Warmth of Christmas

Hello this Sunday evening! Boy- I looked at my last post and wondered what have I been up to? Well I can tell you it has not been crafting which has been a bummer........... alas, this weekend I did get some things done. This week in the mail I got some wonderful yummies! This memory box "Mistletoe" paper- are they not beautiful? Oh my- so beautiful and festive. And them my ODBD stamps- I have been participating in their challenges and I won a week or so ago! I love winning, it always gives me an excuse to buy more. :) You know what I mean. And my beading, I tell you- keep an eye out at HL because they have these with each holiday/season and I have gotten some beautiful colors and I thought they were so appropriate for this card- don't you? This card is being entered into the following challenges: Friday Sketcher and ODBD Challenge as I used this photo for inspiration:
I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Hidden Message

Am I jumping around the holidays or what? LOL! Today's card I made a little special because when I saw the sketch I thought it would be fun to have the card be a little interactive. The house is stamped and then I used markers to color the moon and windows. The piece is not actually attached completely to the base, just at the top, side, bottom- to allow the piece with the tree to slide in.

Here is a better picture of what I have done with the hidden message. You just pull the tab and out it comes. The tree is actually matted and then I used a 3D pop dot to attach it to the base, this allows it to slide over the picture. All the product is SU.

Caught Hangin Around!

Hey! Here we are with a Christmas card, yep! I have made a few of these this summer in anticipation of getting some done ahead of time. Have you started any? This little guy is a High Hopes stamp that I have not used in so long. The DSP is from basic grey (figgy pudding). I colored the image with my copic markers and then distressed the edges with a tool and ink. That is the scoop- have a great day!

Challenges:

High Hopes: use favorite embellishments (ribbon/flowers)

Simon says: Get Dotty (dotted BG DSP)

Friday Sketch: SKETCH

Friday Sketch

Hello everyone and I hope this post finds you doing well! Spring has got to be upon us and so this card is one of spring and new beginnings! I am so ready to be working on colorful, fun and bright projects now. I am just loving this card, the sketch is from the Friday Sketch challenge this last week which is being hosted by my friend Claudia. I actually ended up making a couple cards with this sketch and paper just becaue it was so much fun! I made this particular one into a birthday card, using the birthstone for March which is aquamarine for the Saturday Spotlight Challenge. The DSP is one of SU and I honestly should keep the papers in the label package because I forget the names.. but it just reminded me of spring and the ODBD challenge is spring and new life.

That is all for me today! Have a good one.

Oh my......... what do you think? I am loving this card, the paper is so yummy, the colors are scrumptious, and the sketch? Well it is so sweeeeeeeeeet! This is for Friday Sketch Challenge and I just love everything about it. The image is Tilda Jam and I thought she would be a cute little Christmas girl. The paper...... Oh yeah, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses!

Ok, and I am sorry to enable you all but I can not help myself..... is this not the cutest snowman and Angel you have ever seen? They are a couple of the new Christmas Magnolia's and are on PRE-ORDER right now at 7kids so don't forget to get yours ordered!






THEN, AS IF that is not enough- High Hope Stamps are available at 7kids as well and Tab is taking orders. So basically go to www.highhopesstamps.com and find the ones you want and then email her your order! Let her know I sent you.

Thankful

Oh I had to participate in the Friday Sketcher Blog Challenge this week as the sketch is so cute. I colored this sweet little Hanglar some time ago using my earth tone copic markers and it has been waiting for some DSP. I thought the ribbon which I got for $1 at Mike's some time ago was perfect coloring. I am always working on my bows though- just struggle with them. Once I figure it out I can't do it again with another type of ribbon. Ugh............. anyways, I hope you will join us for this challenge.
