Sketch Frenzy Friday -SFF102111


I love the sketches from Sketch Frenzy Friday. They keep your imagination going. I decided to make another Christmas card with their sketch. The snowman stamp I used was from my friend Lisa's collection of rubber stamps, Local Rubber King.

I punched snowfakes with my Martha Stewart punch and added some glitter and bling. Another of the many Christmas cards I have to make this year.

Have a creative day.

Christmas Easel Card


I have an upcoming card exchange with my yahoo group the Rubber Inkers. The theme for the card of the week swap is Christmas and I chose to make a round easel card for the exchange. My Santa stamp seemed to be the perfect stamp for this design. I added some colour, glitter, bling, ribbon and flourishes to complete my design.

Thank you for stopping by.

Anything Goes Challenge PTT#39


This card was created for Party time Tuesday’s challenge called Anything Goes. Kenny K ‘s Downloads is their sponsor this week and I chose to use one of his Santa digi images for this card. I also used a couple of different Spellbinder cutters for the frame and a Memory Box Co. for the fancy tree. Some ribbon, cord and bling completed the card.

Be creative. Have a good day.

Season's Greetings


This card was created for a sketch swap for one of the groups that I belong to called The Rubber Inkers. I thought it was a good sketch because I could use scraps of Christmas paper I have in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by.

Come and Get it Challenge - Cracked Glass


The Come and Get It's challenge this week was to create a card with using the cracked glass technique. I decided to make an antique looking Christmas card for this challenge. I have had the stamps that I used for this card for a very long time. The Candle stamp is by Embossing Art Co. and the Joy sentiment is by Hot Fudge Studios. I like the aging effect of the cracked glass technique.

Be creative and have a good day.
