Papertake 32

I used Sugar Nellie's Snowmen Choir for this card. The sketch was on the Papertake Weekly blog. All of the paper, ribbon, and brads are from CTMH. The background is embossed with my Cuttlebug snowflake folder. I just love snowmen!

Elzybells Challenge 4

This card was done for the Elzybells Challenge 4. The challenge was to use "inchies" or small squares. I used squares to build a snow fort. I added snow the the image with Flowersoft.

Ismaki 35

Here is my card for Ismaki 35. I used the Be Calm stamp from My Favorite Things. The secondary part of the sketch challenge was to use lace. I didn't have any lace, so I used organdy ribbon instead.

High Hopes Challenge 3

By the time I got to post my card for the High Hopes challenge 2, the third one was already out. This is the card I made without the correct colors for last week's color challenge, so I added some faux stitching and it now works for this week's challenge. The image is Candi Tooth Fairy, but I thought she looked like a Christmas angel.

High Hopes Challenge 2

I ordered my first High Hopes stamps this week, but they will not be here for a little bit so I played with some images I got in an exchange. This challenge was to use green, blue, brown and any neutral. Silly me, forgot what I was doing and did another card that had none of these colors, so I had to go back to the drawing board to create one that actually went with the challenge. Duh!

Bellaholics Friday Sketch Challenge

The Yahoo! group Bellaholics Anonymous has started doing Friday Challenges. The challenge for this week was a sketch challenge. I used Merrybella to create a holiday card. I sponged cranberry ink on a white paper flower to five it some color and used a pearl bella bauble for the center. I so love this paper!

A Weeks Worth of Cards

I got a bit of time to play this week and made a bunch of cards. The card below is a sympathy card for a family I am in choir with who lost their husband/father. I used a stamp set and paper from CTMH and a few pearl Bella Baubles as an accent.

This card was for the Bella color challenge on SCS. The colors are Orchid Boucquet, Autumn Terracotta, and Goldrush.

This card is with a new set from MFT. It is called a Scarf For Three. This card uses the CTMH paper Evensong. I totally love this paper. It is really beautiful in real life.

This is another new stamp set from MFT called Christmas Owls. They are so adorable! Again I used the new paper from CTMH called Evensong.

This card was also for a Bella Color Challenge on SCS. I used Golfafella for this card. It is for my DH's 40th birthday this coming Thursday!

I have been patiently awaiting my new stamps from Hanna Stamps that I won during the October Release Party. I was going to wait until they came to finish this "Pretty in Pink" challenge, but I got tired of waiting. It is Saturday and they still have not arrived. I am so bummed!

Well this is the end of my week of cards. I have a few more cards in the works that I have not had a chance to finish. I spent the afternoon outside instead. It was a beautiful day here today. Hopefully I will be able to finish them tomorrow or Monday. Have a great weekend!
