Quietly Reflecting

 For my card for Alpha 'Q' in a Month of Holiday Cards on Beccy's Place, I've selected another freebie, this one from way back in November, 2011.  That month Beccy gave us Mum's Coat #188 and then Mum's Quilted Coat #189,  You see, she has always been such a sweet and giving artist!




 As hard as it is some days to get a photo of snow effects or sparkles, these little houses sure reflected quite well.  They were just QUICK cut outs from a paper pack.

Oval Ornament

 For my card for Alpha 'O' in a Month of Holiday Cards on Beccy's Place, I've selected Holly Bauble. This was made available digitally in November 2019.

In previous years I've used this design as Beccy designed it.  I cautiously stretched the perfectly round ornament for this design to make it an Oval Ornament.  While resizing digital image to fit our designs is what makes them fun to work with we also have to be respectful of the designers work if we make the slightest change.  If you're ever in doubt, contact the designer first! 




I also colored the ornament in  two shades of Pale Orange along with the leaves are done in Lime Green and Ocean Green

Merry and Bright

 For my card for Alpha 'N' in a Month of Holiday Cards on Beccy's Place, I've selected Christmas Goose who of course happens to be sitting on a Nest. While this started in the early 16th century as an European tradition, I for one am glad the Turkeys are plentiful for our feasts at Thanksgiving!



I am using several New dies for some of the cards in this monthly challenge.  This one is Gina Marie Designs Eyelet Elegance Rectangles and I really love the lacy effect it brings to the cards.

It's A Snowy Day

In Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards, the second 'wild card challenge' has been given. 

Use tartan, plaid or checked patterned to decorate our project.

During some of the 'Treasure Hunts' Beccy has us doing, I came across these two snow images from 2014.   Again 'Free' from Beccy, the generous artist!  

I've put them together to make this snowy day card in which I used a green background plaid cardstock as my accent pieces to meet the wild card challenge. 




Thanks for stopping by to see what I've made today for this special month long challenge on Beccy's Place.

Get Your Merry On!

I'm back this afternoon to post with the All Dressed Up Digital Stamps Design Team as we open the November Challenge Blog.  I've selected their Christmas Penguin for my project today and made this Christmas card. 


 I sized the image for a 5 1/2" card base, then printed it and used Copic markers for the coloring.  Afterwards I trimmed closely along the top edge then inked with a black brush marker.

For the background I used a lighter pink cardstock and the Nellie Snellen Snow Embossing folder.  I added the blue mat to the square card base, then secured the embossed snow cardstock, then added the trimmed design at the bottom edge. Next I added the embossed sentiment at the top right and the addition of the coordinating organza ribbon and bow.  For the final touch I added the bell at the knot in the bow. 

Be sure to visit the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog to enter your ADU cards and see what the other design team ladies have made.

Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my blog and to visit my site - "Not Just Scraps' on Facebook - where you can purchase my cards.
