JINGLE

It's Monday and time for a new sketch challenge over at Merry Monday.  Lesley has decided to go back to all sketches this month and that really makes this girl happy.

Take a look at that sketch! Imagine all the possibilities.

For the month of April I am going to use the same papers and colors for all of my cards. I chose 'snowy day' by Crate Paper as my paper as I love the fun non-traditional colors. Kind of remind me of Spring.

Along with papers by Crate Paper I used 'jolly holiday' by The Alley Way Stamps, My Minds Eye enamel dots and snowflakes by A Muse.

Please make sure and stop over at the Merry Monday blog and check out what the design team has created and also check out who our Guest Designer for the month of April is.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

I am also entering this in the Keep it Simple challenge to use snowmen on your card.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

merry monday guest designer - challenge #8

Yep, you read that title right! I am this weeks guest designer over at Merry Monday.

I am really enjoying making Christmas cards knowing that by next Holiday Season I will have all my cards ready to mail out.

This weeks sketch is just wonderful and I couldn't wait to get my card made. Don't tell anyone but I had it made within two hours of receiving the sketch from Lesley. *wink*

For my card I used paper by Memory Box from the "tinsel" collection, the tree stamp is by Stampscapes, sentiment is by A Muse and twine and crystals are from my stash. I painted the tree image with acrylic paints and then stamped it.

Here is the wonderful sketch that inspired my card.

I hope you will play along with me this week over at Merry Monday. Don't forget to leave me a comment here if you play along so I can come over and check out your card.

Enjoy!

warm wishes - winter dana and friend

I finally found some time to play with this new digi image by LORi designs  called "winter dana and friend". I just love her and had so much fun coloring her and making this card.

Don't you just love those non-traditional winter colors. I was in a mood for bold and bright mixed with white and some embossing.

I won't tell you how long it took to make this card I will just say I saw a couple of movies in the process.

Thanks for stopping by I am off today for coffee at Caribou, then a quick trip to Michaels to look for some doilies for my card making, and maybe a quick trip to Archivers to see what is new.

Enjoy!

Clean & Simple, Sketch Girl, & Limelight

I apologize for not posting yesterday. I had some cards done and just needed to get a photo taken of them and then do my blog entry. Well I don't know where the day went to, but I never got around to doing it so today you will see 3 of the 4 cards that I created.

This first card is for this weeks challenge over at Clean and Simple Stamping and it was perfect to use this new BasicGrey "cappella" paper pad. Sentiment is by A Muse and the flower is from Unity, and ribbon is May Arts.

This next card is for the challenge over at Sketch Girl and when I saw it i knew it would be the sketch I use for the card I am sending to my friend Tami's sister to welcome her new dog Annie that she recently picked up.

Papers used for this card are the new BasicGrey "max and whiskers", stamps are by inkadinkadoo. I had to show you the inside of the card too where I added some more of this cute paper and a little paw print.

My last card is for the challenge over at LimeLight PaperCrafts and uses more of the BasicGrey "cappella", Neenah natural white cardstock which was embossed using one of the exclusive european KARS cuttlebug folders, ribbon is May Arts, Stamp is by Endless Creations and butterfly is Martha Stewart.

I hope you enjoy these card creations and again I apologize for the long post. Have a great day.

Here is my other card as promised and this one is for the sketch challenge over at the Clean & Simple blog.

This card uses some of the new papers in the Memory Box "spearmint" collection. I love the colors they are so soft. I also used the Marvy flower punch, PTI button & twine.

Enjoy!
