Time to Thank You

Sometimes it's a challenge to use part of a pattern in some patterned papers for cards. This paper seemed to design the card itself.  I like the script and clock patterns next to the squared circle. The circle was the perfect size for a Thank You stamp.

 

I was able to use a smaller clock part of the paper for a button and some of the black and white chevron  ribbon for an embellishment.

What a cute puppy, right? This is Bailey Christmas ~digital image by Hambo Stamps. The Hambo Hoedown Challenge for this week was Anything Goes.

He is so cute, I can't decide whether to use this tag as part of a Thank You note for one of this year's Christmas presents or save him for next year's gift.

Holiday Tangled Pig

The Hambo Hoedown Challenge for this past week was to make an Easel Card. I've never made one so I thought I'd try.  I used the Pig Tangle ~digital image by Hambo Stamps.

I finally got to use some May Arts red & white twill striped ribbon. I really like the pattern but sometimes it is hard to incorporate into a design. I think the jolly pig turned out cute.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

I'm considering giving this cutie to my Cutie!  The Hambo Hoedown Challenge for this week is to make a masculine card.  I used Dragon -digital image by Hambo Stamps.

I thought a simple card with bold colors would be perfect.  And you know I can't resist beady eyes.

I made this card for the OWH Sketch Challenge #148. 

I had fun using distress ink on a tag cut and other paper elements. This stamp can be used with a ticket cut from the Artiste cartridge but I like it here on the tag.

This is my version of the OWH Sketch Challenge #149.

I really like being able to emboss a background to complement a shape I have cut.  The gear is a fun and unexpected shape.

Miss You

This is my entry for the Delightful Inspiration December Layout Sketch Challenge.

I really like using text patterned paper as a background.  It adds some interest without taking away the focus from the rest of the elements.

 

This is my version of the Delightful Inspiration December Card Sketch Challenge.

I really like the crossword paper. I added my own "Across" and colored a gray gem to mimic the lights on the camera paper.

Thanks a Bunch

I've been wanting to add more Cricut cuts to my cards lately so when I saw the OWH ODBD December Challenge that asked for flowers, I thought these would be perfect.  {Thank you Betsy for letting me borrow this cute cartridge}

I've also been wanting to see how I can use Copic markers with my cuts.  I tried to add some dimension to the flowers by putting a little color on the bottom.  What do you think?
