Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #83

Hello everyone!

It's that time again - time for another amazing sketch from our talented Team!  Here is this week's sketch:

Now, of course I'm in a Christmas frame of mind so I was inspired to come up with this cute little card:

This one used a big variety of supplies fr Close to My Heart (Striped Ribbon, Juniper, Slate, Colonial White paper and Juniper, Slate & Archival Black Ink), Stephanie Bernard for Sizzix (Stamps & Dies),Simon Says Stamp (Lipstick Red Ink), Stampin' Up! (sentiment and punch) and the snowflake paper was from my stash!

I hope you enjoy my card and I look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge!

Creative Corner Challenge - Let it Sparkle!

Hello everyone!

What a fun challenge we have over at Creative Corner Challenges this week!

When I hear the word SPARKLE - I automatically think of twinkling Christmas ornaments or sparkling snow.  Since it is November, I figured I would work on a winter themed card.  Here is what I came up with:

It sure is hard to photograph glitter and embossing details!  I used Dazzling Diamonds loose glitter, blue loose glitter, blue embossing powder and a tinsel embossing powder on the elements of this card.

I think this angle shows the details more.  Stamps are from Close to My Heart and Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join us this week!

Cheers!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #79

Hello all!  

This week was a rough one for Canadians.  The loss of two soldiers was a big deal and I felt called to use this week's sketch to create something to honor those who lost their lives protecting our country.

Here was the sketch:

Here is my creation:

Inside of card:

I used all Close to My Heart supplies. The stamp set is a retired set called "Strong and Free":

Colors used were Black and Cranberry.  My daughters and I will be dropping this card off at our local RCMP office with some treats this week to thank them for all they do for us!

I hope you will come and play along with us this week!

Until next time,

BOO! I'ts almost that time....

Hello!

It's getting to be that time of year - leaves are falling, colors are changing and the Halloween/Fall Decor starts to appear!

I was feeling a little crafty this morning, so I decided to play around a bit with a frame and the Scaredy Cat Paperpack from Close to My Heart.

I took a simple frame from the craft store and applied the patterned paper with Bonding Memories glue.  Next, I sanded the edges smooth with a sanding block and applied Sunset Ink with a sponge.  I used a retired stamp set called "Wicked" and stamped the witch, cat and witch hat with Black ink  I fussy cut them out and sponged the edges with Thistle ink.  Notice on the witch, I colored her socks with our new Twin Touch(TM) Shinhan(TM) markers. 

I also stamped "Have a Wicked Halloween" in Thistle ink directly onto the paper covered frame. 

I finished it off with a few black rhinestones I had in my stash.  I think it turned out great!

Until next time,
