SnC CCC - Days 8 and 9

Hello!

I made yesterday's card so late that I forgot to do a blog post, I'll share that one below.

First up is today's card!  The prompt was "bling".  Love bling!!

I knew I wanted to use these flowers...finding them was another task altogether but at least they were located!  I used an MFT die for the scalloped circle and a Hero arts sentiment.  I am submitting this card to Christmas Card Challenges - #36 Use something new.  I used my new Authentique Festive paper :)

The card layout is from SCS.

And here is yesterday's card. The prompt was Anything Goes so I made a quick card using Basic Grey Jovial papers and chipboard along with a Hero Arts sentiment.

Paper Makeup Stamps November Release - Review Day #2

TGIF!

It's time to review the latest stamps released from Paper Makeup Stamps! Did you see the Day 1 review yesterday? If not, click {HERE} to check it out.

I get to show off one of the new Color Kids, Snowflake, today. Isn't she a cutie? I think so :) She is available as a digi or rubber.  Here I used the rubber version.

It was interesting coloring on the kraft paper.  I had to remember to keep using the darker colors since they show up better.  I added some smooch to her snowflake and paper pieced her skirt with a scrap from my Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses dp that I also used on the rest of the card.

Check out the rest of the release reviews {HERE}!

I am entering Christmas Card Challenges #49, I used the sketch shown below.

TFL!

Merry Merry Christmas

It's Saturday evening and I finally have something to show for my afternoon in the scraproom! I spent a lot of time organizing my 6x6 pads...oh my, there are many!!!  Hopefully it will be easier for  me to access them and find what I want a little quicker now.  I've sorted them by company and then alphabetized them by collection name. I also separated the fall, Halloween & Christmas pads since I need those now.

This card is for 3 challenges and here you would think I would have used some patterned papers - not one bit LOL!

Christmas Card Challenges has this beautiful inspiration picture for their challenge~

I used the new FTL sketch #162~

and Cute Card Thursday wants to see Trees/Leaves for their challenge.

This is a pre-post, I'm out at the New Haven fireworks!

I saw the sketch over at Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge this morning and thought I would use it for today's Christmas card.


I used the Hero Arts Holiday Dolls set, I bought it at the LSS either last year or the year before and found it while looking for stamps to use this month. Another doll will show up on a future card :)
