~ Christmas Card Contest ~

Hi Everyone!

This card was created from some leftover cardstock from my friend Marjori's classes. She initiated a contest to see who comes up with the best card...what a great way to "use up" leftovers. I really like this idea.

This is my entry...what do you think?

Stamps: Snow Swirled, Home for Christmas

Ink: purely pomegranate (retired), very vanilla, old olive

Paper: old olive, purely pomegranate dsp (retired), glossy white, brushed gold

Accessories: gold brads, kraft taffeta ribbon, pink bling (non-SU)

Hope that you enjoy this as much as I had making it!

Happy Stampin'!

~ Happy Halloween ~

Hi Everyone!

Since I had to cancel my class in October because of laryngitis, I am posting one of the projects that we were going to create. I had to make one for my nephew Thomas for Halloween and am going to make some cute "girlie" cards for my grandaughters, Keira and Kaely sometime in the next few days.

Anyhoot...here is the card that I just about totally cased from my wonderful upline Lorri Heilling. I received this set "Under the Stars" at the SU Convention this past August in SLC as a "bonus". How cool is that?

Stamp sets: Under the Stars, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink: chocolate chip, very vanilla

Paper: chocolate chip, pumpkin pie, retired SU (2008) dsp

Accessories: small oval punch, shrunken large scallop square die

Enjoy!

Happy Stampin'!
