Greetings to all ! I'm sharing my card for this week's sketch challenge. While making this card I discovered that I only have 1 "Let it snow" sentiment . You read that correctly, only 1. No die cuts either. I must correct this TODAY!!!! SO as soon as I finish this post I will be shopping !!! I have 6 snowflake dies, 3 snowman dies , 4 snowflakes stamp/die combo, and 12 snowman stamp and stamp die combo. How did I not notice this yet? So I used the funky snowflake die from SSS and some fun patterned paper I've been hoarding. If you check back on a previous post you can see how I used the negative space and the paper for a different card. I really loved the look of the grey for this. I'm going to have to get more of that paper from Hobby Lobby. I hope you will play along too. Also playing along with Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge. Thanks for stopping by today.

Freshly made sketch #362

Hello! Happy Sunday to you. I don't like to waste any grey paper ever. Grey is my most favorite color paper to craft with, I try to use it on as many cards as I can. So when creating a card for one of my DT's I die cut a snowflake and for this card I used the negative space , die cut it a stitched rectangle and used the same patterned paper as my other card (watch for that one one Tuesday). I love how this turned out. Now if only Hobby Lobby was open so I could go get more of that patterned paper. Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting.

Hello! I hope you are all doing well this Tuesday. New month, means we are getting closer to Christmas. I have been busy getting wish lists from my kids and nieces and nephews. I like to be ready before Thanksgiving. I'm decorating for Thanksgiving today, and cleaning a bit. My cards are almost ready to send out. For this card I used SSS Funky snowflake and Big scripty greetings. For the background I used some blue and green alcohol inks, I like to have a couple of cards with fun colors for Christmas. I hope you will play along with our anything goes challenge.

Hello! I'm back with this really simple card for this week's color challenge. I have extra busy lately with my mom, happy to report she is finally home. If you follow me, you might remember she has had more than her share of health issues lately . So simple cards are working best for me right now. I grabbed the paper in this week's colors and sat down to think about what to do with them , the thanks die was on my desk. It sort of spoke to me. I hope you play along with us . Thanks for stopping by today.

 Hello! I'm back with a fun card to share for our double challenge. I've been working on holiday cards recently, and have enjoyed playing with this die set. I chose to flip the sketch  to allow me  more room . I adore snowman , so this die was a must have for me. I've been trying to craft a bit everyday to relieve a bit of stress, my mom is still in the hospital recovering from her stroke. She is getting much better. Thanks for stopping in today.

Hello! I'm plugging along with my Christmas cards. I have recently purchased a few stand alone Christmas dies and wanted to play with those.  I love snowmen , I have 1 whole Christmas tree just of snowmen. I plan to make a few different versions with this die. It has been wonderful to be a bit ahead this year with my holiday cards and shopping. Please join us for our "anything goes challenge". Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! It's been another very stressful week for me and I was happy to be able to have a few minutes to create. If you follow me, you know my mom has been having some health issues recently, well this week she suffered a small stroke. She is doing a bit better now, but it was pretty scary for a couple of days. I am extremely close with my mom, I talk to her twice a day , every day. So this has been very hard for me. I feel like I threw this card together too quickly. I used some scraps left from last weeks card, a snowflake die from SSS and a few sequins to finish it off. Now off to sleep. Thanks for stopping by today.
