Challenge #308

It's Wednesday & time for another
 
This weeks challenge is:
 
Challenge # 308
Christmas
 
This week the whole team got to use some wonderful images from
Lacy Sunshine. This one helped me get another one of my Christmas cards checked off my list :)
 
I went with the 'traditional' Christmas colors of red & green. But I didn't want them to be flashy or overbearing. I wanted more of a softer look.
 
Hope you like it!

Challenge # 307
Anything Goes
 
Can you believe it's only 19 more days til Christmas? Not sure about you - but time seems to be flying by and I feel like I am so far behind!! I have the next couple of Fridays off so hoping to get caught up.
 
In the meantime - I got to use another wonderful image from Little Blue Button Stamps. I just couldn't resist using this little cutie!! She's acting silly - just like I do when my grandkids are around. I love being silly with them - it's so much fun :)
 
Here is my card
 
Paper: the Paper Studio Holly Jolly
Color medium: Copics
Other Supplies: Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Circle die, Stamps of Life Mittens 2 stamp & die, Memento Ink Pear Tart & Angel pink, Color Box Robin's Egg, Impression Obsession Die 319-K , Stickels Crystal, Queen & Co pearls, Darice twine
 
As I was coloring I was thinking of what colors to use. After I got done I was looking for background paper and in my stash I found this stack of paper. I think it goes really well with each other :)
 
As always, don't forget to stop by and visit with the rest of the DT. And of course this weeks sponsors as well.

This weeks challenge is:
 
Challenge # 306
Anything Goes
 
I was originally 'scheduled' to use a Nikki Burnette image. But they were not received in time for our weekly challenge. So I instead got to use an image from The Stamping Boutique.
 
I hope you like the tag I created. As I was a little short on time, it's not quite what I had in mind. But I think given the circumstances, it turned out pretty good :)

Can you believe that next week is already Thanksgiving!! I have been helping my husband the last few days get ready for the annual deer hunt here in WI.

This week we got use Lacy Sunshine images!!At least that is one thing I like about these challenges. When I get Christmas images - it helps cut down on the cards I have to make...LOL
 
Hope you like it!!

Challenge # 303
Anything Goes
 
Well, I hope you got out and voted yesterday!
I was #1648 at my polling station.
 
Now on to the challenge! This week we got to use some adorable images from Lacy Sunshine. I had a lot of fun creating this weeks card. About a month ago I went on a scrapbooking retreat with my girlfriends. We had SO much fun!! And I got a lot of complements on how this card turned out. I must say I like the way it turned out also. I will have to make some more shaker cards soon!
 
 
I shook it up a bit and laid it down so you could see the awesome "snow".
 
Paper: American Crafts - Merry Mint
Color Medium: Copics
Other Supplies: Darice Bakers Twine, Your Next Stamp Circles w/Stitching & Piercing Marks die, Stampendous Fran-tage Shaved Ice (snow), Your Next Stamp Snowflake die
 
I forgot to take a picture of the inside. It really turned out nice. I have been trying to finish the insides as well when making my cards. I have tons of cards with no insides...LOL!
 
We have a couple of new DT members to welcome in this week. I hope to will take the time to stop by their blogs and check them out!!

Challenge # 302
Anything Goes

I believe this is my 1st time using a Digital Papercraft image. I picked out this sweet lil girl. She could be used in so many different ways! I put just a little sparkle on her headband and dress to make it pop. And picked some roses to kind of go with the background DP.  I hope you like it :)
