CAS Snow

Hello, I hope you are doing well! It’s time for our CAS challenge over at The Paper Players and the theme is Snow. I so enjoyed this challenge being a Florida girl and all. Plus it gives me a jumps start on Christmas cards.

Card Details: I made my snowbanks with Oxide Inks and a template made from a Lawn Fawn- hills die. I use acetate so I can reuse them again. The cute little Ele is from MFT, the snowflakes are from Gina K Designs, the sentiment is Gina K too. The Santa hat die is from Lawn Fawn. I used a mix of three colors to achieve the color I was looking for. Broken China, Iced spruce, and Tumbled Glass.

I am also going to link my card up over at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Snow!

For more fabulous inspiration, be sure to visit the rest of the Paper Players Design Team!

A Bouquet…

Hello, How is it Saturday already? After this week’s events, I think we all could use a little bouquet of flowers as I pick me up. Not to mention the ongoing Pandemic. SIGH! Making this card was a nice distraction to escape from this world that I don’t recognize anymore. Over at Just Us Girls, it’s Trend Week and all you have to do is use a stencil.

Card Details: The stencil is called Groovy and from Mayco I do believe, the cute little elephant is an old stamp set that I have never used. It is from Crafters Companion. I used colored pencils as my medium.

I am once again going to link this cute little guy up over at NBUS with the incredible Darnell.

I hope you will consider joining us at JUGS this week and however you choose to spend your day that it will be a happy one. Take care, Nanc’

Season’s Greetings

Hello, I hope you are doing well and managed to enjoy your Christmas despite the difficult year we have all had. Mine was very nice and I feel very blessed to say the least!! Our son and daughter in law are still here for a few more days. I will be a big pile of mush when they have to leave. Anyhoo, I stumbled upon a Christmas card that I had not yet shared and it was one of my favorites. I was inspired by my friend Linda Snodgrass’s card that she sent me last year. So this is a case of her beautiful work that I have pictured below. Now that I look at it again I realize I failed to add the stars!

I am linking my card up over at The Card Concept where they asked us to post either a favorite holiday card, our Christmas tree, or favorite decoration. As I mentioned above this is one of my favorite cards I made this year.

Card Details: The Santa sled is from Kitchen Sink Stamps, the rest of the stamps are from Stampin Up, and I used Oxide Inks for my blending and some fine glitter for the water sparkle. Instead of using post-it notes for masking, I used transparencies (which is basically acetate), that way I can wash them off and use them again. Much cheaper too!

I will be back on New Year’s Day with another post or maybe sooner!

Take care and stay well, Nanc’

Ribbon and a Button with a SFYTT

Happy Monday,  Is that an oxymoron? LOL  Well Monday is here any way you look at it! 🙂  As my son ALWAYS says…”Everyday is a miracle, and I hate to waste a miracle” isn’t he awesome!!!  I learn from him everyday!  He is such a blessing to me!

Today’s card is for the Ribbon Carousal Blog….Must use a button and a Bow and it’s also for the SFYTT sketch for the month!  If you have never crossed paths with either of these fabulous blogs you are missing out!  I have linked them up for you, so go have yourself a look!

Don’t think you can tell in the photo, but the black paper is embossed with my cuttlebug!

Enjoy your day!

Seeing Stars…..

In more ways than one!  I’ll explain in a minute- This card is from a challenge over at Stamp TV. Gina asked us to create a project that has stars on it somewhere. It can be anywhere you want- in the background, as a focal image or in the photo of a scrapbook page.  This is what I came up with at the last minute before the challenge was over.  I always seem to be either almost late for a challenge or miss it all together!! LOL  Does this happen to you??

The other reason I will be seeing stars tonight (performing stars) is that in a few minutes my family and are are going to see WICKED the musical- at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts.  Tyler and are are really excited and hopefully when it is all said and done my DH will have enjoyed it as well. ( He’s not quite as excited as us) LOL

We have been waiting for this forever!
