A Very Merry Christmas

WOW, it feels like forever since I've posted here...life took me in all different directions over the last month or so.  I wanted to get back into the swing of things so I thought creating a card would help.  It's a very simple card but hopefully it'll get my creative juices going again.  I am playing along with this week's challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch blog.  Here is what I came up with...

Here is the photo of the sketch challenge:

Happy Holidays...

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and spent some quality time with family and friends!  

Here is holiday card that was inspired by Karen's card from Altered Scrapbooking using an old sketch (#29) from Cas-ual Fridays.  I took it a step further by cutting out four more snowmen and adhered them with pop dots for some dimension.    

DP is from MME Wonderful Winter paper stack and sentiment is from PTI's Stylish Sentiment; Holidays. 

Christmas Joy & Cheer

I can't get enough of MME Lost and Found Christmas collection!  Here is another quick card...still keeping my holiday cards simple.  :)

Sentiment from PTI's Stylish Sentiment stamp set.  Added a bow and some rhinestones and this card was done!!!  :)

MME Merry Christmas 2

Here is another quick and super simple card using MME Lost and Found Christmas collection.  

This card is very clean and simple!  Just the way holiday cards are supposed to be!  :)

MME Happy Holidays

Here is another card that was made using MME Lost and Found Christmas paper.  

There wasn't much to do on this card.  I simply cut around the design on the paper, inked the edges, added 3 red rhinestones to the top right hand corner and adhered it to PTI dark chocolate cardstock...and rounded the top corners!  :)

I will enter this card for the current Jay Gee's challenge:

MME Season's Greetings 1

Here is another holiday card that I created using MME Lost and Found Christmas papers.  I am in love with this collection, in fact it was really hard for me to cut this paper. I made four cards from one sheet of 12x12 paper.  Will post the others later...still have to photograph them. 

Sentiment from PTI, Stylish Sentiment; Holiday and of course, red rhinestones for that Christmas bling!  :)

Season's Greetings!

Here is a holiday card that I made using some very old supplies.  This card truly signifies my "using up my stash" determination for this year's holiday cards.  The silver embossing powder is from a 2002 Stampin Up order and the silver shimmer paper is left over from making a friend's wedding program 9 years ago!  I always buy extra paper "just in case" something happens...I seem to have a lot of that!  :)

Sentiment is from PTI, Stylish Sentiment and I just couldn't resist adding the gems! :) 

HCBC Week 1, Day 5

Here is my card for day 5 of the Holiday Card Boot Camp.  I am still challenging myself to use what I have on hand as well as keeping these cards very CAS. 

I embossed the woodgrain stamped image with white glitter embossing powder.  I thought this would be a fun way to tie in the glitter reindeer from the border sticker. Sentiment if from PTI's Stylish Sentiments, Holiday. 

Here is the same card using kraft cardstock.  

HCBC Week 1, Day 3

Here is my card for day 3 of the Holiday Card Boot Camp 2011.  Trying to keep these cards very simple while using supplies I already have.  It's a great feeling to shop your stash!  :)

I wish I had smaller or various sizes of this color rhinestone but since I am on a mission to use what I have, I think these worked just fine!  :)

HCBC Week 1, Day 1

I am participating in Holiday Card Boot Camp 2011 in an effort to get some holiday cards done before the chaos of the season hits our home!  

Here is my version of the card for day 1.  I am hoping to use up some of my holiday stash as well as keep these cards very CAS.
