Rosie D's Challenge

Rosie's in need of a new Design Team member and asked followers to make a New Year's card and a piece of altered art. I said, what the heck, I'll give it a shot~I created the new year's card with the 'Cheers to You' set from Stampin' Up. Used some embossing folders and markers and bright, cheery new year's colors! The altered item I've started is a CD case desk calendar. NOT MY ORIGINAL IDEA! I saw some made up in the gallery over at Splitcoast Stampers. I managed to get January and February completed, before we take off for some after holiday shopping, a movie and some chinese food. I'll get the rest of the months finished up this week and post next week.

The Pink Elephant #46

The challenge this week at The Pink Elephant was a sketch challenge. I wanted to do up a rubber ducky baby card and the sketch really fit what I had in mind. A friend at work is expecting her first child and I've already made/bought a ton of gifts with the rubber ducky theme, so I needed a card to go along with it. I made a little tag out of the scrap paper that I had leftover. The stamp on the card is from Whipper Snapper.

House Mouse #59

Last week's theme for House Mouse was 'Winter Wishes'. I had this cute HM image already colored up, so it was a breeze putting this card together for the challenge. The green and blue are one of my favorite color combos for winter cards.

Featured Stamper #148

This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast Stampers is Michele, aka: Mitchyglitchygoomy! What a name! And what an awesome gallery she has! It was difficult to choose which card to case! This stamp is another retired stamp from Stamping Up. It came from the 'Great Greetings' set. I really like the simple red, white, black color scheme. It's been snowing here in Northern Michigan for about a week straight now! My mind has been in the snow bank! LOL

Fab n Funky #2

Sunday is most definately my favorite day of the week. First of, no work! Second, my dear husband makes me breakfast every Sunday morning...and lastly, I have uninterupted hours of card making in my craft room! Today is no exception! I created this card for the new Fab'n' Funky Challenge. I used Funky Fairie's Paper for the background and added some stamped snowflakes onto the paper. The image is from a retired Stampin' Up set called 'Snow Angels'. This week's challenge was a sketch. Check out this new challenge blog~link on the right~it looks like it's going to be a good one to follow.

Cat's Pajama's TCPTUES #87

This week's Cat's PJ's challenge was a color challenge ~ one of my favorite color combinations!! Light pink, Kraft & vanilla! I used the ice skater Poochie from the Poochie Christmas set. A simple layout with some embossed paper and punch cut out snowflakes.
