Christmas Card Challenge Week #40

Wow, Sunday already. 

Another week has gone by, so quickly, that I can't find where it went. lol  As you read this, I'll be hanging out with two of my most favorite people, my sister and brother in law.  I have Monday off so they came up from Austin to spend the extended weekend with me.  We've done nothing but be bums, and eat shaved ice.  Talk about happy campers! lol

I have another Christmas card to share with you.  This weeks challenge is a color combo of chocolate, cream and cranberry.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

I really like how this turned out.  The deep, rich colors, are fabulous together.  I also love the embossing on the patterned paper.  The text paper adds just the right touch to finish off my card.  I've added the following challenges into my card.

Last But Not Least Challenge #8 - Embossing
Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge #71 - Bling
Twisted Sketches #75 - Sketch

I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend, and enjoy the extra day off, if you were fortunate enough to have it.  I'll be back soon with another card. :)

Hugs!

Just Because

Hi ya'll!

Are you shocked that I have another crafty posting for you this week? lol  I got some extra time on Sunday to play with my goodies too.  I was inspired by someone I happened upon from Jennifer McGuire's blog, Britta Swiderski, to pull out my horribly neglected distress inks.  Here is what my results were.

I'm actually quite excited that it turned out as pretty as it did.  I think I may need to break out the distress inks more often.  I have to point out that I'm very surprised I didn't include any embossing or Nestabilities on my card.  This hasn't happened in a long time.  I'm happy to be joining April's Last But Not Least challenge as well.  You should head over and check it out.  They have a great sketch that I flipped, that my card is loosly based on.  I know exactly who will get this card. :)

Have a great day!
Hugs!
