Christmas Card Challenge - Day 8

I got to take a half day today, so I have been snuggling with the dogs, got my card made, and set up an agility course to work with Tessa.  After this post, I'm going to work with the dogs then work on my 52 Weeks layout.

The prompt today for the Christmas Card Challenge at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' is Anything Goes.  I used the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  It's such a versatile sketch.

I used a digital sentiment that I had ready to go for yesterday's card.  But I decided the card didn't need this sentiment.  The image is from Doodle Pantry, the Christmas Birdie collection.

Other challenges I followed:

Try It On Tuesday - Anything Goes

The Ribbon Carousel -Stitching (white actual stitching on the red paper strip and black faux stitching on the               

                                    green paper strip)

Thanks for looking.

Christmas Card Challenge - Day 2

I made it through Day 2!!!  It's a been a busy day and I still have to groom my Willie.

For today's card I used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I really loved this sketch and was very excited to use it.

The prompt for today's card at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' was to have have a reindeer on the card.  I used a digital image from  Whimsy Stamps.  The sentiment is also from Whimsy Stamps.

I am also entering this card into the 1-2-3 Challenge at Card  Makin Mamas.  The recipe is to use 1 image, 2 designer papers and 3 embellishments.  My 3 embellishments are all pearls, but used differently (string of blue pearls along the side, 3 in upper corner of the image and 1 on the holly on the deer's neck).

Thanks for looking.  Check back tomorrow for Day 3.

Another Birthday Card

As promised, here is another one of the birthday cards I created for the Scrappin'-n-Chattin' card challenge this month.  The challenge was to use all the same supplies, but in totally different ways on 3 cards.  On Tuesday, I posted one of the card I created. You can see it here.

This was the first card I created, and I had intended to give it to my oldest son for his birthday this week.  I ended up making a different one that I will share tomorrow.

I used last week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for this one.  I didn't get it done in time to get it into the challenge, but I really wanted to use the sketch.

I again used a sheet of paper from the DCWV Celebration Stack.

I am going to enter this into this week's challenge at Celebrate the Occasion which is to create a Birthday card.

Thanks for looking....
