Blue Lights Christmas card

My sister wanted cards with blue Christmas lights to give to our friends who are police officers and fire fighters. So, late last Wednesday night, on our way home from a book reading (great book about her God Mothers' parents in 1890 - My Darling Anna) we got this idea. I called my friend Stamp Katie to see if she had a Christmas light or a string of lights stamps. She was sure she didn't, so when Julie and I got to my house, I dug out the tub of my holiday stamps. Well, lo and behold, I had a rubber backed stamp of Christmas lights - so here is one of the cards I made for her.

Stamp Something's Winter Wonderland Somethings

At Stamp Something's challenge blog, it was Winter Wonderland. I am loving this penguin stamp from the set Penguin Love from There She Goes. I paired him with the juggling snowballs and then used the Moonstruck and Crystal Blue papers from CTMH along with my Nestabilites. I then grabbed the stripe from the DCWV Holiday Christmas stack. I had these little snowflakes (by Favorite Findings- I think I got them at Joann's to use on my nephews' Christmas stockings) so I added them with some lightly wired white ribbon. I have 13 personal Christmas cards done so far (the 37 business ones are done and mailed) so I need to get busy getting more done and sending them out this week.

There She Goes TSG32 - Tags

This weeks challenge on the There She Goes Blog was to make a tag. So, I made three, using the set Penguin Love. I used the Santa penguin and then the little penguin and the juggling snowballs.

Glitzy Somethings

At Stamp Something's blog
the challenge was Glitzy Somethings. SO, I decided to use a stamp set from Close To My Heart called New Fallen Snow that I embossed in glitter ep and then used Moonstruck ink and sponged it on the snowflake. I cut it out and layered it. I used some rhinestones from my stash. I am sorry this is so quick but I got ran into by my kid on her Trials Bike Friday night and have a huge ly swollen knee - It was an accident and I just have to learn to leap out of the way quicker!!

Clearly Inspired Challenge CIC3

Today's challenge at Clearly I Stamp was a theme of Winter. That was easy for me as I have been doing a few cards between the lawnmower cards. I love this little guy, he is so cute, just sliding down the hill!! He is from the set called Just Chillin' at Clear Dollar Stamps. I used some green and hollyhock paper from CTMH along with Hollyhock ricrak!

There She Goes TSG31 Color Challenge

This weeks challenge on the There She Goes blog was a color challenge. We were to use red, green and blue. I grabbed one of the newest sets from There She Goes, Penguin Love and inked up some stamps. I used olive, crystal blue and star spangled blue inks along with a sweet leaf marker to color my trees and igloo and penguin. I added some colors of papers to match and then found this little piece of ribbon to add to it. I used icicle stickles for the snow on the igloo.
