Peace on Earth Challenge #122

 

Hello Friends and welcome back to my blog! 
SO happy you stopped by!

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the PEACE ON EARTH CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.  Of course the theme is Anything Christmas and we hope you'll come join in the fun! 

Here's a fun inspiration board we've created to help get you started ...

 

 I just love these Santa images ... makes me smile and think back to my childhood!

 Here's what I've created for you today . . .

 I've used a panel from the Echo Park 'Gnome for Christmas' 6x6 pack for my background and being 2 sided, the strip I cut off I flipped over and used it across the top as an accent.  

Santa is a 3D Topper from the Hearty Crafts 'Santa Claus' set (HC13737).  He is mounted onto a die cut panel from the Memory Box 'Shaker Square Frames' (#30030) and a die cut snowflake that was laying on the work table was added for extra dimension. 

 PLEASE be sure to pop over to THE BLOG and check out the amazing designs our design team has created for your inspiration.  What a group of talented ladies!!  Then come join in the fun!!  

 As always ... thanks again for stopping by!

Think Pink

Can You Handle the Pressure - Twist - Birthday

 

Hello Friends, thanks for stopping by today!

We have a new challenge starting today over on our new Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog and the TWIST theme is ...

Birthday

Remember, the twist is optional but you MUST use an embossing folder on your projects to qualify for the prize.  Heat embossing is also permitted but only in conjunction with an embossing folder.

 Here's what I've created to inspire you today ...

 

 

 

 Today I've used a beautiful embossing folder by Paper Rose called 'Leafy Garden'.  This is a 3D folder and is 5x7 in size.  

 

 

 

My beautiful sentiment is a stamp/die set by Heartfelt Creations and was an RAK from my crafting friend Sandy in North Carolina.  Coloring was done with Tombow markers.  The butterflies are from an AALL & CREATE 'lairy wings' pack of ephemera die cuts and were popped up with dimensional tape.  

 

 

 

 I do hope you'll come check out our challenge blog and play along.

Challenges to share in:

Wishes and Dreams

 Hello Friends . . .

Happy Friday ... hope you have a fun weekend planned.

I made this card a week or so ago when I was cleaning up some scraps from my work table and thought today would be a good day to share it with you.    I've grown very fond of using my scraps in this manner ... you can go any direction!  Always fun to see the final design. 

 

Inside view

 Here are a few challenges I spotted over on Paper Playful that I think this card fits.

 Fab'n'Funky Challenge #643 - Three of Something (ends 11/7)
'I Spy with my Little Eye #41 - Added Text (background text or sentiment) (ends 10/18)
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Use Patterned Paper (ends 10/14)
Ellibelle's Garden Party #20 - ATG in or from a garden (ends 11/9)

 Other than the scraps of card stock & designer paper, I have used the EP-43-Ephemera - Crassulacae Bits.

 

 An old wooden stamp for the front cover sentiment and Tutti Designs 'Happy Birthday' dies for the inside sentiment.

Wishing you a fabulous day ahead . . .
