SS: Are You Yeti?


Are you yeti for Christmas?  Oh heck no!!

But this card is certainly cute.  It's Saturday so that means it's time for another sketch challenge over on the Sketch Saturday page.  The sketch is a cute one.  I made it into a square instead of a rectangle but it's cute either way.

Our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp and the prize is a good one ... $25 to spend in the store.  My image comes from the Simon Says Stamp store.  It's a Birdie Brown image called Beast Friends.

You are going to want to play this week!!

Crafty Hazel: Spreading Joy


Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the fun over on the Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge.  Their challenge is to make a Christmas card with an additional invitation to use the color coral.  My coral is super small: only my snowman's hat and scarf (but it IS there!)

I'm using the sketch from the Try Stampin On Tuesday site.  It was super cute.

Come join in the fun!

Well hello there.

It's Wednesday and time for another sketch challenge over on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 site.

DP: 613 Avenue Create


Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge over on the 613 Avenue Create blog.  Their theme is anything goes.

I'm using a sentiment from the Doodle Pantry set, Renewed Faith.  It's not your typical Christmas card but I thought it worked because Christmas is all about God's love.  My aunt will love it, regardless.  I hope you come join the fun.

Wasting Time



I should be cleaning the floors or doing laundry but blah ... who wants to do that?!!  So I decided to join in the coffee fun over on Dragonfly Journeys.

For my first card, I used the sketch from the Catch The Bug site.  I love this image (tho the crystal effects distorted the coloring on the coffee pot.  It looks way better in real life).

My second card uses another Bugaboo image but the sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches site.  This site is dedicated to "clean" cards.  My card is not so clean.  I have too many layers on this card to count as "clean."  Oh well, it's a cute card anyway.

And now ... I suppose I should hit the laundry!

November AIMP

I'm late posting.  Oops.

I knew that the day after Halloween was going to be a bit rough and guess what ... it was!  I don't know if it's the down after the sugar rush or what but it was ugly getting everyone out the door this morning!

It's November first (wow, I actually heard a Christmas song on the radio!  Despite spending the last few weeks making Christmas cards, I am still not ready for THAT yet).  And because it IS the first of the month, it's time for Doodle Pantry's Ants In My Pantry Digital Challenge.  Make something with a digital image and post it on the blog and YOU could win.  It's that easy.

This month I'm using Winter Critters to make yet another Christmas card (22 to go)  It might be time to mass produce!

I'm using the sketch over on the Paper Players site.  I DID flip it (mostly because I cut my sentiment backwards!)  It still works!
