her sample so you can also head over to the PIO challenge blog to see some of Krisi's Kreations being used.  While you're visiting you can check out the rules (not much except the usual no back linking sort of stuff) and that's where you'll find the linky thingy when you're ready to show off your creation.

don't forget the inside
Here's the deets:
stamp - the Cat's Pajamas "Define Good"
ink - Memento "Tuxedo Black" and Stampin' Up "Brocade Blue"
paper - Close To My Heart "Aspen" package for cs and dp
miscellaneous - copics; mini brads; Crystazzi crystals; red burlap twine; present charm; sewing machine; polar white flowered soft

Here's the challenges:

The Cat's Pajamas TCPTUES171 - Christmas in August
Secret Crafter #147 Christmas in July
Fussy N Fancy #43 - Use a Lot (of your favorite embellies - bling and brads, I truly love the charms but 3 or more of them just don't look right to me)

Fab N Funky #85 - It's Christmas
Top Tip Tuesday #46 - Straight Edges
Cupcake Craft #154 - Sew Mad

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you'll come back again.  Now go get your blue crayons or whatever you like to use and make something "Blue, Blue, Blue" for Pile It On.  We can't wait to see what you create.
