SC 94 - Really cool way to make a card.

So I had a great mail day yesterday. I got this most adorable card from Teresa and a little mini card, for Hallowe'en, in the same envelope. The card is what I want to focus on here though. She used the layout from SC94 and it just looked so darling, I was inkspired to make one of my own for my DDSS for round 6. I have been a slacker DDSS, so I am trying to do better. I just find it so hard to use only SU supplies for it. Anyway, I digress . . .

This card uses the "Blue Frost" spectrum pad from SU (which in case you were wondering, does not look all that nice when you accidentally drop it face down on your laptop keyboard.) I also used the SU hostess set "Warmest Regards" which I am currently in love with, and "All Through the Year" which is seriously so versatile. Oh, and cannot forget the "Canvas" background stamp. You will definitely have to take a look at the Sketch Challenge page to see how it opens and stuff. I used two way glue pen and dazzling diamonds on the snowflakes and eyelets in the center because ever since I bought the silent setter from ProvoCraft, I have no reason not too -- it is glorious. I really am happy with how this one turned out and I really hope that my DDSS likes it.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
