Making S'more Memories


Today I am playing along with Sketch Saturday Challenge #610. I thought this sketch was perfect for what I had in mind for an anniversary card for my husband. We are both getting closer to retirement and are planning to spend a lot more time traveling in our motor home, so I wanted to do something related to RV-ing. The stamped images are from My Favorite Things. I colored with Copic sketch markers.

Here's the fabulous sketch:




And here is my card:

Every time a bell rings...

...an angel gets his wings. 

Playing along with the Jingle Belles challenge, to make a card featuring at least one bell. I was happy to find a bell sticker and some coordinating ornament stickers in my Christmas stash. Scraps of paper, a little stitching, a Joy sentiment and always always foam tape. Easy peasy.

No Special Reason

This weekend I had the chance to play with the Sketch #434 from Freshly Made Sketches. I liked it so much I ended up making 5 cards with a few variations.

Here's Linda's sketch:




And here's the first card I made using the sketch and various bits of paper, some stamped and some just die cut:



The stamp and coordinating die set are a retired Stampin' Up set called Special Reason. I've had it for a while but haven't used it until now.

I'm going to make enough to send to a bunch of friends to let them know I'm thinking of them and missing them.

Peace

Today I had a chance to play along with the Jingle Belles sketch challenge. I stamped the reindeer and the "peace sentiment: using the Altenew Festive Silhouettes stamp & die combo. The holly is from a Tim Holtz die and the papers are all random scraps. 


Here's the sketch:





Here's my card:
