Send A Smile 4 Kids December Challenge

 

The theme for the December Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is

I love you "Snow" much!

  

(Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.)

 

For this I decided to use a new snowman die that I picked up last year.  First, I needed to separate all the little (and I'm not exaggerating when I say little) die pieces.  I have a small jewelry nipper that works wonderfully.  However, when I snipped the little nose from inside the hat, it flew.  I had no idea where.  And my work table was so cluttered, my hopes of finding it were small.  I went through piles, I moved things around, I shook things, I crawled around on the floor, I checked my shoes and then decided I was perfectly capable of cutting out a snowman nose without the die.  And that's exactly what I did.

 

It would be great if you joined the fun at the

BTW  I found the die a few days later laying on the carpet. 

I never thought I'd see that again!

When I first tried to order the stamp set that included this cute holiday Owl, it was sold out.  I don't give up easily and kept an eye on the availability of the set.  Finally, it was back in stock.  I immediately ordered one and just couldn't wait to use it!

Double Trouble Mixes It Up

This card was made specifically for the current Double Trouble Challenge #101.  I missed the last challenge and made it a point not to miss this one!

  My card uses 3 patterned papers, has a cute penguin (a digi from 2 cute ink), and follows the sketch at Try Stamping on Tuesday Challenge #539. 

Send a Smile 4 Kids December Challenge

 The theme for the December Challenge at

is Winter Cards

or Anything Goes 4 Kids.

 

I'm not sure where I picked up this Inkadinkado stamp, but  it sure looks like this squirrel is ready for some Winter fun.

I colored the image with markers.  The cricut cut sentiment is on the Artbooking cartridge from CTMH.

 It would be great if you joined the fun at the

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #633

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

 

Here is this week's sketch:

My Red Hat gals enjoy really making cards.  Last week we made four Christmas cards.

When prepping the card kits, I made a few extra poinsettias.  One of them is below, on my TMS design team card for this week.

The flower is a layered die cut from Spellbinders.  I cut enough for 16, spread them out on the table top, and sprayed them with a spray mist from Tattered Angels.   I used dies from Sizzix to cut the Winter Wishes from white glitter paper.  Then I placed a few dots of glue here and there among the embossed snowflakes and sprinkled white glitter over top.

 

I hope you'll have time to play along at

Tuesday Morning Sketches 

this week.

Yesterday when I posted my November card to the Imagine That! SOTM Challenge, I noticed that Imagine That! was also having a 12 Months of Christmas Link Up.

By simply switching the image and large sentiment to opposite sides, I was able to use the Tuesday Morning Sketch above to create this card.  

 

The use of Red & White was optional, but I tried to stick to that as much as possible.  In looking for background paper, I discovered that I have very little red and white Christmas paper in my stash.  That is a situation which needs to be corrected.

This cute Christmas Dachschund is an Imagine That! digi. I colored this with markers and water colors with Gamsol.  I paper pieced the stripes of glitter paper on the sweater. The sweater and hat bands and pom pom are glue and glitter, the kind that goes everywhere.  My SIL has a dachshund named Holly, so this card will go to her.

 

Hope you have a great day!

Don't forget to play in these two fun challenges!
