Another week closer to Christmas and another new Twisted Thursday Challenge is up at the Outlawz!  This week its all about Snowflakes!  Is it snowing in your part of the country?   We have had some here in Northern Maine!  Think snowflakes this week and see what you can come up with for the challenge!  Our great sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear!  The image I used is called  Snowflake Memories!

I think this little penguin is just adorable.  He is looking at all the beautiful snowflakes falling around him!  I used different sized punches to punch the snowflakes and then put a clear gem embellishment in the middle to add a bit more sparkle.   I also added some Stickles to the snow.  He is colored with Copic Pens.  The paper is just from my ever growing stash! 

The inside of the card has a layer of white glitter paper that is hard to see.   On top of that is a snowflake embossed piece of vellum from the Paper Temptress.   That is followed by a three inch blue circle with a sentiment.  In the corners I added two snowflake stickers just to have more snow!

I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by for a little visit!

I appreciate all visitors and comments!

Have a good week!

Something a little different this week!  I have been working on some Christmas cards using House Mouse designs!   These stamps are just so cute!   So I thought I would share some of my cards I have been working on.  Be sure to check the House Mouse site and enter some of their challenges!

This is Mouse E. Claus  He is bringing a gift to someone special!

I colored him with Copic pens and added some Stickles to the snow and to his hat!  I then added Glossy Accents to the package!  I used an oval Spellbinders die to cut the image out and also to cut the green glitter layer.   The paper bow was made with the WeR Memory Keepers envelope punch board.    A couple of gems in the corner and the front was finished!

On the inside of the card, I kept it simple.   I stamped Merry Christmas and added a red glitter snowflake ornament that the recipient can hang on their tree!

This next one is called Chin Up!   Another cute image to work with for holiday cards!  He was colored with Copics, and cut with the Spellbinders oval die, as was the glitter layer underneath.  I then used some Christmas paper from Anna Griffin to make this rocker card!   Added a bit of twine at the top and two brads along with holly leaves and berries cut with another Spellbinder die!

Inside I tried something a little different.  I followed the oval theme from the front, but added a layer of vellum that had been embossed with a holly design.   Its a beautiful vellum from the PaperTemptress ( she has wonderful papers and great prices)!  And I added some more holly leaves and berries!

This next one is called Reindeer Games!  It was colored with Copics and then Glossy Accents was added to the berries and Stickles was added to the snow!  More glitter paper was used to layer with some paper that reminds me of candy canes!

Inside the card just has some of the striped paper and a poinsettia that was cut with the same Spellbinders die that has the holly leaves ad berries in it!   This is a great die set!

Thats it for now!  Come back on Thursday to see the new Twisted Thursday Outlawz challenge!  We have another fun one planned for you!

Thanks for stopping by....stay warm everyone!

December is upon us, and I know everyone is super busy, me included!   But, take some time to relax and craft!  Make a special card for someone!  The Twisted Thursday Challenge over at the Outlawz is a fun one!   The Twist is a Bingo card!  This is the card you have to work with!

Just make bingo in any direction and use those elements in your card!

Our sponsor this month is Stitchy Bear Designs!

They have some super cute designs, so be sure to check out what they have!

This particular design is called Winter Elf and was created by Scrapper's Delights, but can be found at the Stitchy Bear site!

That's it for this week!   I hope everyone is getting their holiday preparations done!

It's getting cold here in Northern Maine!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!!   I am sure everyone is busy cooking and enjoying family time....so am I, but we still have a new Twisted Thursday Challenge up over at the Outlawz!  The twist for this week is "Shades of Blue"!   Just use all shades of blue for your project!  Oak Pond Creations is still out sponsor for this week!  Be sure to visit them for some beautiful designs!

Isn't this little snowman adorable!   I added some Stickles to the snow and made snowflakes in the background.   The large snowflake is an ornament I got at Wal-Mart last year!  They came in a pack of 4, I think!   

The inside has some more embellishments from the ornament area of Wal-Mart!

Colors used!

The card shape was cut using a Spellbinder's Die!

Thanks for stopping by

And Happy Thanksgiving!

We have a new fun challenge starting over at the Outlawz this week!  As always, the Twisted Thursday challenge is Anything Goes, with the twist for this week being, an animal image or print!  Our sponsor is Oak Pond Creations!   They have beautiful designs, be sure to check out their site!

This week I used this cute turtle from Oak Pond Creations!

This card is called a Double Dutch Door card!   Once again I used  my Silhouette machine to cut out this card base.   It also cuts out all the paper pieces at the right size!  I love my Silhouette machine!

The card opens up to this!

These are the colors used!

I even made a custom envelope to fit this card using my We R Memory Keepers envelope maker!  It is a very handy little gadget and works so easily to make something like 60 different sized envelopes!

Thanks for stopping in this week!

I hope to see you at the Outlawz!

Oh  my..it is November and I'm starting to feel the Holiday crunch!   Lots to do!   But first, tomorrow is my daughter's birthday, my baby is going to be 26!  Where does the time go?  
So for this week's Twisted Thursday challenge over at the Outlawz, the challenge is Anything goes with the Twist being "Fall Colors"!   That's it, just use fall colors in your creations!  
My card this week is another Sassy Cheryl design!  Can you tell I like Sassy Cheryl designs?

I colored the image with Copic pens, used a Spellbinders die to cut it out, and then distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  The plain brown paper has an embossed dot design.   This was made with a Cuttlebug folder.  All other paper is just some odds and ends I had in my stash, since I can't seem to throw away my paper leftovers!  Flowers are Prima flowers, and I added a bit of twine to finish it off.        

Thanks for stopping by, Happy November!!
