Jingle Belles combined with 52CCT #18

This is the week of combined challenges....52 CCT has shades of green as a theme and the Jingle Belles challenge is a sketch - see below.  




I made my onw banner paper - using Versamark and clear embossed it. The Christmas bauble is from Prickly Pear - which comes with a matching die. I popped it up with foam dots and "hung" it from a silver thread.


The dark green almost looks black in the photo - but its green - I swear! And since its a Christmas card I used some Stickles on the ornament. And since it fits the challenge I am also linking this up with the Sparkles Monthly challenge - monochromatic

Ich weiß nicht, wie es dir bei dieser Herausforderung ging, ...ich hatte schon daran zu knabbern!
Grün ist so gar nicht meine Farbe, ausser in der Natur aber beim Kartenbasteln komme ich nicht sehr gut damit zurecht.
Du hast eine sehr schöne Karte gestaltet und die Challenge perfekt gemeistert!

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
