Thanks, BYSHC




Making use of my Colorful Life stencil and another great Unity stamp from my collection, I made this final card for the linky party that is ending tonight. It's been a fun week and I so appreciate getting the motivation to make a few Christmas cards way ahead of schedule.  Thanks for all the ideas and fun, for all the team and for all those who participated. And a special thanks to those wonderful sponsors who have donated such wonderful prizes for this great event. 



 

BYSHC Linky Party


Trying to get a few more Christmas cards in before this fabulous linky party is over in just a few hours. 
I used a Colorful Life stencil and stamped  a sweet image from Unity as is the sentiment. I used distress oxide blue inks, and copic alcohol markers. 


 



I hope you have had as much fun as I have playing along or gathering great ideas for this upcoming holiday season. Thanks ladies, for putting on another great party of inspiration and fun!

Crazy is my fame stenciling is my game - July




I made this card for the Crazy is my fame and stenciling is my game challenge for July. I used a stencil from A Colorful Life and a stamp from Penny Black. The details for the challenge can be found here:
I used various shades of distressed oxide inks in blue. The snowman was colored in copic markers.

I have used the month of July to get some Christmas cards done early!! Doing a card with snow gives me a mental picture of cooler weather in this summer heat!

BYSHC - Tis the season


I used a 3-D embossing folder from Sizzix, red cardstock, a piece of design paper, and 2 die cuts from Impression Obsessions. A gold metallic pen colored the ornaments on the tree and some of the Christmas lights on the background. The other lights were colored with colored pencils. 
Don't miss out on the fun over at BYSCH this week. 
 

Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge


I love turning pretty scraps of design papers into pretty backgrounds. I used Christmas papers for this one. I added a die cut angel of white (from a Momenta diecut). The sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy stamps (now known as Creative Worship Stamps.

BYSHC linky party challenges


Using scraps of Christmas design papers I made this patchwork square. I mounted it onto a little bit larger black square. I dded the Christmas gentleman silhouette carrying a wrath die cut from Spellbinders and added the silver die cut JOY. I used a puffy star sticker for the dot on the J. 

I am adding this to the linky party going on over at the BYSHcardmakers blogspot.com
