Freshly Made Sketches #40 + Winter Wonderland - Christmas Teddy + 52CCT - Glitter

           
Hi All, Lucky me has stolen a bit of time to make another Christmas card. Again I have used the latest Freshly Made Sketch, I have also taken up the Winter Wonderland challenge to use a teddy and at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown the challenge is to add glitter (that's not a challenge for me). Well, I am not a 'teddy' person....this stamp was a free stamp out of a magazine and I only have one other teddy stamp which was not suitable for Christmas so I have adapted my teddy by adding a present to make him feel a bit more christmassy.  Thanks for stopping by, hope the rest of your weekend is great, until next time, happy stamping.

Freshly Made Sketches #40

Hi All, I don't think I will get much of a chance to stamp this weekend so I have sat down this afternoon to make my son's birthday card. I usually stamp on a Saturday but tomorrow I am playing 'ladies' and going out to lunch with my daughter, niece & two sister in-laws for lunch to celebrate a birthday. My son is 16 next Friday...where have the years gone...so I had to get in and make a card. Sometimes I don't think he thinks 'life is good' but for us it is, so that is why I have chosen this DP. I am told this is not unusual for teenage boys, but gee I hope he grows out of this phase soon. Anyway make sure you jump on over to Freshly Made Sketches and check out their latest challenge as this is the layout I have used for my card. As always, thanks for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.

The Sweet Stop #SSS163 + 52 CCT #6

                                        

Hi All, I am back with my last card for the weekend, sadly I have to go and do a bit of housework as I don't have a fairy that will come in and do it for me. I have made another christmas card to add to my collection. For this one, I have used the latest Sweet Stop Sketch and the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge to use a snowman. This card really evolved and turned out completely different to what I thought it was going to look like but I am very happy with it. Today is also the last day I get to stamp with my friend Robyn who is off on a 6 week holiday and then relocating to Perth after that. I will miss her heaps as she is a good friend & our skyping Saturdays are soooo much fun!! Have a great holiday Robyn & Steve talk to you soon. Thanks to all who stop by to look at my creations. Until next time, happy stamping.

Mojo Monday #245 + Colour Q #141

                                                                   

Well Stampers I am back with my second Christmas card for the day. For this one I have used the latest Mojo sketch and for colour inspiration I have used the latest Colour Q combination. I must admit it was hard trying to tie in that green so in the end after several different attempts it became the bling. Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend and happy stamping.

Freshly Made Sketches #39 & Winter Wonderland 15th June - Candy Canes

                                                              

Hi Fellow Bloggers, well I am back at my desk making some more Christmas cards. I struggled with this one as the challenge on Winter Wonderland this week was to use Candy Canes and I don't have one!!!! So after a bit of creativity, this is what I came up with. For my design I used the latest Freshly Made sketch and hopefully I will be able to post this one in time as last week due to posting issues by the time I got the post to upload the Freshly Made challenge had finished. Thanks for stopping by, hopefully I will have another creation posted by the end of the day. Until next time, happy stamping.

Freshly Made Sketches #38 + Christmas Card Challenge #28

Hi All, I am having some real issues with my internet of late...I made this card yesterday but have not been able to post it until now. I have been able to make a few xmas cards over the last couple of days which is a good feeling. For this card I used the latest sketch from Freshly Made and for colour I have taken the challenge of using woodgrain from the Christmas Card Challenge site. I am really happy with this card, most likely because it has been a while since I have made a card using browns (my favourite tones). Hope you like it too, thanks for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping!!

Deconstructed Sketch #55 + Winter Wonderland 8th June

  

     

Hi All, today I am making some Christmas cards. It has been a while since I have made any so I have to get in and make some so it doesn't become a chore later in the year. For this card I have used the latest Deconstructed Sketch & for colour I have used the photo inspiration from Winter Wonderland. Well I am off to make another chrissie card, thanks for stopping by.

Mojo Monday #244 + Dynamic Duos #6

                                                          

Hi Friends, I have been able to sneak a couple of hours stamping today as tomorrow is a holiday so I can do my Sunday housework tomorrow and not today!! yippee!! Sadly this might be the last weekend to stamp with my stamping buddy as she is off to Perth soon and has to pack her craft stuff up in preparation for the move. Maybe we can sneak a couple of hours tomorrow too ;-) Anyway, for this card I have used the latest Mojo sketch and for colour I have used this weeks combination from a new blog Robyn found called Dynamic Duos....will definitely be back checking out their challenges again.
Well I have to go and do some gardening with my hubby but hopefully I might get back a bit later. Thanks for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.

I Spy Sketch Challenge #19 + Play Date Cafe #135

Hi All, well I have been having trouble with Blogger today but finally have been able to post the card I made earlier. It's rather different to what I would usually make but I think it has turned out ok in the end. For colour inspiration I have used the latest combination from The Play Date Cafe & my mate Robyn put me onto another challenge site she came across called I Spy Sketch Challenge. So I have used the latest sketch from I Spy for today's card, will definitely be back checking out the sketches on I Spy. I hope your weekend is off to a great start, thanks for stopping by, until next time....happy stamping.

Mojo Monday #243 + colour Q #139

Hi Stampers, well I am back with my second card for the day. For this card I have used the latest Mojo Monday & for colour inspiration I have used the colourQ's latest combination. I must admit it was not an easy colour combination for me but I am really happy with the end result. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Wedding Card

Hi Fellow Stampers, well I haven't had much time to stamp the last couple of weeks so it feels great to be sitting at my desk and stamping and not working which is all I have been doing lately. My friend/penpal is getting married soon so had to make a wedding card. I must admit I am always a bit nervous about making wedding cards as I worry that they will not be 'good enough' but I am real happy with this one and I must thank Sarita & Robyn for their inspiration.
