Mojo Monday Sketch & A Color Challenge

Today is Tuesday and I decided to combine my Mojo Sketch Card with the Color Challenge from SCS. The colors were Bermuda Bay, Handsome Hunter, Certainly Celery, and a splash of pink. I bet you are looking and saying, "Where is the Bermuda Bay?" Look close it is there--Can you find it?? Let me know if you found it or not!! My splash of pink is pretty obvious--know what I used?? Nail art stickers!!! I was doing my daughter's nails and thought these little blooms would be perfect on cards, so I went out an bought some for my stamping stash. She wouldn't let me steal hers!! Anyway I think they are perfect for this tree from Stampin Up!'s Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.

I was so excited to see that my dear friend Teresa Kline got the privilege to create this weeks sketch--I know she is jumping up and down!! She is one talented girl!! Way to go Teresa!! You make me proud!!

inspirational challenge from SCS

Here is my card for today's inspiration challenge over at SCS.
This is the piece of jewelry from Spirit Lala that I chose to use as my inspiration. I needed a sympathy card today for a friend who just lost his father. I thought the colors of this piece worked perfect for a masculine sympathy card, and I thought about this stamp set from VERVE as soon as I saw the bird. My color combo is Really Rust, Basic Black and Very Vanilla. I wanted to add some silver in there too but I just couldn't make it work on this card.

Let's Scrap Challenge

Here is my entry in the Let's Scrap sketch challenge. I have enjoyed the inspiration that I have gotten from these sketches. I didn't have enough pictures to make the sketch exactly as they called for it but I used embellishments and journaling to fill in. By playing along with these challenges I am getting alittle more caught up on my scrapbooking. I am only a year and 4 months behind.....that is really bad for me!! I usually stay pretty current but it seems like once you get behind it is really had to catch up!! So I think this year I will try to stay current with each month and work diligently at getting 2009 done as well. So here is to 2010.....may this year be one of catching up!! Happy New Year!!

2Sketches4You

I have a day to play and I just can't stop myself--gotta get all the challenges in!!

This is my card for the 2Sketches4You sketch challenge. I love the idea of red, black, and white. So very elegant!! I needed some cards for Anniversarys--in general--why?? Well, at Cabin Creekwood, when we know of an anniversary we like to place a card and gift in the cabin for the couple. Sometimes those Anniversaries creep up on me and I don't have time to stop and make a card so I like to keep some on hand. Got an anniversary coming up??? Check out our cabins!! We would love to host a romantic get away for you!!

It is a fun sketch this week....so come on out and play along.

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!!
