OH CHRISTMAS TREE.. OH CHRISTMAS TREE

 A quick post to show off another challenge card.  Made this one for three different challenges.  The sketch of the card came from CARDPATTERNS sketch 145.  It is so cute this week and I love the border they have selected on the edge of the card. 



I got the inspiration from SIMON SAYS stamp challenge - Photomontage.  It was so perfect because I knew I wanted to use the new tree stamp I recently got from Inkadinkado.

Here is the photo they posted for the inspiration.

Last but not least I am also adding this card to the MORE THAN FAVORS: WACKY WEDNESDAY challenge - Christmas cards. 

I've gotta run... have to make a special little boy a very special birthday card.  I'll show you later.

 A quick post to show off my latest challenge card.  Two of my favorite challenge sites this week.  For a sketch I went to my regular standby CardPatterns Sketch 144.  

 So clean and simple.

I used the color inspiration from TCP Tuesday #188.

I finally used my new SU The Sounding Joy set. 

Sorry for not a great of a picture. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!

tis the SEASON!

 I'm counting down the days.. not only to Christmas, (which is 16 days,.,.eeek) but also til my beautiful daughter comes home.  9 days!!!!

 In the meantime I am keeping very busy.. working and any time off still making Christmas cards.  Here is another one.

This is what I'm going to look like this Sunday.. my work Christmas party, but I swear I am going to wear a bra!!!   LOL

Don't you like the bright colors?  

Both the ColourQ challenge #14 

& 

Just Add Ink Inspirational Photo challenge #97 

had just about the same colors and could not pass them up.

The layout for the card came from The Sweet Stop SSS137 Sketch.

 Well gotta get ready for work.. I hope everyone is safe and well and hug you family tonight.

Jolly Christmas

 Two post in one day.. wow I have lost my mind.  LOL!  I have to make this one quick, everyone is "cryin" in the house and wants me to start decorating.  Ok.. OK

 

I used the sketch from this weeks challenge over at Our Creative Corner.  They wanted us to decorate it up to the hills.. so I did.  I bling blinged my reindeer out!

I have a file folder box sorted by color with all my scrap paper, so I always go to it for smaller pieces of paper when needed on a card.  That's exactly where I went for the red and green for this one.  I used my new Sizzix Poinsettia embossing folder - soooo adorable.  Then cut a little label with my PTI die for the sentiment.  The Cuttlebug Spot challenge gave me the great idea to use my left over items on this card with there challenge this week.




On to my color choice.. how could I pass up Celebrity Color Challenge,  the ultimate Christmas colors - 

Cherry,  Artichoke, Vanilla

Now time to decorate.

Happy Holidays

 Happy Monday everyone.  Only 20 more days left til the Jolly O'le big guy comes for his yearly visit.  How many are done with all the shopping?  I have just a few more items to get, mostly stocking stuffer items.

In the meantime I again was inspired by a few challenges on another Christmas card.  Color Throwdown #170 has some great colors to make a bright and cherry card.




 Then I went to a great new challenge site Freshly Made Sketches.  This week the sketch, #13, was so perfect for a new set of dies I just got.  They are a set of 4 Christmas Balls from QuicKutz.  I knew I wanted to use them someway in a card and with this sketch it worked out perfect.




The last part of my card came from one of my favorite types of challenge.  A recipe of sorts.  CAS-ual Fridays Challenge had a tic-tac-toe challenge, which you had to pick three in a row and incorporate all three into your card.  I picked the top left square down.. Scallops - Green - Stripes.

 HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Stay tune.. I was very inspired this weekend so have another to show in shortly.
