TTS #4 and i {heart} sketches #43

Happy Saturday!! If you are looking for my Sweet Stampin' post, please scroll down ;)

Last night I started coloring up this super fun image from From the Heart Stamps while cyber chatting with my good PEEPS, Leanne and Tamie! 

I started out with this gorgeous color challenge from 'Tis the Season....

 

I then needed a sketch and decided this one was *perfect* from i {heart} sketches:

 

 Here is my card using both of these jump-off point challenges:

The added challenge at 'Tis the Season was to add twine and I did that on my flag piece....the sentiment was cut out of cherry cobbler using my new Paper Smooches wise dies :)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Merry Monday Challenges - Trees w/ bling (I am counting the pearls and the shiny star lol)
Charisma Cardz - Christmas
One Crazy Stamper - November Christmas Challenge

 Thank you so much for poppin' in today!! I am off to finish clearing the snow out of our yard and get some much needed housework started! I will hopefully be back either tonight or tomorrow with another for-fun project!! CHEERS!

WCMD #2 and a New-To-Me-Challenge Blog!

Welcome back :) 

I'm so thrilled to report that I got to make one more card to help celebrate World Card Making Day! AND...I also played in a new-to-me challenge called 'Tis the Season Challenge! This is awesome as I might be able to get some cards made before Christmas ;) Thanks for such an awesome sketch ladies!

I stayed very true to the sketch except I didn't "wrap" my ribbon ;) I used a Stampin' Up! sentiment, EP paper pack called Holly Jolly Christmas, MFT star dies and a couple different snowflake punches! Easy peesy, lemon squeezy! :) I am very happy that I took the time to relax and stamp this afternoon...it's been wayyy too long!! I hope you all had a chance to play along with WCMD!!
