My Christmas Wish List!

Seasons are changing and the weather is getting a bit cooler here in Texas. I don't like cold weather at all, but I do love the Christmas decor popping up all around town.

Here's my 1st Christmas card of the season!
I'm going to make 15 more handmade cards (all with different designs). Hope you like my first one. :-)

Do you like my fancy ribbon design? I wanted to do something special to the ribbon instead of laying it flat on the card.

I also mixed patterned paper, with a splash of canvas (the tag & star), and a dash of chipboard (the tree and journaling tag) on this one. Instead of journaling on the chipboard tag...I laid the tree and star on top to frame it. I always want to try and use my supplies in different ways ;-)



Challenge:
Wee Memories - Challenge 31 - Patterned Paper

Card Recipe:
Cardstock: Stampin Up; Canvas Tag: ; Canvas Star: Jillibean Soup; Chipboard: My Mind's Eye - I Believe collection; Patterned Paper: Stampin Up - Candy Cane Christmas; Ribbon: Celebrate It



Pure Bliss!

Fall is on it's way and orange seems to be the Kewl color these days! I'm catching up on my card making this week so I decided to make one with this festive color.

Wee Memories is having a fun challenge this week using orange, scallops, and string. You can opt to do 2 of these or all three. I used scallop border along with bright orange on this one.

I also added orange butterflies to this after being inspired by this beautiful Cascading Orange Monarch Butterfly Feather Headband by Pegasus Maiden on Etsy. I also entered this into the fun Etsy Inspired challenge this week.

  
Here's a closer look at the butterflies that I used.

Crowns and Butterflies!

I'm back...and this time with 2 card projects. I'm in such a scrappy mood lately that I've been creating all kinds of new projects. Please keep reading to see my other card creation.

My first card pictured above is for the Etsy Inspired Challenge. This week they are featuring the Cathy Walters Etsy shop. I was inspired by this "Faith" double-sided pendant. It is so elegant with the crown on one side and this pretty graphic paper on the back. 

I used paper and embellishments from 7 Gypsies then added a splash of red ribbon. Here's a close-up shot of the card. I think this paper goes really well with the inspirational design of the pendent.

Here is my 2nd card. I made this one for the Wee Memories Butterfly challenge. And since I have been wanting to enter contests over at the Just Us Girls challenge I also submitted this card for their sketch challenge going on this week. 

I used pretty Bo Bunny paper, Basic Grey embellishments, and a sentiment from my stash.

Here's a close-up picture of my butterfly card. I love big flowers and thought it would be fun to add the butterfly on top of it. I also added smaller butterflies around the sentiment.

You & Me = Us

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I've been out and about for the last 4 days spending time with my family and got back into my craft room today to enter some fun challenges.

I created a clean and simple card this time around. I love the color and pattern of the paper that I used.

Each and every embellishment that I used is made of chipboard including the glitter alphas. I love the black and white polka dot design of the chipboard. I placed the words "you and me" on top of the black and white polkas to add more dimension to the card.

I also love bling and love to see it used on chipboard. It brings some shine and dazzle to the design. I'm definitely turning into a chipboard fanatic.
