A Christmas Thank You

 Hello! Is it beautiful in your neck of the woods today? It is here, but I'm stuck inside with a migraine. I wanted to pop in quick with another card for Christmas Card Challenges. This week there is a great sketch to play along with, check it out on the challenge blog!

I used some Mistletoe paper from CTMH and a bunch of MFT dies to create my flower and vines. The sentiment is from PTI. I used some Doodlebug pearls to add some berries to the leaves. This card came together really quickly, and I really like how it turned out.

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

Lace Butterflies

 Hello again! The kids woke up extra early on Saturday, which means they went to bed early that night and I finally had time to create a card, woohoo! Perfect timing since we have another challenge over at ABC Challenges: Lovely Lace. And we are sponsored by the wonderful MFT stamps!!

We have quite a few seniors in our youth group at church and I realized I need to get started on some graduation cards! I can't believe school will be over before we know it... 

I used MFT's leafy flourish die as well as a sentiment from a past Triple Scoop set. I decided to use my lace to make a butterfly, super simple, but I think it's pretty! The paper pack is Fancy Pants: Park Bench from this month's KI kit. I used Clean&Simple sketch #236 for this card. A CTMH button and misc pearls finish it off.

Thanks for looking! I hope you have time to grab some lace and play along!

Peace & Joy

Hello! I have another card to share for Christmas Card Challenges, this week our optional challenge is Things With Wings! This past week was so crazy, luckily I hadn't shared this card yet from the Christmas card class I hosted in November. 

The super cute angel stamp is from CC Designs. The paper and sentiment are all from Simple Stories: Handmade Holiday. I colored her with Copics and added some stickles to her wings and halo. A MFT snowflake die with a misc pearl finish it off. I went all the way back to Sweet Stop sketch #9 for this one!

Thanks for looking, I hope you have a chance to join us!

Vintage Noel

Hello! Sorry for my delay in my post for this week's Christmas Card Challenge... This week we want to see your vintage inspired cards.

I used some pretty 7 Gypsies Santa's Journey papers for my card and the great sketch from Mojo Monday #287. The sentiment is from Amy R stamps. Just some misc pearls and ribbon from a past KI kit. I used a MFT ornament die to cut out the cute kids and used a CTMH square brad to attach it. 

The Noel isn't actually double lined like on my card, I had a mishap with my stamp positioner when I tried to make it darker... oh well I kind of like it this way!

Thanks for looking!

Carpenter Bear

 Hello again! I'm back with another challenge for ABC Challenges. We're on to K for Kraft and we're sponsored by Bugaboo!  

Today is my dear daddy's birthday and this is the card I made him. He's a trim carpenter so this sweet bear was perfect for his card. I colored him with Copics. The paper pack is an old one from CTMH, so are the buttons. I added some kraft colored hemp to go with the kraft cardstock from GKD. The sketch is Sweet Stop #204, although I put my image on top of the flags instead of underneath.

As always, thanks for looking! I hope you have a chance to join us.

Also, the DT call is still open for ABC Challenges, check out the blog for the details!
