Weekly Challenge

Time for another posting of my entry for CropChocolate.com's weekly challenge. This week were asked to either use an image of a home or the word home on our entry. I did both! And even more important, I made 3 more Christmas cards! I think I just may have them done and ready to send before Christmas!

I embossed the image of the houses first in brown. I also stamped and cut out an extra image so that I could cover it and stamp and emboss the snowflakes all the way around the image without overlapping. A very simple yet effective technique!


Supplies:
October Afternoon - 'Good Cheer' paper
Zing - white and brown embossing powders
Unity Stamp Co. - Kit of the Month 11/11
CTMH - red ribbon.
Carta Bella - kraft cardstock

Christmas Cards!

I'm a little late starting this year, but I am finally getting some Christmas cards made!

Here a couple of quick ones I did the other day. I'm working on a whole stack of stamped and embossed ones right now. I can't wait to share them!

Simple and sweet! I think.....

Thanks for looking!

A card and some news!

Let's start with the news, shall we?!

As you may or may not know, CropChocolate.com has recently had tryouts for the new upcoming design team term (the current one ends in December). And guess what???? That's right! I'm on it again! I'm so happy they let existing DT members back on again!

And now for the cards.

I made these for the CropChocolate.com Focus  Group's October challenge which is to make something from Pinterest. (If you don't know what Pinterest is, I suggest you Google it :).

The original card is one I just saw and pinned the other day. You can find it here: http://thebalddragonfly.blogspot.ca/2012/07/ellie.html

Isn't that simple and lovely?!

I couldn't choose just one stamp for this so I made two.

Love them! Although the girl is looking a wee bit ghostly, don't you think?
