Think Pink!



The other day I took my daughter to a members only sale at PINK and the fact that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month inspired me to make this card. Now pink is just not my color and I found this digi image from Bugaboo stamps.
It represented me- exactly! I have another image from Bugaboo that I will add later this weekend.
I just love their images!

Card #10- 2010


I just loved this DP.
I thought the Stampingbella image would look great with the christmas tree background. I tried to make it look like the car had just driven out of the field of trees. I added a little glossy accents to the ornaments and headlights. I want to add a sentiment, but not sure what fits?? Any thoughts?

Bellarific Friday 10-22-10 Card #9- 2010





I up to card 9 of 12! ya hoo!
This week I used the sketch from Bellarific Friday at Stampingbella.
I was sorting through my christmas images last week and pulled out Christmartini. I then came across this DP from K& Company and thought they would go together great!. The swirls almost match exactly.
I used my spellbinders to but the circle the image out, and let the Christmas tree stirrer to pop out of the circle.

Sketch Saturday #124- Card #8 -2010



This week I've been working on getting a few more Christmas cards done.
Here is #8. I used the sketch from the Sketch Saturday Blog with one of my favorite Whippersnapper images.

The DP if from Cosmo Cricket- Holly Jolly, the image Whippersnapper- Jingle Balls.
My colors are non-traditional, but I like how they came out. The colors are a blue/green and purple , the lighting throws the colors off a bit.

Card Patterns Sketch # 85- Card # 7 2010- Snow Angels



I found this sketch at Card Patterns on Saturday. It looked fun and I thought it might work with my snow angel image from Cow Town Stamps.
The colors are a little diffeernt, but I was trying to be untraditional this year.

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge-#32 Paper Piecing - Card #6 2010

While browzing the gallery at SplitCoastStampers, I found this card I absolutely loved. I looked into it further and it brought me to the challenge bloge over at Sassy Cheryls Digi Stamps.
The challenge for the week was to use paper piecing in your creation. Since I absolutely loved the card on SCS, I decided to purchase the image and do something similar.

Here's how it came out. I will use this as card number 6 of 12 of my Christmas cards!




The image is called Twiggy the Snowman, the paper is from American Traditioanl Designs and is called Chrismas Trees. I used my nestabilities and tried a technique I saw at Prairie, Paper & Ink
It didn't come at as I planned, but it doesn't look to bad either.
