Christmas Blessings

Well, the snow has finally starting melting here in Michigan and what am I posting?  A card with snow! lol  It's time for another Christmas card for this week's 'Tis the Season challenge blog, so I have a good excuse.  I've made a few different cards using this same concept...pine trees in the snow with the sun or moon behind them.  I don't think I'll ever get tired of it though.  Today's card's colors gave me another excuse to create lovely scene. :)  Stop by 'Tis the Season HERE to see what the other designers have created and play along to get a head start on your Christmas cards for 2014...it will be here before you know it!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Masculine Serene Silhouettes

Hi, Everyone.  Yes, I've been a little lazy about posting lately.  Last week was SO busy, so this week I've been taking it a little easier.  Good thing I'm involved in a few challenges or I might not get around to posting at all!  Since it's Friday, that means we have another mashup for you over at the Friday Mashup, and this week it's from Holly.  Let's check it out...

Create a "Masculine" project.

Create a project with some "Stitching/sewing on it".

or Create a "Masculine project with Stitching on it".

I had a little help with a Red Hot color challenge and this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch challenge.  I have to admit it's kind of hard to make a manly card with pink on it.  I really like how it turned out though, but I'm not to sure my hubby was impressed! lol  He actually said it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't his usual response to my cards.  Guess I'm lucky he has any response at all since I've heard some husbands don't really care. lol

Don't forget to check out what the rest of the design team made and play along HERE!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Think Spring with Fabulous Florets

So glad it's Friday!  Does anyone else feel that way?  Today's card is for this week's Friday Mashup challenge from Cindy and is all about spring!  Not sure I know what that is anymore since we've been dealing with SO much snow here in Michigan. I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever come! lol  I do enjoy winter, so I don't think it's bothered me nearly as much as it has most people in this area.  Since we're talking about spring let's see the mashup Cindy has for us...

Create a project that's "Monochromatic".

Create a project with "Flowers".

or Create a "Monochromatic project with Flowers". 

I guess since the picture had pink flowers I went with pink.  I used a set that's been sitting around for a while...Fabulous Florets.  I love this set and will probably never get rid of it even when it retires, which I hope it doesn't for a while!  Make sure you check out all the other great cards from the Friday Mashup design team HERE.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

'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!

The Open Sea

It's Tuesday so that means it's time for a Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch challenge.  Another great challenge this week.  Since I needed a masculine card for this month's stamp a stack I used the sketch to make up my card.  Love the set The Open Sea!  There's SO much you can do with it. 

Don't forget to check out all the other great cards using this sketch HERE.  And make sure you play along if you get the chance!

Are you Hungry?

Are you hungry?  I'm not at the moment, but having a juicy burger off the grill on a warm summer day sounds good!  It makes me think of the 4th of July for some reason.  I actually made these cards for my nephews' birthdays.  I usually change up their cards a little bit, but wasn't sure how to change up this one.  I have to admit I didn't come up with the burger on my own at all.  I didn't copy any specific person's card, just looked at a bunch of different cards that had hamburgers and put these together using what I liked from all the different punch art hamburgers.  My card design is from another Red Hot Stamper challenge.  Not what I normally do, but I still think they turned out cute enough for my nephews. :)

Thanks for looking and  have a great day!
