Eureka Stamps Challenge #116

It's a new week and a new challenge at the Eureka Stamps blog.

This week's challenge, #116, is "Non Traditional Christmas Colors".  Here's the card I created for this week's reveal.

I used two different Eureka stamps this week.  You can find the cute caroling bunnies here and the Fa La La here.

The patterned paper is by Echo Park and so is the round embellishment.  I colored the bunnies to match the pink in the paper and put a brown center on the pink snowflake embellishment.  I love pink and brown and thought these colors were very non traditional for a Christmas card.

Here's a close-up picture.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Eureka Challenge #115

If you're looking for the Sketches4All Blog Hop ~ click here.




Welcome to a brand new challenge at the Eureka Stamps blog.

This week's challenge, #115, is "Give Thanks".  Here's the card I created for this week's reveal.

I used a Eureka Stamps image this week and you can find it right here.  I think the pumpkin with the vines is so cute worked in with the first letter.   I also used patterned papers and embellishments from Echo Park, I Heart Fall.

Here's a close-up of my card.

I printed the image out on textured cardstock and really like the way it looks.  Here's a close-up of the cute little squirrel.

Happy Tuesday

I thought I'd catch up with some of the happenings at Sketches4All!!

I started my Christmas Card Challenge Group again last month  My new challenge is up right here and this is the card that I created for inspiration.

I hoard October Afternoon Make It Merry and still have LOTS of it left.  Almost everything on here is Make It Merry.  I added the row of white eyelet and put the gingham ribbon on top of that.  Even the buttons and the brad are OA.

Here's another photograph.

Aren't those little kids the cutest?  You know they're dreaming of what Santa is going to bring them. 

My other new challenge is also up.  It's "Fall ~ Anything Goes".  Here's the card that I created for inspiration.

This card is based on a sketch by Julee Tilman.  I used Echo Park I Heart Fall collection.

Here's a close-up.

Our DT sponsored challenge is also posted.  This month's challenge is "Be Grateful It's Fall".  

Here's the card I created for the reveal.

I also used Echo Park I Heart Fall collection.  This card is also based on the sketch by Julee Tilman.

Here's a close up of my card.

It's time for a new challenge at Eureka Stamps blog!

This week's challenge, #113, is "Count Your Blessings".  Here's the card I created for this week's challenge.

I used a digi stamp from Eureka Stamps this week.

The "wood" and patterned paper background are both Echo Park, I Heart Fall.  The chipboard "Giving Thanks" is Bella Blvd, A Perfect Autumn.  I tied the twine around the K and finished it off with a bow.  Both sentiments are attached with pop dots.  

Here's a close-up photograph.

And one more.
