ABC Christmas Challenge: T is for Transportation

Hello stamping friends!!

It's time for a new ABC Christmas Challenge:

T is for Transportation

(think sledding, skiing, skating, etc)

We are being sponsored this challenge by:

Sweet Stamp Store

******

You're going to see this card posted on my blog twice today. 

I had intended on doing a different card for this challenge, but didn't get to finish it yesterday. And then I ended up with a migraine today and only managed to get this card done. You will see it in another post for the High Hopes October Blog Hop tomorrow. But it also qualifies for this challenge so it saves me from trying to make a second card while having a migraine...

Today I'm using the image Skating Snowlady TT012 and Think Snow 2 HH006 Sentiment from the latest High Hopes Rubber Stamp Release.

The papers are from My Midn's Eye along with some Liquid Applique and Stickles glitter. 

As with most of my Christmas cards, I kept the card simple for easier and cheaper mailing at Christmas time. 

The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...

 Here's a picture of the card under the light so we can see the shimmer from the H2Os and the stickles...

Now it's your turn! The challenge runs through Tuesday, Oct 13th

Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!

High Hopes: Stumbling Snowman

Hello Stamping Fans!!

 

As a reminder, everything is on sale 25%-60% off the enter store at Stamp and Create!!

 

******
I live in Florida so it's usually still horribly hot this time of year. However, we recently had some cooler temperatures. By cooler, I mean mid-80's. Not exactly sweater weather but still nicer than sweating while just going out to get the kids from the bus stop!
But...whenever we get cooler, that usually means the rest of the world is freezing!
I hope that our cooler-than-normal temps we had earlier this week means that some of you are starting to feel some Fall temps.
Although I'm not quite ready for winter, I sure am ready for some Fall weather!!

It's time for another ABC Christmas Challenge:

S is for Silent

(No sentiment)

Also, for the High Hopes Challenge September Challenge today I am sharing another winter image from the Joys of the Seasons release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

There are soooo many cute ones to choose from.

This is Snowman Stumble-TT104. This is me trying to ice-skate - not a lot of opportunities for me to learn how to ice-skate in Florida! LOL

The papers are from My Mind's Eye along with some wrinkle ribbon, Liquid appliqué, Liquid Pearls, and Stickles.



The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os.

The ABC Christmas Challenge runs through Tuesday, September 29th.

Happy stamping!

Things that begin with R

 

I used: Red

This cutie pair is called Pengium Love SS003 from High Hopes New Release.

The sentiment is Dot Warm Winter Wishes H257.

It's not a new sentiment but thought it worked with this stamp.

I used a banner die with Glitter Card Stock, some pearls, flowers, Liquid Applique on the "fur" and lots of stickler on the ice and around the image.
