I keep coming across different challenge blogs all the time.  I stumbled across this one from another blog.  It has a fab sketch which I just had to play with.  So this card is for the Creative Inspirations blog using their sketch.  I pulled out an old Magnolia stamp to play with and teamed it with those lovely bright MME papers.  I also went all out on snowflakes too!

Supplies: Magnolia stamp; Daisy & Dandelion sentiment stamp; cuttlebug snowflake die, various snowflake punches, brad, gems, black chalk ink, MME papers

1 Card, 5 Challenges

So today I sat down to do some stamping.  On a Saturday I always look through the challenges and see what's around.  There are just so many challenge blogs out there I see what can be combined.  So this card is for fivechallenges, I could have entered into at least eight!  But I thought I would save that for a few more cards.  So, the five challenges are:-

2.  Papertake Weekly - Christmas Crackers
3.  Whiff of Joy - Christmas
4.  Cute Card Thursday - Boys card

My Time to Craft #67

Here's my card for this week's challenge at My Time to Craft which is "Very Vintage".  I have to admit I really struggled this theme this week.  I don't do vintage cards at all, they are really not my thing.  However, the first thing that pops into my head when you say vintage is the colour sepia.  So I made a card using brown tones.  All products are Stampin' Up!

Supplies - all Stampin' Up!

Stamps - Season of Joy

Card - Kraft, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip

Ink - Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip

Ribbon - Chocolate Chip

Whiff of Joy Challenge #56

Here's the third card I made yesterday.  This time I used a fabulous sketch over at Whiff of Joy Challenge.  Although there were a lot of layers, I really enjoyed working with this sketch and love the result.  I used another of the stamps from the winter kit that I hadn't yet inked up and once again used those lovely MME papers.  I am really pleased with all the cards I have made using these papers, glad I have tons of it left!

Supplies:  Whiff of Joy stamp; My Mind's Eye paper; Daisy & Dandelion sentiment stamp; flower, snowflake punch, pearls, brad; ribbon, brown chalk ink; Stampin' Up! eyelet punch, Stampin' Up! oval punch

Today my my mojo was in full swing and I ended up making five cards!  That's the most I have made in a long while.  I'm pleased with every single one of them (which is unusual when I make so many in one go!) and you will get to see them all over the week.

The first card I made I'm entering into two challenges:

1.  Charisma Cardz - Sketch
2.  Stampavie & More - Brown plus 1 other colour

I used my one of my new Magnolias I got on Friday when we popped into Sir Stampalot.  Unfortunately they had sold many of the new Christmas Magnolias however I did manage to get a few.  I also used my new Martha Stewart punch and those lovely MME papers.  I really like this colour scheme, it's a bit different for Christmas.

Sunday Sketch & Stamp #16

The fortnight has gone so quickly, it's time for another sketch over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp.  Sem has provided a fantastic sketch to work with.  Plus the DT got to use some fabulous digi stamps from Michele at Crafts 4 Eternity.  I used the snowman cupcake coloured in using my promarkers.  Unfortunately my printer ink and promarkers do not like each other and you can see some bleeding.  I also used some new Bo Bunny papers which are lovely and bright.

Please visit the rest of the DT to see their lovely creations.

Stamp With Us

Okay a couple of weeks ago Stamp With Us had some online classes.  Unfortunately I didn't manage to get many of them completed however the PDFs are downloaded and saved somewhere safe for me to refer to when I get the chance.  There were some amazing projects and cards and I love taking part as everyone is so friendly.  The chats get a bit wild!  Here are a couple of things I did mange to get done!

The first picture shows everything.

First up, a card which was a sketch challenge for which I won a prize! Yay! 

Supplies - all Stampin' Up!

Stamps - Season of Joy

Paper - Holiday Treasures

Card - Whisper White, Ruby Red, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip

Ink - Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red and Old Olive

Ribbon - Chocolate Chip

The second is a box designed by the fabulously talented (and demonstrator of the year) Monica.  A great idea for a gift box.  I don't think I can bear to part with mine though!

Supplies - all Stampin' Up!

Paper - Ski Slope

Card - Whisper White, Real Red and Bashful Blue

Ink - Bashful Blud and Old Olive

This was another great box (although from the picture you can't really tell it is a box, but it is, promise!) and a bag of reindeer poo designed by Zoe.  The box is actually made to fit a box of Maltesers.  Now how cool is that?  I would love to receive a box of Maltesers is a handmade box like this, wouldn't you?  However it could be used as a standard gift box for anything you like!

The only item that is in the top photo that I've not detailed is the wreath.  It was for another challenge which was to make a picture from punches.  Now I'm limited on SU! punches so I did a search on the internet and saw this.  It uses the scallop oval punch and was great for using up all my Old Olive scraps.

I can't wait for the next round in the New Year!
