TAWS #45


Over at TAWS they have this amazing inspiration photo -




 I was mulling over what to make for a couple of days and finally go to finish my card:



I recently ordered a whole bunch of stamp sets - couldn't resist the discount and got this adorable castle as a freebie! TAWS has the best deals out there - they are so generous!




The sentiment is a combo from two sets - Jibber Jabber and Enchanted. I stamped it with Staz-on onto that cool gold covered paper. This paper was an amazing deal I got from Michaels - $4 for a 24 sheets of different metallic papers - it was one of their Christmas paper pads. It came in so handy for this challenge! I am such a bargain shopper....

Of course I am also linking this up with the Seize the Birthday - Anything Birthday
and the Snippets Playground - the castle is from left over card stock

I went after-Christmas-sale to HobbyLobby & found some cute glittered ornament shaped tags and already started my next year's cards--I'll use one for our Christmas in July challenge--easy!

This is such a fun card. I would have had trouble in using this digi castle, but you have aced it so well. It's wonderful with that scrumptious gold textured paper. Lucky you at getting such a great buy. Guarantee you, it wouldn't happen at our local Mike's. They just don't keep stocked up. Well, I did get some Christmas stamps after the holidays, but while I was away. Loved your card. TFS & Hugs

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...
