Not sure if I'll be able to post again until after Christmas, but wanted to spend a bit of time in the old craft room. I've got two cards for four challenges today. First is a birthday card for another of the granddaughters, and will be going off to CAS(E) This Sketch and the City Crafter Challenge. Good friend and fellow BABE, Darnell is GD there, so I really wanted to play along at CCC. Plus there's an awesome color palette! And wow!, a great sketch from Leigh Penner at CTS!!! Definitely had to play!
Here's my card:
I wish I had better light...the reds look like two different colors! They are so close irl, and no matter what I did, the 'birthday' showed lighter...ah well... Started with a Michaels base, some MME enamel dots, scrap of gray, a scrap of paper from Geri G. (thanks!), some AC twine, a ME border die, a MB 'happy' die, and an RC birthday stamp masked off with VersaFine red ink. Hope Anna likes it!
Next up is a card for the Lawnscaping Challenge, whose theme this week is "Merry Christmas." And this will also make an appearance at the Curtain Call with the theme "candy cane." See what you think:
A pretty easy Christmas card:
Started with a Michaels base, and used some scraps of red, white, and stripes. The stamp is from LF, and I masked off the "J" and used a rub-on candy cane from Heide Grace in its place. Some old holly leaves from I don't know where, and three Queen & Co. Twinkle Goosebump blings for the berries. EZ. And with that, I won't keep you here any longer. Merry Christmas Everyone.

Merry Christmas to you too Bev! You are so right, I would love to see more focus on what the true meaning of Christmas is. I love, love your cards. The birthday one is fabulous and I think your granddaughter will love it. I also love your take on the inspiration photo of the candy cane wreath! So awesome is that card too! Hugs, Brenda
Super fun use of the colors and a great couple of cards~

Bev, these are seriously fantastic! I love every little bit of these, especially how you used a candy cane rub-on for the "J"...such a good idea! Have a wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your family, sweet Bev! Your friendship and encouragement has meant the world to me this year. I very much appreciate you! Your cards are always such a visual feast. I love seeing the different styles you turn your hand to and how you manage to nail every single one. You're a very clever and talented lady, Bev! Merry Christmas xx
You've used the colours from CCC so perfectly, Bev ... the wavy DP is fabulous cut in the wavy shape! Fun candy cane J ... perfect with those splendid stripes! Wishing you and all of yours His blessings and peace at Christmas and always! Hugs and Bisous, Bisous, dear friend, Anita :)
perfect birthday card! :) thank you for playing a long with us at lawnscaping!
I love both cards, Bev, but the holly one caught my eye at Curtain Call. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
You've crafted up a winner for the CC challenge! The curves of the label die that you used look great with the 'happy' font and create an awesome contrast with a Courier type 'birthday' font!
Great blings too! And, you're very welcome for the paper! Nice to see it in action!
Wishing you a happy day celebrating the birth of our Savior!
Why did I miss this post in my reader!
Luckily I found your beautiful card in the CAS(E) this sketch gallery Bev!
I hope you had a merry Christmas... and I want to thank you for joining us this week!
Belated Merry Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR, dear friend! Both cards here have planted a smile on my face! Your grand-daughter will adore her card, as do I. Your second card: jolly, jolly, jolly!
Hugs~c
Just spotted your card at Case this Sketch and had to pop across as it's so beautiful. Really stylish and eyecatching die cutting. x
Oh, this is so lovely! Wonderful take on the sketch!
Wow, Bev, gorgeous cards! They both totally make me smile!
