Snowflake Skates

Hello everyone! Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is just around the corner!  Here is another Christmas card that is going to be part of my cards to send out for this year.  I'm using this week's sketch by Freshly Made Sketches #264.  My paper is from a Christmas paper pack by DCWV.  I added the snowflake dimensional sticker by Jolee's Boutique. I'm not quite sure who the sentiment stamp is by. It is part of a set of three.

Happy Couple

I wanted to showcase this card before November was over.  This card I made for my son and daughter-in-law's 15th wedding anniversary which was in this month.  The image is a digital stamp by Mo Manning.  I just love her digital images!😊  It is called "Kitchen Dance".  I colored it with

Caran d'Ache Pablo colored pencils. 

The designer paper is from an Authentique paper pad called "Grateful".  The sentiment stamp is from Stampendous.

Season's Greetings

I've always liked looking at all the Mojo Monday sketches, so this time I decided to take part in one.  This is sketch #475.

I really like the layout and it wasn't too hard to put together.

The paper I used is by Basic Grey called "Jovial". (These were some leftover pieces from last year's Christmas Cards).  The stamp I used for the image is a Recollections stamp from Michaels and the sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado; part of a set of clear stamps called "Warm Holiday Wishes".

Instead of a snowflake, I used a Jolee's Boutique embellishment called "mini pinecone bunches".

This card is the first of many more Christmas cards that I will be making!

Falling Leaves

It's almost Thanksgiving and I've been working on some Thanksgiving cards.
Here is one I made from a sketch by Freshly Made Sketches. It's sketch number 263.
The paper I used is by Little Yellow Bicycle called "Acorn Hollow".
The leaves were cut out with Spellbinder Dies and I sponged them with distressing ink.


                                                

On the inside I used a leaf stamp by Inkadinkado and stamped just off the edges.

The greeting was done on the computer.

On this card I used my Tim Holtz "Crazy Cats" stamps and dies.  I like how the inside came out with the cat looking at all the things he could play with.

I made these two cards using a Freshly Made Sketch.  It is FMS #74 from 2013.  I've been surfing the net looking for various sketches and I came across this one and just loved the layout.  As you can see, I used it to make two sympathy cards, but I plan to use this same sketch for birthday and anniversary cards.

The two front panels are both spellbinder dies and the butterfly is from a BoBunny die set of three called "Flutter Dies".   I added some glitter to the butterflies. (Probably can't see it). The stamped image is an Inkadinkado stamp called Dogwood Flowers.  I colored the image with Derwent Inktense pencils.  I just started using these pencils and I really like the way the flowers looked after I colored them.  

The sentiment is by My Sentiments Exactly.

Oh! Yes!

I also added a flower embellishment on each. They are Grand Adhesions Dimensional Stickers from K&Company.

My parents celebrated their wedding anniversary on July 17th and this is the card I made for them.  I used spellbinder dies for the corners and the sentiment tag.

Three years ago, they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. My siblings and I gave them an anniversary party and we surprised them with the renewing of their wedding vows!

My daughter and I made the invitations to the event and here is what they looked like.  My daughter used her Cricut machine to make the labels.
