Marine Wife's Scrappin' Life: August 2023

I MADE TOP 5!!!

I was so excited to find out today that I made the Top 5 at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge for Challenge #145! Here's the card that made the Top 5:

It's been a really long time since I entered a creative challenge for anything, so it was nice to see! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Everyone loves Snoopy, right? We all remember him sleeping on top of his doghouse or flying after the Red Baron. When I saw this rubber stamp of Snoopy several years ago, I knew I HAD to have it, and it's become one of my favorite stamps for Christmas cards.

I always love the simplicity of this card! I used colored pencils to color the doghouse and the Christmas lights, and I added some Stickles to enhance the snow. The sentiment is from The Stamps of Life's Christmastree2stamp set (which I believe has been discontinued). I'm also entering this in the Anything Christmas Goes challenge at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge and at the Anything Goes challenge at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy scrapping!

Merry Christmas poinsettia

Once I had this simple card put together, I thought it needed a little something extra. I decided to add red, green, and gold Stickles to certain parts of the card to set things off. Who doesn't love a Christmas card with a little bling?!?

The Stickles colors I used here are Christmas Red, Gold, and Green. The Holly and Ivy Christmas Christmas Challenge currently has an Anything Christmas Goes challenge, so I'll be entering this there.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy scrapping!

Deck the Halls

I always love making Christmas cards throughout the year, because it gives me a good jump on having plenty of cards made when it's time to send them out. The current challenge at Christmas with the Cuties is Something Green, so I thought this card fit perfectly!
