Sentimental Sundays #182: Winter Wonderland

Hello everyone and good morning!!

Can you believe that it's a month before Christmas!!??

I know, I don't even want to think about it either, but it will be here before you know it!!!

At least this year, I can say that I have completed all my Christmas cards, with a few extras to go around!!

At Sentimental Sundays today, we have a new challenge to help you out with those Christmas cards.

This weeks theme is: 

Winter Wonderland

We are being sponsored by Meljen's Designs and were allowed to play with their super fantastic images. 

Today I am playing with, Bundled Little Snowboy

Isn't he just the cutest!!   He's been colored with Copic markers.  I applied lots of shimmery glittery glitter glue to his hat, scarf, mittens and even the snow around him!!  Nothing says winter like snow. 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenge:

Tip Top Tuesday #114

Tip:

 I love using sketches to get a creative jump start. Great ideas always come from inspiration and sketches are my inspirational motivator.  I always pick out papers that will work with the sketch, as well as the image I am working with.

Christmas Tags

Good morning everyone-

It is a cold and wet morning here in California. 

My Patrick is really under the weather this week and I am hoping that we (the babies and I) don't catch what he has.  He's extremely congested, has a sore throat and has hot/cold moments.  Of course, when he's sick, he's the biggest baby in the house!! LOL

So moving on to today's challenge over at Sentimental Sundays. 

With Christmas only 9 days away, we are asking that to see some Christmas Tags. 

They can be tags for your gifts, that fancy bottle of wine or luscious gift basket you created. 

Just makes sure that we see a sentiment.

Here is what I created:

I really enjoyed making these!!  I cut the base of the tags using my Cameo.

We are being sponsored by Meljen's Designs and I am using Jingle Bells and Joy Garland digital images. 

There you have it, I hope that you will find time in the Christmas rush to join us this week.

Good morning friends-

It's Sunday and it's time for another Sentimental Sundays Challenge. 

This week we want to see 

"Things with Wings"

Now seriously, how easy is that?

If you love butterflies, we want to see them.

If you love fairies, we want to see them.

If you love dragons, lady bugs, dragonflies....etc.

We want to see anything that has wings!!

Here is my card sample for this weeks challenge:

This week we are being sponsored by two wonderful companies.

Hi blogging friends-

I am back this morning to share another card that I made for the Sentimental Sundays challenge today!!

I  have made step cards before, but never a double -sided stair step card. 

So for me, this was fun and a bit challenging!!

Here is my card sample:

Here is a close up of my free handed cut pumpkins and my colored image.

I used Meljen's Pumpkin Bumpkin image!  I had it colored and wanted to use it last week, but I'm glad that I held off because I managed to fine a sheet of Crate Paper to put this card together. 

I have to admit that I am finding it very refreshingly challenge to make cards without all the hassle of having to find embellishments to match....Please don't tell Patrick I said that!! LOL!!!

Thanks for peeking through today!!!
