Mojo Monday Sketch Challeng & a freebie....

Here is my card for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge:
I used the free digi download that you will see below for my main panel--also used Basic Black and Whisper White from Stampin Up. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Small Script. This is one of those cards that went together very quickly due to the fantastic paper. Finished it off with some ribbon and a snowflake brad. Very simple--yet elegant!!
I filled the sketch for my card--did this to accommodate the digi paper. Check it out below....

.......isn't it great!! They are offer this 4 Shades of Blue pack free right now over at The DigiChick. Today is the first time ever that I have tried Digi paper--I might be hooked!! That was easy and fun!!

Verve Digi Challenge

Verve is offering a free Digi between now and Dec 25. Stop by and get your today!! They are alway hosting a challenge to make a card using this freebie. Here is my card for the challenge. I used Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and Whisper White Cardstock. I also used a Chipboard button that I had in my stash. I love the way the black ribbon and leather pops out and makes the sentiment stand out. These mittens are perfect for the weather we have going on here in VA--the biggest snow storm in 13 years!! It has been a blast!! Not getting much stamping done--snowing the snow with the family!!

Winter Wonderland!!

It is a winter wonderland out side!! We got 25+ inches of snow!! That is a really big storm for VA!! This is my 15 year old--he just flopped backwards to show how deep it is!! Our poor puppy just could not make it around--he is too short for such deep snow!!

Place settings....ssnotime118/OCC Let it snow challenge

My pastor's wife is having an open house and I made this "tents" to put beside her food items so that her quest could know what each item on her fantastic spread was. I am so tickled with how they turned out!! How did I get them to stand up?? I glued a second Nesstie that I folded in half to the bottom of the card--it perfectly sets the card upright. I am alittle nervous that she will not even get to use them--we are suppose to get a big snow storm!! It is suppose to start snowing tonight and snow all day tomorrow!! Since their open house is scheduled for Saturday evening.....well it just may not happen!!

Check out this challenge: help fill blog land with all kinds of snow!! I decided that this place card fit perfectly with the ssnotime118. Come on out and play along with all your snow buddies!!

Also check out the Our Creative Corner--Let it snow challenge!!

JOY!!

Joy!! Joy!! I am so excited.....they are calling for a white Christmas!! It is suppose to snow starting tonight and snow all day on Saturday and then the temps are not suppose to get any higher than 30--that means no melting--thus a white Christmas!! Yeah!! My card today is for the Limited Supply Challenge over at SCS and the Sketch Challenge over at Our Creative Corner. I made a 4 inch card for today--the limited supply challenge was to use gold or silver and trim your card. I added gold thread to my ribbon and I used gold foiled letters. My background was embossed using a embossing folder--no stamping, just some cool paper crafting!!

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #117

Here is my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I have been finishing up Christmas shopping these last two days, so my card making has taken alittle bit of a back burner. I used Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, and some DP from Stampin Up. The stamps are ones that I won from VERVE. I added alittle bling to finish off the card. I hope each one of you are having a happy holiday season!!

Got the Soft Suede itch......

I am so loving this color combo!! I just love Soft Suede--will be so sad when it is discontinued at the end of this catalog--same way I hated to see Baja Breeze go!! I still have a stash of it and use it very sparingly!! I hope you like my creations--the layouts were inspired by the VivaLaVerve challenge. Check it out and play along! The pictures do not do the cards justice today because you can't see the embossed backgrounds. I used the texture plates from Stamping Up on both of these backgrounds. The White one is also sprayed with shimmer paint--can't see that either!! Oh well......
