Snowflakes and Mittens

Good Thursday to all! I got to do a little stamping yesterday. This card is for the Crazy 4 Challenge (week 15). A card with snowmen or snowflakes was the challenge.
I used my Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing folder on the bottom layer of this card. All paper is from Stampin' Up! as is the image. It is retired from several years ago. Ribbon is from American Crafts. I put a bit of glitter glue on the hearts on the mittens. It is a pretty simple card, but then I'm a simple girl......

Thanks for stopping in! God Bless!

Brrr Baby......It's Winter!!

Good Morning All! We are having a wintery day here in my neck of the woods, so this card seems fitting! It was a simple and fun card.

The image is a digi one from VERVE, be sure to check out Julee's site. She has some awesome stamps and a beauuutiful gallery! Card stock is all Stampin' Up! Pattern Paper is from DCWV winter stack. I colored the image with Sharpie Colored markers. (who'd a thunk?!) I don't use them for a lot of projects because they tend to bleed, but if I'm careful and patient, they work well. I put a Rhinestone from JoAnn's on the cuff of the mittens, really added, thought.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! God Bless!

Happy Holidays

Good morning all! Today I have two holiday cards that I made. The layout is the same on both cards, as well as the color scheme. These are simple cards, the hardest part was sponging the snowflakes on the bottom layer. I used the Martha Stewart snowflake stamp for the negative, then punched a few out of silver glitter paper (on second card). The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!. I used my Nesties-small scalloped circle die and Marvy Circle punch. Pattern paper is from DCWV, and ink is SU also.

Ohhh, just looked outside, it's snowing at my house! Thanks for stopping by today! God Bless!

Challenge at Our Creative Corner

Good Evening to you. I don't usually post in the evening, but won't have time in the morning. We are heading south tomorrow. My card is for the Our Creative Corner Challenge this week. It was a color challenge, Light Pink, Hot Pink, Brown and White. (not much hot pink here....you really have to look) I have always loved the stamp set that this image comes from. It is retired Stampin' Up! I've never used it with these colors, though!
Takes some getting used to...huh. Cardbase, DSP and Scallop Edge Punch are all Stampin' Up!. Snowflake Punch-Martha Stewart, Chocolate Kiss Cardstock-Gina K, Small Scalloped Square Nestibility-Spellbinders, Small White Brads are from JoAnn's Fabric and Craft.
Thanks for stopping by, I'll check in again somewhere down the road! :0) God Bless!

One More Winter Card.....

I spoke with my sister yesterday and she mentioned an idea she had for a card.......now I'm not hijacking her idea, it just got me to thinking. I had bought the Argyle embossing folder a few weeks ago and hadn't used it yet, I think it really added to this card. I used Stampin'Up! cardstock-Taken with Teal, Glossy White, and Whisper White. The DP is SU-Ski Slope. The snowflakes were punched with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch out of Glitter paper I purchased at Target. (I LOVE it!) I used the Swirls embossing folder for the glossy layer. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado and stamped with Taken With Teal ink. The card base is White stock from Gina K-awesome!! (thanks Terri!) It is heavy so it doesn't bow with alot of layers.

Thanks for looking today! God Bless!

Snowman Winter

Hello!!! My goodness, time goes by so quickly. I find myself in a creative slump these days.....my work schedule doesn't allow for much creative time. There is a light at the end of my tunnel. I may have another opportunity in the coming weeks to follow the career path more to my liking.
While I am thankful for the position that I now hold, it is a struggle to work each day because the schedule is hard. I struggle to keep a good attitude about work, which is not really like me, I'm generally a pretty upbeat person. Well, enough whining already!!!
This card is kind of a stretch, I don't really like it, but at least I finished something....

Supplies: Cardstock-Confetti White Stampin' Up! Navy textured-Bazzil, Red-SU, Plaid DP-Making Memories (from a LONG time ago) Snowman stamp is a retired SU stamp. I used my Martha Stewart Snowflake punch and the SU Scallop Edger. Glitter glue on the snowflakes (this is kind of hard to see) Markers-SU
Thanks for looking today. God Bless!! Have a great weekend.
