White Out Lighthouse

This card is for today's limited supplies challenge on SCS! Wow, this was a tough one, it had a lot of rules and I followed them all. Yipee! I'm so proud of myself. A lot of people cheated on this one I noticed but they really did created beautiful cards by cheating. Anyway I used my old time fave set Lighthouse and the card is very self explanatory. Color of cardstock used is Basic Black, White and Very Vanilla. Black ink, white metal dots and black gingham ribbon. That's all folks! He,he.

SC194 Alaska

This one was for todays sketch challenge on SCS! Images from my LSS and the SU! sets Pines and Creative Corners. Also used a weathered stamp from Mike's for the panel that is dry embossed, you can't really tell from the picture but is there. I used my mesh EF with my Cuttlebug. Bear is embossed with chocolate brown embossing powder. All the edges are distressed and sponged. Colors of ink used: Creamy caramel, Chocolate Chip, Versamark and Always Artichoke. Paper: Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Misc brown, Creamy Caramel and Close to Cocoa. This sketch was a lot of fun.  

Christmas cards for swap

For one of the swaps I'm in. Pictures are not that great. 

CC183 Riding Hood Red, Green Galore, Going Gray

This was my first card for this color challenge. This card started with the feather. I woke up this morning to find this feather that Soleil left on the floor. Since the feather is red I worked around incorporating it to the card. I think is something new and depends on taste. I like it. Better than my second card at least. After I was done I thought I should have punched out a little red circle for the middle of the flower. Too late. Oh well! 

CC183

This was my second attempt at this color challenge. I really could not put it together. This card is so plain. I like the color combo but couldn't figure out how to make it work into a nice and pretty card. Whatever!!!

Swaps

So I didn't get to play today on the SCS challenge because I didn't have all the materials. Sad! But at least I got some catching up on my swap cards. I just sign up for 2 Christmas swaps on SCS, I,m very exited.  I will post a picture of the cards I'm working on for the swaps tomorrow. 

Coffee break!

So today after I made the cards for the Splitcoaststampers challenge I was really craving some coffee. Weird! I haven't had any coffee in months. About 3pm my husband who came home early from work says he wanted some coffee. Now that is weird. He NEVER drinks coffee, I think last time was about a year and a half ago. So we had some really great cappuccinos <- don't really know if that's how you spell it, with whipped cream, cinnamon and caramel on top. Absolutely delicious! We sat at the table, no kids, just us and our great view of the snowy mountain tops. We also had some french bread with butter. It was very relaxing.
