My non-traditional Christmas card was completely inspired by my long-time blog friend, Lauren Bergold. I remember in 2009 that Lauren made
this pink Christmas monsta card, which I have CASEd for the current challenge at
Jingle Belles, "
not a CREATURE was stirring." This card was so much fun to make! I grabbed some pink scraps of patterned paper from my "baby" file, and I found the blue (with a splash of pink) patterned paper in my Making Memories folder. The pink card stock came from my Bazzill scraps bag. I used two Cricut cartridges: Elegant Edges (card base) and Mini Monsters.
The tree and border punch are both EKSuccess punches.
I never would have thought to CASE Lauren's card if I had not been working on my craft room purge. I have gone through all of my papers, and I remember seeing these pink papers. When I see pink, I think of Lauren. When I think of Lauren, I think of her ingenious monsta cards (as well as her elegant creations too!) She is my paper art idol, and I am her self-proclaimed #1 fan :)
Urge to Purge Days 10&11:
I did not get a chance to post yesterday (Day 10). All I have left [of Phase I: part (a) PURGE craft room to create space] is this bookcase:
I promised myself that no matter how tired I was that I would do
something each day, even if it was only a 5 minute task. That was all I could handle yesterday too: a 5-minute task. I started with those DVDs and VHS videos on the top shelf (far left). I moved the DVDs by our main t.v. with all of our other DVDs and I moved the VHS videos to our bedroom (the only t.v. with a VHS tape player.) Wanna see?
Now I have a little more space on the top shelf. Today is Day 11, and I hope to start going through some of the magazines and books on the middle right and bottom shelves of this bookcase.
Happy Wednesday!

You are doing so amazingly well with that purging! Wow! Rest assured that if I had more than a 6X6 area in which to scrap, I'd be right beside you, cleaning, organizing, purging...oh my! And that card is stinkin adorable!
You are very creative. Keep on posting.
Ah, yes, the 2009 MONSTA card! A card that will live in infamy! And yours is right behind it! Soooo cute!
And no, I'm not joining your Urge to Purge, because I do it in phases. I gave away a ton of 12x12 paper to make room for all my, um, homeless 12x12 papers that are now ALL PUT AWAY! And I used a bazillion rub-ons with this week's SOS challenge, so yeah, I'm purging, just not so focused as you. :D
