Snowy Birthday

I've combined two challenges over at Splitcoast for today's card.  First up, I used the Ways to Use it Challenge which was to create a birthday card for the host, Michelle, using our favorite things.  Well.......based on the picture below, can you guess what one of my favorite things is???

And that's only a small portion of the snowmen that I have in my house right now!  So, it should be no surprise that my card turned out like this.....

I also incorporated the sketch challenge from Splitcoast for this week too.

Card details:

Stamps - Snow Folks (PAS)

Cardstock - SU, BG

Accessories - nesties, embossing folder, snowflakes, ribbon, copics

Musing over Mailboxes

Like you, I've seen many an altered mailbox all over the stamping sites.  I've scoured local Target stores in vain........until this past weekend!!!  I think my DH is now convinced I'm nuts when I let out a little squeek when I finally came across them.

I pondered for a few days over what I should do with it, now that I hand it in my mitts.  Paper and Such is coming out with an adorable little Valentine's set called Bitty Love and *lightbulb moment* that was it!  Now which image.............  Again, I wanted to do something different, so I chose the rock, but.......I didn't just want any plain old coloring.  More pondering and it hit me!  Polished Stone technique!  HA!

Now I will admit that it didn't turn out quite as good as I saw it in my head, but for my first one, I think I did pretty darn good!  I would love to hear your comments and maybe have you link ones that you've created.

Project details:

Stamps - Bitty Love - PAS

Accessories - rhinestones, ribbon, dsp and LOTS of Modge Podge

More Wild Roses

I just LOVE this new Wild Rose set from Paper and Such - available on the 9th.  Below is a card done with the 2-step stamping technique.  I chose SU's Melon Mambo ink, stamped "off" on scrap paper first and then on my cardstock.  I overlapped that with the main image in black and just colored in the leaves.  VOILA - easy card!  I took my inspiration this time around from the current Featured Stamper gallery over at SCS.
