Angels

Here's an interesting card I made. It's a little different style for me, but I love the outcome. I didn't have any angel stamps, so I found one on vintage printables dot com. The challenge at Our Creative Corner is ABC: Angels, Buttons, and Chipboard. I used a chipboard frame decorated with buttons. I used the sketch at the Sweet Stop. The colors are from the Color Throwdown. I'm also entering this into the challenge at Crazy4Challenges - put a bow on it.

Manger card for RIC

I was inspired by the Runway Inspired Challenge to make this card. I know you're probably thinking "how can this card be inspired by those dresses?" Well, let me tell you. At first, I was drawn to the cross on the back of the second dress, and I was thinking I'd just make a black sillhouette of a cross. But I really wanted it to be a Christmas card and I wanted Jesus to be prominent, so I made a black sillhouette of a manger scene - still Jesus. I really liked the splotches of red, yellow and blue on the dresses too, so I decided to tie those in with the yellow star and the blue and red words. So there you have it.

Place Cards

I haven't posted in a few days. My Thanksgiving was so exhausting that I've been vegging for 3 days straight! I made some cards yesterday, but didn't feel blogging them. But I made these place cards on Thanksgiving day. Even though it made me run a little late, I'm so glad I made them. They added just the right touch, and it was less awkward than telling our guests where they needed to sit!

These are for the CASE study challenge:
