Thanksgiving card

I'm going to make a card inspired by these challenges:
Simon Says - Thanksgiving/Thank You
Word Art Wednsday - Ps. 30:11-12
Sweet Sketch Wednesday -

Dynamic Duos -

 

I was in a big hurry to make this card, so it literally took me all of 10 minutes to make. I LOVE how it turned out AND that it glorifies the Lord!

 

Materials used:

B&Ts: Elemental, Flirty

Cardstock: White, Cranberry, Bamboo

Stamps: Say it In Style, Word art Wednesday digital stamp (not CTMH)

Ink: Black

Other: Red ribbon collection

Freshly Made and Color Throwdown

Here is a card I made using Wonderland and the Icing Overlays. I thought the colors were close enough to the Color Throwdown Challenge. I used the sketch from Freshly Made.

Here's the inside:

I interpreted the SU colors to be these CTMH colors: Cocoa, Twilight, Desert Sand, and Heavenly Blue. I would have used Lagoon instead of Twilight, but it's a little too bright, I think.

Materials used:
B&T: Wonderland
Cardstock: Cocoa, Desert Sand, White Daisy
Stamp: Everlasting Life
Ink: Cocoa
Other: Silver Shimmer Trim, Clear Sparkles, Glitter Brads, Icing Overlays, Art Philosophy cricut cartridge

Mojo Monday - sketch

Merry Monday

It's been a while since I did a card for some challenges. But, since I'm running low on Christmas cards, I thought I'd look up a few and try combining them. Here is my Merry Monday Entry. I used the inspiration from the Shabby Tea Room and Runway Inspired.

Carstock: White Daisy
Stamps: P&P scrapbooking WOTG, Holiday Wishes

Color Dare 18 Card

Here is a card I made based on a pattern from Originals. I made a 3x3 card into a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. I used the patterned papers from Flirty, La Belle Vie, and Avonlea. colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.com

I wanted to use this stamp set that I haven't used much yet. I think it's adorable!

Materials used:
B&Ts: Flirty, La Belle Vie, Avonlea
Cardstock: Bamboo, Chocolate, other off-white (not CTMH)
Stamps: Childhood Portrait, Say It In Style

Advent Calendar #2

I used my kit to make a second advent calendar. I used the insides of the frames and stamped the shapes and numbers on with black Staz-On. I cut out the outside of the shapes out of Colonial White cardstock. The colors I used are Ruby, Crystal Blue, Cocoa, New England Ivy, and Olive. I really like it. The colors are much brighter and the white does a good job of setting off the colors. This one is for my sister-in-law.

I made this advent calendar exactly like the instructions call for, only with the changes mentioned above.

November Blog Hop

Happy November! Welcome to our Blog Hop. If you arrived here from Bev G.’s Blog, then you are on the right path. If you are just starting here, simply follow the trail until you have visited all of the blogs in the hop. You will know you reached the end when you wind up back here. This month we have decided to go with Pattern 2 from the Make It From Your Heart how-to book. When you are done viewing my project, I encourage you to hop on over to Carol’s Blog and check out what she has created this month!
I have been very busy, and I have discovered that I ADORE making level 2 projects. Close to My Heart's paper pack complements are second to NONE! They make your project beautiful every time! So this month, I made a level 2 layout using Lucy (BTW, if you don't know, level 2 means no stamping). The complements to the Lucy pack are glittery rub-ons.

Unfortunately, I'm having my photos shipped, and they haven't arrived yet, so I don't have any on the layout yet. But I got some really cute pictures of my girls playing dress up to go on these pages!

Materials used:
Cardstock: Sweet Leaf (X5639), Petal (retired), & Baby Pink (retired)
B&Ts: Lucy (retired)
Complements: Lucy Rub-ons (retired)

In addition to pattern 2 of Make it From Your Heart, we are also featuring the second card pattern in the book. I made this card for the Color My Heart color dare: colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.com.

This is a fun, if cheesy little card. But my husband loves it! He thinks that robot looks like someone from Futurama. :)

Materials used:
Cardstock: Black (1386)
B&Ts: Lucy (retired), Mischief (retired), Moonlight (X7161B)
Stamps: Outta This World (C1523)
Ink: Basics Mini Pigment Pad Set (Whisper, Black) (Z2503)
