Merry Christmas!

Today's card is for 'Tis the Season's challenge #14, and it's an inspiration challenge.  As soon as I saw the picture of what was supposed to inspire us I thought of all the different types of Christmas door cards that I've seen.  I've always wanted to make one of my own and figured this was the perfect chance!  It's pretty simple to make and the Hardwood stamp makes it easy too.  I was hoping to make three more, but I was helping my son do his taxes instead.  Hmm...making cards or working on taxes, I wonder which I'd rather be doing! lol  Make sure you visit 'Tis the Season HERE to check out what the other designers were inspired to make and play along to show us how you were inspired.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's card is for a great sketch over at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday challenge #162.  There's also a twist for this week, and it's bunnies and chicks.  I didn't do the twist because I don't have any stamps with bunnies or chicks!  Can you believe it?  Nope, none at all.  Instead I just went with one of the newer sets from Stampin' Up! called Vivid Vases.  I figured it was about time I put it to some paper.  I really like how it turned out, but I have to admit it looks so much better in person than it does in the picture.  I like how the bright flowers pop against the browns. :)  Make sure you visit Try Stampin' on Tuesday HERE to check out what the other designers made this week.  And if you have a chance play along and show us what you made. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
