SNS Release Party Sketch Challenge

Courtney's sketch is the basis for this card. I used SNS Warm Up and Hugs for Janessa stamp sets both designed by Korin Sutherland. Cardstock and ink are SU, Silver Pen from Creative Memories for detail, SU hardware and Basic Grey Urban Prairie patterned paper. Warm Up is a great set featuring tea, coffee and cocoa and all the accessories. The words of friendship make you feel warm and cozy, they "warm your heart"!

If you have never been over to the SweetnSassyStamp store, you are missing some wonderfully designed stamp sets. Go to http://www.sweetnsassystamps.biz/shop/ to take a look.

SNS DT Monday Angel Christmas

The challenge this week is to use wrapping paper instead of dsp. I chose the paper I wrapped Ellie's gift in and went with a mostly pink card...her favorite color. Rachelle Anne Miller stamp from SnS stamp store, cs and markers SU, scallop scissors, Martha Stewart snowflake edge punch, Stickles and white gel pen.

Chrissy's Belli challenge 46

Chrissy's challenge this week is to use any of kind of wrapping paper on your card. Check out her blog for these weekly challenges that anyone can participate in. www.chrissyd723.blogspot.com They are posted on Wednesday's and there is usually a prize drawing.
I chose a paper that I used to wrap gifts for my mother and my aunt several years ago and always thought it so soft and pretty. I made a thank you card, trimmed in sheer pink ribbon, pink rhinestones and sponged with blush and metallic gold. I also used paper left from the design made on the Big Shot as a frame.
