Vintage Look Lace Tree

I made this card at an SU stamp camp on Sunday on plain white cs. When the DT Monday challenge came in from SnSS to make a distressed or vintage look card, I took Sahara Sand ink and sponged it all over the card to give it a vintage look, then pulled the edges across the ink pad. I really like the finished look better than the white.

Granddaughter's first cards

These are a few of the Christmas cards my granddaughter Rebecca,15, made this afternoon. She had never done this before and I am really impressed with her designs. We had a good time working and sharing together, just like when she was a little girl when we spent so much time doing things together.
I have set up an album of her cards in my gallery on SCS.

SNSS DT Challenge #5

I am getting so behind in doing challenges, but managed to make a card for SNSS DT challenge this week which is to use Christmas paper on the card. I had originally hoped to combine it with PCP's sketch challenge but had to tweek it too much so that it won't qualify. Card stock and paper are SU, I used the Christmas Rub-ons, scallop punch, CM circle maker and a rhinestone in the snowflake center.

12Days-Day 10

I missed several days for this challenge, I'm back with Day 10 which called for making a card featuring a boy. I decided to use SNSS Forgetful Sam holding his letter to Santa. Sentiment, paper and ink SU, buttons are from Oriental Trading. Will try to get watercolor paper so that my color blending will look better.

Chrissy's Belli challenge-cracked glass

This week's challenge is using cracked glass. I had only done this once before and it was in a class last Spring. Here is what I came up with. All materials are SU. except for the CM Silver Shimmer paper. After I cracked the 'glass' I sponged silver ink on the image and wiped it off, but decided not to apply it to the poinsettia. I'm not happy with the cracking lines but like the glossy finish. You can find Chrissy's challenge on her blog Creating with Chrissy

Get Well Tissue Holder

Sandy's DT Monday challenge was to make a Get Well Tissue Holder. Mine is SU cs, silver elastic and Rub-ons, Basic Grey Euphoria dsp and a snowflake brad.

5 Golden Rings: Day 5

I attempted to make a card with 5 gold rings for today's challenge. I used white cs with the red, but now wish I had used only the red with the gold ink. Thanks for looking. SU stamps, cs and cord, Encore Gold Metallic ink, Gold Stickles.

12 Days: Day 4

My card Songbird Birthday is for today's challenge to use birds and/or 'calling' My birds are singing to each other. I chose shades of blue, striped dsp and white for my card. Paper, ink and ribbon are SU. Also used Dew Drops and Martha Stewart floral edge punch.

Day 3 of 12 Days Challenge

Posting this morning because we lost power last night right after I posted this on PCP. The challenge was to use a chicken, rooster or owl, none of which I had. I borrowed from DD and decided to combine this with Ashley Bowen's color challenge 11/29 and Kim Burmeister's sketch 11/29.
