Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #196


Quickly headed towards the end of January and my little man's birthday!  Time goes way too quickly.  Just saying.

Fun sketch this week from AHSC.  I wasn't sure what to do with it at first but as I dug through my stash I decided to finally play with the Jeepers Creepers Paper Packet and the Monstrous Halloween Thin Cuts Bundle both of which technically retired with the Holiday Expressions book at the end December but I noticed are still available on my shopping website under "Going Soon",  when is soon??  I'm not sure when they will be taken off the website so if you have been thinking about it now is the time to shop!

Inks - Willow, Lemon, Pansy, Tangerine, and Lagoon
Shimmer Trim - Blue, Purple, Green, and Teal
Cardstock - Carnary and White Daisy 

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.  I hope I have inspired you to come play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

Happy Crafting!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #225

Recently I had a Facebook conversation with a lovely lady about card making, etc. and we were discussing Christmas cards... my response was "it's never to early to start creating Christmas cards!" and in celebration of that fact I present to you my first Christmas Card for 2017.  I actually got the idea for this card way back in March when I got my first sneak peak of the Jack Paper Collection and then I saw the bear in the Jack - Cardmaking Stamp and Thin Cuts.

While I used the design for inspiration you can see that the design change slightly to accommodate my elements. I initially was going to have the Bear and tree on a background square like the sketch but it made it too heavy and distracted the eye, so instead I made my angled cross piece heavier and used White Glitter Paper to create some snow.  
I carefully ripped the glitter paper to create the uneven edge of my snow…
