A Sparkly Winter Wonderland
Greetings everyone! I hope this Christmas week is filled with cheer for you. We had some fresh snow on the ground last night, and today I felt really festive and ready to make up some new Christmas cards to send out tomorrow. For this card, I used my Big Shot and SU square scallop die to cut out my card shape. Next I stamped my ice skater images, colored them in, dabbed it all over with Versamark and embossed it with SU's iridescent ice to make it shimmer all over. Then, I just layered everything. I used SU Basic Black, Whisper White and Taken with Teal colors. Very wintry!
There are some great creative challenges out there right now that inspired me to go for this theme. This card is for three of my favorite challenges this week. Check them out to see some great ideas! Have a glorious holiday season!

PPA 20 Color Challenge
Soft suede, crushed curry, and old olive made the color challenge this week at PPA. It was tough to know what I wanted to make with these colors, but I opted to go with an out of the way Valentine love card since my Christmas mojo has been in a constant swirl for weeks and needs a break. What can I say?...The hearts showcasing the colors inspired me! Above is my take on the combo. I am loving my square scallop sizzix frame from SU, and I think it nicely showcases the "love you" sentiment from Dreams du Jour. Thanks for looking!
Materials used: Kiwi Kiss ribbon, Dreams du Jour, Old Olive and curry markers, small half pearl on glue dot for center of flower, square scallop sizzix die.
Paper: Vanilla, curry, olive, soft suede, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP

PPA 19 Holiday Photo Challenge
Holiday Greetings to one and all! This week at PPA, the challenge is to gather inspiration from this photo and create something spectacular.
I love ye old vintage feel, and I immediately thought of using the "Sleigh Bells Ring" set to feature on my card. I added glitter to the image, but very little other color to keep it looking a little more like old-fashioned sepia tones. The red and green provide some color just like in the photo, and I even dug out my fancy corner punch to frame it all. Thanks for looking!

PPA 17 Sketch Challenge
Greetings! This week as soon as I saw the skectch by Margaret Moody, I knew I wanted to do a frosty window scene, but it took me all week to get down to business! What I did here was to punch squares using my SU square punch out of black cardstock, then I layered acetate behind the "window." I stamped the tree image from SU's "Old Fashioned Christmas" onto white, added some glittery stickles to dress it up and sponged yellow around the tree as if the inside room was warm and full of light. I adhered my designer paper to the black card base and then applied the tree image with the window over it popped up on dimensionals. For the icicles, I used the lace-edged SU punch with white and silvery paper. The sentiment is from "To You and Yours." I wish the pictures would turn out better...it looks much nicer in person. Thanks for looking!Tuesday, November 17, 2009
