Sketch Saturday Challenge...Pick Any Previous Sketch

This week's challenge from Sketch Saturday was to pick a sketch from the archive.  I picked the sketch from November 23rd.  I missed this one originally so thought this week was a good opportunity to play along.

"Less Is More" Challenge #409

Pick a triangle...leave 2/3 of the card empty...that was the challenge from the "Less is More" team.  

This is what you get...Stampin Up's Winter Wood stamp set and matching die along with a bit of bling!!  Yes, they are right...sometimes "Less is More"

Fab Friday #177 & Inspired By #100

Pink Christmas...I like it!!  Today's card was created for the sketch challenge from Fab Friday and the Pink Christmas challenge from Inspired By.  I love pulling non traditional colors into my Christmas cards.  Not much stamping on this card...just a few snowflakes in Blushing Bride and the Season's Greeting sentiment from Stampin Up's Winter Woods set.  A snowflake card just isn't complete without a little bit of bling!!  


3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts)  gifts circling, crowning, and crafted...The bright red cardinal that keeps circling my bird feeder this morning!!  They say hair is your crowning glory, since I shave my along with a friend who is going through chemo, I realized there is some truth to that!!  Crafted...lots of cards for this weekend's Christmas in the Square event in our town!!

Paper Craft Crew Challenge #360

Here is my take on another fun sketch from Paper Craft Crew.  I used a new Stampin Up Set that was gifted to me by my up-line for my 21 years with Stampin Up!!  This was the first card I made with it...looking forward to getting creative with it!!  

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) three gifts shining...Christmas lights//earring I just found hidden in a pocket that I cleaned...they look brand new//Christians shining brightly for their Lord and Saviour!!

Freshly Made Sketches #413

Here is my take on the unique sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches.  I wish I would have had more time to play with this sketch...it has so many possibilities!!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!!  We sure enjoyed our time with our extended family. There were nineteen of us together at a beach house this year!  Such fun...good food, great conversations, paddle boarding, fishing, shelling, puzzles and games!!

CASology #356...FAITH

FAITH is the cue card for the current challenge from CASology.  I figured nothing says FAITH more than a scripture verse.  So...here is Psalm 121:1-2!!  I kept my card very clean and simple (CAS) and added just a small touch of sparkle with the red rhinestone at the center of the cross.  


3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts)  3 gifts white...fluffy clouds//white sandy beaches//crisp line dried sheets
