Hello.  I have 2 cards that I am entering into several challenges.  My first card uses the Camouflaging Die Cuts technique in this week's Make it Monday #193.  I am submitting this card at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes, Simon Says Wednesday Winter, Virginia's View All Things Distressed, and Merry Monday--Winter Theme.  I am also linking it up at CASology as a little extra inspiration for this week's cue word:  SNOW.








My next card uses the sketch at RetroSketches #145, and I am also linking up at Addicted to CAS where the code word is FAMILY--my family here is a mama and baby bird, Addicted to Stamps #126 Anything Goes, Simon Says Monday Anything Goes, Simon Says Wednesday Winter, Virginia's View All Things Distressed and Merry Monday--Winter Theme.




A lot of challenges for just two cards.  It does seem like many of the challenge topics overlap, being so close to Christmas.


Thanks for Visiting

  21. It took me awhile to figure out what was up with the camouflaged die cut (like my brain refused to registered what 'camouflaged' meant), NOW that I get it, I GET IT. Very cool! The family card is quite nifty too, only I think that is a father and son bird because the female cardinals aren't that bright red. Besides I like the idea of father and son hanging out together.
