Celebrate the Joy of Friendship

Hello I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  I have about 1/3 of my Christmas cards done now. I had pick up the pace or I will be finishing them after the New Year!  I made this one for a few challenges I have listed below.  One of them is for iCopic and it is a color challenge to use real red, yellow green, and egg yolk.  I used what I had that was closest.  The center of the ornament is colored with YG03 (yellow green), but when I added the glitter it totally changed it, much to my disappointment.  I picked a translucent glitter thinking it would work. I will be back on Monday sometime with a card.  Thank you for stopping by.

The Cuttlebug Spot Thank you for your Hospitality

This week the challenge for The Cuttlebug Spot is to make a thank you notes for your dinner hostess.  It wouldn't be a Cuttlebug Spot challenge without embossing so I went all out and used three different folders on my card.  That is a first for me, the most I had every used on one card before was two.

I recieved my latest order from Gina K Designs on Friday and I couldn't wait to ink up Melanie Muenchinger's newest set A Year of Borders.  This set has to be one of the best sets I have every bought.  It is so versatile. I have a card I made using the poinsettia border that I have already posted on StampTV and will be sharing here this week.  I will be using this set a lot.  I hope that you will join in this weeks challenge.  For more details and a look at all of the fabulous samples from the rest of the design team head over to The Cuttlebug Spot.  Thank you for stopping by.

The Cuttlebug Spot Set The Table

The challenge this week for The Cuttlebug Spot is Set the Table: Decoratins for Thanksgiving holiday. I choose to decorate a candle.  To start I pulled out my crimping tool and brushed off the cobwebs and crimped the kraft base.  For the next layer I embossed the green with a cuttlebug folder, sorry I can't find the name of it right now.  The leaves are some paper leaves I found at Michaels and I embossed them with textile texture embossing folder.  I added the sentiment and I was done.  I made this last Saturday and I am still finding glitter everywhere.  I love glitter, but it hangs around like Easter grass!

Here is a close up of the leaves.

This would be a great fast and easy last minute decoration for your Thanksgiving table or how about a Hostess gift.  Make sure you go over to The Cuttlebug Spot and see the wonderful creations from the rest of the Design Team.  And we would love to see you join us in this weeks challenge.  Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Hello I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Mine was good I was able to spend a bunch of time in my stamp room creating and boy it did feel good.  I made this card for three challenges. I started by stamping the shells with versamark ink on white card stock and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I then cut out the circles with nestabilites.  Before removing the circle I sponged with turquoise ink.  Next I matted the circles with decorative circle nestabitlites die. I have had this stamp set Gifts From The Sea illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger  for awhile and haven't used it much.  I need to fix that as it is a great set with a lot of wonderful shell images.  I will list the challenges below.  Thank you for stopping by.

Challneges

1. StampTV: That's Odd odd number of embellishments
2. Flourishes:  Shades of Blue
3. Card Patterns: Sketch

Joy

Hello today I have a card I made Mojo Monday's sketch and Lee Murphy's challenge for Gina K Designs release.  I am squeaking in just under the wire on the sketch.  Lee's challenge is to make a holiday card using non traditional colors.  I went with pink.  I did sneak a tiny bit of red and green for the holly on the snowman's hat. This is a short post as I am working on a few more challenges and some DT projects that I will be sharing in a few days.  Enjoy what is left of your weekend and thank you for stopping by.

Polly in Purple

I think I am finally getting my creativity back.  I am starting to feel like stamping again, this has been a long stretch.  so that means I should get back to posting a little more.  This is a card I made for Kraftin' Kimmie's challenge.  This week is is Primarily Purple.  I choose to go with a monochromatic card.  I just love this sassy gal, her name is Polly.  I have had her for awhile and just now got her inky.  Thank you for stopping by.
