Guest Designer for Christmas Kickstart

Hi Everyone,

I have the great honor to be Guest Designer for this month at the Christmas Kickstart challenge and it's a fabulous theme - rainbow Christmas! I think you all know how much I love colors, so this is just up my alley!


For this card I used the pretty Christmas tree from Crackerbox Stamps and my favorite Christmas sentiment from them. Stamped in rainbow colors (Catherine Pooler inks) using my Misti, to get all those trees straight and lined up properly. Masked the trees and lightly sponged them in the same colors. Added the star (Memory Box)

 Stayed pretty CAS here - overall my favorite thing to do. It's quick and easy and often it doesn't need much to look good.

 I hope you  like it as much as I do and I inspired you to play along - after all, Christmas is coming again, sooner than you might think. LOL!

What a fun theme and such a creative way to show the rainbow colors. I saw this on Christmas Kickstart and had to come over to check it out.

Easter Egg and Bunny

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.
