2011 Christmas Card Challenge #1

Here is card #1 for 2011 Christmas card challenge!!
My goal this year is to play every week and make
at least two of the same card!!
The challenge was to make a monochromatic card.
I used scraps and a new Christmas stamp I just
got from CTMH. The whole card is made with
Close to my Heart products.

I have so much stuff...I need to use it up!!
When I do start scrapping I will make a card
using the scraps. I refuse to add to my scrap pile!!
Hope you have a safe and Happy New Year's Eve.

Mojo Monday #171

I'm back!!!
I have missed my scraproom!!!
I turned it into a bedroom for three and a half weeks...
My grandmother was here visiting for the holidays.
I finally put it all back together on Monday.
My computer was/is acting up...
(trying to convince my hubby I need a laptop)
I have been missing my daily dose of blog hopping!
This is the first card I made this week.

I am trying to play catch up on my 2011 Christmas Card Challenges!!
I hope you all have a great day.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Save the Date cards...

Happy Thursday!!
I know I've been a very bad blogger! With the Holidays
and having my Grandmother visit from Utah...I have
NO TIME to sit and create!
My Grandmother will be here for another week or so and
then I promise to get back to crafting and posting on
my blog.
My brother in law is getting married in May!!
They are having a destination wedding...whoo hoo!!
My future sister in law called me and asked me if I could
come up with some kind of Save the Date cards with
a Hawaiian destination theme.
Here is a rough sample....

Wanted it to look like a boarding pass...

and of course the boarding pass pouch which will
go into an envelope.
So, what do you think? what would you change or add?
She wanted me to use turquoise and sand colors.
I love the way the Kraft paper looks with the
turquoise flower.
See you soon!

Elf Oliver

Here is a cute little card I did the other day!!
It was so EASY!! the card is actually a premade
card from the dollar bin at Michaels!!
I just colored Elf Oliver and added some bling
on the holly!! I made eight of these and I will
be using them for gift cards!

Hope you all are enjoying you Sunday!
I hope to be back tomorrow with this weeks Christmas
card challenge and a new mojo Monday card...
Happy crafting!

My last Thanksgiving Day card for 2010!

Here is my last Thanksgiving Day card for this year!!
(I promise) i need about 6 more cards but didn't
have time or many scraps left over so I decided
to do a clean and simple card...
I stamped Farming Oliver (from Sparkle Creations)
right on the cardstock and
then used my copics to color him in and of
course I did some doodling and added the flower
and button. The sentiment is from TPC Studio.

I am loving this card!! I have to say I think
it's one of my favorite!! and I will
be making a few Christmas cards like this using
Holiday Emily....stay tuned I will post
a picture as soon as I get her done.
Have a great Saturday!

Cafe Lucy...

I received my new stamps from Sparkle Creations
the other day and I couldn't wait to ink them!!
I also knew I wanted to make a different
size card. (getting a little bored with the same size)
This is what I came up with...I just measured a legal
size envelope and went from there.

It is a little LARGE!! I Love it!!
And since I am such a coffee freak...this
image is just perfect for me!!
The sentiment is from just rite stampers
Enjoy your Friday and your weekend.

Thankful for you

Here is my card for this weeks SCRS challenge.
This week our challenge is giving thanks and
SCRS is also sponsoring TMS,
their challenge is cupcakes!
So, this image is perfect for both challenges!
(The sketch is also from TMS)
I made this card with a very special friend
in mind...I won't say her name but she will
know when she gets it!

Of course these are all scraps!! I even used
a piece of scrap to paper piece her dress.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
I will be inking all day...I received my new
stamp order from Sparkle Creations yesterday!!!
(Thank You Sparkle! I LOVE them!)
