CSALY #18

Maria once again has challenged us with a great sketch to work with!

I used Stampin Up colors Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss...LOVE these colors!! I so sad that they are not permanent colors in the line. I am having the most fun with these challenges. I am so excited that I am getting a nice stash of cards for Christmas. We are almost into June...can you believe it, time sure flies when you are having fun!

E is for ....

I have not been posting much besides my CSAYL challenges so here is something fun....

This is the card I made for my monthly alphabet swap. Can you guess what letter we are on???? Yep, E is for elephant! Image is from Stampin Up background paper I think is Basic Grey. I love the saying on this image "to an unforgettable friend".

I hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend. We are having family for the weekend!! I am just glad that I get THREE days off in a row!! Happy dance! We are going to see the new Star Trek movie Saturday, Burney Falls on Monday and will be spend countless hours by the pool. Weather should be perfect!

Debbie of "the Paper Garden" will be hosting our challenges every 3rd week of the month and this week her challenge is a color combo challenge! The color combo is: Sage, Chocolate, Peach.

I used Stampin Up colors: Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip, Apricot Appeal. I love this over sized snow flake, it is yet another one of my favorites! These colors look so pretty together! I just love how it turned out. It was so easy I made 8 of them....I am on my way to having a great supply of Christmas cards for this year!!!

Vicki challenged us to add a little Zing with Christmas Bling this week! We could use Glitter........... Red, Green, Gold, Silver.........anything that suited our fancy! Rhinestones or Blingy Brads, Some Pretty Embossing anything that resembles Tinsel or Christmas Lights!

So as you can see I used gold embossing and red rhinestones as my zing! Once again this was a super fun week and I love how my card turned out. I made four, one for each sister!

CSAYL #15 - Color Challenge

This week Maria posted a color challenge for us! I like these colors together. The red with the teal and turquoise make an unexpected nice combo!

This was a fun challenge this week. I used a lot of pop up dimension on this card. I have been trying to on a few of these challenges to use images that are not typically in the "Christmas" category. We are doing 52 weeks of challenges and although I may have plenty of images, I want others to know that if you don't you can impressive and create fun cards by thinking outside the box.

Colors are all Stampin Up, Real Red, Taken By Teal, and Tempting Turquoise. I even used a little gold & glitter that you can see in the photo on the star.
