Happy New Year Two challenges




It is almost another year gone. As I think of 2009 and my most fond memories, I think of our family trip to Dallas to see the King Tut exhibit, our road trip down route 66 and our many adventurous trips up to Branson, MO and I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for us. I have made a few resolutions... Exercise daily, read the Bible all the way through and keep my art room clean. My sister is getting married in May of 2010 and we are planning a trip to Colorado at the end of July.

Now on to my card. This little guy was a freebie at The Greeting Farm. There has been much discussion in our home at what type of animal he is. My daughter says he is a hedgehog, my husband says it is a bear. I plain ole don't have an opinion on what he is. The sketch is by Inspirational card sketches http://icsketches.blogspot.com/ and the theme is celebrations over at Charisma cardz http://www.charismacardz.blogspot.com/ / I love this color combo. I guess I am having fun getting away from the Christmas and winter colors. Thanks for looking.

They have great freebie digi stamps. Colored with copics of course and I love this ribbon slide got a set at HL on sale this week. Thanks for looking. Happy New Year.

Delightful Sketches and Designed To Delight



Well I just found out a couple of hours ago that I was to get this great bear stamp for participating in last weeks Designed to delight challenge and that I needed to get a card made using this stamp by tonight so that I can play in their progressive challenge. Details here... http://designed2delightdigishop.blogspot.com/ so I felt a bit rushed but am overall happy with the results. I knew I wanted to do something black and red... couldn't decide on the ribbon so used both. The sketch is from Delightful sketches challenge http://delightfulsketches.blogspot.com/ Thanks for looking and have a great New Year:)

An Alota challenge and another easel card




Another week and it will be not the time to make Christmas cards anymore. Whatever will I stamp then. I've been doing the holiday card thing since before Halloween and now its just about over but I guess Valentines is next. Well this month's challenge on the Alota Stamps PCP group was to make a Christmas card so you know I'm loving these easel cards and I'm sure you know I love gingerbreads so here is a combo. I tried to color the cookies so their coloring looked like a cookie and the bow is some wierd creation I came up with and tied it together. Thanks for looking.

She has some great images. The sketch is this weeks Card Patterns http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/ Colored with copics and I really liked how the three bows at the top worked out. I'll have to do that again. Thanks for looking.
