I took on the weekly challenge at ISC…Colors light blue and light green with white, Theme winter, Must also add 2 kinds of fiber.

Here’s my simple winter card:

Another great sketch from Stamping 411.  I enjoyed putting this Christmas card together.

I love adding different textures with ribbon, embossing, shiny and matte papers.  It gives the card a lot of movement.

I tried the Stamping 411 Challenge 126 tonight.  I made a Christmas card using red, black and white.

Here’s mine:

Another great sketch from Card Patterns.

I am trying out how many different ways I can use the same die cuts…here’s another card using dies from my Silhouette SD machine.

I love these papers from Stampin Up.

I was inspired by Connie at Inkspired Treasures spilt step card.  She gave the layout to make our own.  I used my Silhouette SD machine to make the layout and cut the card for me.  I used other elements from my die cut library to put this Happy Birthday Card together for my 4 yr old’s friend.

I even added a cute paint set for him to use as well.  Kids usually don’t like cards but when you add a toy of some kind they love them.

Another challenging sketch from Stamping 411.  I made two this time.  Check out the sketch.

The cards I made used stampin up papers, elements were cut from my Silhouette SD machine, and misc. stamps.  I love the bold colors together with a simple design.

I love the intricate detail of the fairy.

Simple Birthday Card.

Card Patterns has a great sketch this week that I just had to try.  I got so excited when I saw it and had the perfect elements for the card.  Here is the sketch.

And I came up with this…

I used a 6×6 lilac card base, cut my elements from my Silhouette SD machine, and a piece of ribbon.

Simple and effective with using a background stamp from Stampin Up to give the cardstock some design.

Every Saturday night my MIL, SIL Hubby and I get together to play cards.  We have a blast playing Shanghai Rummy.  We were keeping score on scrap paper but since we are all so competitive – well at least my Hubby and SIL are – I made an altered journal for us to keep our scores in.

I didn’t have spare cards so I made my own using a Studio G stamp set and cover a composition book.  We are now serious gamers.

This weeks challenge was hosted by Jessie F.  She provided us with a sketch.

And here is the cute card I made from a card kit I received from a swap.  Thanks 5treasures for the great kit.

Here is a new layout using the November Scrappers Guide Premier Kit.  I love there kits and you get soooooooooooo much in the kits to use.

I used a photo of my sisters and their kids.  They have the girls in the family.  What a great celebration of family.
