A Very Merry Noel

 There's a new card sketch up today at Atlantic Hearts Sketches. We have a new one every Monday and on Wednesday we announce the winners from the previous week and reveal the DT Members examples. 

Here's my card

Here's the sketch

I made a promise to myself that I would start making Christmas cards throughout the year so I wouldn't be so stressed about making them during the holidays. So this was a perfect sketch to get me started.

I followed the sketch pretty closely but I just had to add a sentiment. I stamped the tree in several shades of Distress Oxides and added some sparkle and snow to it. I embossed the background with a snowfall embossing folder and added a couple of stitched hills of snow.  

So proud of myself for getting my 1st Christmas card made fro 2023!

Snow Fun

 I've got a new sketch challenge up today at Sketches in Thyme on Facebook. This is really a fun sketch and I loved digging through my stash for all the different snowflakes I used. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us.

Here's the sketch 

I really had fun with this sketch. Once I found the photos I decided to use snowflakes for the embellishment cluster down the side of the page. I dug through my stash and found all kinds of snowflakes like die cuts, punches, acrylic pieces and glittered ones. I also found some snowflake washi tape that I thought would work well on the layout. The title was cut with my Cricut.

Say What!

 I've got a new challenge up today over at Cookin' Up Creations. Our theme this month is Alice in Wonderland. There will be some interesting challenges this month! Come play along with us!

These are my two granddaughters. We were at Disney waiting in line for some ride and I'm guessing looking at the wait times for other rides they wanted to go on. I wish I could remember more but I love the looks on their faces. 

So I started with a bright yellow background and then dug into all my Disney papers (I have so much) and cut out different sizes of circles along with the title on my Cricut.  Then I decided to doodle around the title offset and a little on the photo frame. This was a quick and easy layout.

Valentine's Day Card

 We've got a new card sketch challenge up today at Atlantic Hearts Sketches. Every Monday there's a new card sketch and on Wednesday we reveal all the DT Members examples and announce the top 3 winners. I hope you'll stop by and play along.

Here's my take on the sketch

Here's the sketch

I decided to turn this sketch into a Valentine's Day card. The papers are from  a Photo Play collection called Be Mine. I used an MFT stitch and scallop edge die for the lighter paper and then cut out the hearts with my Cricut. The bigger banner was cut with a die from Impression Obsession and the smaller one is from an MFT die. The little hearts are from Michaels.

Bee's Knees

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is Alice in Wonderland and all the challenges will be based on that movie. My challenge is based on the Queen of Hearts character. All you need to do is use hearts on your layout. I hope you'll stop by and play along with us. 

This is my youngest granddaughter getting her hair cut for the start of the new school year. I may be a bit partial but I think she has beautiful hair.

I started with a light blue background and cut all the hearts out on my Cricut. Then just dug through my stash and added the stars, dots, sentiments, flowers and banners along the bottom.
