WCMD- Simple krafty snowman

And this was my final (albeit a few days later) WCMD card.  The challenge was to color- definitely something I do a lot of.




Challenges:
Studio Calico WCMD #4: Coloring

The Kraft Journal #193: No patterned paper
The Paper Girls #65: Solid cardstock

WCMD- Starry night Christmas

The challenge was a simple "Christmas card" theme.  I love this stamp (and I'd love to tell you who made it but I haven't a clue) but have struggled to use it a bit.  I decided that it might be kind of neat to make the sky recede a bit more by cutting it out and popping the scene up.  The only thing I'd do different is to add a bit of sparkle to the snow hills. Though it's a bit hard to see in these photos, the paper has a slight silver sparkle to it.  Again, no idea who made it since I picked it up from a discount paper dealer at CKC the other year- NOTHING was labeled.  :)




Challenges:
Studio Calico WCMD #10: Christmas
Christmas Card Challenges #45: Layer it Up

WCMD- Simple twinkly Halloween card

The colors on this are a bit odd for Halloween but I wanted to color it all using my Twinkling H2Os so I had a limited palette. It may not be overly colorful but it certainly sparkles.  LOL!


Challenges:
Studio Calico #8: Watercolor

WCMD- Fall colored lanterns

This is it before I call it a night.  These may not be overly bright lanterns but I like the more muted quality and think it will be great for a masculine card.

Ingredients:
Paper: SU cardstock, Studio Calico print papers (Here + There)
Ink: Black Momento
Stamps: Lawn Fawn's Lunar Lights

Challenges:
SC WCMD #7

WCMD- Scrap Kit Hello

This one is definitely a bit out of my norm.  Challenge #6 over at Studio Calico is to use some of an SC kit on a card.  Honestly, I have one SC kit that I won back in 2012 and while I did make a 2pg spread from it, I really haven't found much else to do with it as the style of the kit just isn't what I usually work with.  It has a lot of butterflies, frames, wood and such.  However, I've been wanting to use it and worked well for this challenge, particularly with the Moxie Fab sketch challenge.



Ingredients: 
All from the April 2012 SC scrapbooking kit with the exception of the Mr. Huey's used on the tag

Challenges:

WCMD- Elephant birthday

Studio Calico's WCMD Challenge #3 was to use one of their digital files on a card.  I have a Silhouette.  I don't use it much.  I need to.  Badly.  I thought this might be a good kick in the tush to get me working with it again so I used the number strip that I found on SC's "sct_summer_2013_cutting_files." I believe it was a freebie they had up last year.


 

Paper: SU's Whisper White & Ballet Blue cardstock

Misc: Twine- The Twinery or Whisker Graphics

Challenges: SC WCMD #3: Use an SC digital file

Anniversary Invitations

Well, the invites went out.  A few days late but they went out.  Excuse the Fur-Lump in the 2nd photo.  You know how it goes.  No cat to be seen.  Put something on the floor, try to take a photo, a cat you can't remove from the scene no matter how hard you try.  In the end, you just let them in the photo.
