Enjoy the Season!

I've had so much fun playing with my new stamps from Paper Garden that I just had to show you another card! :-) This one uses the Snowflake Clear set from Impression Obsession. I stamped one of the smaller snowflakes in white ink on Kraft cardstock for the bottom layer and then stamped the largest snowflake in red for the focal point. Really an easy card - even though it looks fairly elegant! Thanks for looking!

Supplies:

Snowflake Clear Set

Red Cardstock

Kraft Cardstock

White Ink

Red Ribbon

Silver Cord

Dimensionals

Nestibilities

Snowflake Charm

Holiday Nutcracker set (CDS)

MS Doily Punch

A New Challenge!!!

Today is a wonderful day! It's the first day of the new Clearly Inspired challenge over on the Clearly I Stamp blog!! Join us every other Friday for a new challenge with a wonderful Clear Dollar Stamps prize up for grabs, lots of inspiration from the my design team sisters and even a chance to be in the "Top 5"!! You don't even have to use Clear Dollar Stamps - but we'd love to see them if you have them. :-)

Our theme today is "Take 5" - since it's Clear Dollar's 5th birthday. I used a fun set that I just got called "Snowman Wishes" and made a little scene that made me laugh. :-) I used Cosmo Cricket dp and colored with Copics and add 5 brads across the bottom.

I do hope you'll join us!!!

Blessings!

Mojo 111

My dd got this adorable High Hopes image through WRAK and let me color one. Isn't she sweet? I used the Mojo 111 sketch for the week and colored with Copics. The sentiment is from a Clear Dollar Stamps set called "Charlie Harvest". Pretty straightforward. Just the way I like it! Thanks for looking!!

Jesus is Born!

I got a fun box filled with goodies from Paper Garden Projects yesterday, and thought that this intricate manger scene would be a perfect image to use with the Card Positioning Systems sketch for this week. I know that this isn't my usual open line type colored image, and I must admit that I struggled some!! I stamped the "Manger" stamp by Impression Obsession twice in Ballet Blue ink onto some Nautical Blue Medium cardstock and cut it out. Then I stamped the image in Black ink the third time and cut out and watercolored a focal image. I used the Paisley CB folder on the bottom of the brown cardstock, distressed the edges, and layered it all on a mustard card base. The sentiment is from Clear Dollar's Mini Christmas Scriptures.

ps If you read yesterday's post on Google Reader and the font was huge and wacky on the bottom of the post, I'm really sorry. It didn't look like that when I looked on the blog. Really! I don't know what happened! :-(
