Evergreen at Night

Welcome to the last Red Hot Stampers challenge for 2012!  Wow, did I have to think about the sketch this time.  I was trying to figure out what to do with it after I printed it out when I saw the sketch upside down where I left the sheet lying.  An idea came to me instantly then...pine trees in the moon light. :)   Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot Stampers made here using this same sketch...and remember we have a special gift for you this month!

Snowflake Soiree Christmas

Well I've been taking a break from blogging this Christmas season, but that doesn't mean I wasn't still busy working on things.  This is one of the cards I made when my dad came to me a week or so before Christmas and asked if I would make a card for my mom, and I said I'd be glad to.  I actually didn't procrastinate too much on this one either...amazing!  Since her favorite color is blue I decided to use a few different colors of blue and blend (sponge) them together using the emboss resist technique.  I've already done a couple of cards with this technique lately, but really liked a card my stamping friend Christi made and wanted to add some "swirls" in with a darker blue like she did.  I love how it turned out!    



I'm also entering it into the Friday Mashup challenge #90.  This week's theme is "Snowflakes" and/or colors Whisper White, Pool Party, Midnight Muse and Basic Black.  Super close on the colors for making the card over a week ago!  



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Celebrate!

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge card.  It's been a while since I've made a masculine card so I decided to make a simple one using something from the Sale-A-Bration brochure which can be earned starting January 22. :)  Plus I just needed a break from all the Christmas cards I've been making!  Remember to head over to the Red Hot Stampers' blog here to see what  other cards were made using this sketch.   





Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Merry!

I'm finally back to posting another card.  Let's just say I can't wait until I open my present at Christmas...my own hand selected laptop!  Yeah!!!  I'm hoping that will make my whole downloading pics process easier. :)  Plus no more stealing the other laptop when someone else is on it, and hopefully no more troubles downloading the pics from my memory card!  
I made today's card for a couple of reasons...  I needed a card to give to my upline for helping me out of a jam again and again (I know it doesn't say thank you, but that's what we demos do).  Plus I wanted to enter another sketch challenge, so I used Saturday Sketch challenge 9 over at Stamping and Blogging.  By the way I think I'm a little hooked on these colors.  I love how they look together! 


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
