AHSC606 Warm Wishes

Happy Monday, peeps! The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge was a challenging one for me this week, for sure!  Here we go:


And here we go:


I admit that I think I have Christmas card burnout---nothing that I was coming up with was working with this sketch!  I finally came up with this one, and even on this one, I didn't position the vertical strips quite the way I wanted!  Anyway, I used an older CTMH stamp set, stamping the sleigh and snowflakes in Misty Moonlight, then adding some Dazzling Diamonds glitter around the perimeter:


I did make a second one, using scraps from a Christmas paper pack, and tags from The Greetery:


I can't wait to see what everyone else creates with this sketch!  Check it out over at AHSC and share yours with us as well!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

PP718 Peaceful Deer

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Wow, happy December...that month flew by!  It's my turn to be the hostess over at the Paper Players this week, and the theme I've chosen is "Be a Deer"---add a deer to your project!

It wasn't my plan to be so literal in my interpretation of the sketch, but I had a piece of Winter Meadow on my desk and I liked how it looked like a wintery sky, so I went with it!  Here we go:


I have several deer dies, but I hadn't used this Papertrey one for a while; I diecut it in white and stamped the antlers and legs in Misty Moonlight ink:


I placed him on a stitched hill then added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp along with some of the "greenery" from the same PTI set:


The background looked a little bare, so I added some glimmer stars, a couple of rhinestones and a few Poppystamps Whittle trees!  The inside sentiment is from CC Designs called Fanciful Christmas:


While I had the die out, I decided to make a second card since I just got a die I had been wanting for a long time (Michele is such an enabler!):


This time I stamped my deer in Pecan Pie on some Kraft cardstock, then added the background DSP, the double scalloped borders and a sentiment from Hope & Peace.  I am sure you'll be seeing a bit more of this fun die!  And we hope to see YOU in the Paper Players gallery, showing off your deer!  It doesn't have to be Christmas; deer are great for masculine cards, baby cards, anything!  Can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for visiting today!

The last of my "smalls"!  Now I have some bigger projects to frame or finish somehow....more work, more money, LOL!




 Enjoy your day and be blessed!
