Reindeer greetings

I liked this Hero Arts stamp set when I saw it and couldn't resist the sale at Michael's. 

I got the idea (well basically copied it) from Brenda and her blog.

Love this card and had fun making it.

Challenge with DT call

Hello everyone! Over the past little while, a few of my crafty catz have had to step down to fullfill other obligations (Darn life and how it can interfere with our passion!) So I find myself in need of some new Creative Catz! If you love Sketches and Sassy Sentiments meant to tickle both your creative and funny bones, then perhaps you'd like to join our team? If you think you can handle a couple of crafty projects a month for me, then please, add your name to the bottom of this list with DT beside your name to be considered for the team. On my team, you will receive ALL digi's released while you are on the team as well as your choice of others you'd like to work with.

SO! the Challenge this go is a *PICK YOUR FAVORITE SKETCH* Challenge.... you will find all of our old sketches if you click on the SKETCH button above here. Pick one and play along! Dont forget to add DT behind your name if you want to be considered for the team.

Our challenge, as always will last for 2 weeks, finishing on Dec 3rd. We will then be on Xmas holidays. To give my girls a break from posting and to give the new team members to become aquainted with the each other and get a jump on the New Years Sketches!

Here is my take on Sketch 17...

Graphicat carrots

So we are a week behind with the Sketch challenge...oops. For some reason we all forgot to do it..in my defense I was photographing a wedding on Sunday (assisting on Saturday) and ran out of time. It was a very busy week that is for sure. 

This weeks sketch I decided to do a holiday card, since I was on a streak. I loved this sentiment when Cheri came out with it and looked forward to using it on a card.

The sketch of course is by Cheri.

Card fun

Yesterday 3 Scrappy Friends were at the Maywood craft show and I sold a bunch of my holiday cards. I was feeling pretty creative last night. So in between helping Mark with building the new archway in the living/dining room I made 16 cards.

This Santa one I had made before but wanted to make more. I got the idea from Pinterest, here is the original one. (I made 5 Santa's)

This one I made Sunday afternoon. Here is the original. 

So far only 1 of these have been made.

Made Saturday night, I got the idea from the Papercrafts magazine Holiday Cards. 

The original artist is Kalyn Kepner. I made 4 of these but I still need to stamp "Dear Santa" on it.
Just looking for the right font to use. 

This one is also from the Papercrafts magazine. Original artist is Julia Stainton. I made 6 of these. 

I did this one quickly, and just 1. I used the snowman from SU. 

I have a bunch more planned to do.  I also have a couple of journals, clipboards and key holders to get done. I have 2 more craft shows this month, plus my stuff is at the Country Christmas Craft Store for the month's of November & December.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the Graphicat Sketch Challenge.
