2sketches4you!

Hello again on this lovely Monday... today's a special Monday, as Starving Artistamps has sponsored 2sketches4you this week! Stop on by the 2sketches blog to see this weeks sketch!

I cut a bunch of these square glittery blue card bases last week so that I can use up this paper... I've got TONS! And going with the non-traditional Christmas-sy color scheme, I decided Santa needed a blue outfit! A glittery blue outfit none the less! And I painted the chipboard snowflake with white pearl paint to give it some shimmer as well!

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to stop by the 2sketches4you blog to see what everyone else came up with for this great sketch!

Joy to the world!

Another Christmas card case here! I got my copy of the Christmas Cards book from Scrapbook Trends a few weeks ago and I really liked the Winter Wonderland card on pg. 104 by Beatriz Jennings. I used a different colour palette and forgot to put the white felt piece on, but I think it still works!

I used the pretty little angel from the DoodleFactory O Holy Night set and she's all glittered up! I used one of the new snowflake dimensional elements from CTMH and I've covered it with Prisma glitter too! And I added one of the double crocheted flowers that I made this summer as a little extra sumthin, sumthin...

Well I may or may not be posting on Thursday so just in case, HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my American friends! Enjoy the turkey!!! Mmmmm...

Thanks for stopping by!

silent night...

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I love weekends that you can just do whatever, whenever... it was great!

Today's card uses an old CTMH paper pack (and the name escapes me right now... sorry). I felt it gave an old antique feel to the card.You like? I wanted the image to look like a nice evening scene so I did a bit of shading around the image. Hopefully it conveys the look I was going for!

Happy Saturday! I don't usually post on the weekends but this week was absolutely crazy and I only posted once... so I felt bad... :( So how many times have you all gone to see New Moon this weekend? I went twice... once yesterday and once today! It was AWESOME!!!!!!! Now the countdown is on until June when Eclipse is released! Can't wait!!

Today's card is a CTMH only card - I saw a similar card somewhere in blog land and wanted to give it a whirl! A little bit of stitching, some buttons and you've got a cute holiday card! The Aspen paper pack has to be one of my favourite CTMH paper packs... I just LOVE this plaid paper; the pattern, colours... LOVE IT!

Thanks for stopping by!

Joy to the world...

To case or not to case... well... I in this case, I cased!! Haha... oh I'm a riot... (not!) A blog that I love to visit, and cracks me up on a regular basis is that of Jan Tinklenburg, aka Jan Tink at Stamps, Paper, Scissors! She's a hoot! And she made the cA-Utest card last week! It was the inspiration for this card that I share with you today, and you can find it here. 

As I mentioned in my last post I got a few goodies from Stamping Bella last week, one being The Choir, as shown above... I knew the image was a decent size and a bit longer, so I used Jan's card as the inspiration for mine... and she never ceased to amaze me with the ways she uses the woodgrain stamp... this time on a Christmas card... who knew?!  I did change the ribbon and sentiment a tad, but I think my finished product is FAB!

Thanks for stopping by today, and have a great Tuesday!
