Christmas Banners

Hello my Crafty Friends,

Happy Wednesday!  It is bright and cold here in North Texas.  The North wind has been blowing for two days now.  Maybe tomorrow I will have a chance to acclimate a bit more.  Monday night our temperature dropped more than 30 degrees.  It was quite a shock.  Normally we get a few days to acclimate, but not this year.  Well, let's get on to the creativity!

I used a sketch from Operation Write Home (it will be shown below).  I really liked the sketch and combined it with a Red and White challenge.

I think it turned out really well.

AIS Linky Party #21 - Stripes

Happy Thursday,

So have you had snow, ice, rain or all three in the last week?  Well the ice is still here in my yard and still continuing to thaw.  I think it will all be gone after today.  It was beautiful, but a mess for driving.

Welcome to another week at An Inky Situation.  This is Linky Party #21 and we are working with STRIPES this week.  Join in on the fun and post a project at An Inky Situation.

Here are my stripes for this week's offering:

This was a fun challenge for me.  It went very quickly.  Didn't hurt that I was playing around with some new 'toys'.

Stampin' Up! products used:
Cardstock:  Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler

Ink:  Old Olive Stampin' Pad

Shop with me HERE!

Non-Stampin' Up! products used:
Adhesives:  ATG and Ultra Thin Glue Dots

I am loving working with the Stampin' Dimensionals.  I have used many different types of foam dimensional products.  Some are too tall and you worry about them going through the mail, some are too small and you have to use a ton of them.  In the past I preferred to work with foam tape because I got dimension on my cards without all of the BULK.  Well, I think I am LOVING Stampin' Dimensionals even more because of the versatility of these small adhesive wonders.  If you haven't worked with them I urge you to get some and try them out.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Crafting,
Belinda

It's a Color Challenge - AIS #20

Happy Thursday,

It is starting to feel like Christmas around here.  The temperature will be dropping throughout the day.  There may be ice involved for the morning commute on Friday.  Too much fun for the weekend.

With cold blustery weather outside it is a great time to busy ourselves with crafty projects.  Join us this week at An Inky Situation.  This week is a color challenge.  Use Cherry Cobbler  as your main color for your project this week.  Here is my version of the challenge.



I had a great time working with this challenge.  I had new toys (stamps, ink and paper) to play with this week.  It was a hard decision as to what to create first.
