Emily & Einstein Card

If you go to Color Me Creative Classroom, you will see that they have a book club which is lots of fun and if you are a reader, come join us. The book we read this month was Emily and Einstein by Linda Francis Lee. What a terrific book it was. Of course I love any book with animals involved. What a great read. I decided to join the challenge and make a card with this book in mind. This is what I imagined Emily & Einstein to look like.

Kitty Christmas Card

Today's Christmas card was another stamp from my secret sister in SCS from Lili of the Valley Ltd. I decided to make this card for the Card Patterns: Sketch 143. I thought this sketch was great for my image.



And this is why this was the perfect stamp for me and why I always color my kitties in yellow orange. These are my 2 helpers (if that is the word you want to use). I put up my Christmas decorations today with alot of help. There is something to be said for the curious cat. I am lucky enough to have 2 of them.

Challenge Card

My secret sister on SCS sent me this darling Magnolia stamp called "Something for you Tilda". I just loved coloring her in with my copics. I used stickles for the trim around her dress and hat. She also sent me the wonderful white snowflake. I just went to my stash of goodies she sent me and came up with this adorable card. I love that I am getting my Christmas cards done along with completely a few challenges. The challenges I am entering for this card are

The Corrosive Challenge #137 - Give Thanks

I decided to make this card for The Corrosive Challenge #137 because I am always needing Thank You cards. I love this stamp - not sure of the name but I bought it at Michaels on a wood block. After coloring the butterflies, I decided they needed to show up a little more so I covered them with stickles and used glossy accents on the front of the clocks to make them look like glass. So I have added this to my stash to use. Thanks to the Corrosive Challenge Blog team for coming up with a great idea.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #94

This weeks challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is Winter Wonderland. I decided to use a card that we made last week using one of my favorite stamps from Stampin Up. I stamped the image twice and then cut out the sled. We made this card at our stamp camp. A red glitter pin was used to go around the door way.

Friday Mashup Challenge

I love these Friday Mashup Challenges because they always have such great ideas. The challenge was to use the sketch above, use a rosette or do both. I decided to try both in my card.
I used a cuttlebug leaf embossing folder and designer papers I received from my secret sister . The center of my rosette was actually at the top of a large paperclip. I took it off and it made a great center for my card. Another great challenge card done.

Christmas Card

I am still working on Christmas Cards. I know I really need to get busy if I am going to have all mine made and ready to go in the mail. Today I picked a digital image from Paper Fashions, Etc. which is from their Holiday Wrapped in Love set. I thought this snowman was just so adorable. I got my copics out and started to color. I still love the traditional red and green Christmas colors so I used some designed paper from Papertrey Ink.

I decided to enter this card in Digital Tuesday Challenge and Sketch Saturday. This is my first attempt at a digital stamp and I know it will not be the last because it was so much fun. Paper Fashions, Etc. have so many cute digital stamps. Be sure and check them out.
