Challenge Christmas Card

Let me start by apologizing for the poor photograph. Darn camera on the cell phone just doesn't take the greatest photos and my lighting at home is just terrible!

I received a package with a fabulous Riley bookmark, some very cute images and a fantastic Christmassy paperpack from my friend Mary over at SCS! Mary's posted a challenge and that is to create a card with the paperpack that she sent over and here's mine!

I couldn't wait, i got so excited to use this paper because its absolutely GORGEOUS! Forget the fact that I'm in love with all things Christmas, this rich colorful pack wont last in my craftroom! I'm dedicated to making cards with the whole thing!

The solid cardstock is all SU! I stamped the green with the flourish from Baroque Motifs (which by the way i'm LOVING). I had this set for a long time and never knew what to do with it. I recently broke it out to do some backgrounds on my calendar, and have been inking it up ever since! Its stamped with Versamark. I added a little gold ribbon, and layers of these rich beautiful colors!

The image and sentiment are both from Elzybells. I have embellished with yellow stickles for the hat & scarf, and Crystal effects for the ice and snow.

Romance is in the air....

I joined a wedded bliss mix up swap hosted by Rhondaleigh30 over on SCS.

It was my opportunity to use this adorable stamp from Elzybells, thanks to a free shipping sale my friend Michelle not too long ago!

I decided to use a simple layout and tones of pink. I also opted not to color the image, since, well, I suck at it, and also, i liked the simplistic look of this card.

Now hopefully you've all been rummaging through your un-inked piles? Hmm? Hmm? have you? hee hee.

I did stamper up a storm last night. I seem to have an addiction to swapping and have joined way too many!! A few more to get off my list and then I should really get started on working on my Christmas stamping. Can you believe its only just over a month away?! I also need to get my tree up! I love Christmastime... Now if only my renovations were done.... =P

challenge update

Rules are loose ladies - yes, non-SU! stamps and stamp sets are part of the challenge too!
