Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was restful and relaxing thankfully. We got most of our Christmas shopping done and now I gotta wrap 'em all up! Hubby and I always have a marathon movie night w/ snacks and wrap up all the presents--we've done that since both of our kids were born, always fun! Speaking of gifts.....

In honor of my yummy blog candy I decided to use one of my most favorite Rubber Romance stamps with Audrey Hepburn on it called "Colazionne da-Tiffaney". Rubber Romance makes a great selection of Paris themed movie poster stamps & I lovee them!! Not too difficult of a card to put together, just lotsa layers! The image was stamped on Vintage Cream cs from Paper Trey Ink and I lightly colored some areas with my Copics. On her dress I used black stickles for both shine & sparkle. The dp is from Imaginisce and cs is SU. I also used white opal liquid pearls on her pearl necklace for dimension. Do you likee?

Hej Suzanne! Great job!
But you forgot my name on the DT list ;-)

Those are so cute! And I LOVE that Audrey Hepburn stamp-she's my favorite. My favorte Christmas gift was last year from my hubby. He had a HUGE box, and when I opened it, it was full of money! ($1 bills of course!) This was when Recollections was closing, and he knew that all I wanted was to go shop. ;) But at the bottom of the box o' money was another box, and inside was a beautiful pink sapphire and diamond necklace. We had just found out we were expecting baby #2, and we had pinpointed our due date to September, whose birthstone is a sapphire, and our 2 year olds birthstone is a diamond. So that was by far my favorite gift!!
P.S. I took all of my $1s to Recollections, because I never got to go to the bank, and I think they thought I was a stripper or something. ;) So I will never, ever forget that Christmas!
Wow, amazing cards, really really cute!
My favorite christmas gift was when my dad gave me a 2nd dog. I had been so sad that my dog didnt have a friend, and i knew he would feel better if he had a friend. The day before christmas my dad gave me my 2nd chihuahua dog. Really a jolly jolly day!!! :D

My favorite gift was a early christmas gift I received the 5th of december 2005, a little baby girl. We named her Eliahna, she is 3 year old now. Time really does fly, doesn't it?

Hi,very nice stamps! My favourite christmaspresent was last year,when my babygirl was born! She turns 1 year the 12 of December.
Gorgeous cards! Love Rubber Romance images!
My two kids are my greatests gifts and treasures, and my favorite Christmas gifts have been anything they get me.
My daughter was almost a birthday/Christmas gift...born between the two on 12/15 - will be 18 this year. Eek!
My favorite Christmas gift was two years ago from my husband. He gave me my cricut. He hates shopping for scrapbooking supplies but went out and got that. He didn't put it under the tree but made me think that he didn't get it for me. He hid it in the basement and I had to find it.
Thanks for the chance to win. Love the Audrey card as well.
Hey suzanne, what a nice gift to give away.
THAT you tube was fabulous. I think that if my house was like that my youngest would be in heaven!
Awesome card and thank you for the welcome to the DT!
Beautiful Cards!
I have so many favorite gifts but I guess a pair of earings that I got after my first daughter was born. DH was sneaky he gave me a Beanie Baby which was cute but weird. I didn't notice for awhile the Beanie Baby was wearing diamond studs! LOL He's clever like that gotta love him!
Beautiful creation! Love the candy you are offering. My little sis was born on christmas day, what more could you want, a lovely addition to our family!
Love, love her! What great blog candy and I love the card! These posters are some of my favorite from Rubber Romance. I love all the layers! My favorite Christmas gift was the love and support I got from my family one year when I just separated from my husband. That's more valuable than gold! Thanks for the welcome to the Design Team. It's going to be a blast!
My favorite Christmas gift has been watching my kids beautiful awesome faces on Christmas morning for the last 12 years. Now that my children are older they don't have that surprsed look of the past. I miss that will think of it each year going forward.
My favorite Christmas gift....I would have to say when my Mom got the whole family tickets to see the Rockettes, and it wasn't just for my family it was for my boyfriends as well. We all went together and had a great day in the city and even got to see a show out of it. What a wonderful gift!
Suzanne your RR card is absoultley fabulous!!! I love the liquid pearls around her neck, the colors and the embossing is all so perfect!
My favorite Christmas gift was a few years when my Navy son surprised me by showing up at my office (he lived in Washington DC and I lived in Phoenix). He and my husband had the whole Christmas weekend planned with dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and tickets to "The Christmas Carol" at the Herberger Theater in Phx. All that and he said he wouldn't be able to be home for Christmas!
My favorite Christmas gift...let's see, I would say it was the year that all 3 of my girls pooled their money and took a group picture. I didn't even know it was happening! It's one of my favorite gifts ever!
I can't wait to order these stamps, Audrey Hepburn is one of my all time favorite actresses!
One of my fav gifts was a starnecklace with glitter I got from my fiancée last year. I love stars and glitter and the fact that he knew that would be perfect for me was moving.
I have some candy too on my blog if you want to join:

Supercute card!!
My favorite Christmas gift was a pair of speed skates when I was a teenager. I was really into rollerskating and I wanted my own pair so badly. I begged and begged for two years for those skates! I still have them to this day! Although I haven't been rollerskating since my daughter turned 6 and she's 18 now! LOL
I'd love to win your blog candy!! Thanks for the chance!
What super images Suzanne -
My favorite Christmas was when I was about 10 and I got my Chatty Cathy AND a little dashbord car that had a key, engine sound, horn, windshield wipers, glove box - I liked dolls but was partly tomboy too and that Christmas combined both for me!!!
thanks for the chance to win!
and I love your Hepburn card too!!
Thanks for a chance to win. These are gorgeous. My favorite Christmas gift were some LMM books I received.
I will put the link, now.
Vanja
Oh, I didn't say why. Sorry! Because she's one of my favourite writers and these were the books I couldn't find here where I live.
Vanja
what great looking stamps! Well, I don't think that I have a favourite, but....quite by accident I saw what looked like my Christmas present from Mum and Dad this year!! It was silly - Mum was opening her birthday gifts on Sunday - including several envelopes that came in the mail...one of them turned out to contain Nestabilities!!!! (Mum's shopping not her presents!!) I had asked Mum for some of those and it looks like I am getting some this year - quite which set I don't know - but this could well be my favourite Christmas present - ha ha!!
My favorite gift was finding out I was FINALLY expecting (after years of trying) our first. It was a thrill to tell my in-laws while we were there visiting for the holidays!! jerryb17011@yahoo.com
I'm not sure about my FAVORITE but last year my husband surprised me with the entire West Wing tv show on DVD. We spent the next 4 months watching 1-3 episodes a night, which was great.
These are really great stamp images!
I got to email this great stuff to my family and mom's groups since I'm still getting MY blog up. jerryb17011@yahoo.com
I can't say there was one material gift that sticks out in my mind. I would have to say it's more of a feeling that is what I remember about Christmas. Now I see it in my boys faces and their excitement at this time of year. That is truly a gift.
Hello cute candy:)
My favourite Christmas gift was my lovly dog,because I love pets.
I don't have any brothers and sisters
and I have got a dog,thats my friends:)

Beautiful card! I adore Audrey Hepburn, I'll bet I've seen all her movies! My favorite Christmas gift - I had wished and wished for a pink ballerina doll when I was 5 years old. I don't remember ever being as happy about a gift as I was when I received her from "Santa".
Hey Suzanne!
Great Candy!
My best Christmas present was when I found out I'm pregnant!
Greeting from Anna
I LOVE the Blog candy and especially that stamp! The card is cute too. My Christmas gift was when all of my family was alive and together and not ill with each other. This only happened a couple of times and it was really nice. My grandparents and greatgrandparents were there, as well as my brother who doesn't come often. I wish it could be that way every year.
Jacqueline
Hi Suzanne,
Love the Audrey Hepburn stamp. I've always been a fan of hers.
My favorite gift, every Christmas, is when the family gets together without any disagreements and enjoys the spirit of the holiday.
Ann
Wow Suzanne, just gorgeous! I LOVE this card, and I love Audrey! :) You did a fantastic card, love the elegance.
Hugs, Christine :)
What wonderful stamps!
My favorite was the "Laurie Walker Doll". She was about 3 feet tall and if you held her hand and walked SUPER slowly she would sort of move her legs with you and 'walk' along side. My poor father walked all over downtown Salt Lake City with me and that doll the next summer on vacation.
Beautiful creation! Love the candy you are offering.
My best Christmas present was when I found out I'm pregnant!
My two kids are my greatests gifts and treasures, and my favorite Christmas gifts have been anything they get me.

Hi Suzanne. I just love the pictures of your home. Great job. My favorite present was a watch from my husband. He hid it so well (I am bad & search for them) and I was so suprised. Thanks for the candy.
My favorite Christmas gift was the year I think I might have been 14 yrs old and my sister sent me and my twin each a blow dryer. They had just come out and we usually didn't get large Christmas presents and in our minds this was HUGE. We couldn't believe someone spent that much money on something that all the other kids were getting and we didn't think we'd ever have. It was very special.
One of my favorite gifts was my cricut from my hubby 2 years ago and then last year my canon powershot. He knows what makes me happy!!!
But I think my most memorable gift was when I was abt 5 and I received a Barbie dreamhouse (with my twin sister) from my family. Something they couldn't afford and it was an extravagant gift for 2 little girls on an Alberta farm 35 years ago!!!
My favorite Christmas gift is when we can all get together for the big day! My family is so spread apart the we don't all get together very often and when we do, it's great! Merry Christmas everyone!!
My favortite Christmas Present? Just one....Does this sound cheesy...but getting the pics of the kids when they are opening their presents! Thanks for a chance to win this super blog candy!
Beautiful card - I love Audrey Hepburn.
My favorite Christmas gift was a picture my mother painted of my cat that had passed away earlier that year.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hepburn stamp!!! My Favourite christmas Gift was from a few years ago, my mom bought me a Christmas Tree Ornament of a dalmation holding a sign that says "Super Daughter" on it. My mother and I have issues with showing our feelings to each other, we never really have had a true mother-daughter moment until she got me the ornament.
Hmmmm, my favorite Christmas gift, not to sound odd or anything, was to survive Christmas! My husband and I, along w/our two boys were headed to visit family. Our SUV (according to the witness) lost a wheel and 'rolled over' 8-10 times. Kids were fine. Husband was purple head to toe w/road rash. I was the worst injured w/serious head trauma. I survived and was astounded with the wonderful family and friends that I had that came to our aid in our time of need. So, even though it was unfortunate, it was just a reminder of what is REALLY important!
Thank you for this great opportunity!
I love this video!!!
My favorite gift was my cricut, I get so much use out of it
Wow! Amazing stamps! And that Audrey card is gorgeous. My favorite Christmas gift were ice skates, because it was something I wanted for a long time. I had to borrow them before hand, so I was super excited when I got my own.

Great stamps!
I have two memorable Christmas presents: when I was a teen, I got my violine (I still play it), but I don't remember the year. And just before christmas 2001 I found out I was expecting my 2nd baby. That was a bit of a problem around Christmas time because I couldn't eat anything sweet, I had nausea all the time ... Bye, Kitty
My favorite Christmas present was the 110 camera my parents gave me when I was 10 years old. It has long since been retired and replaced with better models, but it was responsible for my love of photography.
How cute those stamps are. Lovely candy. Well i can't give you an answer on your question because we don't do gifts with christmas. In Holland we have Sinterklaas and thats similar like Santa and we celebrate that on december 5. And my favorite gift was when I was a teenager and I was a big Osmond fan and I Got an LP from Marie Osmond. I was so happy. :))

My best gift ever was last year when my daughter was born right before christmas. Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful stamps.

My favorite Christmas gift was a handbag I got from my mom. It was my very first one and I'm afraid it turned into an addiction. Thanks for a chance to win! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
Very cute! My favorite gift was a gift from my husband about 15 years ago....a gc for a Balloon Flight.....It was wonderful....I would love to do it again, even with my bad knees and legs.
such a pretty card. my favorite gift was a doll named pussycat that came with a wicker trunk full of clothes. I was about 8 years old and sooo excited to open her up under the tree that year.
Love the video and your card is awesome!!!! I love it! And what GREAT candy too! Let's see...my ultimate favorite present....that's a hard one...I would have to say it was the very 1st christmas present I got from my hubby on our very 1st christmas together 7 years ago....it was a silver Tiffany's bracelet...the heart charm chain link bracelet. I love that piece of jewelry!
Hugs~ Kim
gorgeous cards!
my favourite christmas present was the first thing my then boyf (now hubby) bought me when i was just 16. he got me a gold necklace with a heart charm on it. not very expensive (tho it was to us at the time) but it just meant the world to me :) sadly the chain later broke, but i still have the heart charm in my treasured memories box
Beautiful card Suzanne!
My favourite Christmas was when I was 12. My brother and I slept in the same room that night because my aunt and uncle came for Chrsitmas. In the morning when we were opening our gifts, my brother got the usual ones from Santa, mom and dad, granny. I had only had one from Granny and was thinking I must have been bad. Just before breakfast mom asked me to get something out of my room for my aunt. I went in and "SURPRISE" my whole room had been painted and decorated. I had a new bed, dresser, make-up table, new curtains, bedspread. It looked like a teenagers room!! I was thrilled. My parents and aunt and uncle had stayed up the whole night long, painting, sewing and putting it all together for me!!!
That was the greatest Christmas gift ever.
Thank you for this opportunity for your wonderful blog candy.
My favorite present was the birth of my son! He is a forever-giving present!!
Thanks for a chance at some awesome candy!!
Hugs, Melissa
Love your cards!
Favorite Christmas gift and why? I would have to say would be my photo printer! This is because card making is second to scrapbooking and I love my printer because I print out so many memories to cherish in my books!
Thanks for the chance to win such a great gift!

I love the new stamps. I can't remember one particular gift that stands out to me but just having the time to spend with my family means everything to me.
Would love to win this... My favourite Christmas present is my Varier Move stool, it is soooo comfortable and I had wanted it for years and years before I finally got it.
Beautiful cards!!! My favorite Christmas gift was a stereo when I was 14 years old! It had a record player and an NEW style cassette deck! LOL Oh how old am I? lol Dad and Mom also bought me a collection of Supertramp records to go with it, Love their music! Thanks for the chance to win your awesome blog candy!!
My most favourite christmas gift?...a dolls pram when I was 7..all to myself that I didn't have to share with my 2 sisters...LOL

I love those and I like your card Suzanne. I am a big fan of Audrey!!! My favorite Christmas gift was a huge Andy Warhol book I got from my fiance. Greetings from Slovakia
Love the Audrey card, Suzanne. What a looker! I don't really have fave Christmas gift. But one memorable one was from my Mom. She's "crafty" in a different way -you name it, she can crochet it. Last year, I'd been commenting about how cold it was getting for me in the morning (My commute train leaves at 6:56 am) and how I needed winter accessories - in California! So for Christmas, I opened up my gifts, and lo & behold - a beautiful [air of jewel-toned purple (a fave) soft chenille indoor socks, and matching hardy outdoor gloves and hat. So I could be warm and fashionable! See, some people really do want socks for Christmas!
WOW I Love the Audrey Hepburn...she is gorgeous! My Favorite Christmas Present will be this year. We moved away from home 2 years ago, and I get to go home for the holidays with my family! I can't wait! thanks or the chance at your wonderful Blog Candy!
Rubber Hugs,
Julie
Thanks for a chance to win some candy! My favorite present was a pair of roller skates when I was about 8 yrs. I skated all Christmas day and got the worst blisters on both feet! I got to be pretty darn good at skating. gslagle (at) nctc (dot) net
Ooops sorry, I'll try again..
My favorite Christmas was 38 years ago--our firstborn son was born on Dec 12, 1970 - We both had complications and we had to stay in the hospital, I never even saw him until day 5, we were both released on christmas eve to go home and yesterday, dec 12, we celebrated his 38th birthday..a happy healthy loving son. A mothers dream come true!

What great blog candy! Thanks so much for the opportunity... My favorite Christmas gift was a family gift - being able to take the kids to DisneyWorld last December. Christmas (and Disney) is definitely best experienced through the wondrous eyes of children!
My favorite Christmas gift was the game Sorry when I was 7. To this day it is still one of my favorite games and I still play it with my son and my nieces.
I just love Audrey Hepburn's classiness- great card, Suzanne! My favorite present was a gold bell that played Silent Night when you pulled the clapper. My great aunt gave it to me when I was 7 years old . 45 years later it STILL plays and reminds me of loved ones from long ago. Thanks for the chance to win blog candy- Rubber Romance rocks!
I love the Audrey Hepburn stamp...pretty card !!! Mt favorite Christmas gift was a ring from my hubby right sfter we were married.

My favorite Christmas gift I received was when I was a teenager my parents got me a jewelry box not just a plane old one it was a big beautiful one with decorated glass on the door to the area where the necklaces go . I was so thrilled with it that I cried as I had been wanting a nice jewelry box for a long time and this one was better then I had hoped for .
Thanks for a chance to win thses beautiful stamps , love your card !
I love the Hepburn card! Beautiful and classy!
My favorite Christmas present is one that I gave, not rcvd. This year my 10 year old son wanted to help some other kids have a nice Christmas. He picked 2 kids to adopt from the angel tree and we had a blast filling up 2 garbage bags full of presents for those kids. Even my 19 year old son went shopping for them when he heard that we had picked them. What a feeling of pride I had that both of my sons were so selfless and caring. We took those presents in on Wednesday of this week. My 10 year old just beamed with smiles as we carried those bags into the mall to drop them off. I feel so good this Chrismas about what we have done. So my best Christmas present was to help a few people who have less than we do and most of all to know that I have raised 2 very caring and very loving boys in this world that doesn't have as much of that as it use to.

that would have to be my cell phone i got when i was a freshman in college. It was a surprise. My dad wrapped it and put it under the tree and then called it christmas morning. i felt so cool. this of course was way before everyone and their children had cell phones!
Aahh! Can you guess what my favorite Christmas gift ever can be? Having Victoria on Christmas day has to be by far my favorite present! And then realizing that I now have two beautiful daughters... What a day! Life got topsy turvy but we area all healthy and well now.
Love the BLOG candy... she is darling!
