LPS 95 & C4C65 & Happy Awareness

Today I had a chance to work on some cards. The first one I did for Little Paper Shop Challenge using their sketch with their cute owl stamp for a birthday card.  I tried to make this one a little more masculine even though I did put a bow on it.

The next card I did for Crazy for Challenges 65 using paper with Happy Holidays written on it by Paper Studio.  The stamp is by Inkadoo which also has writing along with the ribbon from Michael's.  I used the layout from Laura's sketch 70 for this week.

Cardstock: Bazzil
Ink: Memento, cottage ivy & dark cocoa
buttons unknown
border: Quic Kutz

The last card is one that I made for my mother who had breast cancer treatment last year to give to her doctor.  I feel it is the least I can do for her since she has done so much for me over the years, and I am so glad to have her still around and want to keep it that way.  The digital image is from McMahon on Mercy's sketch 101.

Bugaboo Christmas project & Mojo 166 & Kenny K Tag

Thanksgiving has passed and we are now heading on to the Christmas season.  Bugaboo has a challenge for a Christmas project.  I used the Christmas Mouse Cocoa image and put it on a Close to My Heart pillow holder for a packet of cocoa as a gift.  I used the DCWV Christmas stack paper along with some American Craft ribbon and some buttons.

For my Secret Santa gift, I have some socks so I thought this would be the perfect card.  I used the Maurice Christmas socks digital image from Pollycraft.  I added diamond glaze to the glasses to give them a nice shine.

The design is this weeks Mojo 166 sketch.  I won't get so lucky with all my gifts, it just worked out well for this one.

Kenny K Challenge for this week is to have a card with a tag.  I made a tag card two weeks ago with a chimney and Mrs. Klaus.  This week I did a criss cross card and a tag insert card with Mrs. Klaus.  Since I had this DCWV paper with kraft paper for my other challenge, I used it again since I liked it so much.  I used a Merry Christmas inkadoo stamp and colored it in with my Copic marker.

Happy Thanksgiving & Be Jolly

Happy Thanksgiving!  I am so blessed to have a wonderful and supportive family.
I wanted to sneak in a quick card before we head off for some holiday celebration with family.  I used the Skating Polar Pal from Krafin' Kimmie for my stamp with this "Be Jolly" stamp that I found in my stash.  I can not find a label of who made the stamp it is just listed as "Clear Holiday Stamp" that also came with a small Santa.  The challenge from Kraftin' Kimmie is to use kraft paper.  I used the layout design of Taylored Expression sketch 134 for my card.  I will also submit my card for the There She Goes Challenge which has a color challenge of Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, and White.

Gift Card All that Scraps

The challenge for All that Scraps this week is a card with a gift holder.  I used this digital image of Christmas Emma with the wreath.  I added some bling in the wreath and bow.  I used the patterned paper of Imaginisce the Cottage Christmas line.  In the center of the inside of the card is a fold in which the gift card can slide into.  The layout is using this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

CPS 91

The new sketch is out for CPS Challenge 91.  I was working on a card today that was just perfect for this layout.  It is using Meljen's design "Frosty Face" which was a freebie image November 15th.  I didn't use any sentiments on the card since I plan to use it for my secret Santa exchange.

Sparkly Birthday Greeting Farms

For Greetings Farms the Challenge this week is to have a sparkly birthday card.  I used this digital image of cupcake Anya for my image and colored her with Copics and with the Spicas.  I used the Core-dinations glitter paper which I just love because the glitter doesn't rub off on you, but it is difficult to glue to.  The yellow ribbon sparkles and I have 3 bling rhinestones from Me and My Big Ideas.
