Thanks!

Hello everyone! 

I have 2 cards to share today that I created for a few different challenges. I used N@ Ali’s beautiful  sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch  and would also like to submit this card to the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More for the theme 'Anything Goes'. 



I couldn’t wait to play with my new stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn, so I colored this fun little guy with my Copics and added some ‘Wink of Stella’ glitter to him, and glossy accents to his glasses!


My next card is for the current Muse Challenge. Marion Vagg created the most beautiful card to inspire us, and I wanted to channel her feminine details and window on the front panel...a rather literal interpretation of her card.





Well, that’s it for me ~ I hope everyone is doing well!  I also wish all my blog friends who celebrate Christmas a very happy holiday!  Thank you all so much for stopping by!
Barb

both are adorable!! I also "finally" made a challenge card for the first time in weeks and ironically I also entered the CTS Challenge with a Thanks card! I saw yours and had almost used that same die. I actually made a card with that die, but it was not one I entered! I am so happy to see your name in so many places for winning challenges and/or having your amazing cards featured!!! WOOHOO!!

PS: Love love your new blog look....it's about time for me to have mine redesigned toO!
