A Glittery Christmas card

I used the 2nd sketch for the month #158 at  "SKETCH N SCRAP"  for this card, it was fun
to make, totally different than any card I have made before.

Plus with the snowman and tree embellishment on my card I want to enter this card also at
"CRAZY HAZELNUTS CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE"

Challenge 464:

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

optional theme: use some glitter

Christmas Card

Slowly getting some Christmas cards made.    I turned to  "SKETCH N SCRAP"   to find a sketch
and their first card sketch #157 was perfect to work with.

I used a couple of patterned papers from a 6x6 stack and inked the edges and the edge of the card with green ink.   Then I colored in the gift box on my sentiment stamp and matted it with green
card stock with some red ink on it.   Viola I have a completed card.

Cheers

I'm entering this layout at  "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"   the theme this month is Friends.
In all honesty my very very best friends I have always had is my family.    Besides just time together visiting at each others houses.   We LOVE taking trips together, abroad and road trips in the states.
The pictures in this picture is when my daughter was studying at Oxford and my husband, my Dad, my brother and my nephew all went together to London to visit her and spend about 8 days traveling, we had a couple nights in London, a couple in Oxford and then 3 nights in Amsterdam and we also
rented a car one day and went to Stonehenge.    No matter where we are or what we are doing we
are having fun.

I had scrapped all these trips for albums for myself but the last month I've been putting together an album of our trips for my album and featuring mostly pictures where she is in them.  I'm the one
lower left in the selfie with her and then top right in the middle between her and my hubby.

Here is the link to the November challenge at  "CHALLENGE YOURSELF"

You can interpret the theme any way you like, but  please remember to include a photo with YOU (and your friends!!) on your page!

Turkey Card

I used my stash on this card for my Granddaughter.    I used a piece of scrap paper,  the scalloped edge is the reverse side of the brown polka dot background paper.    I have had this  felt turkey in
my stash for years and I thought it was perfect to use for this card because it would feel good for
my Elle to be able to touch and feel the turkey.

State Capitol

I"m finishing up a travel album for my daughter for Christmas of all the family trips we have taken over the 12 or so years.    This was one of our latest road trips when we spent 8 days in the midwest in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.   Madison, WI was one of our stops.

I did this with the Pick Your Side Sketch Challenge at  "SCRAP OUR STASH"
I chose the right side of the sketch and included a scalloped circle under my picture as part of the sketch and requirement.    Here is the sketch and link to  "SCRAP OUR STASH"

One Big Pumpkin Cat

We had so much fun the day we went to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO for their Fall Festival.
They had a lot of new things this year and we loved seeing it all.    Since we have 5 cats we both made sure we got our picture taken by the giant pumpkin cat.   The I took several pictures of the cat themed individual pumpkins,   these were some of my favorite that turned out well.

This will be my Guest Design layout for this week at  "LASTING MEMORIES"   the prompt this week is to use plaid on your project and used the green fall plaid on my layout.

Check out this weeks challenge here at  "LASTING MEMORIES" and every fun week during the month.

Texas Skyway

Here is my take on this weeks Sketch at   "SKETCHES IN THYME"     I decided to go with
gradient tones to use with this sketch, which is usually out of my comfort box but I thought it
worked out great.
