     I created this sweet card for Sweet November Stamp‘s monthly FB challenge. After printing and coloring the Fairwee Junie digi, I trimmed her from the cardstock, gently clipping off her wings. I traced the wings onto scraps of vellum, adding some length to the “insides” of the wings, which allowed me to easily tape them to Junie’s back. A scrap of red vellum was fussy-cut into the heart-shaped steam atop the coffee cup.

     I’m entering this card into several challenges including Time Out: Pick Two (my card features three of the six options- Heart-Lots of them. Layer-several of them, and Warm- red and pink are warm colors, plus a warm cup of coffee, complete with “steam”) 

  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Sweet November Stamps (Fairwee Junie)

·   Coffee Cup-clear stamp from a Stampin’ Up set (retired)

·   Heart-shaped steam atop coffee made with a scrap of red vellum

     I made this card for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Challenge (using its required January sketch). It features a free sheet music digi and a Dancin’ Santas Scrapbook border. I embellished the card front with two items fussy-cut from the border: one Santa (the leader of the dance line holding a candy cane) and one Santa hat perched on the first letter in the song title! I used a strip of the border to embellish the inside of the card... wrapping it with fun! 

Supplies: 

·   Sheet Music- Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree found HERE

·   Inside sentiment- scrapbook supplies booklet from Hobby Lobby

·   Dancin’ Santas border- from my scrapbook stash

·   Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.

·   All other misc. items and tools from my stash.

    This final card features a beautiful Moondrea Designs digi named Carnations, which was provided free to participants of their monthly Progressive FB Challenge. I have always loved pink carnations, so decided to use a pastel color scheme. Although you can’t see it in the photo, my card also has lots of sparkles from clear glitter swirls on the background of the card front (upcycled from an old wedding card), and from a “Wink of Stella” marker that adds sheen to the sheer section and lacy accents of the beauty’s blouse.  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Moondrea Designs Digi (Carnations)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments from  Polka Dot Orchard Digi Set  (Younger Than Tomorrow)

·   ZIG Wink of Stella clear glitter brush marker

·   All other misc. items and tools from my stash.
