'Tis the Season Challenge #11

'Tis the Season is back with another challenge for Christmas, yes, Christmas.  You'll be seeing a Christmas card from me every two weeks.   

We're on our 11th challenge and this time it's an inspiration photo.  I love the colors of this challenge.  Make sure you check it out HERE to see what all the other designers created, and to even play along if you have time.  I know it's the only way I'm going to be getting my cards done in time for Christmas this year! 

I also used a sketch challenge from the Red Hot Stampers group that I'm a part of.  I had no idea what to do with this sketch until I had to make my Christmas card...then I knew exactly what I wanted to do. :)

As you can see not one of the cards are laid out the same.  I guess that's what happens when I'm up too late.  I started putting the second card together differently than the first one so I just changed them all. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Ok, so I did one very simple thing for the October Creative Crew challenge...Creative Focus: Celebrate Sweetest Day (10/19) by creating a card for your Sweetest using products from the Etcetera Suite found on P 96-109 of the US Catalog.

This is a pretty basic and simple card for my sweetie on Sweetest Day. :) That's ok because he likes simple...maybe not pink though! lol

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Here is the Creative Crews Third challenge...Holiday Focus: 911 Remembrance. It's not a holiday, but it's a day that has been imprinted on our minds.  Make a project with the Big Shot that allows you to remember a day from your past. If you wish to share the significance of this day, we'd love to read about it.

 Since the 4th of July is my favorite holiday I decided to use the set Too Kind by flipping the flowers upside down to make fireworks. I Love other holidays, but this is one where we get to be outside to celebrate with the family. We start the day off with a parade and end it with festive fireworks. :)  Just a fun day to celebrate the freedom we have.

I must say I have a hard time remember or following directions or something.  I guess I just got excited when I figured out the flowers would make cool fireworks that I just plain ol' forgot to use the Big Shot with my first card...

  I did change it though and it was so quick and simple to do too. :)

Just a few quick stamps on the inside too.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
