CSS Alumni Blog Hop - Nov 18/11

[Betty Neville]

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to another Center Stage Alumni Blog Hop!  I am first on the list this time; you can find a list of all of us participating in today's hop at StampTV.  Today we have an inspiration challenge for you.  We were to create a card or project based on any of the boxes featured in this photo from "Better Homes and Gardens":  

 

I came up with this:

Snowflake is from "Holiday Cheer" and sentiment is from "Holiday Greetings".  Card stock is GKD PL "In the Navy". 

I HAD to make another card because my GKD order containing the fabulous new StampTV kit 

"Wishing You Joy"  arrived yesterday!!   This stamp set is huge and includes many images that are perfect for CAS (clean and simple) Christmas cards.  I used the cute Santa and followed Gina's tips for coloring him here.  I used "liquid applique" on the hat trim.  Card stock is GKD PL "Lipstick Red" and sketch is CPS# 244.

 

 

Make sure you leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday, November 22nd, we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!  Thanks for stopping by!  Now let's see what amazing creation Carla has for us at:

Beautiful cards. I especially like the blue snowflakes, brrrr...makes me want to sing, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow... only it doesn't snow in Puerto Rico. :(

The snowflake card is simple with just the right amount of glitz.  I love that you used liquid applique on the santa's hat.

I love the blue snowflake card.  I am partial to blue and I plan to make a lot of snowman, flake cards for this winter thanks for sharing.
