Christmas 2014 Recap!

Well, Christmas is technically over (although we do have a few more family and friends Christmas celebrations in the works this week) but I thought I'd share a little of our holiday home.  Better late than never, right?

Christmas Card Challenges #2: CAS

14 Dec

I had a lot of fun with this week's Christmas Card Challenge.  CAS cards don't always come easily to me but this one just worked.  I tend to want to add more and more to a card...which sometimes works but sometimes (REALLY) doesn't.  Anyway, I love this card.  It was super easy to put together and ...

22 Nov
www.allthesparkle.com

I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and restock some of my general cards. This is an easy card to mass-produce with endless color combination possibilities.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Drift die cut with double-sided sticky paper and  Glitter Ritz glitters.  The sentiment is ...

Tsuki no Usagi…or the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: To the Moon

21 Nov

I have a book of Japanese fairy tales and one of my favorite stories growing up was about tsuki no usagi.  To summarize, once upon a time the Old-Man-of-the-Moon looked down and saw a rabbit, a monkey, and a fox living together in a forest.  He wondered which of them was the kindest and decided to ...

Avery Elle I Heart You Challenge #18

20 Nov
Avery Elle AEIHeartUChallenge www.allthesparkle.com

After my super colorful card from earlier this week I wanted to do something a little more subdued.  I created this card with the Avery Elle I Heart You Challenge in mind.  Their theme this month was simply holiday cards and I thought this would be a great general holiday/winter card.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: We’re Seeing Stars

18 Nov
www.allthesparkle.com

I decided to make a shaker card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: We're Seeing Stars.  Unfortunately it didn't photograph very well but that's partly the cat's fault as you'll see later...   I used the Simon Says Stamp Stars Parade die and cut it twice, once from black ... View Post
