AC Paper Pad Saga Continues...


Birdie Brown/Sweet Stampin'/Addicted to CAS Challenges
 All cards use paper from an American Crafts paper pad.  I have challenged myself to use papers from this pad until it's gone (leave no scrap behind!).

Card 1:  Uses an image from Birdie Brown for her November Challenge.  I am also going to link it up to Sweet Stampin' Challenge as the theme is Snow People.  Also, there is a new challenge site: Addicted to CAS that requires few embellishments and lots of "white space".  With only one embellishment I think this card qualifies.  Their code word is Snow.

Card 2:  I used a Bugaboo Digi Stamp.  I chose one that could be turned in a love themed card for OWH if needed.

OWH #147
Card 3: I saw this sketch and knew it would be perfect for a CASE of one of Dixie's cards (Thanks Dixie!) that uses a banner die. My pad had an extra print on the other side of the perforated edge. When I was cutting the paper awhile back, I realized it would be perfect for this look. I normally would mat with black cardstock for some real pop, but gasp, I ran out. My delivery person (i.e. sister) has not dropped off a new pack for me. The sentiment is computer generated by me.

I did learn one thing from the 6x6 tutorial; I should not cut all the pad up in case I get bored with a sketch.  I had to find a matching red paper for card 3 because I did not have any pieces big enough for the sketch.

    I love the "quilterly" look of the third card, and the dimension added. Glenda F

    Darling cards, Linda! This sketch is a perfect one for scraps, I think. Loved the way you notched your small elements into pennants! Thanks for joining us in this week's Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge!

    Those holiday cards are so very sweet. And the sketchy card is subtle and clean. I really like your circled sentiment. I want to learn how to do that!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog - you are right about the heart card. I'm glad to see you are using your paper pad like I have been doing with mine. I made card #27 yesterday. Happy Thanksgiving.
