Christmas Tags

Hello! Happy Friday! Here are a couple of the tags I created for Kate's annual Holiday Tags-n-Bags swap over on SCS. The stamps are from Delightful Decorations (Stampin Up!) I used Kiwi Kiss & Riding Hood Red Ink, and cardstock colors Green Apple (gina k designs) and Ruby Red (Stampin Up!).

Posting again....

Hello, I'm back to posting (hopefully more often once again) I was on vacation for 2 weeks on the East Coast with my friend Scott. We had wonderful time going to baseball games, seeing new sights in big cities, etc. It was hard to go back to work yesterday, and now I'm finding myself tired earlier in the evening than I am used to.

Anyways, I thought I would share a card I have made for a swap since getting back. Back in July, I flew to Columbus, Ohio for a shoebox swap & to spend the weekend with a bunch of ladies I met through SCS. One of the things we all did a lot of was stamp images of stamps that we all brought along. After we got home with all of our newly stamped images, Jackie (AKA Babitoons on SCS) decided to host a "use those images swap". So this is what I came up with. I used Football Ian from The Greeting Farm. I did use my Badger Colors, but I kept it non-badger themed so that whoever got these would be able to use them (wouldn't it be cute for a little boy's birthday card?) The DSP is from an older SU Prints Pack. The Ribbon I got from Hobby Lobby (their brand).

Thanks for looking! :) Hopefully this will get me back into posting more often again!

Swaps

Hello! I finished two SCS swaps tonight, so I thought I would quickly share them with you before I sign off for the evening. The first card (above) is for Sam's Big Shot Sizzix Die Swap. I used two SU/Sizzix Dies (Top Note and Hearts & Brackets). The "U" stamp is from Big Deal Alpha (which is my favorite Alphabet Set) I also added a Filigree Brad in the corner, and some Pink Pirouette striped ribbon

The 2nd swap card I did today is for my friend Cheryl's Riley swap. Most of the Bicycle Riley image is colored with Prismamarkers. The Bike is colored in with SU Markers. I used Basic Grey Cupcake DP on most of the card. (I think the bicycle DP is perfect for this image ~ LOL). I added Red Riding Hood Striped SU ribbon & Some Basic Grey Cupcake Brads on top. The sentiment is from a GINA K Set called Tag Lines.

Thanks for looking!

SASI Triple Challenge

Hello! Still working on SASI Challenges.....For this card I combined three of their challenges into one card - paper piecing (#3), soft colors (#9), and a sketch (#6). I was a little worried about how this would turn out with all the layering I did on the main panel, but I'm happy with the turn out. The paper pieced image is from Gina K Designs (Retro Boutique)

Thanks for Looking!

StampTV Sketch Challenge

Here is a card for another challenge that I worked on Friday. This is for this past week's sketch challenge over on StampTV. I pulled out Sandy Claws (Gina K Designs) for this card. It's not really traditional Christmas Colors but I like how it turned out. The sentiment is from Gina K's Tag You're It set. I use the sentiments in this set a lot.

Thanks for looking ~ more later!

Lots of Challenges...

Good Morning!

Hope you all are having a fantastic labor-day weekend. This is one of my favorite weekends of the year - college football is starting, the leaves start to change color. I just love cool, crisp mornings.

Anyways, I'm hoping to be doing A LOT of posting this weekend, as the blog for Taylored Expressions (Stamp a Sweet Impression) is having a birthday celebration. There are THIRTEEN challenges posted. So this is one down, thirteen to go! LOL!This is challenge #2, which was a sketch challenge. I totally love this halloween cuppie! He's so cute!

Stay tuned for more! :)

MOJO 102

Hello! 

I found this Penny Black stamp at my local Archiver's over the weekend, isn't it cute? It works perfect with this week's MOJO sketch. I'm not really big on Halloween in general, but I love making Halloween Cards! 

More info on the card : I used K&CO Halloween Paper (Designed by Tim Coffey ~ love his stuff!), the sentiment is from a Hanna Stamps! set, and that pretty flower was RAK'd to me (I think it's from OTC). I took the photo on my patio, to get some natural light for a change. I think I'll be taking photos of my cards out there more often, at least until the snow starts flying! 

Have a great night!
