Camping and Stamping for Challenges

I made a few cards last weekend while we were camping. They are all for Sweet N Sassy's Release challenges. I had limited supplies with me which made it challenging, but satisfying and fun.

Challenge One - Include Snow or Snowflakes


Challenge Two - Use Kraft with Shades of Blue


Challenge Three - Make it Masculine


It felt good to get some stamping time in and I feel like my mojo is slowly growing. I especially am finding it hard to get into the Christmas card groove. Watching some Christmas movies is helping though. First it was The Grinch (my favorite Christmas movie of all time) and now Polar Express (love the hot chocolate scene).

Foxy Christmas

I must admit that I very much like the new fox image trend that is emerging. I adore the owls that are out there and now these foxes have captured my heart as well. I found this cute little fox Christmas stamp in the dollar bin at Michael's the other day.



I made two slightly different cards with this cute little fox. I had fun adding all the fun little elements too. Are you getting ready for Christmas? I am trying to get some Christmas cards done now, so I have them  ready.

Getting Ready for Christmas

With the unseasonable warmer weather we've been having here it is hard for me to get into the Christmas card making spirit, but I need to get stamping nonetheless.


I made this first card for the SplitCoastStampers Sketch challenge.


The second card I made for one of the Mini VSN challenges going on right now over at SplitCoastStampers.com.  We were given a yummy picture as inspiration. I always love a chance to make something with an image of a mug on it.
