Caardvarks Color A Stamped Image ChallengeToday is the day for a new Caardvarks challenge and it is a fabulous one. The challenge is to color a stamped image and I created this Happy Thanksgiving card with a 3-D stamped image that I colored with my Stampin' Up! markers. I stamped the image four times and then colored and cut each one so that I could layer the image with foam adhesive to give it dimension. The challenge is being sponsored by My Scrapbook Nook and the prize is Copic Markers. There is also a shopping discount available to Caardvarks readers, so hop on over to Caardvarks for all the details as well as to check out the fabulous work the design team did with the challenge.

The holidays are not quite upon us and the days just seem to be flying by.

 Peace On Earth - Kazan's Sketch 39 at 2S4YHow has your week been?? Weather wise, we have gone from a beautiful autumn day to a crisp cool winter one. With the snow falling and the temperatures dropping, it drives me to my scrapbook room more than any other time of the year. I have been a busy little beaver getting projects completed for my design teams that I will share with you soon, but I did finish a card for the challenge this week at 2 Sketches 4 You that I can share with you today. This week, it is the lovely Kazan's turn to share a sketch with us and this is my card based on that sketch. I used a frosted card blank from Shortcuts for this card and I stamped it with a snowflake stamp from Stampin' Up! and Opaque Staz On. I also tried something new for me with these frosted card bases....I hand sewed around the middle square (that is Bermuda Bay cardstock) that I secured to the inside of the front of the card. I used the Cold & Cuddly stamp set for this card.....I love this stamp set. I think I have used it more often than any other stamp set I have....and I have quite a few.......
