CHRISTMAS... "Just around the corner"

I love Snowmen!  The are just so darn cute!  So, I used up what card's I had left and made these adorable snowmen cards for Christmas.  There is a Craft Bizzare coming up, so thought I would whip up a stash of christmas cards and see if I could make a few extra $$$$! 

Marguee Challenge at Frosted Designs

Frosted Designs Challenge

Marguee

Well, spent the day at home with my sick child, so I worked on making cards.  Seem's like card making is my new found interest in scrapbooking.  I think I like them because it dont take as much time to complete one as it does a layout.  However, I'm not giving up on layouts all together, so dont worry.  I thought and thought and couldn't figure out anything for the challenge.  So I just started making cards.  After I was finished, left for school and WOW!  I had a thought.... enter this one.  So here it is.  I have been playing around with my stamps that I have had for a while and have not used...

I WON! I WON!

Fabric Challenge

"Frosted Designs"

Good Morning, I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I spent the weekend working on homework and watching the Texas v. OU Game and let me say, what a game it was.  This morning I logged on and discovered that I had won the Fabric Challenge with my "Happy Birthday" card and was so excited.  It just made my morning.  To have the privilege of being selected from an amazing group of talented women, is just a great feeling.  Thanks everyone!

Digital-Ink Co " "Fall Ya'll Challenge

Fall is my favorite season....

While going through everyone's blog updates ran across "Digital-Ink's" Fall Challenge.  So After making coffee and getting my favorite blank to wrap up in I sat down and decided to take a stab at it.  Cards are not my "Norm", in fact this is only my 4th card to make.  The stamp kit I used is by "Inkadinkado"  #96624 Tree.  It was the first time I had used it and I really like it.  This was perfect to do for this morning, because it is cold, wet and raining outside. 

Supplies:  "Indadinkado" Stamp #96624, We R Memory Keepers Note Card,  Tan and White Card stock, newspaper, Ribbon with slide tag.

MY CARD COLLECTION

Well, as you can see I did a little playing around with my supplies tonight.  This is first time in a very long time that I have been so inspired thanks to all you wonderful, creative people out there.  I altered my first card tonight... "HOWDY" (see top left photo for altered card and click on the word "HOWDY" to see the first version).  I really wasn't totally happy with the first one, so I created this one tonight.  I tore the top section of the card off and trimmed it down and layered it on top of another notecard and then added a few star brads for a little more "Cowgirl Bling".  I am happy with this outcome.  Let me know what you think... I love "Constructive"  critisim and suggestions to make my art pop!  So dont be affraid to let me know.
