Snowman on Layers

Here is a card I made for Christmas Challenges with Sketches using the sketch they provided.  I have really been getting into this site as it give me an opportunity to use my scraps and gives me a new way of giving dimension to my cards.

I have used my all-time favorite snowman stamp.  I have used it so much; it is one made by Hero Arts.  The greeting is by Stampin'  Up.

I hope you like my card.  All the layers really give the card body.

I used some scraps I had and stuck with brown tones for Fall.

Following a Sketch

Here is a card I made following a sketch on Christmas Challenges with Sketches.  It has multiple layers of Christmas paper, some die cuts and a digital image I have had for a long time, but I don't but know its origin.   The picture of the two tags are the ones that go inside the front of  the card.

Layer Upon Layer

I'm getting in the mood for Christmas.  Here is a multi-layer 6-inch square card.  I have been able to use a lot of scraps from Christmas past with this card.  My folded tree is the focal image of the card instead of a digital or stamped image.  I have my Christsmas message / greeting  inside.  This card is being entered in Christmas Challenges with Sketches.

Going Vintage

Here is a vintage card I made using a digital from Just Some Lines.  This is my inspirational piece for their challenge of Recycling and Repurpose..  I used a pair of earrings that I had made and I hadn't worn them in a long time.  I thought they were the perfect color to include with my flowers.

I am also entering this in Cheery Lynn Designs' challenge Vintage.  Cheery Lynn dies are the Celtic Fire Rectangle Frame and the Build a Flower #2 and Embellishment  #2.  These are the very first flowers I have made with the Build A Flower dies.  I am very pleased how they turned out.

Butterflies for Remembering

1,500,000 Innocent children perished in the Holocaust.  In an effort to remember them, Holocaust Museum Houston is collecting 1.5 million handmade butterflies.

 

The butterflies will eventually comprise a breath-taking exhibition for all to remember. The exhibition dates will be announced once an appropriate venue has been selected. The Museum has already collected an estimated 1,350,000 butterflies.

Below are the butterflies that my card group is sending to the museum.  You may want to join the Butterfly Project.  For more information check the Houston Holocaust Museum web site.

Reminder for JSL Challenge

This is a reminder for Just Some Lines' "Anything Halloween".  The challenge is in its second week of the challenge.  You still have a little time to enter.  Below is my inspiration for the challenge.

My little card is a 6 x 6 square one. with many layers.  I beieve there are 6 layers not counting the matting for each layer. All these layers really made a sturdy card and it gave me a chance to use up of  my Halloween paper scraps.  The little girl in her devil costume was colored with Copics. 

Don't forget to put in your entry to the challenge.

Winter is on the Way

Well, we have really had warm weather so far this fall, but now the temperature is falling and all the little squirrels and other animals are getting ready for the cold.  Cold weather means "snow".  We really don't usually get much snow in Tennessee, but making cards about snow in the warm house, suits me just fine.  Here is my first one for this year..

I am this in Christmas Challenges with Sketches.

Following a Sketch

This is the sketch that Our Daily Bread Designs is using for their challenge ODBDSLC126 this week.

 

This is the card I made following the sketch above.

 

On the white base I placed a piece of lavendar designer paper of roses.  On top of that are two lacey circles by Spellbinders. These were stamped with two Our Daily Bread Design stamps.  Next I placed a silver ornate trim from the fabric department at Wal-mart.  As a final touch are two strips of purple ribbon, a bow and a corner adorner cut with  a Cheery Lynn Designs die.

 

I am also entering this in Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #50, Corner Adorners.

October Colors --Black and Orange

 

Well the colors for October are black and orange.  So I pulled out those colors from my stash.  Below is what I created with the items I found.  I used the small lacey butterfly die from Cheery Lynn Designs with a backing of light orange cardstock.  The sentiment "Time Flies" is on a matted die by Spellbinders.  The trail of the butterfly is made with a glossy flourish sticker.   Everything was placed on a designer paper blackground of clocks.  I am also entering this on Cheery Lynn Designs' Challenge #49 "Black and Orange".
