Christmas Card Challenge #5

It is already May..Time is passing quickly. I am sure you all have completed your Mother day cards or maybe getting some done in last minute...if you are like me :) So the advantage of playing with IC Challenges are that there is no time limit on these. So, please feel free to create some Christmas cards in May...

Here is the sketch for the May Christmas cards challenge. If you upload to public galleries, please use the Keyword ICCMAY10.



Here is my sample card,



I used this old music sheet that somebody had sent me as RAK along with some left over stuff from card bin. The green glitter paper is American Crafts Glitter paper. the background paper is BG Eskimo Kisses. Ribbon is from the stash.

I hope you take time to create something with this sketch. Please leave a direct link to your blog or image with Mr.Linky below.

RAK winners...

i have decided since only 2 of you did all 4 of my sketches, {shame on the rest of you!!} which was tina and sara....i am going to bring you both back something from convention. tina is not a scrapper, so for her to do them, i am most impressed! BTW, i talk to tina online all the time, but am finally going to meet her today at convention!! wahoo!! and my dear friend sara, who doesn't have internet right now...i sent her the challenges so that she could play along, she got all 4 done too...so you both deserve something good in the mail this week!

congrats!! have a nice weekend, i'm headed for convention!!

scrapbook challenge 16...

well, this will be my last challenge for my "convention RAK" giveaway. i used another sketch from Studio Calico. go here to see the original post and another inspiration lo. i really like this sketch and it could easliy be turned into 2-3 pictures instead of just the one. but this is the only picture i had of quinn and avery jane for this occasion. this was taken on quinn's first day of pre-k.

supplies: bazzill dot cs, mme be loved dp & heart & scallop border, pti aqua mist buttons, k & co wood like alpha, random alpha, and jenni bowlin journal circle. once again i used my typewriter for the journaling and then just cut it apart. i always sand my photos and i always shred the edges of the cs i use and then i ink everything with antique linen and walnut ink. i use a steak knife to run along the cs to create the "worn" effect.

you have until april 30th at midnight EST, to get all 4 of the sketch challenges done i have given you. i will then pick a name and pick you up something while i am shopping at the CK convention on may 1st. so get busy!
