Fun~day Friday

Happy New Year everyone! It appears my year is off to a shaky start....I did my first post of the new year and never hit the "publish" button...oops!

So our sponsor this week is Bugaboo and our theme is Anything Goes! The winner gets 7 digital stamps of their choice!
The challenge starts Friday, January 8th at 12:00 AM (eastern time) and ends Friday, January 15th at 6:00 PM (eastern time). So here is what I created for this week's challenge using the Hot Cocoa Bear digi.

It's hard to see but the image is popped up. And isn't it just the  most adorable image! I used my COPICs to color the image. And I decided it's been way toooooo long since I colored with my COPICs. I need to use them more often :)

Cookie Exchange Complete!

So we did our cookie exchange at church on Friday night and had a great time! Here are the pictures of all us ladies filling the cookie tins to give away. It really is a good feeling each year to participate in this "exchange."

The tins are all lined up and ready to fill!
We all just grab a tin and go down the line filling it with all the goodies. Most of the cookies are homemade. We have some members who are in their 80s who still help out with everything too! And even if members can't come physically, many send cookies so the kids have a nice selection.
 And then a few of the ladies tie the baggies inside the tin with ribbon and pack them for delivery.
And then afterwards we have some fellowship time which is always nice.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fun~day Friday

I can't believe we are at end of the year already...yikes! I hope everyone has wonderful plans for the holidays, no matter what you celebrate. And I pray everyone has a healthy and happy 2016!
Jo's Scrap Shack
So here are the details for this week's challenge - the last challenge for 2015! Our sponsor this week is Little Blue Button Stamps. The challenge starts Friday, December 18th at 12:00 AM (eastern time) and ends Friday, December 25th at 6:00 PM (eastern time). And our theme for this week is Christmas Treats!

I used the Holiday Miss Lilly digi to close out the year.
I made mine to go with cookies for a cookie exchange I have tonight at church. It's not a real "exchange". Every year we fill decorated (and cleaned out!) coffee tins with wrapping paper and fill them with cookies. The tins are then delivered to local childrens' charities. One is a home for displaced kids...kids that have done nothing wrong, but had to be removed from their home for their own safety. I really enjoy making the tins for these kids. I hope it reminds them that they are not forgotten and that there are people that care.

Here is a close up of the card.
