Happy Birthday

 

I bought several cute My Favorite Things stamp sets recently.  Above is 

Celebrating You.  This weekend I stamped

up several of each stamp set and had fun coloring them and today 

started putting them together.  I always have trouble making cards

for the little ones in my life so I thought I would get an early

start on them this year. If you look close you can tell I used

MFT's Splatter Background on the base of my card, using Versa Mark

ink.  Images colored with Copic markers.

A few fun challenges:

The House That Stamps Built: New Years

  It's Wednesday so time for another challenge at The House That Stamps Built!

Our theme this week is New Years.

 

I went with a simple design using a gold dotted pattern paper,

I embossed Happy New Year in gold, and framed it in a gold

die cut.  I added a few extra gold dots.  Very simple but

fun and fitting for the theme.

  

Join the fun and you might be the lucky winner of the monthly drawing

 for the  $25 Repeat Impression's  gift certificate. You don't have

 to use Repeat Impression stamps but an extra chance if you do.  

Drawing is the first Wednesday every month.

The House That Stamps Built: Christmas, Option of favorite technique

 It's Wednesday so time for another challenge at The House That Stamps Built!

Our theme is Christmas with the option of your favorite technique.

 

Those of you that visit regularly know that I enjoy fun fold cards,

so I knew right away that I would go with that for today.  Every

Christmas I make a few cards with Penguin Tree. It makes such

a fun cheery card.  I cut the image and the green border on my

Scan'N'Cut.  Colored with Copics and glitter glue on the hats.

JDS: Miracle of Christmas

 I can't believe it is already the middle of December, time is flying by.  It is already

mid month at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge blog.  Stop by and see what the Design

Team has created.  Many of us have used the new set Santa's Gift.

 

 I chose to highlight only this one sentiment which just really struck me.  I used all gold

papers and accents to showcase it.  Check out the rest of the Design Teams cards, 

you will see the darling Santa and other images here.
