CTD#220/PP#123 - Made of Snow Holiday Greetings

Good morning!  Are you ready for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge (CTD220)?  I hope so because you're going to love the colors for this week.  Wanda is our hostess and she chose this pretty inspiration photo and the great colors for us to create with.

For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Wonderful Words Holiday and Made of Snow with the coordinating dies.  I also used the Paper Players Sketch Challenge #123 for my layout.

FSS/FTL#217 - Queen for the Day

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing my last Fresh Squeezed Stamps card as their November guest designer.  This month has flown by and I've enjoyed my time creating along with the women on the Fresh Squeezed team and the other guest designers. 

I used the the fun FSS set Games People Play to create a birthday card and used the Clean & Simple FTL#217 Challenge for my layout.  I started out with a black card base, then die cut the hot pink scallops and adhered them along the right side of my card.  Then I added my piece of corner rounded polka dot paper, a strip of black cardstock and the letters I stamped from the Games People Play set.  The Queen chess piece was paper pieced and popped up on an embossed white piece of cardstock and given a black scallop mat.  Then as an accent I added two Prima flowers with a button and rhinestone.

I'll see ya back here tomorrow with my card for this week's Color Throwdown! Have a great day!  

CQC#164/RS#39/Dilly Beans - You're the Best!

Hi there!  The card I'm sharing tonight is one I created using three different challenges, the colors are from the Colour Queen Challenge #164 , the layout is from the Retro Sketches Challenge #39 and the card it self is for the Dilly Beans Challenge which is Anything Goes this week.

I ended up turning the sketch so it would work better with the Dilly Beans digital image I was working with, this was so fun to color. 

Supplies: Dilly Beans digi image, Copics, Buttons, Twine, Embossing folder, Scallop border die, MFT sentiment, Glaze pen for the eyes, Foam tape.  

PS Cool Shades/RS#38 - Seasons Greetings

Hi there!  Hope all of you that celebrated Thanksgiving enjoyed your day!  The card I have for today was created using two challenges, for the colors, I used the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge which was to use the color pallet below and for my layout I used the Retro Sketches Challenge #38 and turned the sketch on it's side.

The Cool Shades for the PS color challenge were far from your traditional Christmas colors but I was determined to use them to create a Christmas card with the fun new Paper Smooches stamp set Swanky Snowdudes that I recently purchased.  My card came together with a mix of different My Mind's Eye designer papers, Copic markers for coloring this cute image, some glitter, silver twine and a punched out snowflake with button.  For colors I used basic gray, ruby red and brocade blue card stock.
