Muse #94 combined with Inkspirational

Finally I found some crafting time again! I was missing my daily evening card making sessions.... but last night I could retreat to my card making room upstairs and make some cards. The one that I am showing here I made for the  Muse challenge and combining it with Inkspirational, where the theme is Christmas with the optional twist of no red or green. 

Marion Vagg designed such a gorgeous card for the Muse challenge, but its actually not easy to CASE - at least for me...


Since
Christmas is nearing I wanted to make a Christmas card - never can have too many of those.... the stamps are Hero Arts. The joy die is by Papertrey. Added little beads on silver string


I am not totally happy with my card - I guess I am a little rusty....
I am also linking this card with Christmas Stamping all Year round - anything Christmas


               

Glad to be back in blogland!
Thanks for visiting me!

This is fantastic. Love those ornaments, and how you have stamped them in that wonderful overlapping pattern. The 'joy' sentiment is perfect, and I love your little hanging beads are a wonderful touch.

manch mal hat einem ein kleines krea"tief" aber darum bist du sicherlich noch nicht eingerostet *gg
Ich finde deine Karte toll, nur das die Ornament sich überlappen stört mich ein wenig ... vllt. auch das was dir nicht gefällt ???
LG hellerlittle

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

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) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
