Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I recently got the Snow Notes dies and I've been having a lot of fun putting these

guys and gals together.  Christmas carols are probably my favorite part of the holidays.

This guy wanted to play at Freshly Made Sketches 700th challenge.  

700 is a LOT of sketches!

They pulled out sketch 14 to play with this time.

I don't usually do square cards but sometimes I like to make a square out of a 

rectangle.  Kind of like this....

I've just started playing at Freshly Made Sketches but I see that I had played there

years ago.  I don't know why I stopped.  Probably had other things going on.

Since the team and several of my friends have shared the first card they had done 

for this challenge, here's mine from March 4, 2012 .....

  

Challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches #700 - Sketch above and below

Love Those Pretty Papers - Used Patterned Paper

NBUS #77 - Never Before Used Schtuff - Snowman Die

Have a Beautiful Birthday

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have another Garden Trio card with the Curved Stitch Edge.

I have stamped with Toffee Crunch ink onto mixed media paper and colored

with Distress re-inkers used as watercolor.

When dry, I die cut with the matching die and placed it on a panel that had been 

cut with the Curved Stitch die and then embossed with the Texture embossing folder.

I added some stenciling on the solid background and die cut and colored

some little bees to add on.

Challenges:

Four Seasons - Summer

Penny Black Saturday - Use Penny Black used option of dry embossing

Best Fishes

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I had some fishy fun lately.

The collage die used in the background was a gift from a sweet friend and had been

sitting in my NBUS box too long.

I die cut some fish from an piece of watercolor background and added a

piece of embossed waves that I found in my UFO box to go with it.

I didn't have any fishy sentiments so I did some on the computer and die

cut with a banner die.

For this card, I used another collage die and did some sponging and stamping

on the background.  After stamping some bubbles, I embossed the top panel

and added a goldfish.

Thanks to this sweet friend, I have two more birthday cards for the stash.

Challenges:

Just Us Girls #788 - Word Week - Birthday

Seize the Birthday #311 - No Flowers

Creepy Tweet

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When I saw these puffy birds all decked out for Halloween,

I just had to order the stamps!

These guys make me smile!

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #699 for this round guy.

His belly made me thing of Verena's sketch.

I tried to use the sketch for the whole card and needed to put the sentiment a

bit lower.  I hope that's okay.  My eyes keep going to his belly anyway.

Challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches #699 - See sketch above

Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - Third Week E for embossing

Two Old Bats Halloween - ATG Halloween (did not use the mood board)

NBUS #77 - Never Before Used Schtuff (stamps)
