Quick and Easy Christmas Card

I have not had time for ANYTHING lately, or so it seems, but wanted to share the one card that I have made in the last month. I had fun stamping with my MIL and a couple of friends, one of whom is new to stamping. This was the perfect card to show a new stamper. Fast and Easy Peasy.

The stamp set I used is TACs "Bunch of Flakes" and another miscellaneous snowflake set that my MIL had (to had a black fingerprint). I paper pieced the scarves, and then used chalks for shading, and markers for the mittens. Fun, fun, fun!

I am Back

I don't know if anyone missed me, but I am back. I have been gone for over a week due to camping, and then a funeral.

Here is the card I made using the sketch I posted this week on A Shade of Blue. This card uses TACs Flutterby set and the Faux Diamonds technique.

I was tagged by Jovi right before I went on vacation, and I hope to get caught up on that...um...later.

A Card or Two

I don't have a lot of time today, but wanted to finally post these two cards I made in the last couple of weeks. I am in the process of getting ready for a church camping trip, just my boys and I, so life it a bit hectic. That also means that I will not be posting at all next week.

That will be a whole week without a computer...let's see if I can make it. LOL!

Lengthy Coaster Frame

I made this frame for my MIL for Mothers Day (belated, since she is coming to visit this coming week) I used one coaster for each of her 6 grandchildren. All she will have to do it add the pictures. I used TACs chipboard letters for the large letters. I traced them on paper, then cut and adhered that paper to chipboard letters. I then "aged" them with Burnt Umber Palette ink. Next I coated the letters with Versamark ink and embossed with UTEE (three layers). I LOVE the way it made the letters stand out and shine.

I didn't want to do too much with these since I don't know what pictures she will choose to put in these and I don't want it to become too busy. I love the results...hopefully she will too.

Another Card Sketch

Here is the sketch challenge that I posted this week on A Shade of Blue. It is a little more complicated than most of the challenges that I post, and I hope that doesn't turn any of you off to doing these challenges.

The card that I made with this sketch uses TACs stamp sets Precious Girl and Trendy Greetings. I also used my Big Shot die cut machine with a Sizzix die to make the tag for the saying.

Oops! Late Again

I just now realized that I never posted this weeks sketch challenge. I don't know why I have such a hard time remembering to do this. Here it is, betther late than never, right?

A New Sketch

I know I missed last weeks sketch challenge, and if you really want to see it, you can check it out in the gallery on A Shade of Blue.

The card that I made here uses one of my newest sets and can be found in the Spring Supplement. It is called Pull Up Anchor, and I LOVE it. I am in the process of making up a card kit using this set, and can't wait to reveal these new card kits to you soon.

The paper on this card is all from TACs Soar with It Collection called Sandz of Time, it just seemed to call to me when I looked at this weeks sketch challenge.

Have fun with the sketch challenge this week.
