KWerner Color Challenge #44

It's time KWerner's Color Challenge. These are my favorite color combos (as you can tell on my blog)! I got a couple of new stamps sets at Michael's yesterday from the $ rack (Wahoo), so I wanted to use one of them. I recently found a very talented young lady's blog and was WOWED by her work. Her name is Chelsea Cook. You really need to check out her work! So I got the idea for my card from one of her cards. Thanks Chelsea!! I just found another setting on my camera for more close up pictures, so one is a little closer up to show the stitching I did. I always wanted to stitch on my cards, but never have until now, and I LOVE it! It its so much fun! Here it is, I hope you like it! Have a Blessed day!

Recipe:
Paper: My Mind's Eye, Kaleidoscope, white & brown card stock

New Toys

I haven't posted in almost a week, I have been doing the dreaded taxes for my husbands business. It is so much work!!! Well I did get to take a break from that today and got to go and buy some new stuff! I usually only go to Hobby Lobby, but today I went to Michael's too! I haven't been in there in awhile, but I think today I found me a new favorite store!! :) I had so many idea's looking through all of the $ racks. And for the more expensive stuff I had a coupon of course( can't go there without them)! So I didn't spend to much! Look at this set of stamps, it has my name (Winter) & my blog name (Winter Wonderland)! How cool is that? And it was only $1.00. I just had to get it! I hope I can get a card ready for the Color Challenge before the deadline! Maybe after Bible Study tonight. Well I hope you have a Blessed night!

Pink Sketches Blog #22

While looking through blogs, I found a new sketch to play along in. This one is called the Pink Sketches Blog. They have some pretty amazing women designing there, check them out! This is my first scrapbook page to do since I had my blog. I have been doing a lot of cards, but I need to be doing my pages that I am behind on! I am going to try to do more pages.
This is a page telling about my two Beagle's, (Tucker & Kate) and their wedding! My children wanted them to have puppies, so we told them that they should get married first. My husband is a pastor so we got him to preform the ceremony! :) The kids and I had such a good time dressing them up! We had a veil that my daughter wore in a wedding as a flower girl and my son had this cowboy hat and tie. In another picture the dog "Tucker" had on cowboy boots :), (that didn't last long) and Kate had some fresh picked wild flowers too. They also exchanged dog tags! It was a day we will never forget! :) Have a blessed day!

Paper: My Mind's Eye, cream card stock
Stamps: Pebbles-Mackavilli -foam stamps, Stampcraft- Greekstone, Autumn Leaves- Journaling stamps
Ink: VersaMark- water mark
Accessories: Dog Tags, rhinestones, embossing powder

KWerner Color Challenge #43

Here is another KWerner Color Challenge. I love to do these challenges, it helps me to go outside of my "color" box. The color inspiration picture is bibs, so I tried to create a baby bib, I hope you can tell! I have not used my decorative scissors in forever, but I dusted them off today and used my mini scallop pair. I have a baby shower to go to this weekend, so here is the card they will receive. I hope you like it! Have a Blessed Day!

Amy Rysavy's Sketch #50

Two post in one day, WOW! I found another sketch challenge to participate in, over at Amy Rysavy's blog. There are some really talented people there, check them out!

I have a very close childhood friend who moved away a couple of years ago to South Carolina with her husband in the military. They have two beautiful young little girls. Her husband was stationed last month in Japan, so she is there by herself for a couple of month's, with no other family there. She does have her church family, so I am thankful for that. I wanted to send her a card telling her that I missed her and I had them in my prayers. So here it is!

Have a Blessed day!

Recipe:
Paper: My Mind's Eye, Best Occasions, SU!, scraps from my stash
Stamps: Stampendous!- Happy messages
Ink: Martha Stewart- dark blue
Accessories: orange satin ribbon, metal ring tag, embroidery floss, paper blossoms, brads, paper piercing, green marker

Makeesha's Inkspriaton's Sketch Challenge #5

I have been visiting Makeesha's blog for awhile, but have never played in her challenges. So this week I thought I would try! I have never done a sketch challenge before, it was so fun! It really did take a lot of guess work out of it, very helpful!

My daughter's friend is home sick with the flu (yuck), so we thought we should send her a card telling her hello, and that we were praying for a quick recovery for her. I bought these chipboard tags and shape cut-outs months ago, and have never used them, I think they are so cute! I bought them from the $ spot at Target, a package of 30 for $1.00. That's my kind of shopping! So here is my card, I hope you like it! Have a Blessed day!

Recipe:

Paper: My Mind's Eye, Best Occasions, scraps from my stash

Stamp: Stampendous!- Happy Messages

Ink: SU!- basic brown

Accessories: Chipboard tree- $ spot- Target, lime satin ribbon
