Vintage Santa

I grabbed a few new TAC sets a few weeks back. They had a surprise 50% off sale for their demos, how nice is that? So, I got a few sets I'd been eyeing, but waiting to get. This was one of them. Such a pretty set. Not my usual style, but something about this Santa set just grabbed me. I inked this puppy with Brilliance Coffee Bean ink pad. It has a nice shimmer to it, plus a nice pretty deep color. That matched TAC's Winchester paper line perfectly, so I ended up making a nontraditional Christmas card. The soft blues in the paper went so nicely with some snowflake items I had floating around.

I used a layout from Just Us Girls.

It's been awhile since I've been able to play along on Sparkle's Christmas Challenge, happy I was able to complete a Christmas card on time today!

It's also Bring Out Bling for All Sorts.

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies: TAC Vintage Santa, Winchester SWIC, SU Baja cardstock, stickles, Brilliance ink pad.

Sweetness in Red!

How cute is this image? I got it from Susana's store a few weeks back and finally inked it up. I just heart Elisabeth Bell images! Anyhow, I decided to play along with some challenges too.

This is ABC's Green.

Susana's Try It Out Tuesday-on Thursday this week, Sketch. I flipped my sketch, and angled the center a little.

Stampin' B's Christmas.

Stamp Something Challenge-one ribbon, 2 papers, 3 embellishments, those were flowers, stickles, and brads.

Cute Card Thursday is Primay, which I tried to pull together with the blond hair, red dress, and blue box. But that one might be pushing it just a touch.

Daring Cardmakers was to use Craft Cardstock.

Supplies: Daisy D paper, Wild Wasabi, Craft cardstock, Robin Red, Wild Wasabi SU ink, copics, stickles, nesties,

Stamping and Family Fun Times.

Finally had some time to create today. It's been a busy few days, and it's been a while since I've played some challenges. I hope everyone had a blast for Halloween. Halloween was fun here. Will have to post a fun photo of that in a moment. I embarrassed poor Gabi and it shows all over her face in the photo. Cracked me up when I saw it later! Our cul-da-sac did a theme of Rednecks for Halloween, and I embellished myself with tattoos, big hair and heavy makeup. Not to say those are redneck things, but that combined with our neighbors and yard, it made me blend in well. Gabi seems to be a bit conservative like her momma, so it was over the top for her! My neighbor's helped decorate our front yard, which had Halloween, Nascar, lawnmowers, kid's toys, and other items thrown about. We added some lights just for fun! There's a photo below of that at night.

This is my Monday Mojo Card.

My take on Rachel's Cupcake Inspirational Challenge.

Pile It On's, Thank you.

Flutterby Wed's free challenge week.

I was moved by the pale blue in Rachel's Cupcakes, and the mushrooms. I added a little ladybug, but I think its hard to see in the photo. I used a Cosmo Cricket line from Rachel's store. I added Angel Wings shimmerz, and stickles to her wings. I popped my wagon, and masked her to add the mushrooms. The mushrooms are from a Doodle Fairy set.

Other supplies: CC designs, TAC sentiment, So Saffron cardstock, Red Riding red ink, stickles, copics, nesties.

Tammi's Swap Card.

Here's our last one. So sad! This was so much fun! You all should try this with your stamping friends sometime. Tammi had sent us two kits. I posted the other one about a week ago. She decided to send us this cute image after she sent the first set out. How cute is that mouse?! I had to have the bats on his tail as if he was looking at them. This is an Amy R layout. I liked the circle idea because it showed off the papers she sent us. I did something for the first time ever too, I used staples on a card. I so don't break out of my box too often. I need to, because I always like something after I've tried it.

Anyways, be sure to stop by Tammi, Rachel, Kim and Debbie's blogs to see what they've created!

Supplies: Basic Grey paper, lavendar lace ink, copics, stickles, nesties.

Rachel's Swap Card

Grrr...just typed in my whole post, and my computer freaked out kicked me off line, and when I came back, looked like Blogger didn't save any of it. If there's a funky title below this one, it's cuz of that whole deal. Once more, this is my card for Rachel's swap. I'm excited to see what everyone else did with this one. I was a touch stumped with it, but I love how it turned out. Kinda a cool eerie card! I cut out the crows from my second image, shaded them with Elegant Eggplant, and sponged the end of my circle.

Be sure to check out Kim, Debbie, Tammi and Rachel's blogs to see what they've created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Other supplies: Elegant eggplant ink, cardstock, color box white, primas, scrappers floss, gems, nesties.

Kim's Swap

This is Kim's Halloween swap. Kim and I both fell in love with a few sets that TAC released in Sept with their fall supplement. She called the witch, because she was so stinking cute! And I had colored this one right after Kim challenged me to make a green face! I accepted, and think it did turn out uber cute! Her little green body! I popped out parts of her hat, and broom. The layout is from Amy R's website. I used a sentiment from a different TAC Halloween stamp set. I love that Martha punch.

Be sure to pop by Tammi, Rachel, Debbie, and Kim's blogs to see what they did they with the same supplies.

Other supplies: copics, nesties, stickles, primas, scrappers floss, going grey ink.

Witchy Woman!

Gotta say, I love everything about how this card turned out. This is our host Debbie's kit. This image from Stamping Bella is way too cute! I had a blast coloring her! I even did my own sentiment off the computer, and love how it looks. I noticed after taking my photo that it's not even. I used my bow template from Susana's Store to tie the bow.

Other supplies: nesties, copics, stickles, cuttle bug folder.

Be sure to check out these blogs to see what they made using the same supplies.

Debbie, Kim, Rachel, and Tammi.

Stay tuned until Sat to see all the kits revealed!
