12.26.2017 F4A409 Split coast Challenge

The F4A409 Challenge this week was to use fruit images, so I used these lovely grapes from Gina K. Designs, from a stamp set called Better with Age. Memento ink to stamp and copic markers to color the fruit and leaves.  I placed the image on a scalloped oval and added some dimensionals, to give  additional interest.

Sat. 12.23.2017 This is for 2 Challenges!

This is for the MOD Squad Challenge- a Winter Scene and also for the double D challenge for a Winter card. The snowflakes are little metal embellies, but I did fussy cut the house and Santa, after coloring with Copic markers.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

12.18.2017 F4A408 Challenge

This is for the F4A408  Split Coast Challenge, Sweet Treats, with a Masculine flavor.  I used an image from The Sweet Thing stamp set from Gina K. Designs and then I added the sentiment from this set also. The frosting was colored with Gamsol and colored pencils. A few gems anchored the sentiment panel to the CS base.

Sat., Dec.16, 2017 Merry and Bright Poinsettias

A beautiful Saturday to play with my GKD  kit and too many stamps and dies to layer and add to this card, make me one happy camper!  Thanks for visiting.  It is 42 degrees here in Wisconsin today and does not seem like Christmas is only 9 days away. So strange!

Thurs. Dec. 14, 2017 Trees with Sparkle

Here is a quick Christmas card with those fabulous trees.  A simple card with a touch of sparkle, to get your attention.  Gina K Designs trees are a keeper for always!

Wed., Dec.13, 2017 A Merry Christmas Tree card

Here is another Christmas creation.  I love these trees from Gina K. Designs.  I added a few gem stickers to the center tree for a little sparkle, and some Stickles touches to the other two trees.

So happy that you stopped by to take a peek.

12-12-2017 Let's Celebrate

Playing with die cuts, and came up with this one, on my daughter's 44th birthday today!

Wed. 12. 6. 2017 A Christmas Medallion

This is another really old stamp set that I was playing around with yesterday and decided I should make another Christmas card with it.  I think 2011 was a year I received a lot of stamps that needed a little love and use again. I added some pearls to spice it up a bit too.  I am sure it is long ago discontinued set!    

Tues. Dec. 5, 2017 A Sympathy Card

I was just playing in my craft room today and decided to make a Sympathy Card with a stamp set from my stash from 2011.  Yes I still like these trees and  these trees are perfect for this type of card.  After I was through making it, I shocked myself as to how long I have had this set!  Boy, time really goes by quickly, doesn't it?

12.3.2017 Winter Cheer Snowman

I guess I am thinking about the snow that will be here before I know it.  I chose to fussy cut and color this cute snowman from Gina K. Designs. It is only 53 degrees here today, but.....

we need to prepare, right??

Thank you for visiting my latest card!

Sat. 12. 2. 2017 Winter Wishes and Snowman

I made this card yesterday while waiting for my friend to come over and we could go to lunch.  I had so much fun creating this one.  Apparently we will be getting snow here before we know it. It is December, right?

This is a Gina K. stamp set from 2014 that I colored with Copic markers, colored pencils and then added glitter and a gel pen to which I added even more glitter to make it look like it's snowing! I fussy cut the little guy and then also popped up with sentiment for added dimension.
