White out


Happy New Year everyone!! Here's to another decade! 2020!! Woot Woot!!! The new year brings a new challenge at The Rainbow Card Challenge. This month The Rainbow Card Challenge is featuring white. A perfect color for the cold and snowy days of January.




My card is very minimalistic, but evokes a cold snowy day.


While the lighting is kinda strange in this photo, it does show case some of the glitter and dimension in the card. I kinda like the photo.


Thia photo really shows the glitter on the snow and the trees. Inlove the simple beauty of this card and think it will be a keeper for holiday cards 2020.

You might bhave thought that this month's music inspiration would be non other than White Christmas, but I have to say, I am done with the holiday music. So instead I am featuring "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.


Get out your white paper and white ink and show us a white card. You have all month to play along at The Rainbow Card Challenge.

Warm wishes and cold brews!



Hey everyone! Just about missed the deadline for the button challenge over at Inky Paws!! 
Last week I was visiting my brother and his wife at the Delaware beaches.  It rained for the 5 days I was there. The sun came out when I was in the car coming home!! I still had a great time though. We took lots of walks in the woods.


You can't tell from the picture, but there is a bald eagle in the tree. Amazing!!

We also took a brewery tour at Dogfish Head brewery. They are one of the original breweries that set the craft beer movement in motion.



The tour ended with a flight of brews. Perfect to warm your heart and head on one of those rainy days.


I woke up early to work on the card I had in mind for the challenge before I am off to doctor appointments and school. (yes, it is that time again!!)


Buttons, that was a tough one. Thank goodness I never got rid of my button stash from 15 or more years ago. It seemed back in the late 90"s maybe we were putting buttons on everything.

After much thought, it came to me snow!! The rest of the card fell together. 


You still have time to join in the button fun over at Inky Paws. I sure would like to see what you all do also!!

Santa Paws


It's that time of the year when I become the most creative- the holiday season!! I am starting to work on my holiday card designs and Newton's Nook is playing a starring role this year.  I have been messing around with this design concept. Originally the element was a rectangle, but I justwasn't feeling it- this is after I made about 6 cards!! I tried it with a circle and loved it.


I am entering this card over at the Inky Paws challenge. This week's challenge is a color challenge using Holly red, pine cone tan, fir green, and black. A color challenge certainly takes the stress out of figuring out colors! And I think Santa Paws looks awesome!! I loved this color combo and will definitely be using it again.



If you look close you can see that I glitterized all the snow. As usual it is much more impressive in person.


I am entering this in the color challenge over at House of Cards. HOC was the first challenge blog I was on, so it's kind of nostalgic to be joining in the fun as a spectator. 


I hope you will go check out the awesome challenges at Inky Paws and House of Cards join in.

Happy Little Stampers August Sketch Challenge


Oh goodness!! My first Christmas card !! I never start this early. I am definitely a last minute girl when it comes to my holiday cards. December 1, 1 am sitting down in my studio to make around 100 cards. 
  

When I saw the sketch challenge this month at Happy Little Stampers I just thought Christmas and this is what I came up with (after digging around to find my Christmas stamps!).  You did notice I turned the sketch upside down didn't you?

I used this set from Lawn Fawn, a favorite from last year. The embossing folder was extremely popular. Every time I tried to order it, it was out of stock. Much to my amazement I found it at the Heirloom Rubberstamp Convention



Please join in the fun over at Happy Little Stampers and see what the rest of the DT came up with!
