CC&S #401

 Hello! Welcome back , I hope everyone is doing well. What's been happening with me since I last posted? Well I still haven't cleaned or organized my craft room... maybe soon. I got the vaccine, broke out in hives, but still going to get the 2nd dose. I am OVER this and want to do my part to get it over with quicker. So I hope to be able to create more this year, last year I was in a slump. I used the frayed edge stencil from TE and ink blended the 2 blue tones for the background, splattered some white paint over it added the bear and sentiment from Altenew then a couple red hearts and card base to bring in the 3rd color. Thanks for stopping by today. 

The Holly and Ivy Christmas challenge #85

 Hello! This will be our last challenge for 2020 and as always it's an anything goes challenge. I saw that video by JM and paused it to purchase these memory box dies... I love the shadow box look. I used some alcohol inks on glitter paper for the background. I hope you all have a wonderful and healthy holiday season , may 2021 be much better for us all. 

CC&S #400

 Hello! Well we made it to the final challenge of 2020.. let's get this year over please. For this week's challenge we are revisiting either a previous sketch or colour challenge and making it a Christmas card. I went back to challenge #378 for these colors. I love this layered tree die from Pretty Pink Posh, I made it in a few colors . I hope you all have a healthy and happy holiday season and that 2021 is better for us all. 

CC&S #399

 Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I have still been hard at work on Christmas cards (sold more of what I made to send out) , still have a  ways to go. I really liked working with these soft colors this week. Thanks for stopping by. 

THAIC #84

 Greetings! I hope you are all well and healthy. We are planning a quiet Thanksgiving holiday with just myself , hubby and our sons (just those in our house) . I need to get busy making more Christmas cards as I once again sold all of my cards I've made this year..... I knew this would happen and should have planned better. Please joi us for another Anything goes challenge. Thanks for stopping by. 

CC&S #398

 Hello! I hope you all are doing well since last week. I once again sold all of the Christmas cards I made throughout the year (on a Christmas card DT also) ... this happens to me every year and then I'm scrambling to get mine made and out in a timely manner. So no matter the challenge I'll be making a Christmas card. I used a stencil for the trees and snow on the trees , some white splatters and then the sentiment is Gina K. Simple and easy to mass produce. Thanks for popping in today.

CC&S # 397

 

Hello! I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy in your part of the world. As you may know I live very close to Chicago, which just went back to a very strict lockdown . This has caused people to panic buy again. Since I'm so close to the border our stores have been hit pretty hard. I was exposed at work and went to be tested , the place forgot to send in my test and now I won't have any results until today.... almost a week later when I was told healthcare workers would have them in 2 days. In the meantime I've cleaned out a ton of closets and purged lots of stuff. The card was made using the Taylored Expressions beautiful baubles stamp and stencil set. Thanks for stopping by today.
