Let It Snow

Hi crafty friends.  It's Monday and that means a new challenge from Made Especially For You.  This week's challenge is snow.  Make a project that has snow or snowflakes on it.  This week's Sponsor is K 'n K Designs - they are offering one lucky participant 3 of their digital stamp sets. 

Here is my card:

For my card I used the Winter Wonderland stamp set from Inspired By Stamping.  My cardstock and patterned paper are Papertrey Ink, ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon, and silver snowflake is K and Co.  I stamped my snowflakes in Versamark and then glittered them to make my background.

All That Glitters

Wanting to share the latest kit from The Sampler with you tonite called "All That Glitters".  It is an amazing kit with tons of Crate Paper, American Crafts, and other goodies that will make any crafter happy this holiday season.  Take a look:

Isn't it lovely?  The first thing I though when I saw the kit was "December Daily".  Before I start showing you creations made from All That Glitters, I've still got a few things to share with you from November's Sampler Kit - Seasonal Sweets:

Here's a layout of one of my little cousin's all dressed up for a family wedding.  The embossed cardstock is Core'dinations and I ran a pink ink pad over the embossing to match Brody's tie and suspenders, bringing out those colors. 

Yah gotta love  my chickens!  I'm sure they'd be happy to know there was another layout dedicated to them. 

And last but not least, my sunshine.  Matt and I always have such fun together, love capturing those feelings on paper with a cheery layout.  Matt wouldn't be happy to know I was referring to him as sunshine, lol...but he will never know!

Inspired By Stamping - Reveal Day

Today's the big day!  The reveal of Inspired By Stamping's latest set - The Sky's The Limit.  First of all I want to share my projects from the previous days and a new card...with details on how I made them.

For this card I stamped my balloons on a different piece of paper and cut out the balloon and basket.  I then stamped the image on my green cardstock and paper pieced my hot air balloons back together.  I used pop up glue dots to add dimension to my card by making my balloons different layers.  My ribbon, lace and clothes pin are from The Ribbon Reel. 

I used Versmark on this card to create the glittery hot air balloon.  I simply stamped my image with Versamark then added glitter.  My pearls are Liquid Pearls by Ranger.  My twine is The Ribbon Reel.

Now for my new card, check it out:

This card is also paper pieced.  I used Spellbinder Nestabilities, Fiskars Scallop Punch, and Studio G glitter glue.  My glittery cardstock is American Crafts.  Check out the Design Team members full reveals here:

Ornaments

Hi all!  Time for a new challenge from Made Especially For You.  This week we want to see an ORNAMENT.  Our sponsor is the Digi Doodle Shop - a place near and dear to my heart because I was on their design team in the past.  Be sure to play along for a chance to win a gift certificate to their store. 

I made a Christmas ornament and a coordinating card using the Christmas Globe digi from the Digi Doodle Shop.  Take a look:

My ornament was made from a wooden spool.  I love altered spools - search it at Pinterest for loads of inspiration!  I added coordinating Papertrey Ink papers to both.  My ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon and twine is PTI.  I used Copics to color my snow globe and added Stickles for sparkle. 

A card with coordinating ornament is a great gift this time of the year.  My trinkets and baubles are from Etsy.

I'm entering my creations in the following challenges:

• Digi Doodle Shops Challenge 85 - Lots of Sparkle
• Ribbon Reel Challenge 16 - Anything Goes
• Wee Memories Challenge 78 - Free For All
• PPA122:

Southern Girls Challenge

Hi all!  No I didn't fall off the planet, I've been really busy.  Don't forget I'm a peds nurse so this is the "most busiest time of the year" with all the little sick children.  So I worked a little OT this week and been busy Christmas shopping. But now I'm back with a great challenge from Southern Girls Challenge 33:

 Ribbon Madness



We want to see ribbon on your projects....any type of ribbon, any type of creation.  Visit Southern Girls to check out the amazing sponsors we have lined up this week.  I was lucky enough to get to work with Tickled Pink Stamps for this challenge.  Tickled Pink is an awesome store based in Australia that has beautiful digi and rubber stamps.  I worked with Lil Christmas Lolita Willow.

I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:

• Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge - Anything goes.

Here is my creation:

I love playing with my Copics...even though I don't have a clue what I'm doing with them.  My ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon and PTI.  My sentiment is Whipper Snapper Stamps.
