Just Us Girls #218 - Sketch

Maria, over at Just Us Girls came up with a fun sketch.

While I was visiting in Seattle, my friend and I stopped at a mortar stamp store!  Wow, that was so fun - I can't remember the last time I was in an actual stamp store.  I scored a couple of dies like the one I used here.  I have been seeing them everywhere in blogland and I just love them~  that was a fun store!  Meanwhile no links to anything since I didn't use any stamps! Oh, I did use my Bowdabra to make my bow.

  
Pop on over to JUGS, and play along!  We would love to see your creation~

Top Dog Die Day

It's the TD day today.  I am still short on some Christmas cards, fortunately, the Dog comes through!

I just love the Cherish Doilies & Tags die.  I think it went really well with the Ornament & Tag #2.  I used a sentiment from Hero Arts Holiday Sayings.

I also made a second card.  I love snow globes and didn't this work out fabulous, using the lid from Mason Jar Album Finishers, and Photo Props for my melted snowman.

This is so perfect coming from Arizona!  Melted would be the only snowman we have here!
Personally, I love the "sunglasses" - this card really makes me smile~

I think I need 4 more cards and I will be done for Christmas 2013!

Challenges and SCS Color

[click here for House of Cards Hop]

Tonight, I am combining a couple of cards.  One for challenges, and one for my SCS sample card.  I will start first with the challenge card.  

I was able to combine Curtain Call; Christmas, CASE Study and Muse in one card.  It worked rather well actually.

I used my Christmas standard set, Hero Arts Holiday Cheer, a $1 Santa from Mike's, and a sentiment from Hero Arts Holiday Sayings.

Here is the CASE Study card

And, the SCS Color Challenge card for this week.  Karen chose Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, and gold, with a dessert of fussy cutting.

       While looking for a stamp, I came across my Spellbinder Poinsettia dies!  [HA! Forgot I had these fun puppies]  No dessert for me - remember, I really don't like using scissors.  I used a different sentiment from Hero Arts Holiday Sayings.

I used the sketch from Retro Sketches 92.

I had a great day!  Thanks challenges, it was fun~

Just Us Girls #217 - Wild Card

[The Heartfelt winner is Eileen Lucas]

Nancy rocked choosing this week for the Wild Card challenge - One Layer, Winter Theme card. WOOHOO - I love me one layer cards, and I have missed making them!

Now, some stampers think you can't have ribbon and bling on a one layer card - but me, I go for it.  There is only one layer of card stock in this photo.  That's how I base my OLC.  [Just sayin']  I used a retired Stampin Up set, Simple Shapes with a little water spritzing, and a sentiment from [my go-to this Christmas] Hero Arts, Decorate Your Holidays, dual stamped for a shadow effect.

Do you like the challenge?  Well come on over to JUGS over and play along -- you can't say the challenge isn't easy enough~
