Christmas Stampin' All Year Long

This is my second post today, please scroll down and see my first post from today also.

Happy Monday Everyone!!

Today's challenge over at Maria's Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog is Maria's Sketch challenge. We know that Maria makes the best sketches!! I thought this looked kind of like a gate fold card so I made my card a gate fold card. I used My Mind's Eye papers and the tree, joy, snowman and journaling spot are also My Mind's Eye. I used the lovely Snow Anya from the Rain, Snow, Shine set from The Greeting Farm. She is so cute!! I colored her with my copics and used a glitter pen on her muff and her coat and boot fluff. IRL it is super sparkly. I cut her out with my nesties and popped her and the little tree and Joy up on pop dots. For the inside of my card, I used a punch out snowman and journaling spot as my focal point and cut the green and pink cardstock out with my nesties. I put my snowman on pop dots as well. Simple, but I like how it turned out. I hope you do too!!

Be sure to visit the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog to see what the other challenge divas have created. I also have them listed on my sidebar. It's time to get started on those cards!! We'd love for you to play along, just leave a comment and a link to your creation on the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog or if you upload to SCS or PCP, use the keyword CSAYL. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Be sure to come by tomorrow to see what I have to show you.

Ginger Loves to Garden

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Ginger from InStyle Stamps looks so happy planting her flowers!! To make this card I used some of that yummy paper by My Mind's Eye. I added a couple of buttons, a pretty Martha Stewart punch and you end up with this cute card!! I love these colors, they look so sharp together. Please excuse my pictures. I just couldn't get a good picture =(

Be sure to watch for more InStyle Stamps projects in the near future! I hope you enjoy my card today and be sure to come back tomorrow to see what I have created for Flutterby Wednesday. Have a great day!

A Monkey for Madelynn!

Happy Friday everyone!
I have had a very busy couple of days. The card I'm showing you today is a quick little card that I made for Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday sketch challenge MTTSC6. I know this is last week's challenge. I'm trying to catch up!! I colored the image with my prismacolor pencils and OMS with blending stumps.I love Changito. He is so cute!! I used some yummy My Mind's Eye paper for my card. I used stickles glitter around the flower. I hope Madelynn likes it!! I layered lots of Bazzill cardstock on just like the sketch and some May Arts ribbon and dew drops to finish it off.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Stop by again soon and look at my card for this week's Twinkling Tuesday sketch.

Sweet Pigtails

Happy Tuesday everyone. Look at this sweet little girl!! She is a digi download from Squigglefly.com. It was so easy to download her, resize and print onto cardstock. I love, love, love her. I paper pieced her dress, purse and shoes (yes I cut out the little tops of her shoes). It was so worth it-how cute. I colored the rest of her with my copics. This My Mind's Eye paper is adorable, I will using a lot of it, I'm sure. I cut out the oval with my nesties and popped her up on pop dots along with the sentiment. I wanted to actually sew on my card, but I was too tired so I "hand sewed" with my pen.

Here's a closeup of this cutie:

I hope you like her as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by.
