Let It Snow

 Hello! I'm back with another card for Christmas Card Challenges, it's the last challenge of the month so it's Anything Goes!

 

 

I decided to go for a quick no-stamping card using my favorite Simple Stories: Handmade Holiday papers. I added some clear Rock Candy mixed with a little bit of Stickles and added it to the snow. Chunky and sparkly : ) Some MME baker's twine and CTMH pearls finish it off!

 

Thanks for looking!

Friends Are The Gift

Hello! I'm so excited to share my latest card for Christmas Card Challenges. Our optional challenge for this week is to make a 1 layer card.

 

 

 

Amy Rysavy colored on kraft cardstock with her copics in a couple of her cards in her 2013 Christmas series and I loved the look. I thought a 1 layer card would be a great way to try my hand at it! I stamped this super cute image from Tiddly Inks and totally love how she looks colored on the kraft. I used a prismacolor pencil for the white details. The sentiment is from AmyR stamps. a CTMH snowflake button and some pearls finish it off!

 



 

I'm also playing along with Tiddly Inks challenge # 124: clean & simple. Thanks for looking!

I Mustache A Question...

Hello! I'm just dropping in quick to share the card I made for my mom to give my uncle for his birthday.

 

 

My Uncle Dennis always had a mustache when I was growing up. It was so weird to see him for the longest time after he shaved it off a few years ago. He was the first person I thought about when I saw this month's Stamp of the Month from Taylored Expressions. So it was only fitting I used it for his birthday card. I printed the inside so it said "You're how old??"

 

I was totally inspired by this card Chera made for Clean & Simple's FTL #274. I initially had the mustaches as the negative die cut like Chera's card, but decided I wanted to use different scraps of my Webster's Pages: Recorded papers.

 

Thanks for looking!



Dazzle

 Hello, there's a new challenge up at ABC Challenges! We're onto D for Dazzle.

 

 

We are sponsored by Pink Gem Designs (they have a great sale going on now, just so you know!!). I colored this adorable image with copics and added Stickles to the hearts on her pj's and Stickles mixed with even more glitter on the heart. The paper is MME: Collectable "Memorable." I used Sketch Saturday #292 for the layout.

 

 

Thanks for looking, I hope you can play along!



You Are Unique

 Hello! We have another challenge up at Christmas Card Challenges, this week our optional challenge is Polka Dots.

 

 

This cute image and sentiment are from Paper Smooches. I love their sets, they are so cute! I colored him with Copics and added some polka dots to his hat and scarf with a white gel pen. The paper is from My Minds Eye: Lost & Found Christmas. I used Sweet Sunday Sketch #201 for the layout. The snowflake and sentiment banner die are from Taylored Expressions.

 

Thanks so much for looking!

Heaven Sent

 Hello! I made a baby card for a co-worker tonight and wanted to stop by and share!

 

 



Since I needed this card to be pretty quick I decided to not use an image that needed coloring (once my daughter sees me coloring it becomes a marker party!) The sentiments are from AmyR stamps. I just love that verse- so true! The paper is Webster's Pages: New Year New You. I used Deconstructed Sketch #133 for the layout, although I did alter the main panel to be horizontal.

 

I am really happy how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by!

Sorry this post is going up so late, I've had problems getting it to publish for some reason today....

 

 I'm just popping in quick to share my card for Christmas Card Challenges! This week our optional challenge is No Coloring.

 

 

 

I decided it would be a great time to use an image I've had for awhile but have been kind of intimidated to color. It's from Sparkle Creations, now that she's been inked up once I'll need to get her colored! I just added some felt snowflakes, sequins, and gold washi tape. The papers are sooo old that I don't even have the collection marked anymore, sorry!

 

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



Lovely

 Hello and happy new year!! I'm ringing in 2014 with ABC Challenges. We're on to C for colorful.

 

 

I used an image from Sherri Baldy, who is one of the sponsors for our challenge. I thought I'd try something different and used watercolor pencils and Derwent Inktense pencils to color my image. I love those pencils, but definitely need to keep practicing! The paper is Webster's Pages: New Year New You. A simple ribbon and button finish it off.
