COLOR CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE

Hi blog friends!  

This is the last challenge for the Rock Stars at The House until after the holidays! We're taking a break, but have no worries....we'll be back with some great new challenges in the new year.  

This week we're playing with colors and this is the challenge.  

These colors are fabulous together and you can have some great fun making Christmas cards or any other occasion card using them.  Their versatility together is endless.

I've got my RI Christmas stamps out and I'm having a blast....Repeat Impressions makes some of THE BEST Christmas stamps I've seen and they're by far my favorites of the Repeat Impressions collections.  


The stamps used are RI#4714-L "Snow Skating" and RI#424-G "Wishing You a Season". The background was created using a Memory Box stencil called "Tiny Snowflakes" and Faber-Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel.  The "snow" is from some snow glitter by Martha Stewart.  The snowman and his base, was fussy cut in one piece and then popped up with dimensional tape.  Some sequins and a little gold string added for sparkle.  

There's incredible inspiration using this color combination on the Rock Stars blogs. Check them out.

And don't forget to visit THE HOUSE and play along with our challenge....you might just win yourself a $25.00 GC for Repeat Impressions Stamps.  

While I'll be breaking from my challenge blog posts for Repeat Impressions, I will have a Project of the Week for you on December 14, so stay tuned.  See you soon.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

CLEAN AND SIMPLE TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGE AT OUTLAWZ CHALLENGES

Hi there, blog friends!  

There's a new challenge over at Outlawz CAS challenge this week and I'm hosting - I hope you'll have a chance to play along...you could even get a few Christmas cards done at the same time!  

Here's the challenge:

It's coming up on the holiday season.  We've all heard the song, "I'll Be Home For Christmas", what we don't know is how you'd get home for Christmas...or any other occasion.  Your challenge this week is to show us in CAS style the mode of transportation you'd use to travel to see family or friends for the holidays or any occasion (car, train, plane, bike, horse, dog sled, magic carpet, walk, run, sleigh....you get the idea) . 


After all the pie and food over Thanksgiving, I better bike to wherever I'm going.  

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.

WHAT IF WEDNESDAY AT THE HOUSE

Hey blog friends!!! 

Happy Thanksgiving to all my USA peeps!  I hope you are able to share and enjoy time with your family....there's no substitute for family...I treasure mine.  

There's a challenge happening at The House and this week it's another awesome sketch challenge.  Gotta tell ya....sketch challenges really stretch my creativity....90% of them stump me....but I really love the challenge.  




I wanted to create an easy peasy Christmas card with this sketch, so I chose the RI Stamp #8811-K "Joy Penguins", I mean....how cute are these guys???  Not much to creating this card....some coloring of the stars and penguins' beaks and feet.  I used Glossy Accents on the stars, beaks and feet for some additional layering.  The "icicles" were cut with a pendent die from designer paper.  The penguin layer is popped up after being mounted on a dark gray edge die.  

The details for this challenge are at The House and there are some incredible interpretations for this sketch on the other Rock Stars.....don't miss these....great talent on this design team.

WHAT IF? WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello blog friends!  

I hope you all had a chance to take the blog hop "Big on Sentiments" this last week for the release of the newest sentiment stamps from Repeat Impressions.  Take it from me they are awesome!  

It's Wednesday and time for a weekly challenge from The House....this week it's a photo inspiration challenge....what inspires you about this photo?  Isn't it beautiful? I saw the beautiful sun resting on the edge of land....this could be sunrise or sunset.  



To create this card I did some masking and sponging.  It was relatively easy, a little time consuming but when I was finished, I really was pleased with it.  The stamps I used to create the silhouette image is RI #2709-I Lg Pine Forest.  The sentiment is RI# 4009-G, "In All Things".   

Don't miss the opportunity to enter this challenge and win yourself a gift certificate of $25.00 for any Repeat Impression stamps you'd like.  The details are at The House, and certainly don't miss the fabulous inspiration results from my team mates.
