Use your Stickers!

I made this card just for pure fun of challenges! Love when I get a chance to do that. One of the challenges was to use stickers. I have a ton of stickers…I have a ton of supplies!! Only if I had time to use them. So I decide to go with a Christmas card since I will sell them in Nov at the Retirement home so I need to have a good stash on hand. I saw the sketch at Tis’ The Season Challenge and this is what I came up with.

Oh and everything was from my scrap drawers except the green Christmas Word paper but it is very very old.

CHALLENGES:
1) Use Your Stuff Challenge #147 – Stickers (not letters). The Santa is a clear sticker from Hobby Lobby stuck on white cardstock then cut out. Then pop dotted on the tag. **Thank you Scrapanda (Amanda)  for showing me this challenge site. Love it!**
2) Tis’ the Season #22 (TTS22) – Use the sketch provided as inspiration. I changed out the circle for a rectangle.
3) Christmas Stampin’ All Year Long #22 – Tags
4) Creative Card Crew #67 – Christmas

Washi Tape Christmas Card

Boughs of Holly

I made this card mainly because I wanted to make a Christmas card. I wanted to try to make at least 1 Christmas a month this year but that hasn’t worked out. After I made this I think we will make this one at the retirement home in July when we do Christmas in July. I used pop dots on my deer and the strip with the saying but when we make it at the retirement home I will make it flat (easier for them to mail).

A bouquet of clovers just for you!

Today I’m getting to create just to create. I do need a need a card for a secret pal but any St. Patrick’s Day card could work for that.

I told him not to work about making it fancy with shadows and shading but I still think it looks great. I bought this paper just for this card….I was hoping to have a card class before March 17th but that didn’t happen. I used Sweet Sunday Sketch #209 for my inspiration.

Missing you this Holiday Season

I needed to make some cards but have been so busy that finding inspiration and time to create at the same time has been hard. As I was wondering through blog land looking at challenges I was inspired by this saying, “I miss you this holiday season” that I saw on a card. I was also inspired by 2 Sisters Challenge – Christmas Card NOT using a Christmas Image because I thought this image would be perfect with that saying. This image comes from With Love Digital Image by Doodle Pantry. She made TWO sets of images this month to help raise money for OWH and you can get BOTH sets for only $5.00 from now till Nov 30th!! So don’t delay follow the link and snag up these adorable images before the introductory price goes away!

CHALLENGES:

1) 2 Sisters Challenge #170 – Christmas Card NOT using a Christmas Image.  I hope this counts since a penguin is a winter image BUT it was in a Valentine/Miss you set not a Christmas set.

2) Christmas Stampin’ all Year Long – Stripes

3) Perfect Sentiments Challenge #100 – A Christmas Sketch – use the sketch provided to make a Christmas Card

4) Penny’s Paper-Crafty Challenge #153 – Add a Sentiment
