FLLCSEPTRW1 Dear Santa

The noontime release week challenge was to create a card for a kid.  My boys love the looks of gingerbread men, but they don't like the taste of them.  I pulled out the kraft to use with it.

Stamps: Sweets of the Season Flourishes
C/s: Kraft, red, white
DP: Retired SU! from my scrap box
circle nestabilities, copics, Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder, scallop border punch

A card a day keeps the mojo flowin'... until next time!

FTTC185 Mini Card



This week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge was to create a mini card.   Even though our temps are still 100*+, I know that the holidays will be here before we know it & I'm gonna need some cards.  This challenge was perfect!  I can mass produce these & they are flat, so they will mail out easily enough.

Stamps:  Sweets of the Season, Flourishes
C/S: white, red
Snowflakes Cuttlebug folder, circle nestabilities, copics, red grosgrain ribbon, red gingham ribbon

From the Scrap Box


This post is a stamper's equivalent of "cleaning out the fridge".  After participating in a "No Spend August" challenge & seeing how much "stuff" I still have that hasn't been used, I set some goals for September.  I want to use some of my scraps & some of my "what do I do with this" ribbon.   I'm not ready to bring out my fall colors yet, since we are still over 100*,  but I did find the scrap of green in my box & the apple image.   I decided I could do an apple today.

On a personal note, it's a Snoopy Dance kinda day here... one of my boys had a "minor" change made with his archery 6 weeks ago.  It wasn't a good change & it affected his scores in a HUGE way.  After lots of extra practice & extra meeting times with a coach, we have finally figured out what the problem was & are back to going forward again!!!!!

Stamps: Sun Ripened 2
C/S: white, red
DP: SU! Garden Green
oval nestabilities, copics, twine, brads, Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder
