Peace-Hope-Joy - Merry Monday #100, The Challenge #2

Happy Tuesday afternoon!  I had a wee bit of time today to play with my 'rubber toys' today.  Not nearly as much time as yesterday unfortunately, but so it goes!  I played along at Merry Monday and with Lesley Croghan's 'The Challenge', which you can find on her blog, Always Playing With Paper.  I like the idea of making Christmas cards all year long, and haven't used the Merry Minis set nearly like I should have!  It was perfect for The Challenge!  That's the main reason I didn't use the sketch from Merry Monday, although I did love it!

 

I used Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo and Naturals White for my card.  I dug out a VERY ANCIENT sentiment from a set called So Many Sayings.  It went perfectly with my images.  Using various punches helped speed up this card even more... really love that!

Seeyou tomorrow hopefully!  Thanks for visiting!

Warmest Wishes!

Good morning all!  I've got a quick card post for you today.  

Here's a card I made some time ago.  I used the scallop square punch on here to make it come together VERY quickly.  Love that you can use a card like this to get rid of some of your scraps!

Here it is!

For the base of the card I used Garden Green.  After punching out some co-ordinating scraps with the scallop square punch, I stamped, fussy cut and layered the flower from the retired hostess set, Apple Blossoms.  A few buttons tied with hemp twine and a flag greeting finishes off the card perfectly!  Easy, done!

Ahem, some fussy cutting on this one!  Not my favourite activity!  Cute card nonetheless!

From Me To You

 This is a really fun card to make.  I used the (VERY old) So Many Sayings stamp set, which I had carefully cut all the sayings apart on, and had my husband cut the wood blocks into separate strips as well, and, the Good Neighbour stamp set from Sale-a-bration a few years ago!  A little sponging for the grass and the sky and you're good to go!
