Scribbles Designs #70 - Winter Is Coming

Hello, everyone! Happy Monday to you! I can't believe that it is already the middle of October! The middle of the month means a new challenge is posted over at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog.

Challenge #70 is - Winter is Coming - and we want to see some form of snow/winter on your creations. This can be a snowman, snowflakes, icicles, frost, etc.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I used - F #144 Snowman 1 for the focal point of my card. Snowmen are my favorite and this little guy is too cute!

I added Wink of Stella to the snowman to give him the sparkly look of freshly fallen snow and added black rhinestones for his eyes and buttons. I also fussy cut him and added him on top of the same image with some foam tape for a little dimension.

The sentiment is an old Studio G $1 bin stamp and it is a perfect match for this cute image!

Head on over to the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog to see the wintery cards from the rest of the design team. We hope you have a chance to play along with our challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you have a great day!

TSOT #350

Hello, Hello! I am back with my second post of the day. If you are looking for my Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge reveal, please scroll down or go here.

Try Stampin' On Tuesday has a new sketch posted today, courtesy of Vicki, and the optional theme is - smell the goodies.

I tried to incorporate the theme into my card this week, and when I think of "smell the goodies" this time of year, I think of Christmas cookies. and what better cookie than a gingerbread cookie!

The papers are from Pebbles' "Holly Jolly" 6x6 paper pad and the gingerbread man stamp is from an old Studio G $1 bin stamp. The sketch doesn't actually have a spot for an embellishment, but I thought my card was a little plain without it!

Head on over to Try Stampin' On Tuesday to see how the rest of the design team interpreted the sketch. We hope to see you playing along with us - you have 2 weeks to play along and can enter on the blog here or over on our Facebook page here.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Have a great day!

Paper Play Sketches Color Challenge

Hi, guys! Happy Wednesday! I guess one of the good things about a long weekend is it makes for a short week! I can't believe it is Wednesday already!

We have a new color challenge for you today at Paper Play Sketches:

I took a little liberty with this color challenge and went more with the kraft brown - for the lunch sacks in the photo - white, and black. I love kraft and white together and the black just sets it off.

I die cut several snowflakes, using a die set from Paper Smooches, and scattered them across my card. The sentiment is from a Studio G $1 stamp set from several years ago. After I had already photographed this card I went back and outlined the sentiment with my black sharpie, and I like it so much better!

Stop by Paper Play Sketches to see the cards from the rest of the design team. Why don't you give this color combo a try? I would love to see what you do with it. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!

Christmas Card Challenges #11

Hello again! I am back with my second post of the day. If you are looking for my Lasting Memories reveal, please scroll down or go here.

We have a new challenge up at Christmas Card Challenges today. Our challenge it to create a Christmas or holiday card with the optional challenge of using the color challenge photo below.

I stuck with the blue, grey, and white colors, but my blues are more in the blue-green tones instead of the blue-purple tones. (It's what I had to work with!) There were two red snowflakes on the sentiment panel, so I punched out a couple of snowflakes and circles in the blue and white colors and covered them up!

I used Echo Park's - "I Love Winter" - 6x6 paper pad and ephemera pack on this card. I think it is safe to say that I have used this paper pad all up. I think I have four full sheets left - two that are red with white dots, a white wood piece, and a blue-green piece with snowflakes on it. The scraps I have left are almost too small to use on anything, so I think I'll toss them out, and add the full sheets to my random 6x6 paper box.

Be sure to check out the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team over at Christmas Card Challenges. We would love to see you playing along!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!

Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday #290

Happy Tuesday scrappy friends! I hope your day is off to a good start! We are finally experiencing cooler weather and I am loving it! It is so nice to have the windows open and still be nice and cool in the house.

We have a great new sketch for you at Try Stampin' - Or Not - On Tuesday today. This week's theme is "The Holidays are Coming!".

I used a couple of older Pink Paislee 6x6 paper pads for this card. The "sentiment" block is from one of the cut apart sheets from one of the pads. 

Here is a look at the sketch:

As always, you have two weeks to play along with this sketch, and you can enter either on the blog or on our Facebook page here.

Stay tuned because October at Try Stampin' is going to be a holiday extravaganza as we get ready for the holidays! We've got a lot of fun things planned for you, and hopefully by the end of the month you'll have a good start on your Christmas cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #80

Happy Saturday! I hope your weekend is off to a good start! We are still having some really nice weather, so I'm hoping to get out and enjoy some of it this weekend.

We have a new card sketch up at Sketch N Scrap today! This fabulous sketch is courtesy of Heather.

I just love everything about this sketch, and I know I will be using it again and again! When I first saw it I wanted to do a Christmas card, but when I was looking for papers I came across this Crate Paper Bundled Up paper pad and decided to go for a winter time card instead. The colors in this collection are just so pretty and just a little different than the normal blues for winter. To finish off my card I added in a few die cut and punched snowflakes with a little pink bling.

Check out the Sketch N Scrap blog to see the fun cards from the rest of the team. You have until the end of the month to link up to any or all of our sketches. I hope to see you playing along!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
