Last Day of November

 November: Sponsor: Lawn Fawn with a prize of

a$25 gift card to their store. Be sure to enter your project by 9:00 p.m. Pacific time tonight.

Make a card with a critter and enter today before 9:00 p.m. Pacific time tonight. I'm looking forward to seeing your cards in the gallery.

I liked this card without anything on the bench, but wondered if I should put something on the bench and did. I still like them both.

This set has so many different sentiments that can be used with the other sentiments in so many different ways. I loved the statment I used above the singing mice - "Deck the Halls" "With Swiss" "And Cheddar". In my head I finish that sentiment with "fa la la la la la la la la". I hope to make more Holiday cards with these cuties as I stamped and die-cut at least 4 of each critter.

DO you LOVE those lamp posts? I do and the bows are part of the set.

Same card with a note on the bench.
The note on the bench says "Mice Carols".

Sharing my Card from Last Week for Craft Roulette

I am very happy with the card I made for the Craft Roulette challenge on November 21st and here are the parameters below.

My card:
Project: A2 size card
Colors: Holiday red, green & gold
Element: Deer, houses & gondolas for the skiers going up to ski down
Random: My fancy paper is the gold background with stars

I was going to put Stickles on the stars, but found I didn't like it at all, so I smeared the stickles all over the golden sky.  I really like this scene - it's fun, bright and cheerful.  I colored all the little die cuts, except the trees and deer.

Supplies:
Birch Press WavyHillside
Waffle Flower Holiday Cheer Stamps & dies
Waffle Flower Postage Collage Winter View Elements Die
Waffle Flower Holiday Cheer Combo (Sentiment stamps & dies)
Poppy stamps Evergreen Trio Craft Die (trees)

Be Creative and Enjoy Creative Crafters in November

   The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made a Christmas card as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

I thought I would like this tree die, but guess what?  I LOVE this die.  So easy - only two dies and I just spread snow on top of the white layer.  (TRUE SNOW, that is). You could use glitter paper too.  This is the first time I've used the tree.  It's perfect for filling an A2 card size.

October Card Chain Challenge Reveal

I just couldn't find trees in my die cuts and overlooked my Stencils.

Now I'm armed and dangerous.  hahaha

I mailed this card without taking a picture and thanks to Imke, I now have a picture to show you my creation based on "trees".  
The backgrounds are all stenciled.  I used Aleene's True Snow on the 9c panel.  All the other panels have die cuts on top of the stenciled backgrounds.

Playing with Lawn Fawn Critters

  Die Cut Divas is having a Critters month at Die Cut Divas 

with a $25 gift card to their store.

Everyone loves critters, so I'm thrilled to let a few critters enjoy their home. Lawn Fawn has so many cute critters to play with, so I'm having a play. It's Challenge Time at Die Cut Divas and it's all about Critters!

I wasn't sure if that background would work or not and it's been in my stash forever, at least it seems so. I kept going through my stamps and dies, finding bits I wanted to add to my little scene. I am quite satisfied with it and made it for someone special who's had to move away.

Supplies:
Lawn Fawn Build-a-House

Lawn Fawn Build-a-House Beach add on

I selected Cameo 8 for my image to color.  I don't think I've ever colored her before and if I have it's been YEARS.  So many beautiful women in the gallery to choose from. I do think that I would choose a different blue for the image background.  I hope you like her as much as I do.
