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!

Fall Field Flowers

It's Tuesday so that means it's time for another card for the Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch challenge.  Besides the sketch, this week's twist is to use orange on your sample.  Since I haven't used Field Flowers in a while I thought I'd stamp the flowers in Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango.  Don't forget to visit HERE to see what the other designers made and to make a card yourself.  This one is pretty quick and simple! :)

Yeah, I got carried away with pictures this time since I actually liked a bunch that I took.  I don't usually get so many that turn out.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

FM - Love & Laughter

It's always nice to have a few shower cards around so when I need them I have them.  Yeah, I usually don't! lol  That's why I'm using the Friday Mashup challenge to get at least one card ahead. :)  This week's challenge is to create a project with the colors Coastal Cabana, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate & Crushed Curry, create a project with a cake, or mash them together and create a project with a cake and the four colors.  I have to say I always have a hard time putting these colors together so I added the extra bling of dazzling diamonds to make it sparkle a little. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's card is a clean and simple one using Freshly Made Sketches #109.  For some reason I wanted to make it in red and green.  Maybe because I've been working on Christmas cards and wanted to use the traditional colors since I haven't used them on any of my cards yet..who knows. lol

Can't forget the inside of the card. :)

Get Well Wishes

Today's get well card is made using the Paper Craft Crew card sketch #64.  I was trying to use the colors from another challenge, and after I got the card done I realized I totally left one of the colors out.  Not sure how I did that since I had all the colors out, but I'm not going back and adding it in that's for sure! lol

Baby Fox & Friends

Today's card is for a baby shower at our church.  I don't have any baby stamps sets except Fox & Friends, so that's why I keep it around even though it's retired.  I've made quite a few cute baby cards with it. :)  I used this month's color and sketch challenge from Stampin' Celebration to help me out with this card even though I did fudge on some of the colors just a bit! :)

Just a couple more pics of the card. :)

Let's Walk in the Wild

My post is definitely later than I planned since last night I decided to do a little updating on my computer.  Yeah, what I thought might take ten minutes ended up taking over two hours.  I was too tired to even think about what to write at that point! lol  So today I have a group of cards that were inspired by a couple of different challenges.  First I was checking out the Paper Players challenge #168 and it's all about masculine cards...CAS cards at that.   Then I saw the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge #171 and thought it would be perfect for a masculine card because it was CAS!  I grabbed my Walk in the Wild set and got busy.  

After making a card to match the challenge I decided to make three more...all a little different, but using the same theme.  

These were quick and easy to make except I left a finger smudge on one and ended up doing a little sponging on the last two cards to cover it up.  Glad most mistakes are fixable!! :)

And the whole set together...

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
