The stockings were hung

 I played along with the Jingle Belles this week for their "Stockings were hung" inspiration picture challenge.  I chose to do mini slimline cards to mimic the size of the picture.  I used paper with stockings and the colours that were in the photo and tried to get the pine bough in there as well.  Loving participating in this challenge. Hopefully I did the challenge proud lol.

SOS - you deserve a hand

 This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is "you deserve a hand" - feature a hand of some sort or congratulations on a card.  I chose the hand and figured what better week to do a valentines card than this week.  I kept it clean and simple and tried to keep it along a masculine feel.  Play along with us, will you?

A Tiny Card - NBUS

 This month's challenge at A Tiny Card is NBUS - never before used stuff - I have all of these Colorado Crafts stamps that I bought at black Friday and finally have got some ink on them.  I also used some new blending brushes and a new blue ink colour for the clouds.  I will be giving these cuties to our local breakfast program.  Play along with us, will you?

Jingle Belles - my true love gave to me

 Playing along with the Jingle Belles true love challenge and I may have gone a bit overboard...I did hearts and all of the 12 days of Christmas so that I came out with 12 matchy matchy cards to use this year.  What a fun and productive challenge.

SOS - my heart beets for you

 This week's challenge at shopping our stash is to use vegetables or hearts on your card.  When I saw this challenge I was super excited as I knew I had the perfect stamp set to use for it.  A whole set of just vegetables that hadn't seen any ink yet.  Play along with us, will you?
