Seasons Greetings--WMSC121

Another weekly post of a card for the Waltzingmouse sketch challenge. This week the sketch was created by Jeanne Jachna- WOOT WOOT!!




















I inked up one of the nutcrackers from Waltzingmouse's Nutcracker Sweet and colored with copics. Sentiment is from this set also. Added some music bars {dang, I know this isn't the right phrase, I played the piano for years when I was young but, for the life of me I'm blank} from Waltzingmouse's Musical Backgrounds on the blue panel. Added some ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel and gold halfback pearls from Pizzazz APlenty. Another Christmas card done.

Quick post- my hubs is getting overwhelmed with the trick-or-treaters.... I need to go help!!

PS.. Waltzingmouse {click on bolded text for the link} has sneek peaks going on now for a release this Friday.... wonderful stuff, just sayin'!! All the DT cards have been fabulous... I've looked but, not time to comment... busy week!!

PSS... was in such a hurry to help hubs with the trick-or-treaters I forgot to add Jeanne's WMS sketch.


Thanks for stopping by!! Appreciate all the kind words!!

glad tidings!!

The Christmas card creating is under way at my house!! It's almost here... can you believe it!! Have you started shopping... I haven't bought the first thing... Yikes!! Usually by now, I have a list... have bought some stocking stuffers or something- this year- no list... no stuffers!

I DO have another Christmas card done though... working on the Verve weekly sketch challenges.

Used some papers from MME All is Bright and played with Stampendous Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel... fun!! The snowflakes are from Verve's Glad Tidings and the smaller two were die cut using Verve's Snowflake Tidings die, the largest was "fussy cut". Added a sentiment from Glad Tidings to finish.

Here's the week 4 sketch... just a little note- if you make a card using all the month's sketches and post on SCS- you could be in the running for a big ole' prize. Click on SCS for the information.

Busy Sunday for me... and it's starting to get chilly... we expected weather changes... certainly thankful we aren't farther up the coast!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!

Thank You--ISSC39!

It's Friday morn' and time for another I Spy sketch!! Y'all created fabulous cards last week.... keep 'em coming!! This is the sketch challenge where we look for YOUR cards for Inspiration!!

ISSC39 is by Maureen Plut ( at SCS) and is inspired by this card. I totally love this card and should be ashamed to admit that I really CASEd it versus just using the sketch... what can I say!?!?

Mine is a "titch" more spring oriented versus fall though! Used the same PTI Harvest Berries and coordinating dies. I kept myself from using the PTI edger die that Moe used and... I got a little bit carried away with the Harvest Berry Die but, honestly... Love it!! Sentiment is another fav from Verve's Lean On Me stamped on Verve's embossed oval.

Here's the sketch.... lots of possibilites for interpretation {MHO}

So.....have fun and get to Stampin!! Make a card using the sketch - and link it up.... we'd LOVE to see what you create!! Make sure and stop by the blog to see what the other Special Agents created-serious creativity and inspiration!!

Hope you are having a wonderful Friday and wishing you a fabulous WE!!

Good Wednesday Evening!! Hope the week's going well for you! I have had a chance to do a little stamping and loving it!! This week's Waltzingmouse sketch is from Ms. Clare Buswell... fabulous sketch-- so many possibilites! Some goodies arrived the other day and so I have "something old and something new" for my card this week.

Ha... I think this could be used for a wedding card! Lots of WMS goodness going on!! The little tag uses WMS Opera Tags- stamp set and Spellbinders dies {spellbinder dies unique to this WMS set}... don't you just love the shape and that teeny but, perfectly clear sentiment!! And... those Apple Blossoms from WMS Vintage Garden Flowers... sigh!! Not to mention the background... WMS French Country and the oval image from WMSVintage Circles Small.

Butterflies!!

Happy Sunday!! Hope you've been having a great weekend!! My neice stopped by on her way from Maine to Florida... we knew she was going to come by, just not when. Always fun to visit with family! While my DH and neice are watching TV {I think napping a bit too!} I thought I would get this card posted that I made the other day.

I used the CR84FN65 color challenge of light pink, tan, and cream and since I was using MFT's Inspired by Butterflies I thought I would use this week's MFT sketch. {Click on the bolded words for a direct link to both challenges.}

The butterfly from MFT's Inspired by Butterflies was stamped with soft suede, colored with copics, and cut with MFT's coordinating die-namic. Added some glitter to the wings for sparkle. Used a MFT doily for the center and topped with a circle nestie which was stamped with a sentiment from Inspired by Butterflies, heat embossed and then dry embossed with a SU Victorian folder. Added the sentiment on a MFT fishtail flag die-namic. A Pink Paislee wooden button with cloth brad on top to finish.
