Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge # 228, Warmest Wishes

As you can see I am in full Christmas mode these days. I have not gotten many cards done lately because of my surgery, but I am doing so much better even walking on my own around the house.  I can't wait until the dr releases me so that I can go back to Curves and build myself up even more.

So, I did pull out a retired set today, so sorry about that, but it just seemed like the perfect thing to go with this paper.  The background paper came from the Trim the Tree DSP stack. The papers are smaller and work great for cards and such.

I used Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise for my colors, I love how it came out.
Here is this weeks sketch, you should really think about joining in, it's fun and it really helps to expand your abilities. 

I have a question for you, since you are here, I am wondering, how many of you make your Christmas cards you send?  And if so, do you make them all, or send some store bought?

Ho, Ho, Ho, and Merry Christmas. Have fun making your Christmas cards.

Stampin Up, 10 Days of Christmas for 2014


I love the chalkboard technique! It sure made this a fun card and so easy.   Just use black CS and emboss using white embossing powder. I sponged just a tiny bit of white from my white craft pad on it for that chalkboard look.

I cut a second Deco label the same size as the red, out of silver glimmer paper, cut across it bringing the top and bottom out a bit for framing.  Just gave it that pretty extra touch.

Hope this helps with your Christmas cards.

Stampin Up, Quick and Simple Sat for Oct 4th.



Good  morning. Before we talk about my card today I have some news. Some of you have seen my posts about my problems with walking and even sitting.
Well, I have known for a few weeks now what the problem is. I have a very bad hip, it's bone on bone, and I am scheduled for surgery in a few days.

I am very fortunate to have a fantastic Dr here in our area who does a very high tech hip replacement using a special table and laser so that the cut is from the front and little to no muscle has to be cut.

While I happen to hate surgery and will avoid it at pretty much all costs, I have gotten to the point that I can't do much of anything.  So, I just want it over.  So, if you don't see much for a while, know I am recouping and not able to post. Hopefully it will not last very long, I do love making my cards and stuff and showing them off.

So, this may not look like quick and simple, but it really is. One stamp set along with a Designer series paper from the Holiday stack. I like these as they are cut to card size, quick and easy to use.

I colored in the image, however, it's darling just stamped in black. It looks like a sketch. But I love using my Blendabilities, they are so much fun, so I couldn't help myself.   If you do use them, be sure to use the Memento black, not the Stazon black as that can run with the Blendies.

I hope you enjoy.
