Great job ladies! I will try to get some comments done this morning before all of my busyness starts- things like grocery shopping to pick-up a few last minute items before company comes and defintely house cleaning—especially the guest room since it is my crafting room when no one is here. My, oh my, can I ever get that room in a mess!! Sorry to hear about everyone having trouble on here. I have not had trouble before except when those cute little faces disappeared and now everything is working great!
Gisele- Thank you for the lovely sketches. I will save them for when I am in a tough spot and need a beautiful card and have no imagination as to what to do! I loved your samples.
Sketch #1- I really thought the colors were great and your flower is gorgeous. Did you know what the color challenge was going to be or was that just a happy accident? #2 Cute ornament frame #3 Tag is so great for Christmas with the soldier!
Dee- Thanks for the color challenge. I may have gotten all of those colors into my fishbowl card. I just did not go back and check to make sure I got them all in. I came close (I think)
Sandy- I just loved your deer snowglobe tag! Sooooo cute! The reindeer's cute little face just makes me want to give him a big hug. Oh, by the way, thanks for proclaiming me the QUEEN! That is so awesome. I am now royalty! My family may not be able to live with me. Wait...why am I so pressed for time today with cleaning, shopping, and cooking preparations—Shouldn't I be ordering my servants around!!!
Well, I love to cook and I live to do things for my family so I shall graciously be a humble Queen and do things for myself!!
Sketch #2- How sweet that little caroler is!! Great interpretation of the sketch.
Britishgirl- I love the snowman tag card. I love snowmen, too. I know I would love getting a card like this. You probably just about have all of the colors in this card as well. Sketch #1 came out very nice. That little flower just adds some little sparkle to the card. Sketch #2 is fantastic. I love that embossed paper with the snowflake folder. I have got to get mine out and get busy using it. I especially like that lovely ribbon you used. It definitely just “ties” the whole card together!
Raquel- Great work on Sketch #2 with the colors from last week. The ribbon and bows with the flower just adds the perfect touch to this card. Sketch #2 in the add colors came out great! I love the cars and the get well soon.
Turtlebug- What a festive little tag! Great Christmas colors, lovely snowflake with jewels, and I see that embossing in the back!!! Sketch #1 in the ad colors came out very nicely. Hard work trying to remember all of those colors. The little birdie looks so much like the birds in the embossing—definitely a good folder to emboss with for this card.
jjolynmill- Great to have you join us and you did a good job on your card. You will find out the sketches are just a guide and we do not always stick exactly to it. That is part of being creative!
It makes it so fun to share with these lovely ladies. They have always made me feel so welcome. They are also very helpful. I have learned a great deal by looking at their lovely creations.
Across the Pond- Sketch #1- Love this cute little girl. The one paper reminds me of a patchwork quilt. I love the added flourish—great idea for sure. Tag- I really love the bird. The round sentiment and frame around it is super!
BingoLady- Sketch #1 came out fantastic. Very close indeed to the sketch—much closer than my fishbowl! The snowflake embossing adds a great touch to this card. I just bought that folder and can hardly wait to use it! Sketch #2- There is that snowflake folder again! You are making good use of it on these cards. The ornament came out very lovely and looks great being the center of the card.
Shelbywoo- Great to see you again. That first card with the owls and two different types of embossing is just lovely. I love the fall colors with the Thanksgiving sentiment with the finishing touch of the twine. WOW! What a great collection of tags! Great work! The last one has to be from sketch #1 this week. The colors on this one look very pleasing and work very well together.
Christineramey- I could not see your card when I went to your blog!
The only thing that it should was a black rectangle, a white outline of an oval, and a white dash inside of the oval. Maybe I will have time to try later and it will work.
Carrottop50- Your turkey cards are soooooo cute! The boy turkey is so sophisticated in his bow tie and top hat. I think the paper you chose for the girl turkey's feather was so creative and just perfect!
Your tag is very nice indeed. Is that stickles or glitter on Santa's beard. Definitely adds a nice touch to add some dimension and interest! Great Sketch #1 as well. You have been quite busy. You did great getting all of those colors in without it looking like you were trying to get a lot of colors into your card! I like your other two Christmas cards as well. The red and white is super. The embossing folder you used here was a very good choice. Keeping in just the two colors was an excellent idea. The snowman on the other is just very cute. You did a great job using the paper with all of the words on it. That can be tricky sometimes.
Daveshunny- What a sweet, innocent little card! I love it. You did a great job with all of the little details.
NanaDonna- I just love gingerbread men. It makes me want to start making my Christmas cookies. The paper you used worked perfectly with the gingerbread man as the center point.
Well, I hope I did not miss anyone! If you post after I do I may not be able to get back on to comment with such a busy day planned Which come to think of it I am way behind schedule!!
Yikes! I have got to get a move on it! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
