Reindeer Holidays

Hello and Happy Easter! There is another challenge up for Christmas Card Challenges. This week's challenge is Reindeer.

I used a sweet reindeer and sentiment from TE, colored him with my Copics, and added some Stickles bling to his hat. The paper is from Echo Park: Very Merry Christmas. The sketch is Deconstructed Sketch #95. Just some misc ribbon and pearls to finish it off!

Thanks for looking! Enjoy your week!

CAS Christmas

Hello! There's another challenge up at Christmas Card Challenges! This week the optional challenge is Clean&Simple. 

As soon as I saw the challenge I knew I wanted to find a sketch at Clean&Simple to play with. I know I've said this before, but their sketches and samples are some of my favs. I chose sketch #232. The paper is MME: All Is Bright. I used the Winter Rose die from MFT as my focal image with a CTMH brad in the center. The sentiment is from PTI. 

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a chance to play along!

Sweet Treats

Hello, and happy St Patrick's day! I'm back today with another Christmas Card Challenges card. The optional challenge for this week is Sweet Treats. Oh man, what a great part about the holidays... all the yummies! I love candy canes... one of my co-workers makes cookies with candy cane pudding mix, my mouth is watering just thinking about them, lol!

I chose to make a scene with some cute TE stamps, I just love these little guys and his candy cane. I used Bella Blvd Christmas Wishes paper for the card and paper pieced the tree. I added some mini rhinestones to the tree for some bulbs. Some ribbon and a snowflake die cut from the same paper pack finish it off.

Thanks for looking! All this talk about candy canes has made me hungry, I'm pretty sure I have some white chocolate candy cane Hershey kisses stashed in the freezer and they're calling my name!

This card also qualifies for the ABC Christmas Challenge with ribbon, animals, and a die cut.

Simply Fabulous

Hello, TGIF!! After this week of no sleep and sick kiddos, I am so so ready for the weekend!

I did get some stamping time in though, which is good because it's time for another ABC Challenge: J for just as you like! 

I used this cute lady from The Paper Shelter, who is one of the sponsors for this challenge! I colored her with my Copics and added some spica glitter pen in some spots. The sentiment is from Verve. Even though our challenge is an anything goes, I decided to interpret it as "just as something you like but don't do much of" I love the cards the ladies at Clean&Simple make and decided to play along with sketch #231, although I did add some ribbon. Just one piece of MME Meadowlark paper and some Prima flowers finish it off.

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Season's Greetings

Hello! We have a great sketch at Christmas Card Challenges today. Check out the challenge blog for the sketch and get out your winter stamps to play along!

I colored this cute CTMH snowman with Prismacolor pencils and added Stickles to the snow. The paper is WeRMemoryKeepers Winter Frost. The sentiment and brads are also CTMH, some ribbon from a past KI kit finishes it off!

I'm also playing along with the ABC Christmas Challenge: Bingo (Glitter, Blue, Ribbon)

Thanks for looking!

Be Still

Hello! Sunday wasn't a great day for me. Not to drag you into the pity party, lol, but I definitely needed some stamp therapy. I thought this stamp from Verve was great to reflect on while I was unwinding. It definitely worked and I'm happy with how the card turned out!

I used Deconstructed Sketch #91 for the layout and MME's Miss Caroline: Dolled Up papers. Some CTMH ribbon and Doodlebug pearls finish it off. 

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Greetings

Hello! I hope you're having a good weekend, Bailey and I are on our own this weekend while Caleb and Patrick have a boy's weekend for a wrestling tournament. I am taking a break from Princesses and Diego & Dora to quick post my card for this week's Christmas Card Challenge- Anything Goes.

I know I've mentioned before that I like to keep the cards I'm going to mail simple and fairly flat. I love the sketches at Clean&Simple, because honestly, by brain always tries to add too much if I try to do my own layout. For this card I used sketch #218. The snowflakes are a mix of TE and MFT dies. Christmas Greetings is from Verve. Some CTMH pearls and a small strip of CTMH Aspen paper finish it off. I used some white ink on the edges of the PTI cardstock.

Thanks for looking!

In Love

Hello, It's finally Friday!! It's also March 1st, which means we have another ABC Challenge. We're onto I for In Love and we're sponsored by Stamp Fairy!

I used this super sweet image from Stamp Fairy and colored it with copics. I added my Spica pen to the hearts and her bows, but I can never seem to get it to show in my pictures. The sentiment is from GKD. I used the very pretty Echo Park This & That paper pack. I added some PTI baker's twine, a CTMH brad, and Doodlebug pearls to finish it off. The sketch is SCS's Sketch Challenge # 423.

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a great weekend!
