Happy Girl SBSC162 Sketch Challenge

I am so glad I started to play with the sketch challenges on Splitcoast Stampers. I am starting to get so much done! Here is my page for Scrapbook Sketch Challenge 162. This is from our trip to Baughman's Farm this fall in Lakeville, NY. We had a great time. Amber loved playing on the playground equipment. I love that happy girl smile!

Crazy Color Christmas

This card I made for Splitcoast Stampers Color Challenge 190. I wasn't sure about the colors, Pixie Pink, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive. Although I think the colors are growing on me. Just not sure it is fitting for Christmas, but its that time of year and I have alot of Christmas cards to make. My husband said to send this one to my old aunts. What do you think?

Here is my first attempt. I just feel that I am missing something here.

Faux Metal Stamping Attempt

This is my first attempt at Faux Metal Stamping. This version I used Brushed Silver Cardstock and Silver Embossing Powder. The look of the silver metal tag is subtle but adds a elegant look to the card.

An Artichoke Christmas

Slowly getting Christmas cards done. For this one I used my new Hostess Pattern Pack Designer Series Paper in Artichoke. I am loving the Artichoke color with Real Red. I think it goes great together. I used the mat pack to pierce the Mellow Moss background around the border. I am a big fan of the Mat Pack for it's low price and versatility!

I used the Yoyo Yellow Marker and Close to Coco Marker directly on the Tree stamp to color the star and truck. For the snowflake circle, I stamped off the Artichoke once before making my finally image. I colored the 'Deck the Halls' with the red marker on the greeting stamp to stamp onto the snowflake.

Pink Season of Joy SC199

I love the sketch challenge this week. It is a perfect simple layout! Keeping with the PINK theme of the month for Breast Cancer Awareness I used Pretty in Pink, Baroque Burgunday and Chocolate Chip. I am really liking this color combo, and it fits great with this Christmas card.

October Breast Cancer Month Pink Just Because Card

This is a card for a woman in my MOMS club who was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant with her second child. She is still is receiving treatment after 3 years.

I attempted a version this weeks technique challenge TLC191, I however used Luminere and Pretty in Pink refill mixed to color the flower. It is hard to see the shimmer in the photo, but the luminere does make a beautiful addition to the card.

Also this card is for Splitcoast Stampers Card Sketch Challenge 116.

Fall Fun Scrapbook Challenge SBSC161

I am so excited I finally made a scrapbook page today. I loved the Splitcoast Stampers Scrapbook Sketch Challenge SBSC161 this week. I couldn't pass it up. This is my daughter Morgan at Baughman's Tree Farm. It was a fun day with pumpkin picking, a corn maze and a great playground that the kids loved. Morgan loved swing on the bars!

Holiday Coaster Frame

This is one of my Holiday Stamp Camp projects that I did with my customers. The coaster uses Season of Joy one of my favorite Christmas sets. The red strip I pierced using the Stampin' Up Mat Pack, it gives the strip a nice textured look which is hard to see in the picture. The JoY was inked using the Versamarker and then embossed with white embossing powder. I using the Versamark pad for the snwflake stamp and cut it out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and mounted it on the scallop circle punch with a Stampin' Dimensional. Holes in the coaster was punch with the Crop-a-Dile which is great for punching chipboard. I love the way it turned out!
