I used the current sketch from The Sweet Stop then stood back & thought "man that really needs something else" finally digging thru my very old stash of vellum and found the perfect solution!

Happy Holidays

365 Cards had a sketch up yesterday & I actually made this card yesterday but after an 8.5 mile bike ride (I am SO out of shape) then DH's bosses birthday party last night... I was too pooped to post!  Here's my creation:

hummmm, I did struggle with this one but since I'm on a Christmas kick right now.... well a fatty Christmas tree was about the only thing I could do.  Does a fatty tree mean bigger gifts?

Products Used: Printed Paper - Echo Park Merry Christmas; ribbon - American Crafts; silver sticker - Making Memories; star - QuickKutz Cookie Cutter Die; Red Stickles & White fabric paint.

Birthday Time

Tonight is DH's bosses birthday so he asked that I make Shane a card.  Shane is a golf freak so I tried to make the card fitting.  Here's my creation:

Products Used: Background - Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Ink Pad; Weathered Wood, Broken China, Forest Moss, and Peeled Paint Stain. To cut the 40 - CTMH Hydrangea, White, and Grey Flannel and Stampin Up Basic Grey with Sports Mania & Plantin Schoolbook cartridges. For the Grass - Stampin Up Wild Wasabi, Always Artichoke,  and Garden Green with Plantin Schookbook cartridge.

On the inside of the card, I used all CTMH.  Ink is Hydreanea. Stamp sets are Felilcity & Chocolate

I also just happened to find The Paper Players are having a birthday challenge, talk about timing!

Jugs 100th Challenge!

Whoop Whoop, yeah for them over at Just Us Girls!

I took a little poll from my fellow Crop Chocolate Confectioners which paper pack to use tonight and Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses won this time.

I also paired it up with a rhinestone from Kaiser Scrapbook & ribbon from Fancy Pants Happy Holidays.

a little disappointed :-(

I was so excited to see Unity's sketch & jumped in and made a card for Christmas

ready to upload when I read the rules... you can only use a Kit of the Month on what you make (I don't have ANY of them).  Total bummer, but I'll live & I like what I made I'm just not able to link it to the challenge.  Here's my creation:

The house stamp is from Unity's Family Dynamix and "Wish" is from Growing in Unity.  Stripe paper is  Fancy Pants Frosted, blue paper is from Echo Park Christmas by Bella Road, and Pink Snowflake paper is Fancy Pants Holly Jolly, Perfect Pearls for snow, colored pencils for house details, and Chocolate ink from CTMH.

Since my card doesn't count anyway, on the inside I added Stampin Up Sayings and Such (very old) in Cranberry ink from CTMH.
