RHSSC6

It's time for another Red Hot Challenge at redhotstampers.blogspot.com.  I had no idea what set to start with, so I listened to what other stampers in our group have been saying.  They just grab a stamp set that's sitting out on the table.  Well, the only one sitting out at the time was a new set from the Holiday Mini called The Sounding Joy.  I had to put it together first before I could use it though.  Love putting the clear-mount stamps together because they're so easy!  As you can see, I didn't go for more than three colors like the sketch suggested.  I don't think my mind could have come up with more than three!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It's time again for another Red Hot Challenge.  Today's card is for our fifth challenge and was a fun one to do!  Head on over to redhotstampers.blogspot.com to see some other cards made for this challenge.  You can join in and enter a card of your own too.  Since I've seen a lot of winter and Christmas cards out on blogs, I figured it was time for me to join in and make one of my own. :)  I have to admit I had a hard time coming up with colors for this one though.  Maybe it's because I feel like I'm using the same color combinations over and over again, and wanted to try something new.  I pulled out Baja Breeze and started adding colors until I came up with a combination I liked.   

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

In Wilderness for RHSSC3

Wow, I think it's been a whole week since my last post.  Between homeschooling and work it seems like my time is gone before I know it! :(  Let's see if this week goes a little better. :)  Anyway, today's card is for the Red Hot Stampers third sketch challenge (RHSSC3).  I really liked the layout and thought it would be great to use for a masculine card.  In fact I will be using it for the next stamp a stack I have coming up this week.  Oh, I can't forget to add that you can play along with the Red Hot Stampers at redhotstampers.blogspot.com.  Head on over there and join in.  I know there will also be prizes going out to two winners!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Mad "because I missed your b-day" Dog

Seems like I'm a little bit into punch art lately, but it's really only the second one I've done in a while.  I needed a card for my nephew whose birthday was a few days ago...and it was late! :(  I know he loves dogs, so I thought I'd put a funny little saying on the card for him that went with the dog.  This is definitely a case, but I'm not sure who to give the credit too because I saw a bunch of them out there...I'm just glad there are so many talented ladies out there making things with punches! :)  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Christmas Mouse

Today I want to show you some punch art I did for a swap with The Red Hot Stampers.  While looking around for ideas I saw this cute little mouse here and had to try it.  Wish I could take credit for coming up with this idea, but I'm not that good!  Kim has great instructions on how to make it though.  I did have to change a few things because I didn't have all the punches and used different colored paper too, but I love how he turned out. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
