CCC #9 - Season's Greetings

Happy Sunday!

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend, and accomplished some scrappy goodness.  I've been trying to clean out my closets and organize the stuff I have in the garage, but it isn't coming along as well as I had hoped.  Maybe next weekend. lol

This weeks CCC is to incorporate acrylic or transparencies on your card.  Keep in mind that the challenges are optional, and any Christmas or winter card will do.  The idea is to help you add to your stash before the holiday arrives.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.


I had a lot of fun with this simple card.  First, it's REALLY simple, and was a good challenge for me to keep it that way.  Second, I had never stamped onto any kind of transparency or acrylic/acetate sheet before.  Last, I actually did ok cutting it out, without having to stamp an extra because I messed it up. lol  I like the pop of blue and green against the kraft and white, and will probably create several more identical to this one. 

You should check out what the other designers have created for today.  I love them all!

Hugs!

US #91 - Happy Birthday

Hi everyone!

Yes, it's another birthday card.  I know, I know, I'm honestly ready to move on to more Valentine cards, but there were tons of January birthday's in my office.  This is the last one for this month.  I loved this weeks US sketch and think my card turned out pretty neat.  For this weeks sketch, click HERE.


The birthday girls favorite color is purple.  And, even though I like the color, I have a hard time working with it.  I paired it with the saffron color and a pop of green and pink, and think that these colors work really well together.  I already had the Verve flower colored and stickled, so it went along almost perfectly with the card.  It is a bit more pink-ish, but all in all it's not too mismatched.  I think she'll like it. :)

Head on over to the US blog to see what everyone has created for you today.  There are some really great projects posted.

Have a wonderful Saturday!
Hugs!
