Get Well Bandaid Tag

Created this Get Well Bandaid Tag to put on a gift for a friend. Used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 Cricut cartridge.

Cut the shadow background & front of tag at 3.5". Used VersaMark on the bandaid & added Stardust chalk. Liked the way the chalk made the bandaid look more realistic & shine. Stamped 'xoxoxo' to center of bandaid because I felt this was the appropriate finishing stamping touch for the tag. I waited for the chalk to dry & did a sample test on a piece of cardstock. Added yellow/white twine.

Christmas Card using Sketch

Created this card using Die Cuttin Divas Oct
sketch. Some of you know I'm not the best at
sketch challenges. After a much needed rainy
weekend here in Central TX this is what I came
up with.

Photographed card with the bee-utiful quilted tree
skirt that TenSGal of Expression Avenue's Mother,
who my family called Grandma Hilde, made
for me many yrs ago.

2011 Christmas Card Challenge Week #45

Hello hello!

Welcome to this weeks challenge here at the Christmas Card Challenge blog. We really had quite a nice turnout for last weeks Tags challenge. You all are really inspiring! Thanks again to all who joined us. We really do appreciate your participation. Since last week was the first challenge of the month, we have a random winner this week.

Congratulations #8 - Melissa!

Please send me an email (onecraftychica@gmail.com) with your address so that we can get your stamp out to you.

Now, onto this weeks challenge, which is a photo inspiration challenge. Please see below. Please keep in mind that all challenges are optional. Any Christmas/Winter/Holiday card will do. The idea is to help get your Christmas card stash started. Also, it is not necessary to use a SCRS stamp, but we sure love it when you do!

Here is a better view of the photo for you.

3. Die Cut Divas
I'm hoping that Die Cut used does not have to be
a Cricut die cut, can be any die cut and have to
specify what die cut used.

Christmas Lollipop Card

Saw the Cooking with Cricut challenge #43 Lollipops so I decided to make a Lollipop card. Then saw Polka Doodle wk 29 challenge - Christmas in July. So, I thought why not make a Christmas Lollipop card. Was getting ready to put a sentiment on the card when I saw My craft Spot Challenge #18 - Emboss It! So with all 3 challenges in mind this is what I created.
