This morning while trying to catch up on my google reader I came across this weeks challenge over at Jingle Belles and my friend Amy is the guest designer this week!

Here is the fabulous sketch that Amy designed, which is perfect for all of you that love CAS as much as me.

And here is the card that I came up with using the sketch as my inspiration.

If you read my post yesterday I am trying to use up all my Christmas papers and embellishments before the new stuff starts showing up in a few months.

For this card I used papers by Memory Box from the "tinsel" collection, the cute little deer is a "woolie" by BasicGrey from the "eskimo kisses" collection and the sentiment stickers are by Making Memories from the "st. nick" collection.

Thanks for stopping by and as always your comments are appreciated.

I figured I should get these extra cards sitting on my desk posted before the deadlines since I already missed a couple due to my computer being on vacation.

This first card is for a couple challenges with the first one being the sketch challenge over at  ESS #107  and I am also entering it in a new challenge blog that a friend told me about called Raise the Bar and their challenge this is called Oh Baby so they want to see some little cuties used on our cards and mine definite qualifies for that.

Don't you just love this new image by LORi Designs called "Girl with Stroller". I love that you can give them any kind of clothes you want just by coloring with Copics or adding paper piecing. The sticker is from SRM and the flower is Making Memories.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.

Enjoy!

After all of our appointments yesterday I thought I would have time to create both a scrapbook page and a card to share with you, but as you can see that did not happen.

I haven't done the challenge over at Sketchy Thursday for awhile and this sketch looked pretty easy.

After I finished the layout I wasn't sure if I picked the right color of letters to use. I am almost thinking I should have went with black. What do you think?

Enjoy!

details:

paper: lasting impressions (snickerdoodle and sunflower) october afternoon (recess and farm fresh) neenah (epic black linen)

accessories: making memories (chipboard letters)

The challenge over at the Cards Blog this week was to create a mini baby card. The card could be no larger than 3".

Let me say I made several different cards and ended up submitting this one as my submission.

I just love this little onsie by Alesa Baker Designs and use it whenever I get the chance. The paper is by Making Memories from the Poolside & Greenhouse collection, the sentiment is a rubon by Pebblesinc.

Enjoy!

sunny days ahead

I have a couple of cards to show you this morning before I start getting ready for work at Anchor Paper today.

This first card is for yesterdays challenge over at 365 Cards and it was a sketch challenge by Sophie one of the DT members.

for this card I used Neenah solar white cardstock, May Arts ribbon, A Muse stamp, & Making Memories dimensional felt stickers from the "flutter" collection.

Enjoy~

BUTTONS

It is a snowy morning here in Minneapolis and I have a card to share with you. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew it was for me. lol

The Sketch Challenge is from Limelight and the challenge is to use this sketch and buttons. Well you all know how much I LOVE buttons.

For this card I used Neenah natural white & Pop-Tone orange cardstock, Making Memories "autumn splendor", bazzill, PTI dark chocolate buttons & thread. The flower is Marvy punch and on one of the flowers I stamped a hero arts birthday sentiment in sepia ink.

Enjoy!
