Dasher

Morning All,
At this very early hour I finally had a chance to finish a card that I have been prepping for an upcoming stamp a stack. Going back to work with a little one has been quite challenging and I have to admit that I started this card five days ago!! Hopefully I will be able to get into the swing of things soon! Without further adieu here is my latest creation:

 

I used a base of Very Vanilla with some layers of Early Espresso. I pulled out some old favorites for this, including Dasher and Short and Sweet. Not to mention some of the Victorian ribbon that I have squired away. I thought stamping on the newsprint gave it a bit of a nostalgic feel.

Thanks for stopping by!

Another Freshly Made Christmas

Evening All,
I wanted to share another card that I made for my upcoming Christmas Stamp a stack. I had gone on over to Freshly Made Sketches and they had another great sketch:

I loved the layout and it fit the type of card I wanted to make.

 

I used an old favorite "dasher" as my focal point, some retired DP I had squirreled away and my Short and Sweet set for the sentiment, which, by the way, fits perfectly in the Bitty Banners Framelits! Love them!

Thanks for stopping by!

Another Freshly Made Sunday

Evening All,
I wanted to share a card I made recently after seeing the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. Check it out here:

 

Here is what I came up with:

 

 

I went a bit rustic and I rotated the sketch. I used a base of Cherry Cobbler with a panel of Crumb Cake on Early Espresso. I punched out the ornament from the Deck the Halls DP I had hoarded. A little Bakers Twine and a sentiment from Short and Sweet and I was done! Simple and fun! Have a great night

Christmas Stamp a Stack

Hi All,
I wanted to share another Christmas card that I am presenting at my next Christmas Stamp a Stack! Stamp a stacks are great as you come, all the paper is precut and ready and you make fifteen cards, five each of three styles! Without further adieu:

I did may favorite thing (at least lately!)!! I mix some retired and well loved Frost Wood Lodge DP, Dasher (also retired but still awesome) with the new Wood Grain textured embossing folder. Very cool "woodsy" feel!! Have a great day!

Merry Monday...on a Friday

Hi all,
I didn't have a chance to post this card this morning as, what a surprise, I was running late to work thanks to ponies causing havoc to my schedule! Anyway I had gone on over to Always Playing with Paper for their
Merry Monday challenge and they are taking a well deserved vacation this July. However, they challenged us to use a past sketch to enter the contest:

So I had gone through their very cool sketch list (click here) and really liked this sketch:

I really liked the clean and simple layout. Here is what I came up with:

I wanted to have a few options to chose from at my next stamp club by the class sign up list and thought this fit in very well. I just love Dasher and always reach for him when setting up for at least one of my stamp a stack cards!! Well hope its a hit! Would love your comments! Thanks for stopping by!!
