RHSSC - Elements of Style

It's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge card, and since it's been so snowy in our area I though I'd do something with flowers to remind me that spring is coming.  I must say though I do love snow!  Why I love it when I hate being cold confuses even me! lol   This is a pretty clean and simple card, but I can't take credit for the "Two-tone Tearing" idea.  I saw it over on France's blog here and had to give it a try myself.  So simple to do and I love the idea.  Don't forget that this is the last week of January's blog candy give away for those that make a card using our sketch.  Head on over to the Red Hot Stampers blog here to check out the other cards made with this week's design and see what you can win if you play!

 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Feeling Sentimental

Today's card is the masculine card we made at this month's stamp a stack.  This stamp (and set) is definitely my favorite freebie you can get from this year's Sale-a-bration. :)

Happy Hello

Today I have a couple of cards to show you that I earned as freebies from Sale-a-bration.  I added just a bit to them and had the ladies put them together at this month's stamp a stack.  I think they turned out pretty cute. :)

RHSSC - Snowflake Soiree

Welcome to another card for the Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  This week's sketch was another simple one. :)  Since we're supposed to be getting snow this coming week I thought I'd make another card with snowflakes.  Since I haven't used Marina Mist in quite a while I thought it was time to pull it out again.  Yup, a perfect color to go with snowflakes. 

Remember that we are giving out blog candy for those that participate in this month's Red Hot challenge.  Head over to the Red Hots' blog here to see what we're giving away and to see what everyone else made with this week's sketch.

Love You!

Well, I must confess it's been a while since I posted on my blog.  I haven't given up stamping, just busy making projects I can't show until the beginning in February!

  So today's card was nice and simple for me to do.  Rachel gave us a break after last week's challenge...whew! ;)  Since Valentine's is the next "holiday" I thought I'd do something with a few hearts.  

Just a reminder that we are giving away BLOG CANDY over at the Red Hot Stampers!  Everyone who participates in the sketch challenges for January will be entered into a drawing. On February 1st the winner of the January Blog Candy will be announced. What is the blog candy? Why a FREE Double “D” Bow Maker of course! (sorry but only US participants)

Need for Speed!

I don't know about anyone else, but cards for teenage guys always seem to be my biggest challenge.  This is what I ended up making for my cousin's teenage son for his birthday this year.  I definitely went searching for some ideas for this set and ended up liking this card here made my Narelle H.  I really liked the layered squares with portions of the car in it, so my idea went from there...

Happy Birthday to my Niece!

Today I want to show you a cute little card and purse I gave my niece for her b-day.  It's been a tradition with both of my nieces for a few years now to make them purses for their birthdays.  I also tucked a $1 bill (yup, still cheap) and a pack of gum in it with the card.  We gave it to her at church yesterday and she came and told me after church that she got it.  Just thought it was so cute when she came up to me with a big smile and told me. :)
