My Crafty Weekend

A beautiful sunny weekend in Southern California, and I had some time to play in my craft room.

First up is a card I made for the Dog's Life challenge at Simon Says Monday Challenge and the color challenge at Just Add Ink #382.  I die cut the dog that looked most like my friend's lab in black, grey and Autumn Rose and arranged them randomly on my card front.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Lucky Dog and the dies are Impression Obsession.

Next up is a card using Word Ribbon and the Funky Square Tag Die from CAS-ual Fridays.  I am playing along in their CFC#185: Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness.  I love this awesome quote, and how it can be used for more occasions than breast cancer awareness.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #264: CAS.

Even though the colors at Just Us Girls #416 said Halloween to me, I challenged myself to make a birthday card, since that is what I needed more.  I am also entering this at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.

I fell in love with the roses in Altenew Bamboo Roses, and used them with my copic markers to make a get well card, which I am entering at CAS on Friday #119 to make a card with flowers on it.

And, finally, I need to start making some holiday cards, so here are two of them.  First up is a card using the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #244.

And, lastly a card using the colors from CAS Colour and Sketches #245.  I used String of Lights dies from Lawn Fawn.

My Crafty Week

Here are some pictures of what I've been working on this week.

A huge thank you to my bestie Kim, who sent me a million die cuts for my new MFT Polar Bear Stamps.  I used one of the bears on this card, inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #265.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.

One more card with those adorable polar bears...this one inspired by the sketch at Case This Sketch #200, which I flipped.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #222: Make Your Mark.

My next card was inspired by this beauty of Leigh's.  I stamped a city scene for the Male Room #49 where the challenge is ???? Scapes and I decided to stamp a city scape.  

I used a spotlight technique, and colored everything that is part of the die cut Christmas tree green. I left the rest of the buildings grey.  Here is a better view of the dimension of the Christmas Tree.

I am entering this card at Just Us Girls #372: Christmas Tree, Simon Says Monday O' Christmas Tree, and AAA Cards #79 Christmas.

One more holiday card from me--this one using these really fun holiday light dies from Lawn Fawn.  I used colors from CAS Colours and Sketches #202:  Seasonal Colors.  I chose the color scheme from challenge #189.  Can you see all the shimmer on those lights from Wink of Stella?  I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #123: CAS with Sparkle and CAS on Sunday #97: Christmas.

The last thing I made this week is a card set for my neice who is studying to become a teacher.  I am entering this set at Less is More #305, where the challenge is to use primary colors.  There are 8 flat cards with matching envelopes.
