Merry Little Christmas challenge

 Hello All. 

Time for the September/October Merry Little Christmas challenge.  I don't know about you, but I love making Christmas cards. I have seen these card designs and decided to give this a try. Definitely easy!!!

My card is a little under a 5X7 folded so it will fit in a standard 5X7 envie.

Just For You

 Hello there

WOW!!! September is here and we are getting ready to welcome in fall. That means its time for another Birthstone Challenge. I decided to use a Sapphire color and I added a pretty holographic Stardust paper border as an accent (it reminded me of opals) .

The current Birthstone challenge is being sponsored by All Dressed Up, and even though  fall is around the corner, I just couldn't resist making a card using this cutie. This is Seashells and I have the perfect accents to go along with her.



Products used:

Seashells Digital Image - All Dressed 
Beach Chairs & Umbrella  - Spellbinders Large Die - Summer Vacay
Sapphire CS, Holographic paper, White CS, Black CS 
Inks - Memento - London Fog, Nautical Blue
Tiny Shells
Markers & Pens - Staedler triplus fineliner, Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers

Thanks for stopping by today. 
Hope you enjoyed my project and gives you some ideas. 
I'll be back soon

Life is a Song

Do you believe it!!! it's September 1 already, and time for another Love To Scrap Challenge

Love to Scrap 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! That about covers it all, LOL

For this card, I used stamps that I received in an older publication of Creative Stamping. The magazine always includes stamps and sometimes an embossing folder or a stencil. So I was looking around thru my saved Creative Stamping mag's and this one was begging me to use the stamps. So using some of the stamps I replicated the card that appeared on the cover of the mag. 

This card is a 5X7 


The stamps included in this mag issue are the Music and Song set by Stamps by Me. There are approximately 8 images and 11 sentiments in this set. 

Products used:

Stamps - Stamps by Me - Music and Song (Included in a Creative Stamping magazine)
White CS
Dies - Spellbinders - Ovals
Inks - Memento - Dandelion, Tuxedo Black, Angel Pink, Bamboo Leaves, Summer Sky

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
