December 1 -- the start of a very busy month! It's also the start of a new challenge on the SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog. The theme this month is: Celebrations.
Since my husband and I celebrate our anniversary in December (35 years -- I am having trouble getting my head around that number!), I took advantage of one of Andrea Norris' beautiful floral images to make my husband an anniversary card for this challenge.
Here is Freesia Vase, found in the SheepSki Designs Etsy Shop.
I colored Freesia Vase with Copic markers. The sentiment is computer generated.
The houndstooth background paper is a new release from We Are 3 Digital Shop. It is one of the papers in the new Houndstooth Neutral Collection.
I made the card base and layers with a set of Spellbinders dies. The various heart dies are from my stash, and I no longer know the manufacturers. The green glimmer trim and yellow card base are from Close To My Heart.
I hope you find time to join us this busy month of December for the Celebrations challenge at SheepSki Designs challenge blog. I'd love to see what you make, and there are great prizes you can win -- like this wonderful Freesia Vase digi!

December 1! It may not officially be winter, but it sure feels like it where I live. We've been bundling up in winter clothes for months already! So, I'm wishing you warm winter wishes today!
December 1 -- it's the start of a new challenge for the All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge. This month's theme is seasons/holidays. Since I'm burning out on Christmas cards, I went with a winter theme on this one instead :)
Isn't she the sweetest? Wendy Burns draws the most lovable characters that are so fun to color! You will find this Snowy Day digital stamp, and many other wonderful digis in the All Dressed Up Etsy Shop.
I colored Snowy Day with Copic markers. The sentiment is computer generated.
The teal designer paper is from We Are 3 Digital Shop. This is one of the papers in the Touch of Teal Collection.
The step card base was cut out with a die from Sizzix. The snowflake dies are from Lawn Fawn, and the teal twine is from Timeless Twine.

Isn't that as cute as can be?!? I colored Mice Making Snowman with Copic markers.
The designer papers on this card are from the We Are 3 Digital Shop. The houndstooth paper is just released today, and its part of the Houndstooth Holiday Collection. The blue paper is from the Christmas Magic collection.

End of November, greetings, blog readers. This is it, the last day of November. Tomorrow, there is no turning back -- it's hustle and bustle all the way to Christmas!
Today, it's time for some mid-challenge inspiration on the Aloha Friday Challenge Blog. Our theme this 2-week challenge is All Wrapped Up (dress warmly). Our sponsor is Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez, and I've used an image of hers for my mid-challenge inspiration card:
This is image Bear with Cup, colored with Copic markers. Papers on this card are also by Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez. They are from the Blue Christmas Collection.
The Aloha Friday Challenge, All Wrapped Up (dress warmly) challenge goes for another week. You still have plenty of time to enter, and we've got great prizes from our sponsors -- like this one!
Greetings, fellow crafters! Here we are, in the last week of November. Christmas is less than a month away. Yikes!
It's Tuesday, so that's new release day at Bugaboo Stamps. Today's new release is Sunbonnet Winter 2, and she's a sweetie!
I colored Sunbonnet Winter 2 with Copic markers. I spent all Friday afternoon filling markers, and one of them must have been overfilled because it blopped on here. Can you see where, or did I disguise my error?
I used the sketch from this week at Sketch Saturday. Here's the sketch:
The designer paper on the front of this card (pink hearts and pattern) is from We Are 3 Digital Shop. It's one of November's new releases, Touch of Teal.
I cut the snowflake doily out on my Silhouette Cameo 3 with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.

Friday! Freebie! It's time for Freebie Friday at Bugaboo Stamps! Yea! Every Friday, there's another freebie you can grab. Color it up and enter it in the Catch The Bug Challenges!
I live in Wisconsin, the Dairy State, so I'm drawn to cows. Today's free digi, Cow Pile, is a great one for me. I can think of lots of farmer friends to send this one to!
I colored Cow Pile with Copic markers, working to shade each cow, distinguishing between the different cows in the pile. I had a bit of a puzzle sorting out hooves, heads, utters, bodies, but I think I got it!
Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. These are from the November New Release. They are the Howdy Paper Collection.
I used several sizes of a Spellbinders label die and a bit of ribbon from my stash on this card.
I hope you take time to check out what the other talented Bugaboo Stamps Design team did with this awesome freebie on the Catch The Bug blog today. You won't be disappointed!
