Celebrate With Charlie

My card design this week for C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps

is made with the small Charlie stamp from 

"The Boys in the Woods Series".

I used Cupcake Inspirations Challenge as the

starting point which is Celebrate!

I stamped Charlie with blank ink on white card stock,

 colored him with pencil colors and fussy cut.

The label is 3-D Papier Tole

from Hot Off the Press's "Happy Days" set.

The printed papers are from Echo Park's

"This & That Charming" 6x6 paper pad.

I punched the blue stars with a Marvy punch.

If you like the "Charlie" stamp you can check him out at

C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps.

Thanks for taking a look!

Just Because

I love the photo you are to use as inspiration over at Just Us Girls this week.

I knew I wanted to do something with a chandelier

so I pulled out the Cricut and this is what I came up with.

The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches.

I used the Home Decor solutions cartridge,

a Cuttlebug and a Darice embossing folder,

Dazzles stickers and a Recollections flower punch.

Thanks for taking a look!

Christmas Angel

A quick post this afternoon with a Christmas card I created using
the stash challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown, 

the sketch from Mojo Monday and the inspiration from

Christmas Cards All Year Round which is Christmas Angels.
I'm also linking up to Completely Christmas were it's "Anything Goes".

My "Peace, Love, and Joy" charms are dazzles charms from

Hot Off the Press.

I cut the angel with the Cricut Christmas solutions cartridge.

I used Sizzix circle framelits and 2 different

Cuttlebug embossing folders. 

The flower is from Recollections and the

sentiment was stamped using Christmas Greetings

stamp set from Hot Off the Press.

Thanks for taking a look!

Alex's Celebration

This morning I have a card created using the newest stamp from
C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps.

His name is Alex. He's 7 inches tall and can be used for a variety of occasions.

I used the color combo and the photo below from
Color Throwdown
as my inspiration.

You should check Alex out at C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps

along with the other stamps from

 The Boys In The Woods Series.

Thanks for taking a look!

Reindeer Joy

It's a theme challenge over at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown this week.

I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I took the Cricut out and cut the reindeer from the

Christmas solutions cartridge.

The banners were die cut with the Sizzix Banners 2 stamp and die set.

I added a few touches of gold to the mostly traditional colors

with the tiny gold pearls on the reindeer's harness, 

some gold cording to the button 

and the gold dazzles greeting.

Thanks for taking a look!

Choose to Shine

Choose to shine. I think we all have days where we need a little encouragement or we need

to give encouragement to someone else and have to be reminded that only we, ourselves,

can make the decision to "shine" and take the steps necessary to do so.  

.

So today I have this card that was inspired by the color challenge over at
Just Us Girls

and I thought what better colors to "shine" with than these bright  ones.

The doll was stamped twice with a set from Hot Off the Press,

once on white card stock and I colored her hair and skin

with pencil colors and her purse and shoes with markers.

 Then I stamped a second time on the polka dot

paper and cut out her dress and paper pieced.

The white panel was embossed with an mpress embossing folder

called "Karen Frame" and I added the plain and scalloped circle

die cuts on top of the embossed circle.

The "choose to shine" sentiment came from the same stamps set as the doll.

I added the tiny punched flowers with yellow pearls in the centers.

Thanks for taking a look!

Snowflake Greetings

The temps might be in the 80's where I am today but I thought I'd get another

 Christmas card done with a snowflake theme.  I used the sketch from

 Freshly Made Sketches and the Anything Goes using a photo challenge over
 at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long as my inspiration.
I'm also linking up to the Completely Christmas challenge.

I struggled a little with what to do but I'm pretty happy with what I ended up
 with. I did some dry embossing and used a combination of stickers
and die cuts with some added bling. Thanks for taking a look!
