Send A Smile 4 Kids December Challenge

 

The theme for the December Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is

I love you "Snow" much!

  

(Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.)

 

For this I decided to use a new snowman die that I picked up last year.  First, I needed to separate all the little (and I'm not exaggerating when I say little) die pieces.  I have a small jewelry nipper that works wonderfully.  However, when I snipped the little nose from inside the hat, it flew.  I had no idea where.  And my work table was so cluttered, my hopes of finding it were small.  I went through piles, I moved things around, I shook things, I crawled around on the floor, I checked my shoes and then decided I was perfectly capable of cutting out a snowman nose without the die.  And that's exactly what I did.

 

It would be great if you joined the fun at the

December Challenge.

(Cards only, please. And they need not be donated.)

 

Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  

They work so hard and are very creative!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

BTW  I found the die a few days later laying on the carpet. 

I never thought I'd see that again! 

Double Trouble Challenge #205

With only a couple days remaining to enter

 Double Trouble Challenge #205, Tie One on Day, 

here's my entry:

 

I am also entering the Try A Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #684.

 

 

Thanks for visiting! 

Double Trouble Challenge # 204

 

Here's my card for Double Trouble Challenge #204,  

3-2-1 Recipe "It's a Tall Order"

 

It is a mini slimline card with multiple images and blue, red and green and follows the sketch at Try a Sketch on Tuesday,

I used an embossing folder of Trees, for something starting with "T".

          Double Trouble Challenge #204       and       Try a Sketch on Tuesday #683.

 

 

 

Did you notice the strip of different papers going down the left side of the card? Often when you purchase a pad of paper there are tiny samples on the front of the pad.  I never throw those away.  They come in handy for cards like this.

 

Thanks for the visit!

Instead of coloring the bear,  I did a bit of paper piecing.

Double Trouble Challenge # 203

 Here's my card for Double Trouble Challenge #203,  

3-2-1 Recipe "Round and Round"

complete with Circles, Images and Twine.

 

 My niece loves owls, so this will be headed her way.

It will also be entered in DTC #203 and Try a Sketch on Tuesday # 682. 

 

 

 

Do you think I should turn that sentiment around so that it reads downward? 

I never know which way to put it vertically.

 

Thanks for visiting.

 

 

Double Trouble Challenge # 202

 First, I want to thank everyone who popped over to my blog to comment on my previous card.  I was so disappointed when I realized I had missed a recipe item and couldn't enter it in the challenge.  But you gals were so wonderful and encouraging.  

Thank you. 

I found a little window of time (I can clean the bathroom another day.  It's not like I'm expecting company or anything.) and made a second card, 

 which I'll be entering in the Double Trouble 3-2-1 Recipe, Shades of Fall and the Pearly Sparkles Challenge #112, Pumpkins and/or Autumn Leaves.

 

 

 

 Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by.

Any volunteers to clean my bathroom? 

Special Birthday Card

 Yesterday I came across 2 pieces of A2 sized patterned paper that a friend sent to me last year.  I thought it would make a lovely birthday card for my DIL, whose birthday falls on Halloween.  Usually I go with a Halloween theme for her card.  But I thought I'd go with more of an autumn theme this year.  I like how it turned out.

 I had planned to share this at Double Trouble Challenge # 202, 

Shades of Fall.  However, I am missing one of the required recipe ingredients (stenciled or dry embossed element).  

But I will enter it in the October 

Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog #112 -

Pumpkins and/or Autumn Leaves. 

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.
