Oldies but Goodies from Karen's Doodles


This week I decided to showcase First Taste of Snow, an OLDIE BUT GOODIE from Karen's Doodles. I used some purple paper that I had from another project and made an easel card. The small snowflakes are buttons and the larger snowflakes were from a pack I got from the dollar store. I added a Christmas tree charm to the center of the sentiment and added 3D glittering Crystal to the snowflakes in the image. She is coloured with Copics.

Simon Says.....Let it Snow!!!

Photobucket


This week, the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog is LET IT SNOW!!!!

I made a shaker easel card with Changito Shovel stamp. Inside the shaker is chunky glitter from Doodlebug. The snowflake is a MS punch and some plastic shiny snowflakes I think I got from the Dollar Store AGES ago! I then added a half pearl on top. The sentiment is from a Crafty Secrets set I've have for a few years, and it is always a good GO-TO set for me! The paper is from my bin, not sure if it is SU or PTI.....can't remember!!!! Sorry!!!


Here he is, all shaken up!!!

The Corrosive Challenge Blog......80's inspired!

This week at The Corrosive Challenge blog, we are looking for some 80's inspired creations! I loved the 80's....the music, the clothes (ok, well some of them!), the TV shows, the movies, the lingo....lol....I was a teenager in the 80's and it was some FUN times!!!! I liked everything from head banging heavy metal to Top 40 bee bop stuff!!! LOL And I had the clothes too - leg warmers, stirrup pants, flourescent pink and green Sun Ice ski jacket, Quik Zip jeans, skin tight jeans, etc. Ohhhhh the fun!!!! LOL Ok, enough reminiscing!!!! Here is my card for this week:

I decided to go with the 80's Glam Rock phase and use Metal Babe from Kenny K. I added a Santa hat too (also Kenny K) to make it into a rockin' Christmas card!!! The papers are from FIGGY, by Basic Grey & I made the sentiment on my computer. Head on over to see what the rest of the DT have created for you!!!!

Have a great week!

Chris
