Winter Bright SSK cards

Wow it's another chilly one here today! With the windchill it's expected to be highs anywhere from -20 to -25C....lol...next week -7C yah! That will be a HEATWAVE!

I am off on a field trip with Chloe this afternoon to the Festival of Trees. She is singing with her school choir there. Oh joy, a bus load of kids screaming...ugh! I'd rather drive myself but don't want to pay the parking downtown Edmonton! It's outrageous!

Carla from Moralia weblog sent me some stamped images and I couldn't wait to use this one in particular! It's so funny! I don't know who makes this stamp but if I was to guess, it's probably by High Hopes. If you know...holler at me ;) Thanks Carla for these super cute images!

I added glitter on the snow and coloured the image with my blender pen and inks.

I had stamped some of these ornaments from Hanna Stamps last week and thought they'd look nice with the paper from the WinterBright SSK. I'm so happy that Nancy made me nice RAKs with it...I had to break down and buy the kit after that!
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you all have a fabulous day!

i{heart}2stamp Challenge and extras

This is for Jen's Sketch Challenge on her blog HERE. I really enjoy doing her sketches each week! It gets your mind movin'! I was going to add a sentiment but decided I'd just leave it blank on the front and maybe stamp one of my Christmas sentiments on the inside of the card instead.

My day started out with Jen's Sketch Challenge card but I didn't want to stop there. I'm busy watching the Nascar race and Jeff Gordon is leading...so I'm pumped and thought it was a GREAT time to work on some more Christmas goodies!

I used all the scraps to make another card, cover a notebook and a small tin can that I purchased at Michael's awhile ago. I added some tabs to the notebook but left them blank so that whomever gets this gift can write in their own words on the tabs.

Wide Variety of Cards

Another busy day at the Easton house! I don't know WHAT I would do if I didn't create something each day?! Well maybe the ironing.....
This card was from today's SCS. We used Blue Bayou, Soft Sky and Cameo Coral. I wasn't sure I could pull anything nice off with these colours together but it turned out ok. It's always fun to see what the girls at SCS come up with for us!

Last night I was watching TV and everyone was sleeping so I stayed up and crafted a few Christmas cards. It's never too early to start right?! Every year my friends get a stash of homemade cards from me as a gift. Most of them get their Christmas gift quite early in December so they can use them! I also include other cards as well. Things for them to use throughout the year for various occasions. These cards used some DP from a local craft store and the SU! Festive Favourites Set. The tree brads are from Making Memories.

Today my sister, Jennifer, came back and we crafted the next few projects together. What fun! I had this DP that I said we NEEDED to make a Halloween card from. Her birthday is ON Halloween and yes I've always told her she was a wicked witch....rofl

I really like how these cards turned out!

Last week on SCS during the DTGD Challenges there was a challenge to use acetate. At the time I had none but was sure to pick some up last weekend! I've never made a card with it before and I did find it a little challenging, trying to figure out how to hide your tape and glue dots.

We just put the layers back to back on the front/inside and inside/back. Does that make sense? LOL The box was from last Wednesday's Tutorial on SCS. It is a 2, 5, 7, 10 box!
