The Holly and Ivy #43

Hello! Happy New Year! I'm sharing my 1st card of the new year for The Holly and Ivy challenge, it's an anything goes challenge. So begins another year where I'll be trying to get ahead on my holiday cards. Last year I thought I had a great head start, then my friends and coworkers cleaned me out and I was 12/15 making my own cards to send out. This one was a lot of work, not one I'd mass produce. All those tiny bits to add to the snowman was time consuming. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #303

Hello! Happy New Year! I hope the new year has started off well for you. I hope to have a better organized craft space this year, and have been working hard on that goal. I purged a few items and sold them thru a facebook group. I've been overwhelmed lately when I sit down to craft, so I really needed to work on my space. I'd love to fix up my space in the basement better, but all things in do time. So in my purging I came across a stamp I haven't used in ages (maybe since I bought it) that was perfect for this sketch. I'll be making a lot of birthday cards for the 1st part of the year, as I usually need a lot of them. I'm looking forward to seeing what our new DT members come up with as well as those of you who play along with us. Thanks for stopping by today.

Simply Create Too #145

Hello! I've been crafting away for a few days and happy to report that I have not run out of supplies yet. LOL!!! Like many of you I have amassed a huge supply of stamps, dies and paper... only thing i would need is adhesive. Our challenge this month is an "Anything goes" challenge, so I made a birthday card. I always need those. The die is MFT , I paired it with a sparkly patterned paper and just a few sequins. I hope you will join us . Thanks for stopping by today.

MIM a-la- cart

Hello! Happy New Year's Eve.  I had a few minutes before our friends arrive for a fun night of cards, kids both have friends over, house is spotless(yeah) , so I took advantage and crafted a bit. Playing along with previous challenge #317 outlined images. I created 2 cards for this challenge as I couldn't decide which way I wanted the card. I prefer the top one, I think the darker cardstock stands out a bit more. Thanks for popping by today.

CC&S #302

Hello! I'm stopping in with a quick share for this week's sketch challenge. This week we've asked you to re-visit a previous sketch from this year and make it a seasonal card. I chose challenge #300. It seemed like a good one for falling snow. I die cut various size snowflakes and a sentiment lightly misted them with some perfect pearls water and lightly inked the paper to help them stand out more. This one would be great to mass produce. This has been a fun year of color and sketch challenges, looking forward to the next years challenges. We will be taking a short break to enjoy the holidays, so Merry Christmas to you all and see you in 2019.

Warm winter wishes.

Hello! It's been awhile since I've had time to share any of my cards. I'm playing along with Addicted to stamps and more "anything goes and SSS Monday challenge "warm Winter Wishes" , since my reindeer is wearing a plaid scarf I think it works. I love how this looks with the plaid paper, I need to buy more so I can make more of these. Thanks for stopping by today.
