I really this this sweet image from Bug a boo stamps. my glitter maker kinda smeared and made a slight mess but It will be ok. Not everything must be perfect. I followed the Stella sketch for this card. These sketches make my card making so much easier. I also used a Valentine candy heart embossing folder I've had for along time. Tuesday Throwdown has an Embossing Challenge. Crafty Creations has an Anything Goes challenge.
We have certainly had our share of cold wet weather. It is so nice to snuggle in front of the warm fire. Today I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday. Their sketches make putting cards together so much easier for me. Dream Valley, Crafting From the Heart and Through the Craft Room Door all have Anything Goes Challenges ending soon.
My picture does not do justice for this elegant snowflake. I love the white on white image with just the simple glitter embellishments to give it sparkle. Addicted to CAS has a snowflake challenge. Cupcake Inspirations has a Something New Challenge. My new thing is a new Cuttlebug. I had completely worn my old one out. City Crafter and Simon Says Wednesday both have a CAS challenge as well.
I wanted to cut this train before Christmas and just never got around to it. Today I decided to go ahead and do it for my Grandson, Liam. He loves trains. He wont even care if its a Christmas Train or not. He has a special Mailbox that little cards and other trinkets sometimes get placed in side. I also noticed Fab N Funky has a For a Child Challenge. Creative Knockouts and CardsTv both have Anything goes Challenges ending soon.
Today Im in a Clean and Simple mode. I'm making a few Valentine cards to take to the local nursing home. Just a little something to give to some of the patients who don't have a lot of visits from family. I used the Poppy Stamps curved heart border and the Cheap O Dies Heart to make this. Dies R Us has an Anything Goes Challenge. Both of these dies were recent purchases that I hadn't had a chance to put to use. so I am also using them for the Something New Challenge at Simon Says Monday
I can not believe it has been since August that I last posted. The last 6 months has purely escaped and I don't know where it went. So much going on and no time to slow down. Anyway today I made this card using the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches. I used a Newton's Nook image that I just think is too cute. I picked the image before I even looked at their current challenge but after looking at it I went with their color scheme. Both Crafty Sentiments and Through the Craft Room Door have Anything Goes Challenges.
