Great Week!

I just enjoyed a great week with my little sister and nephew. They came down from Chicago to visit. The kids enjoyed spending time with their auntie and cousin. Of course, I didn't do any crafty while she was here visiting. But I did do a few cards before she had arrived and just never got around to posting. Enjoy!

Here are two Christmas cards I did for the Christmas in July challenge over at SCS.


Paper: SU! Cardstock (Garden Green & Whisper White), SU! Patterns Pack II (Hostess Gift)
Accessories: Heidi Swapp bling, Stickles (Xmas Red), Misc. Ribbon

Having fun...

making cards this week! The rain has kept me indoors so I have taken advantage and worked on some cards. Got lots of birthday coming up so gotta be prepared! Both were done for challenges over at SCS.

This first card was for a challenge to create a Clean & Simple Birthday card. Of course, I pulled out my Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set for this one! One of my favorite SU! sets.


Inks: SU! Classic Ink (Basic Brown, Pretty in Pink, Pumpkin Pie), SU! Stampin' Pastels
Accessories: May Arts Ribbon, Stickles

This next card was for this week's SCS sketch challenge. I really like this sketch and know I'll be using it again!



Stamp Set: Verve Because of You, SU! Sentimientos de Dulzura (Retired)
Inks: SU! Classic Ink (Bravo Burgundy, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty in Pink), SU! Markers (Old Olive, Regal Rose)

Don't know how much more creating I'll be getting done these next few days...my sister is coming to visit! So excited!!!

BTW...here's a look at the stamp set I used on my first card. Isn't it cute?!



Enjoy the rest of your week! God Bless!
