Christmas Card Challenge - Day 30!!!

I made it!!!  I created a Christmas Card a day for 30 days.

Today's final prompt at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' was to scraplift a card created by earlier in the challenge.  I scraplifted my friend Suzanne.  Here is her card from Day 3.

And here is my take....

This has been a fun challenge.  I am so glad I gave it a try.  Thanks so much for all of the wonderful comments throughout the month on my cards.

Christmas Card Challenge - Day29

I can't believe I have made it this far.  1 day to go.  Tonight was a little iffy.  We had training tonight, and when we got home the TV wasn't working.  So I had to deal with that first, then dinner.  Everything is working again and I managed to get my card done too.

The prompt today at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' was Anything Goes.  I used the current sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

And here's my card....

It's a little busy.  I love this paper.  I am also entering this card into the current challenge at Delightful Sketches - Fancy and Frilly.

Thanks for looking.  Come back tomorrow for my last card for the month.

Christmas Card Challenge - Day 28

Two more days to go....  Wow.  Today's prompt at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' was Snow and Embossing.  How fun.  I chose a sketch to use again today.  I saw this sketch yesterday, and it kind of intimidated me.  But I gave it a try.  I'm not sure I like how the card turned out, but I'm hoping it will grow on me.  The sketch is from Unscripted Sketches....

The challenge at Jingle Belles this week is BINGO.  I love these type of challenges, so I wanted to give it a try.  Since I had to create a card with embossing, I chose the diagonal line - Embossing, Flowers, Bling.

And here's my card.  I knew I wanted to use the blue cardstock embossed with snowflakes.  I switched out the squares several times.  I probably should have included red squares and a red flower for a little pop.  I put crystal bling in the center of several snowflakes and on the dot of "j" on the sentiment.

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Dutch Dare Card Challenge - Bling It On

Cute Card Thursday - Bling It Up

Thanks for looking....

Christmas Card Challenge - Day 27

Day 27.  I can't believe the month is almost over... and so will be the Christmas Card Challenge.  3 more cards after today.

Today's prompt at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' was Coloring.  I don't do that very often.  Today I used a rubber stamp, instead of a digital image.

To create my card I used the current sketch at The Sweet Shop.  I thought it was perfect for what I had in mind.

And here's the result....

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Sentimental Sundays - Sewing or Faux Stitching  (Faux stitching around the image and its mat)
Craft Your Passion Challenges - Emboss It  (Dry embossed black cardstock strips)
Whoopsiedaisy Challenge - 2 Patterned Papers

Thanks for looking.

Christmas Card Challenge - Day 26

I can't believe I forgot to do a blog post yesterday.  I was doing really well, doing at least 1 for 24 days in a row.  But I was really distracted yesterday.  I was cleaning my room, then we had to go to dinner with the kids for my birthday and my son David's birthday.  When I came upstairs to get my camera, my boyfriend brought a box over to me.  While I was downstairs cleaning, he had gone to the store and got me a new camera - a Canon Rebel T3i.  I was shocked.  It's going to take me a long time to figure out how to use it.  I can't wait.

The prompt today at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' is Stripes.  I used a sketch for this card.  I used this week's card at Christmas Card Challenges.  It's so versatile.

And here's my card....

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge - Ribbons and bows

Pile It On - I Spy Something with P   (Pearls, patterned paper)

Thanks for looking.  This challenge is almost over, only 4 more days.

Me Too

I created my page today for the 52 Week Challenge at Scrappin'-n-Chattin'.  I usually try to get the page done over the weekend or early in the week.  I just didn't have time this week.

I knew last Saturday what picture I was going to use for my page this week. I had taken our dog Harley to an agility trial last Saturday.  I usually don't only take 1 dog.  Willie was pretty jealous.  When I got home, we were all outside.  Willie went through the practice tunnel that was collapsed in the backyard.  He sat in the end of it just looking up at me.  Too funny.  Of course I didn't have my camera.  As a matter of fact it had been in the shop earlier that day, so I had to put it back together.  So I did.  Of course when I got back, Willie wasn't in the tunnel any more.  But being the perfect poser, I led him back to the tunnel and asked him to go through and sit when he got to the end.  He did.

To create my page, I used this week's sketch at Sketch Inspiration.  I loved it when I saw it.  And I thought some colorful Echo Park papers would be perfect for the layout.

I never think to flip the camera for a portrait photo, so I had to flip the sketch counterclockwise.

I used chipboard letters from 2 different Thickers packages for the title, so I am also entering this layout into the current Fabulous Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs to use Chipboard.

Thanks for stopping by.  Tomorrow is cleaning day.  My scrap room is TRASHED.

Christmas Card Challenge - Day 24

It's Friday!!!  I have a rare weekend with nothing planned but training.  I HAVE to get my scrappin' room cleaned up.  It's so like a tornado went through there.

Today's prompt at Scrappin'-n-Chattin' for the Christmas Card Challenge is Anything Goes.  For some more inspiration, I followed the current sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy.

And here is my card....

I'm still having a hard time getting a good photo of my projects.  I hope to get a new set up created tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.  6 more days of this challenge.  I can't believe I made it this far.
