Cactus-Let It Snow

In honor of my sister-in-law who despises snow and cold.  This one is for you!  I used a couple Paper Smooches sets (cactus and hat) and an Avery Elle set (sentiment).  The over-sized mustache is a button I've had for ages!  I'm seriously loving this silly card!  Happy Sunday!  Hugs, Debbie

My cactus was very nice and got his wish--SNOW!

Hey Sugar, a donut sensation!

While browsing some different challenges, I stumbled across Sketchy Colors.  When I saw those donuts, I not only wanted to play with the colors, I wanted to duplicate the donuts!  I used three different Paper Smooches stamp sets--Sugar Rush, Shadows, and Falling for You. I glossy accented those yummy donuts, heat embossed the sentiment, and added some googly eyes.  (Now off to Dunkin' Donuts!)  Thanks for stopping by!  Debbie

Challenges I'm entering this card:

Nautical-You Anchor Me

I like all the nautical challenges lately.  I used Paper Smooches' Wicked Nauticool stamps.  I mixed Distress Ink and embossing paste and created the background.  I made my own stencil by die cutting several sheets and adhering them.  The die I used is Chevron by The Cat's Pajamas! The colors--red & blue-- were inspired again by the Curtain Call's photo inspiration as were the chevrons.  I used CAS(E) this Sketch. Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hugs, Debbie

Again, I'm playing with some new Paper Smooches stamps. As soon as I saw that lamp, I thought a heating lamp for hatching chicks.  To add a bit of humor, I used a sentiment from group hugs.  Well that's it for this post!  Hugs, Debbie
