My Crafty Weekend

 


This is my second post today.  If you are looking for my 25 Days of of Christmas Tags post, please click here.


I had some crafty time to play this weekend, and here is what I made.  First up is two of my animal friends sharing a hot and cozy cup of cocoa.  I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #459, Shopping Our Stash #432: Hot Drinks, Color Throwdown #617, AAA Cards #177: Maxi White Space, Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Movie Inspired (Rudolph), Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes, and Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #172: Faux (embossing paste snow).





Next up is this brightly colored card made with a balloon stencil and a word die cut both from MFT.  I was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #396, the challenge at Just Us Girls #560: Word Die Cuts, this month's Birthday Project challenge at MFT (balloons), Seize the Birthday #202: Texture, WWC295: Occasions, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.








I created this snowy blended sky using Distress Oxide inks and a liberal smattering of Perfect Pearls, and then added this Hilly Neighborhood from Mama Elephant.  I am entering this card at Inkspirational #225: Night, CAS on Friday #192: Christmas, WWC295: Occasions, Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Movie Inspired (White Christmas).







Last up for today are some playful Gnomes from Mama Elephant hanging around their mushroom house.  I am entering this card at Color Throwdown #617,  Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Movie Inspired (Sherlock Gnomes-2018).






Thanks for Visiting
