Gorjuss Christmas

I think I just figured out what has been wrong with my pictures lately; there are little fingerprints on the lense of my camera! I'm going to have to fix that before I make any more cards, because it's causing my photos to look foggy. The overcast sky isn't helping either.

Today I used Marlene's awesome sketch from The Sugar Bowl:

I also doodled some "zig-zag" for the second part of The Sugar Bowl challenge. The adorable Gorjuss Girl image is from Sugar Nellie, of course. I love those Gorjuss Girl stamps!

Well, back to crafting. I have a lot of Christmas cards to make still! I need to get them out before Christmas this time (haha). Thanks for taking the time to look! :) Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Tiny Packages

Here's a Christmas card I made today for Michelle Perkett Studio's 5th challenge over at Paper Craft Planet, "Blue, Green, White, and a Splash of Red". I had a good time playing with this little digital freebie from Michelle!

Thanks for dropping by! :)

Starry Christmas

(1st Challenge) This isn't the greatest photo due to the sun was nearly set! For this card I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge blog:


(2nd Challenge) I used the adorable digital image, "Setting the Stars" made by Phindy's Place. Phindy's Place over at Paper Craft Planet put on their first challenge this week, "Holiday Glitter", which I glittered my card up for (see the beautiful wings and stars!) I must say, I'm impressed by Phindy's stamps, which can be found HERE!

(3rd Challenge) Over at Creative Card Crew Challenge blog they have this week a challenge called, "Strings Attached". I added my hemp to qualify for this great challenge and I'm so glad I did, because it really added to it!

(4th Challenge) I am thankful for the challenge over at Crafty Creations, "Metal/Metallic Finishes", because I would not have put those stars on this card if it weren't for that challenge and I really think it was a nice touch!

(5th Challenge) I definitely think this card qualifies for the"Baby's First Christmas/Pre-Schooler" challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar! What a lovely blog they have over there!

The paper/cardstock is from Die Cuts With a View and I colored in the image with Prismacolor pencils (blended with Gamsol). Thanks for Looking!

More Peace On Earth

This card was inspired by the sketch this week at Paper Craft Planet. I'm using this tree from The Angel Company for the majority of my Christmas cards this year. The saying is from Flourishes. The ribbon was from Mark's Finest Papers.

Peace On Earth

Okay, I think this photo may be a little on the bright side, but the sun is down now and I don't want to wait until tomorrow to post it! :) I made this card using the inspiration from I Heart 2 Stamp (sketch) and Colour Create (color challenge: Green, Red, & White). Here's the sketch:

The adorable stamps are made by Flourishes (I bought them at Mark's Finest Papers), ribbon from Mark's Finest Papers, paper from Die Cuts With a View. Thanks for looking! :)

Just Me and My Horse

I chose my colors for this card to participate in The Play Date challenge this week:


Then, I chose the cute sketch from Mo's Digital Challenge Blog:

I used a digital stamp (Mo Manning's), so qualify for The Cupcake Craft challenge this week, "Digital Images" (I think). :)

It's hard to believe I got two cards done today! I'm supposed to be moving. For some reason, each time I think about packing I end up making a card. I use card making as a stress reliever, so moving may just end up causing me to do a lot of card making! :)

Thanks for looking!

5-Challenge Card

I actually played with five different challenge blogs while making this one card! I used Judy's sketch from The Sugar Bowl: Challenge 23:


Over at Just Us Girls they're having a "Dry Embossing" challenge. I dry embossed several different pieces of paper on this card. All of that texture brings me to Cute Daisy May's challenge this week - "Touchy-touchy". Not only does most of my paper have texture between all the distressing and dry embossing I did, but all of that glitter is quite raised and the ribbon is nice, sleek, and smooth! Cute Card Thursday's challenge this week is, "Glitter Me Silly". I added glitter to all of the flowers, leaves, to the bow around the flower pot, and even some on the girl! I would say, I got a little carried away (on purpose this time) to participate in the "Glitter Me Silly" challenge! That sure was fun! Normally I try to be careful NOT to add glitter all over the entire stamped image, but I basically did that today. Last, but not least I played with Charisma Cardz whose challenge this week is, "Merry & Bright". My card is definitely both of those! :)

Thanks for looking!
