SIP Challenge #123 Sketch Challenge with Smitten Mittens

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  Hopefully your week is off to a good start.  As usual on Tuesday I'm over at Stamp, Ink, Paper with my Challenge Card.  This week is an awesome sketch by the talented Dena Rekow!  I really love it and I'm sure you will too!

Of course I'm back on my mission to get more Christmas cards done so once again I took this chance to turn a sketch into one of my Christmas Cards.  I know that many of you make multiple of card designs.  I hardly ever do that.  I rarely duplicate any of my cards.  Weird.. well yep, I guess so!  It certainly takes me much longer to get my Christmas Cards done!  So this time I used the Smitten Mittens Bundle along with some of the Quilted Christmas DSP.

My color scheme was Real Red, Basic Black, Garden Green, and White which worked perfectly from  Quilted Christmas DSP.  The plaid banner behind the mitten was from the Christmas Around the World DSP.. I'm really loving plaids this year!

SIP Challenge #122 Product Feature - Washi Tape!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I hope your week has gotten off to a good start!  Jeff and I spent Saturday in Knoxville watching our sweet little granddaughter, Laken, play softball.  It was her only tournament this year and since I've seen her older sister play in several tournaments, I had to make this trip!  Oh and the good news was that they won their age bracket!  Here's a few shots that I couldn't help but share.. lol  it was a Halloween Tournament so they played in costumes.  Laken's team played as the Pink Ladies softball team from Grease!

It started off cool that morning and believe me by the end of the day it was time to peel that little jacket off!  lol  Laken is absolutely adorable and just as sweet as she is cute!

Well back to Tuesday and the matter at hand.  You know what Tuesday means, right?

It's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge!  This week is all about Washi Tape

Since I had some Washi Tape with trains on it I decided to pull out the Classic Traveler Stamp Set along with Lovely as a Tree!  

Luckily I had been able to get the coordinating dies from Dies by Dave for the Traveler Stamp Set before he stopped selling them.  I will guard those with my life.. lol

Tip:  When using Washi  Tape over DSP or dark Cardstock, mount the Washi Tape on White Cardstock and then cut out around it.  It makes for a cleaner look and makes the Washi more stable.  I use snail to adhere the mounted Washi Tape to the DSP or Cardstock.
