Merry and Bright

Hey everyone and Happy Veteran's Day!!

Thank you to all the men and women who have sacrificed and served our country! 

Today I am stopping in real quick to share with you a card that I made for a couple of challenges.

I am playing along in the November Card Sketch Challenge over at Scrapbook.com and there are 5 different sketchs as well as a bonus sketch. The card I made today is for Sketch #1 and is the sketch from The Sweet Stop: SSS171

(SSS171)

Here is the card I created based on the above sketch:

I love these little images in the Snow Day set from Lawn Fawn so I knew I wanted to color them up for this card. I also used the Snow Day 6x6 paper pad for all of my pattern papers. The stitched snow hill came from the Scallop Waves Dies from Pink & Main. I simply cut out three circles from some circle dies and then cut out my little hills with the Scallop Waves Die so that they would fit on top of the circle perfectly. I tucked the tree behind the first little hill and then popped up the front hill with some foam tape and added that cute little bunny and bird. I colored everything with my Copic markers. 

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

I am not very good at making masculine cards. For some reason, I have a really hard time with it. Maybe it's the lack of glitter and cupcakes? :) I am pretty pleased with how this one turned out though.

Hi and Happy Monday! I'm so sad to see the weekend pass by. We had such great weather and it looks like that is coming to an end this week. At least I got to enjoy some warm spring like weather for awhile. :) I was able to sit down at my desk last night and create this card for the sketch over at The Sweet Stop SSS48. The twist was Fuzzy Wuzzy. I used the Owl felt sticker from Basic Grey for my fuzzy part of the card. The inside reads "Hooray". I thought this would be a cute card to give to one of my daughter's friends for graduation. Thanks for taking the time to stop in and take a look! Have a great day!
