Happy Thanksgiving

I normally don't make Thanksgiving cards, but I made this one for a few challenges. Simon Says wants to see Thanksgiving or thank you cards and Cuttlebug Be Inspired Challenge #56 is for Thanksgiving. The layout of the card is based on the sketch for the Sweet N Sassy Stamps challenge at PaperCraft Planet.

Here is my card:



Paper: K&Co.
Stamp: SNSS Digi Harvest of Blessings
Accents: Cuttlebug vintage corners
Tools: Martha Stewart Punch; Nestabilities

Ring the bells

I finally managed to get in a card this week. This is going to be super short because it's really late. I made this card for the Mojo Monday sketch this week. The colors were inspired by the StampTV color challenge this week- dark purple, black, and gold. I would have never put these colors together on my own and definitely wouldn't have made a Christmas card in these colors, but I like it.



Paper: BasicGrey Wisteria; Bazzill cardstock,
Stamp: Very Merry Christmas-GinaK Designs
Accents: Brads, rubons
Tools: Sizzix, Nestabilities poseabilities snowflake, Star punch

Treat bag toppers

Life is still busy and crazy! I'm trying to get some treat bag toppers made for the Halloween candy I'll be giving away this weekend. Since I was making these anyway, I squeezed in a few challenges with them.

The first one is for Stamp Something - Halloween. I used a digi image from Digital Delights by Louby Loo. (I'm using digi images because there is no clean, flat surface to stamp on in my craft space right now.) I did some pen detailing and that's about it. Oh, I colored the image with my Marvy Markers.



The next topper is for the Digital Tuesday challenge to use kraft, orange and one other color. It's also for Stampin for the weekend - Fangtastic Halloween. The digi image is a Dustin Pike freebie.



I colored this one with colored pencils and embellished with ribbon and a brad.

Thanks for looking. I hope you are having a great week.

Things with wings

Boy, time flies. I have been very busy the past couple of weeks. I guess you can tell by the lack of posts. I have managed to get in one card that fits the challenge at Digital Tuesday- things with wings. My image is a cute bird from Victoria Case.

A Season that Sparkles

Right on the heels of Halloween and Thanksgiving will be Christmas. Flourishes is gearing up for a season that sparkles and issued a release challenge to make a card in that theme. Here's mine using the sketch from OCC's sketch challenge.




Stamp: Flourishes All Wrapped Up
Paper: DCWV
Accents: Stickles

I didn't get to participate in many challenges this week. There were some awesome prizes up for grabs but I missed playing because I went on a weekend getaway with my hubby for our anniversary (totally worth the stamping sacrifice) and as soon as I returned I had to go to work and worked three full days of overtime!

I did get in one more challenge. Here is my card for the Sketch Saturday sketch.



I left off one strip but I think it still follows the sketch.

The deets:

Stamp: VC digi stamp
Paper: Making Memories
Tools: Cuttlebug embossing folder
Accents: flowers, brad

Sing a joyful song

The digitgal Tuesday challenge this week was to make a card based on a music theme. I chose to use these cute carolers and make it a Christmas card. I based the layout on Mercy's Tuesday sketch. Since I went with nontraditional Christmas colors, this one fits the Little Paper Shop challenge too.



Stamp: Digi image from Squigglefly; sentiment Inkadinkado
