Colour Create Challenge #86

Just days away from Christmas now!!  I have been busy making gifts and cards, hanging out with my children, fixing a computer crash and doing it all ignoring a winter cold!  I have made several different Christmas cards this year.  This is one of my favorites.  I had been thinking about this card for several months but put off using the stamp thinking that my skills might grow and I might get a few more tools to really make a nice card. Good THINKING!!  After receiving wonderful birthday gifts from family and friends I did accumulate better tools and I used them for this card!!  The angel is embossed with silver embossing powder.   I have to say it looks better in person but here it is!    I am entering this card in a color challenge to use Blue, Silver and White:  COLOUR CREATE CHALLENGE #86

Paper: GKD Pure luxury,  Recollections Silver "Precious Metals"
Stamp: Inkadinkado

PPC45 and Winter Wonderland VSN

So...it was my birthday on Saturday.  To celebrate I let my teen and tween have their friends over  with the intention of spending the day in my craft room working on "Winter Wonderland VSN" over at SCS!  I headed out for my free birthday Starbucks Pumpkin Frapp, picked up our friends and I was all set to stamp!!!  In 2 days of stamping....I managed to make .....are you ready????  7 whole cards!!!!  LOL....Between this and that and stumbles here in there ...7 cards out of 17 challenges!!  LOL.

This was the 2nd to last card I stamped...I think I was just getting into the groove by the time these last challenges came out!!!!  Our challenge was to create a winter scene. I followed the link that was listed to Theresa Momber's web page.  Theresa is such a talented artist.  I love viewing her step by step photos!!  If you want to see how I created this card click here for Theresa's blog: Crafting the web

For my tree I used Kitchen Sink Stamps multi stamp.  I stamped the tree once in black using stamp 1 and then using stamp 2, I covered it with white.  That gives my tree the look of snow on it!!!  This set is my first Kitchen Sink Stamp set but I don't think my last!!! 
I thought this would be a great entry for: Playing in Paradise #45

Pastel Card Set

So...I have one "Warm Fuzzy" done but I really need two to go to MN.  Not sure I am going to get them done.  My head is just full of gift ideas.  Now to get them from my head to the work table!!!!

I was inspired this week to make a card set to give away this Christmas.  I actually want to complete quite a few sets but Lee with her "Summertime in November" challenge at StampTV gave me the added push I needed to sit down and CREATE!  If you look hard you might be able to see a little sparkle I added with a clear glitter pen!!
