Merry Monday #83

This weeks challenge over at Merry Monday is to use strips, red, chocolate brown with stars or hearts. I had so many ideas but had a hard time with the stars or hearts part of the challenge... Here's what I came up with...

Used a candy cane embossing folder on real red cs, edgelit on the ivory with red twine and a chipboard star (colored with ink and then cinnamon stickles) The merry and bright stamp comes from Unity Stamps Ocotober kit of the month. Used chalk talk framelits on the ivory and brown tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm off to make lunch for my muchkins and then I'll be back to comment on the cards created.

Oh Christmas Tree...

Today's card was created for two challenges. First the sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday SFF110813  and also Unity's Friends with Flair 

 

Embossed the card front with snowflakes and used some silver Inka Gold Metallic Rub. A few banners with the new paper from Stampin up. Inked up the trees and sentiment from Unity Stamps October 2013 kit of the month. Oh and my most favorite item is that little bit of glitter to the left of the trees... it's adhesive glitter ribbon from Close to my Heart.
