Waltzingmouse Blog Challenge-WMSC24

Have you seen this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #24?
I had so much fun with it, that I made 2 cards, instead of 1. I really love these vintage images and how they fit with my Spellbinder dies. I love the clean look you get when you have a die that matches the stamped image. Anyway, thanks for taking a peek at my cards! Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

How YOU Doin?

I cut this cute window frame card out on my cricut, then stamped the overlying frame with Gurnsey Gingham using Ranger Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. The cute sheer ruffly ribbon is actually from a jewelry making kit that I got on clearance at Michaels', so it's supposed to be part of a necklace. I covered that with a row of Amuse twinkles in green. The sentiment panel was cut from a Nestabilities label die and then stamped with the word "enjoy" from the new release set "How YOU Doin" *hence my title*.
Have a Happy Monday!

Snowman Thinking of You

I picked up this cute Great Impressions snowman stamp last week while visiting Pat and Lee at One Little Spark. I thought he was just so adorable and couldn't wait to get him inky.
I paper pieced his hat with one of the patterns from my Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 6x6 mini deck and colored the pine on his twigs with a green Copic marker (also from One Little Spark). I added some silver Martha Stewart glitter, I liked the look of silver with this card rather than a clear or white glitter for some reason.

I cut him out with an oval nestability and then a scalloped oval in black bazzill to frame him. The cute black scalloped border is from My Favorite Things, I am really loving their Die-namics, have a long wishlist there-haha! The scrappy wishlist never has an end, does it?!
For my triple loop bow, I followed THIS tutorial that I stumbled upon on SCS and finished it off with some punched snowflakes and a pretty pearl brad by Recollections.

This is one of my favorite cards in a long time, this Cosmo paper is going to get A LOT of use from me, just LOVE it!

Oh, and how can I forget, the "thinking of you" sentiment is from the new Ippity release set "How YOU Doin". Click HERE if you'd like to check it out along with all the other adorable new releases!

Happy Sunday! xx, nora anne

Happy Friday! I hate the feeling of getting sick right before the weekend, but I think it's happening - blah! I guess it was inevitable since my little guy was sick last week and I could only fight it off for so long.
I just hope I'm not too sick to play with all of my new stamps! Have you seen the new Ippity release?! I have been creating with these all week and having so much fun! I'll be sharing more next week. For today, I thought I would give my Ippity stamps a break and use my Unity November Kit of the Month. So many great images in this kit ~ I can't wait to get them all inky! I followed the Mojo Monday sketch for my card.
Well, before you move on to the next stop, the talented Angie, check out my Ippity blog and see how you can get a FREE ippity past release, Straight From the Heart!
Enjoy your weekend!
