Christmas Cheer

Yup, it's Halloween and what am I posting?  Christmas cards!  That's because it's time for another 'Tis The Season sketch challenge and the optional trimming that goes along with the sketch is stripes.  I love this sketch because it's so clean and simple.  I've made four cards again with a similar design on each one.








And the final pic of all of them together.



Don't forget to check out all the other lovely designs using this sketch HERE and to play along if you get a chance! :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Sponged Field Flowers x 2

Today I have a couple of cards to show you, or should I say one card made with two different colors.  Does that even make sense? lol  Anyway, I started with this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch challenge to make a sympathy card.  Since I also love the colors on this month's Stampin' Celebration challenge I figured I could combine them.  However when I was done with my card I thought it was just too dark for a sympathy card.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE the colors, just wasn't sure if they were right for that kind of card.  So I made it into a thank you card instead, and it's going to a fellow demo.  Hope she likes it. ;)  Since I still needed a sympathy card I figured I could just change up the colors to lighten it up...so that's what I did.  You can see that one at the bottom of this post. :)  Not sure which one I like better...









Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Christmas Cheer in July

For today's card I thought I'd look through the blog challenges I follow and make a card using one of them since I haven't done any in a while.  Well, I ended up picking two.  For my theme I used this week's Friday Mashup...make a card using a Christmas/Hanukkah Project with Stripes.  For my sketch I used this week's challenge from the Paper Craft Crew.  The colors are a little different than normal for Christmas, but that's what I wanted, and boy did I have a bugger of a time getting a picture to come out looking nice between the gold embossed ornaments and the smooch spritz I used! lol






Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Convention Swaps

Today I am in Salt Lake City, Utah for my first Stampin' Up! convention so I thought I'd show you the cards I made to swap.  All I can say is I was crazy to make this card!  When I made regional cards I was able to whip up 30 cards in 2 1/2 hours, but not this time!  Too many steps, but once I come up with an idea that I like there's no changing my mind.  So here's my stack...


And one up close in the pile.
