Jingle All the Way

Happy First day of Fall! I know a Christmas card, right? Lol. This A1 Swish Card die set was in the September Jingle All the Way Card kit from The Stamps of Life. All the products used are from the kit except the adhesive sheet used on the Jingle All the Way die, but it's still a TSOL product. The twine is Candy Cane from  Annie's Paper Boutique or Trendy Twine. TFL and by the way, please let me know if you like my new background.

Plant Smiles

 

I made this card using the sketch above from Fusion Card Challenge Front Porch. I fused the picture with the sketch or drew from the colors in the picture and followed the sketch. I'm also sending this card as a Use Your Scraps swap. The stamp set I used is Close To My Heart D1306 Treasure Life and is most likely no longer for sale as I believe it is an old stamp set. I used My Favorite Things Extremely Black Ink, Close To My Heart Blue Belle Ink, Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Distress Ink, Stampin' Up Highland Heather Ink, and Archival Jet Black Ink on all the stamps.The white, blue, green, and card base are all from The Stamps of Life and all but the card base is scraps. I cut the gray strip and the sentiment mat out of my scraps pile and not sure what manufacturer it's from. The sequins are 2 sets- Fancy Pants and Sweet Water from Spiegel Mom Scraps and I glued them down with Tombow Aqua Mono Liquid Glue. I used AdTech Crafter's Tape Glue Runner and my Xyron 1.5" Create A Sticker Maker to adhere everything else. I wanted to color in the flowers and then realized there wasn't anything to color. TFL and Happy Friday!

Dream Big

 

I made this layout following the sketch from Stick It Down for September Single Page Sketch challenge. The 2 patterned papers are from Heidi Swapp Sun Chaser Collection kit. The main page is the opposite side of Sweet Thing and the bigger side of the layout is Sunburst. I just flipped the sketch. The stickers are from a recent great outdoors tag swap with a group I'm with on Facebook. The pictures were taken downtown New Bern, where I live, by DoubleTree Hotel. I included a picture of the bottom of the totem to show that is made as a memorial for a woman who died in 2007. I personally don't know the woman, but thought the flowers around the Extraterrestrial Totem are very pretty. The sequins are from The Stamps of Life Hibiscus Blooms and I glued them down with Tombow Aqua Mono Liquid Glue. The title- Dream Big is from Reminsce Quote Book Die Cut Stickers. The photo mat is also cardstock from Stamps of Life. Have a great weekend and TFL!
