Bushel and a Peck

I finally spent a little time playing with my Daydream Designs digi stamps & papers tonight.  I was a bit burned out after the 30 days of Christmas cards last month and have really slacked on getting much done this month - I can't believe it's the end of the 24th already!!

I printed the image from the Bushel and a Peck Colorized set, it's great to have some pre-colored images on hand for quick cards! I also printed the two designer papers from the Fall Papers pack.  I used this week's Critter Sketch Challenge for the card layout and incorporated the Pink Elephant's Chevron/Hexagon challenge by using chevron paper.  To add a little sparkle to the card, I used the Gold Spica pen on the leaves.  The edges of the image were inked with Amber Clay chalk ink and in place of the 3 stars in each corner, I added leaf brads from my stash.

Here's the sketch~

Sweet Christmas Wishes

As promised, I am back with my DT post for Daydream Designs!

For today's card, I am using the Sweet Christmas Wishes set, it comes with the cupcake and the sweet sentiment.  I just {love} cupcakes and this one is especially yummy.  I had a great time coloring it (except for discovering my R24 marker is bone dry!!) I added cut apart a second cupcake to add the holly leaves by themselves as an embellishment.

I started with today's Feeling Sketchy sketch and incorporated the following challenges as well:

Created with Love Challenges #7 - Christmas plus a die cut (circles were cut with MFT Die-namics)
The Pink Elephant #164 - Use patterned paper
Christmas Card Challenges #40 - Use 3 of something (2 sets of 3 rhinestones for the holly berries)

And with that, pj day is officially over!  I have to go get cleaned up and then clean up the kitchen before we head to my parents for an outdoor dinner. It's so beautiful here today!  I really enjoyed having some time in my craft room during daylight hours!

Merry Bingo

TGIF!

Any plans for the weekend? I'm hoping to take advantage of some tax free clothing shopping and spend some time cleaning my craftroom.  The daily card challenge is taking its toll LOL!  I cleared off the desk on Sunday night and now it looks worse than it did before I cleaned it that day!

Today I'm sharing a Daydream Designs card. It was created for the daily Christmas card challenge on Monday. The prompt was to use "25" on our card.  I had the great idea to use a bingo card from the Christmas Bingo color set.

To make the "25" stand out, I decorated with a circle of yellow pearls and then filled in the rest of the 'bingo' line with some rhinestones.  The paper is more of my Authentique Festive...I will be so sad when I finish this pad up!  I finished off the card with a crinkle ribbon bow.

Sweet Warm Ups

Good morning!

Today I'm sharing my Day 18 card for the Scrappin'-n-Chattin' 30 day Christmas card challenge. The prompt for that day was "sweets" - a yummy prompt for sure!

I created this card using an image from the Sweet Warm Ups set and the sentiment is from the Sweet Christmas Wishes set, both available at Daydream Designs!

I used this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop. This week was a sketch with a spin - use die cuts or punches. I used my EK Success Scallop border punch and a Spellbinders Ribbon Tag die cut. The "topping" was made using White Opal Liquid Pearls - my first time using them. Love how it looks :)  The paper is from the MME Be Merry 6x6 paper pad.

My debut card for Daydream Designs!

Good morning!

Today is the big day! Diane is introducing the new team for Daydream Designs on her blog, which you can find HERE! The big reveal will be up at Noon (CST). 

Here is the card I created to debut on my blog today! I had so much fun creating a little scene using two sets from the shop. I printed the penguin, trees and star from the Little Bits of Christmas set and then colored them with my copics. After that I fussy cut each image and placed them on 'mountains of snow' which was made with a Sizzix embossing folder.

Look at all the images that comes in this set!  So many great images to mix and match for all of your Christmas needs!

I used a sentiment from Christmas in the Heart sentiments. I love how Diane's sets work so well together!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure to check out the Daydream Designs shop and Diane's blog to learn more about the fabulous team she has assembled!
