Diva Dare with MOJO324 & Merry Monday#88 - Santa's Helper

Trying to get back into the swing of what I love most...creating cards and let me tell you it felt good to make one after being sick for several weeks and working on a long project for work. It's addition, it's a great stress relief which is what I tell my daughters all the time.

Here is my card:

First time combining one card in 3 challenges.....started off with a MOJO Monday sketch#324 along with joining Merry Monday#88, a Christmas challenge for all year long. What a great way to have all your Christmas cards done and wished I saw this earlier in the year.

 Last but not least, joining December Diva Dare 2013. The challenge this month is to post your favorite Verve Stamps 2013 creation or make a new card using your favorite Verve stamp set.

As you can tell by my previous posts, I love using Verve stamps and have lots of favorites which is hard to narrow down, so I decided to create a new card using some of my favorite stamp sets and dies to join the challenge.

Love this little reindeer from Santa's Helper along with the new sentiments/fonts from the stamp set: Chevron Love and snowflakes from Holiday Treats. Also, used some of my favorite verve dies, Pennant Trim, Charming Oval Die, along with Winter Fun Die.

Joining the fun for Diva Dare Challenge for the month of October but had some difficulties with my computer so didn't quite make it by the deadline. Either way, here is my card using a previous MOJO sketch, #315.  The Diva Dare challenge was to  create a set of gift tags, use a tag on a card or create something inspired by a fabulous tag you've come across.

VLV Sept Week4 - Happy Holidays

Here is my take on VLVSEP2013 week 4 sketch designed by Charmaine Ikach which was fun to work with and create.

Here is my card below:

Isn't this paper so cute? I love it!! It's called: Winter Frost Specialty DSP by SU along with Silver Foil Sheets as my mat base. Only thing, it's hard to capture in a photo. Ribbon also from SU 1/8" Silver Ribbon all from their Holiday Catalog. Simple to re-create.

I think I'm going to tell my daughter to stop showing me stuff, everything is so cute, but love seeing it all and so happy she sells it. I think I buy everything she shows me.

Love these dies by MFT called Well Worn Greetings. For the base I used Island Indigo (SU), middle Smokey Slate (SU), and top Whisper White. The black oval scallop border came from Well Worn Greeting stamp set (MFT) and sentiment from Santa's Helper (Verve).
