Snowy Bench

My Christmas cards have been done since October! However, with Christmas on my mind I made a new one for the challenge over at freshlymadesketches 
The card is just the white part I put it on a piece of red just for the photo. Speaking of photo, it does the bench picture no justice!! I tried to get a close up but the light kept showing ugh the glitter is so, so pretty!
The sketch this week:





I guess I failed again this week lol I did more of a square than rectangle. That's ok it got me in my room and it has been a couple of days. 

I hope you all have your December plans under control ... if you do I'd love to know your secret!!! So much going on this month!!

Until next week,
~S

Paper paper paper

 I sadly missed last week somehow. I managed to get a card made when it was my kids weddings but this past week I don't even know, just didn't happen somehow.
So I'm back at it this week!!

Sketch for this week at freshlymadesketches is :
   

So I tried stamping with distressed ink ... I'd say fail but I think if I practice it might work out and I'd have a lot more color options!!
 I used foil for the stripe on the right.




These are some of the other things I've made this week!! 


Candy Christmas train!! Just need to add the candy! This is my version from MixedUpCraft on YouTube. I LOVE her tutorials and while this isn't as fancy/nice as hers I'm just proud of myself for making it!!



This one I made to send to my son's best friend. I have a photo of him holding her daughter eating a Kit Kat that was just too cute I had to mail it to her in TN.



This is a terrible photo but I took a quick picture to show a friend, ok ask her opinion lol, but then sent it out and never took a decent picture. I sent this to my Aunt with some wedding pictures in it!!

I also made a birthday card for husband! I'll share that next week!

Ok I guess that's all ...I think this is my longest post yet hope you made it to the bottom :) 

Until next week,

Merry Christmas in October!
I finished my Christmas cards today all that's left to do is sign them and address them annnnnd actually get them in the mail box in December!
As far as I know I came up with this card myself I didn't copy anything except I saw the three score lines on a card somewhere one day. 

Overhead view of all of them

Back of the card

I thought they came out kind of cute! The little ornament dangles on some clear thread from his antler! Different designs on the moose using up paper I had!
It was the first time I've used foiling. I attached it on the front of the card.

Tip: if you have a heat press it works great! 300° heavy pressure about 5 seconds.

Until next time,
