Merry Christmas

Hello and welcome back.

 Looks like it's time for the next challenge over at the Merry Little Christmas Challenge. The Merry Little Christmas Challenge is an all-things-Christmas challenge blog welcoming any and all kinds of handmade Christmas creations all year long! This challenge starts today, September 1 and runs thru October 15.  That gives you lots of time to make a project and get it entered.

Personally, I love cards that are different and appealing lots of folds etc., so this one really called out to me. 

I inked the edges to add a distressed look to the layers on the columns and also the Santa image.

This card is really easy and takes very little time to make. And to top it off, it fits into an envelope and is mailable.

Cardstock, some designer paper and an image and a sentiment with some cool folds and you have a unique card 

The stamp is from Verses and has been around for quite a while but is still available today. (He's is my all time fav!!!)

Well, I hope to see your Christmas project entered in the MLC challenge, I will be looking for it.

Thanks for stopping in and I will be seeing you soon

Thank You

Thanks for stopping in today.

Today is the start of the Love To Scrap challenge. The challenge starts today, September 1 and runs til October 15. LTS is a scrapping challenge blog welcoming all types of scrapped projects - cards, scrapbook layouts, ATCs, mixed media, altered items, 3-D projects, etc. - using bits of leftover items in your stash or new stuff! 

I saw this card on Pinterest and it really caught my eye. I have 3 cats so this was a winner in my book. LOL

There were no directions, but after looking at the design for a few minutes, I came up with my own take on it. And I used some scraps of CS in my stash to make these cute kitties. And I used a "paws" embossing folder that was a perfect fit for this theme.

The only dies I used were a circle and a smaller oval die. Cut some ears and the tails for each of the cats. Next, I drew the faces on and added some googly eyes to give these kitties additional personality.

Hope this card gives you a smile for your day.

Thanks for stopping in and oh,  BTW, submit a card to the challenge, I will be looking for your project.

Thanks again

Thanks

Hello and welcome back to my blog

Well here we are, July 1, and that means it time for the next challenge over at Love to Scrap. The theme is always - Anything Goes. Hope you can join in the fun and submit a project to the challenge. The challenge will be open til August 15, so you have plenty of time and I'd love to see your creation.

My card is spotlighting scraps I used from my never ending amount of scraps that I seem to never want to throw away.(LOL) I'll bet you can relate. 

I love flowers so I used dies and punches to make the leaves and flowers on the card front. The paper under flowers/leaves has a green foil design. (Sorry its hard to see in the photo). Also the papers under the flowers were not the size I really wanted to use on the card front but I decided to layer them to show them off a bit and as an accent to the overall card.

Hope you've enjoyed my creation and hope it gives you some ideas on how to use those larger scraps you have in your scrap drawer just waiting to be used. 

Have a great day and see you soon,

 Hello and welcome back to the newest challenge at the Merry Little Christmas Challenge. This challenge  runs til August 15, so you have plenty of time to get your project submitted and of course the theme is always Christmas.

Christmas cards are so much fun to make and the sky's the limit on the designs the we can come up with, don't ya think!!

My card below was  really pretty quick to make so if you have a few cards to make and don't mind making the same card a few times in a row, then this card might be the card for you.

The base card is a 5X7 (my favorite size) in white. Next layer is a deep blue. After that is another white layer that I embossed using a snowflake design. 

The letters are die cut using the same deep blue CS . Next I adhered the letters onto strips that are layered deep blue and a light blue DP. I decided to off set the letters for an additional interest. Lastly I punched out the snowflakes using holographic paper and randomly attached to the card front. 

Hope this will give you some ideas for your Christmas cards. I hope to see your project entered into the challenge.
