Happy Sunday dear friends ...
Well, Christmas is right around the corner!
Are you ready? I think I'm as ready as I'm going to be lol.
Since I haven't had much to share with you lately on my blog, I thought I'd take a few minutes this morning and play along in a few challenges and created something fun to share with you. Here's what I've come up with . . .
As I started looking through the challenges offered over on the Paper Playful site, I spotted the AAA Cards Challenge and thought their sketch today would be my perfect starting point.
I've used an image from one of the many Penny Black 3.5" x 4" premium cardstock packs for the focus of today's card. This one was from the 'Icy Winds' pack. I double matted it using some scrap blue & kraft card stock panels. These images are great to have on hand for quick/beautiful cards!
My sentiment is from a Technique Junkies pack called 'Lovely Nature' (#SSX036). I also double matted the sentiment using Sue Wilson Frames & Tags (CED4317) in the same coordinating colors. A few Martha Stewart punched snowflakes and my card is ready for mailing.
Here are a few other challenges to share in:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge December - ATG Option Winter Wonderland
Creative Fingers Challenge #291 - ATG
My Time to Craft Challenge #549 - Something Snow-Related
Krafty Chicks Challenge #747 - CAS
A Cut Above December - ATG Die Cuts
Well, that's it for me today!
I hope you've enjoyed my quick card ...
As always,
A real beauty !!!
