Catching Up....well sort of....

Happy Friday to everyone.  I do hope this day brings happiness in your world.  In July I posted a Holiday card on Sparkles Christmas Challenge and I loved how simple the layout was.  I thought how fun it would be to make more, but not just for Christmas.  Here's what I made.

and here is the inside

This card I'm leaving with no sentiment.  Why?  Because I don't want to cover the umbrella. 

You say what umbrella......do you see it now?  And here's the inside....

Here's another blank card.  I wanted to have this on hand so I could add a sentiment when needed.  

I used the same embossing folder on all of the cards.  I was surprised at how embossing the paper changed it.  And another inside.....

I couldn't stop without making another Christmas Card.....

and the inside

I wrote instructions for the card I shared with the Sparkles Christmas Challenge.  If you'd like a pdf file I'd gladly email one to you.  The cut sizes will make it easy for you to use with any papers.  I'm leaving on vacation on Friday, so email me and I'll get one out before then.  Otherwise, I'll be back early September and I'll send copies then.  Here's the card I shared on the Sparkles Christmas Challenge.  

Until next time......

Happy Crafting and Hugs from Me to You.....

Sparkles Christmas Challenge #67

This month's challenge.....Create a card with a shape.  Here's my card.....

This month's challenge came to us by Helen N.  Thanks Helen, this was a fun card to create.  I'd been thinking about what to make for a few weeks.  This morning it came together quickly.  As you probably have guessed, I love vintage cards.  I have a sheet of Santa Graphics and this one fit the card perfectly.  I did a lot of border punching and added the punched borders pretty much everywhere.  The photo doesn't show the gold very well, but I added touches of gold to the punched borders.  The sentiment was added and the front of this card is complete.

This month's sponsor is Marianne Design.  And if you want to know about what you could win... hop on over to Sparkles Christmas Challenge   You'll find the rules for entry and learn more about the exciting prize.  

Here's what the inside of my card looks like.  I do like this sentiment.....

I'm off for the Monday Play Day with the girls.  Maybe I'll get something done and I can post it later. I say maybe because on girls play day there is a lot of laughing, a little eating, and then if there is time, we will actually work on projects!  I'll bet it sounds a lot like play days in your neighborhood.  

Off I go, have a wonderfully crafty week and we'll catch up later,

Hug,
