Plaid tree Christmas - SCC #175

Hello!  It is August 1 and time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  I got to choose our theme this month and chose "include a tree" which is pretty easy for a Christmas card! :). 

Here is my card...

I inked the Kraft panel through Echo Park Star Bright stencil.  My trees are MFT Cool Christmas cut from random plaid paper from my Christmas paper stash.  The sentiment is from Concord & 9th Yuletide Ornament.  

Challenges:

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #760 - Christmas

ABC Christmas N or O - Non-Christmas stash or One layer card (I used a non-Christmas stencil) 

The Holly and the Ivy #188 - AG Christmas 

This year is flying by, so come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge and work on your Christmas card stash! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

I know that my Redeemer lives! - TMS #750

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Oops!  I'm late getting my post up. :O  It's been a busy few weeks with  my daughter getting married.  But the "I do" is all said and they are man and wife! <3  My body and brain are in after-the-wedding-release-crash-mode, but I'll get back into the groove of things soon, hopefully. ;) 

Here's my card... 

This was simple to put together.  The sentiment/image was in my box of printed digis, so I cannot remember where it is from.  It is cut out with CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  I did not create the extra frame shown in the sketch below, but I thought the frame in the image itself and the double stitching on the die would count. :)  The BG panel is Crate Paper Bloom and inked with Color Box Cat's Eye Merlot. 

Here's the sketch...

We'd love to have you play along with us!! 

Here's one pic from the wedding.  It's just a snapshot of our family. <3

And if you don't know what my card means or don't have a personal relationship with God, we'd love to have you tune in to our Easter program this Friday evening at 7 PM EST or Sunday morning at 10 EST as we celebrate the resurrection of the Jesus Christ who is our Redeemer.   You'll find it at fbcm.live or on our FB page...   https://www.facebook.com/fbcmilford

Wedding day wishes - TMS #619

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm been making lots of sympathy cards lately, but this one is a happy card! :)

I needed a card for a wedding, and had made one that was very traditional.  Then I decided I wanted to make one a little less so, and this is it. 

I embossed my background with Darice Crackle.  My flower is Technique Tuesday Cosmos.  My paper was from my scrap box, and the green twine was from my stash.  My sentiment is Papertrey Ink Wedding Mini Stamp Set and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. 

Here is our sketch...

Challenges...

Merry Christmas to Ewe - TMS #523

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Last year, I only sent Christmas cards to close family.  This year, I hope to send to everyone on my list.  I'm well on my way, but still need about 40 more. Here's one, so only 39 left! :D 

My image is Bugaboo Stamps' Merry Christmas to Ewe.  I printed it on Kraft, colored some with my Spectrum Noir markers, and scribbled with a white Gelly Roll pen for the wool.  It was cut out with Cross Stitched Rectangles from Cheapo Dies.  My papers were from my scrap box.  

Here's our sketch for the week...

Endless possibilities - TMS #475

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week's sketch is so fun... with endless possibilities!  You can change up the decorative element in many different ways... I actually made 5 cards with 3 different elements... paisley, snowflakes, and flowers! :)  
Here's the first one...

I created and cut these paisleys using Make-the-Cut and my Cricut.  The sentiment is Spellbinders Die D-Lites Sentiments 6.  My paper is from my scrap box.  A few sequins finished if off.  

Another paisley card... using Stampin Up Paisley Framelits. 

Snowflakes, anyone?

Sweet n Sassy snowflakes and Pink and Main sentiment die 

Sorry for the reflection of my red sweater!! :D 

That silver card is my favorite, so I'm entering it into a few challenges...

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas #407 - anything goes or twist (I did AG)
52 Christmas Card Throwdown Oct Colour challenge - silver
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #486 - Christmas
