OWH Sketch #244 & MMT

In order to play catch up on some OWH challenges, I doubled up by making this card.  The card uses a Doodle Pantry image, sentiment and some scraps. 

OWH ODBD: January

I was determined to make my ODBD card early this month, so I paired up that challenge with this month's HashTag challenge at W2SB.  Sentiment is computer generated; papers are by K&Co.  Image is an old one I found at a thrift store.  This one will be going in my next OWH box.

OWH Sketch #245

When I saw Linda's card, I was so inspired that I CASE'd it for my personal Christmas cards this year.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of one so I could share with you, oops!  It was time to try the sketch out on a masculine version.  The Hero Arts fundraiser stamp set provided the perfect image for my card. 

I heat embossed the image in copper to match the copper foil in the dp.  Thanks for looking!

OWH ODBD: December

Wheww...what a month.  I cannot believe it has been almost a month since I posted.  I have been super busy with Christmas stuff;  cards, and other projects for both myself & my sisters.   This digi is a freebie by The Cottage Market.  It is one of my fave quotes and really was the inspiration for the card.  Sometimes color challenges such as primary colors are hard for me to do well, but I really like how this turned out.  OWH really needs a bunch of cards for this month's ODBD challenge, please help them out before the 31st!

Addicted to CAS: Dots

This is my last post as a guest designer for Addicted to CAS.  I have so enjoyed my experience and am always humbled by the creative awesomeness of you all.  The new challenge theme is Dots and is hosted by Loll.

I was browsing on Pinterest when I spied a Christmas Tree in a window which was made up of paper snowflakes and was the inspiration of my card.  I used an orphaned snowflake (green) stamp and a stylus(red) to stamp inside a "Plaid" stencil.  The garland was stitched on after I pierced it out using a circle shape as a guide. The background was dry embossed using a Darice folder.   

Thanks again for everything and Happy Holidays!

OWH: Red Friday Hop

I decided to not look at any Black Friday ads as I did not want to be tempted to partake in the shopping frenzy.  Lucky for me OWH is having a Red Friday Hop.  A wonderful group of inspiring cards are being featured.  I decided to take my fave parts of Paula's and Dixie's cards to create mine.  The patterned papers are by Little Yellow Bicycle.  Hearts are from a Heidi Swapp stencil.  Easy Peasy!
