Creative Confetti - Share Your Fave

On a simple white card base, I cut and embossed a small square, then added Power Poppy's Hollyberries and Poinsettia on top, added some beads...DONE! I'm entering this in the Power Poppy Creative Confetti Challenge (favorite Power Poppy image).

Merry Christmas

Designing for others can sometimes be challenging...given product you just wouldn't ordinarily use.  This week's Paper Ala Mode Challenge is sponsored by Sandra Caldwell.  Her work is not what I would ordinarily be gravitated to - but since I've been become accustomed to her style - I'm now enjoying coloring her stamps.  Today's challenge, however, was a challenge - Christmas.  Now she did give us a snowman stamp and a Christmas bird stamp - both which I used previously.  For today's card, I just wanted to do something different.  So I pulled out one of Sandra's hippo stamps - and now I can't get the this Christmas song out of my head!  Visit here if you need a Hippo Christmas fix.

Cuddly Puppies

I'm here today with these cute little puppies celebrating Christmas today.  I love We Are 3 images and papers - you can mix and match.  Here I combined the Cuddly Puppies from Winter Scenes, Holly Berries digital paper, and In Stitches - they all look good together.  My design is inspired by this week's challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches #428.

                                                  

Holiday Tags

Hello, Everyone!  I'm here today to share a card using several of We Are 3's new releases - Holiday Tags, Christmas Magic, and In Stitches.  I've been keeping my cards simple lately (no mojo) - but took a Susan (Bossierre) class and was inspired to replicate the design using Christmas Magic.  

First I designed the inside, layering different papers from the Christmas Magic Collection.  I also added sentiments at the top and bottom.  I framed the entire design with In Stitches.

I resized the tags to fit four across, leaving one tag blank for our signature.  I added some frill by bordering the pop-out sections.  The pop-out section is folded in four and adhered just behind the first and last sections.  I used the same collection to layer the front of the card (outlined with In Stitches), topped off with another tag and some holiday embellishments.

  

Merry Christmas with The Outlawz!

I have loved sending out Christmas cards to family and friends over the years.  I come from a large family - and my husband comes from an enormous family (his grandmother had 18 kids!).  So my Christmas-card list is well over 100 cards each year - not to mention those I make to sell (or for others to send).  So thanks to challenges like The Outlawz Festive Friday, I'm able to get a little head start on the Christmas festivities.

Get Ready for Christmas with Paper Studio

We all know our hobby isn't a cheap hobby - that take anything in a store and slap the term "scrapbooking" on it and the price triples.  However, I bought and bought and bought while I was working - and now in my retirement, I seldom need anything new other than adhesive.  I utilize my scraps the the fullest.  This card is made with scraps leftover from a Christmas card class I taught last year - you'll be seeing a lot of this leftover paper as I embark on my nearly 200 Christmas cards full force a week from now.

Quick & Easy Christmas Card

I LOVE Christmas - so I decided to share yet another Christmas card.  I hope you enjoy it!
