Thank You

Made this card for the woman at the little cottage we stayed at in Maine. A sweet woman owns the cottages and was very hospitable and was very helpful.

I followed the color scheme at Colour Create and the sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping
The stamps were from SU and the sentiment is from Stampendous. The ribbon is also from SU!

Let it Snow

Since I cut out one snowman for the last card for Frosted Designs snowman theme- I did another - this time he was cut from Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge at 1 3/4 to fit the layout at PinkGem. To assist me with the layout I used the color theme at Colour Create - fabulous challenge to use Red, White/off white, chocolate and pink.
All the embossing and sanding is from the Cuttlebug snowflake 5x7 embossing folder. Love it! you can pick the snowflake you want
Let it snow is a little Sizzlits. Brads added in the color per the layout allowed me to enter this in Practical Scrappers brads challenge. These are mini brads from Michael's

Best Wishes

I made this card for my Brother-in-law who loves elephants.
His birthday is in a week so these challenges helped me get this done and in the mail today.
This card that resulted from these challenges:
1) One stop challenge #65– make it personable (elephant for my BIL from Cricut Zoo Balloo at 3")

2) At Colour create #37 we had to use pink blue white silver

3) Paper Cutz #26 Masculine card w/pink

4) and at Get Sketchy #23 – use their layout to pull it all together

5) Frosted Designs – emboss something – I embossed the back ground with the Cuttlebug folder.

The sentiment is from Stupendous and I used the Stampin up label punch as well

I made this card for a Cricut Fairy Mission for a little girl with a form of childhood cancer. I am a member of the Cricut Card Fairy - so I am dedicating most of my cards today - to create and mail them to the current missions.
To help me create this card I used 4 challenges
1) Cuttlebug Spot - use the #10 (my 10 wishes - butterflies) 10 cut at 3/4" from A Child's Year cartridge. Butterflies were punched using Martha Stewart punch. The back ground of the card is a Cuttlebug numbers folder.
2) Daring cardmaker to use points - the points is the Marta Stewart star border punch
3) Colour Create Challenge #36 was to use the colors - Kraft, Blue and White
4) And to tie it all together - I use the sketch from The Pink Elephant

Mission 501

Joy - using A Child Years winter cut

I love this cartridge - A Child's Year! I used it for the children.

Here is one of 2 cards I made this morning. (I'll post the second one after this as not to make this post too long.

The winter cut was cut at 3" and I used this for 3 challenges 1) Charisma Cardz Challenge # 44 - Sketch at Charisma Cardz 2) Challenge 31 - BLUE, SILVER and WHITE at Colour Create Challenge Blog if we throw in WINTER and GLITTER all the better. and 3) Just Buggin’ Challenge #10 -Just Bling it!! Use glitter or glitter glue on your die cuts and it must include at least one Cricut die cut must be used on your project.

Irridesence paper for the back drop of the children, MS snowflake punch with silver gems. The sentiment if from SU!

Joy - all white card

At Colour Create the Challenge 30 - ALL WHITE card. What better way than to use embossing folders and Spellbinders. I just bought these from Die Cuts R Us and they are gorgeous.

Joy was cut from Cricut cartridge Joys of the Season. Pearls were added for bling.

The inside was punched using Martha Stewart border lace punch - one of my favs!
