Stampin' In Alaska

I recently downloaded this adorable freebie from Mo over on Paper Craft Planet. This little card is for this week's challenge over at Mo's Digital Challenge Blog. This is my very first, but not last, time coloring one of Mo's digital images. I felt like a kid again playing with my box of crayons. Of course, now I get to play with my box of Copic markers! This is also my first submission for Mo's sketch challenge. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Supplies: Stampin' Up! Red Riding Hood Cardstock and October Afternoon dp Martha Stewart Border Punch Miscellaneous buttons Nestibilities and Cuttlebug Copic Markers Stickles

This month's A Muse challenge is called *A Perfect 10*!! We were challenged to use items on our card that adds up to 10. Well, here's my math: cardstock 2 punches 3 stamps sequins 2 fish copic marker =10 I've used A Muse Snorkel Boy on this card. I guess I'm getting ready for some beach fun!

Want this badge? Cora Harkins generously posts TWO FREE digital images each Tuesday. This week she shared to retro vintage images HERE . I have created my project with Cora's vintage image as part of the Craft Secrets Challenge over on the Paper Craft Planet website. Darlene challenged us to create a project with the theme of "Thankful" for the month of November. Although not a traditional Thanksgiving card, I was happy with how this came together. I recently visited family in Missouri and got to go to some Flea Markets and found some great vintage lace. I combined the Digital Two for Tuesday image with Crafty Secrets "Thanksgiving" and "Kitchen Classic" clear stamp sets. Thanksgiving to me is family, great food and being Thankful for what we have been provided. Supplies Used: Stampin' Up!

I couldn't resist posting another Thanksgiving creation for the Gingersnap Creations Blog Color Challenge . The challenge colors are: Orange, Green and Brown. The cornucopia image is "So Grateful" GinaK designs. It was colored with Copic markers and sponged for some background color. I have been trying so hard to create individual Thanksgiving cards for my family and friends this year. It has been a personal challenge and has really helped to stretch my creative bounds.

I visited the Mojo Monday blog and found their fun sketch for this week. I thought it would be fun to play along. I combined it with the Potluck Friday challenge over on the Gina K Stamptv website. I played for the first time with Nestibilities Labels Nine. It really adds a fun shape to the project! The image is "Basket of Happiness" by Gina K. It has been colored with Stampin' Up! Stampin' Pastels. Designer Papers are Basic Grey Lily Kate. Cardstock is also Stampin' Up!

Over on the Gingersnap Creations blog we were challenged to use Brads . I used Kim Hughes' fun set "Winter Trees" by Cornish Heritage Farms for this challenge. The snowflake brads worked perfectly to finish off my winter themed card. The igloo and penguin images were both embossed with Close to My Heart black embossing powder. Supplies used: Stampin' Up! Always Artichoke, Sky Blue, Whisper White and Wintergreen designer paper (retired) Marvy round punch and Nestibilities scalloped circle Close to My Heart Black emboss powder Cuttlebug snowflake emboss folder Copic markers and snowflake brads
