Hello stamping friends!!
Have you seen Journey 2 The Mysterious Island movie yet? It is really cute. We went to see it on Monday with a friend. The kids loved it. It was a little scarier than the movies they are used to, but they did great. So far no nightmares about dinosaur sized lizards or bees!! LOL
Ok...onto crafty goodness...
In an attempt to find more time in my week to get my tax preparations done, I had to combine two of my challenges this week. Of course it's going to take more than combining two challenges to get my taxes done, but at least it's a start.
I have combined the High Hopes Sketch Challenge with the ABC Christmas "Distressing" challenge.
Edited:
This card made the Top 3 at Tuesday Throwdown! :-)
To participate in the High Hopes Challenges, you must create a card using this sketch...
And you MUST use a High Hopes stamp.
The prize is 1 free High Hopes Stamp. Enter the challenge here.
The ABC Christmas Challenge is: D is for Distressing
We are sponsored by: Sweet Stamps and Karen's Doodles. See the challenge post for details.
Here is my combo card...
The stamp is the adorable Christmas Kitty Fun. The papers are Bo Bunny Snowfall (all papers on sale this week at Stamp and Create). I also used Starlight Lace DooHickey from Magnolia, pearls, Cream Trim and Liquid Applique.
The image was stamped in SU Basic Brown onto watercolor paper and roughly watercolored with Twinkling H2Os (along with some paper-piecing)...
Now it's your turn!
You can enter the High Hopes Challenge here and ABC Christmas Challenge here.
This card is also for the following challenges:
Die Cuttin' Divas: Favorite Pet
Papertake Weekly: Get Krafty (use Kraft)
Tuesday Throwdown: Winter Blues (use Blue)
Lollipop Crafts: Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!
