TESC94 - Cozy Christmas

Good Evcning!

I thought I would keep the snow theme going, with a card for this weekend's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge (TESC94) using their "Home Sweet Home" set. :) Isn't the DP awsome? My SCS friend Kate sent it to me (Kaiser Crafts - Christmas Carnival Collections). I just love the colors and the patterns in this DP!

And if you love snow (and especially cute snow people) you will want to check in over the next few days, Inktegrity is releasing a few more images this month that will be sure to cause a "flurry" of excitement!

MOJO 116 - Inktegrity Style!

Here's my card for this week's MOJO Monday Sketch, love all these circles! I'm using an Integrity image (Sundae Best). It's hard to see in the card, but I embossed the white areas, and it's a little shimmery! :)

For those of you that are affected by mother nature's winter blessings this week, I hope you stay safe and warm. We have been getting hit hard with a major blizzard (16+ inches of pretty white snow with high winds and colder temps yet to come) . Most everything is shut down. So please be safe if you are out there on the roads.

Gina K Challenge - Shiny Snow

Hello! Here is another Gina K Release Challenge Card, to make the snow shimmer. I put icicle stickles on the Naughty Nice sign. I just love this little penguin! Images are from the Gina K Set "Sandy Claws". Thanks for looking!

Holiday Blue and Green

Good Morning!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. It's been a little chilly here, but no complaints! Here is my card for one of the Gina K Release Challenges over on SCS, Lee (LuvLee on SCS) challenged us to make a holiday card using blue and green as our primary colors. So here is my snowman card :-) For the snowman image, I stamped it on Gina K luxury White, cut it out with my nestabilities, colored it in, created a mask (using sticky notes) for it, then covered up the snowman with the mask while I stamped the snowflakes and sponged it. The blue snowflake is bashful blue cardstock, the green snowflake is Gina K Luxury White cardstock sponged with Kiwi Kiss (gives it a more softer look). The main image is from Warm Winter Wishes, designed by Carolyn King for Gina K Designs. I love all snowmen, but this one is becoming a really big favorite of mine!

Have a great day! :-)

Gina K Challenge - Pattern Embossing

Last week's Techinque Challenge over on StampTV was to create a card using Pattern Embossing. I'll be the first to admit, I'm normally intimidated by challenges that involve a multitple-step process! But Gina K's how-to video was so easy to follow, I had no problems at all. It was just a matter of making sure I had all of the items needed to complete the challenge. I used two Gina K Stamps Sets for this summer, the snowflakes come from Rupa's Magic of Christmas Set, and the bold stars come from Gina K's Lazy Days of Summer Set.

MOJO 115

Hello!

Here's my submission for this week's MOJO Monday Sketch, I pulled out a couple of old favorite SU Sets for this one. I love doing square cards, and this one measures 4.25".

I don't have the names of the DP's handy for this one, being trying to use up my scrap stash box which is getting pretty full :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Inktegrity Release Day!

Happy December!

Today all those sweet images I have been previewing the last two days go on sale at the Inktegrity Store (designed by Joni). I saved my favorite idea to use with these images for today's posts. One of the great thing I have discovered (no new news to anyone else) is how flexible digi images are, you can virtually make them ANY size you want. Most of the time when I design a card, I think the sentiment needs to be smaller than the image, so not the case here! Wouldn't this be a perfect card to give to your spouse? The black and pink makes more like a romantic Christmas card, and the sentiment "Some things were mint to be" is just perfect for that occasion. I also did not use traditional christmas DP for it, that beautiful shiny black DP is from a retired SU DSP called, Rockabilly. :-)

Hope everyone has a great day!
