Crazy 4 Punches - Holiday Happiness!

What a FANTASTIC challenge Ms. Frances Byrne has come up with for all of us Crazy Gals! This week we are using our punches...border punches, hole punches, scallops, circles, squares...the sky's the limit!!!

Here is my Punch Happy creation!

There is a Grand Total of TEN punches used on this card!! Definitely not a difficult challenge for me as I use my punches ALL the time!! They are such a great way to add a little 'punch' to your card!!! HAHAHAHA! I'm hilarious! (rolling eyes at myself now!)

That sweet little elf is from CTMH - Merry Pursuits. I used Garden Green and Not quite Navy cardstock...not sure whose DP that is but it's shiny and pretty!!

If you'd like to play along please post your creation to the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog with Mr.Linky and if you upload to SCS use Keyword C4C13!!

OCC Sketch Challenge - Ornaments

I absolutely LOVE the sketch that our clever hostess, Jennifer Meyer came up with for the OCC Challenge this week! I'm definitely going to be using this one again!! Check it out!!

Now here is my version of the sketch! I just got the new Ornament punch from SU! and I couldn't wait to use it!!

The sentiment is from a CTMH set. I think I used a total of EIGHT different punches on this card from THREE different companies!! I like to consider myself an 'equal opportunity' crafter!! Lol!

Please join us in this challenge...just make sure you leave your creation on Our Creative Corner using Mr.Linky and if you upload to SCS use Keyword OCCC!

Crazy 4 Acetate!

The super talented Frances Byrne has challenged us to create a card or project using acetate! Head on over to the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog where you'll find all kinds of ideas for creating with acetate as well as AMAZING samples from the DT!

Now I have to admit that the acetate made ME crazy more so than me being crazy for it....at first!! Once I played with it for a while though, I got the hang of working with it! It was totally worth it as the results can be quite stunning...and unique!!

I made a 'Sour Cream Container' to go along with my card!

Here is a photo of just the card...apparently you can get a thicker acetate that is better for card bases...this is just regular stuff that bends really easy!!!

The image is from Inkadinkado. I used Cool Carribbean ink and cardstock and the ribbon is from Wal-Mart. I stamped the sentiment on a white piece of CS for the inside of the card and used snow flourishes (Inkadinkado) on the borders.

Thanks so much for stoppin' by and be sure to play along and share your creation with us on the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog! If you upload to SCS or any other on-line forum use Keyword C4C11!
