Sketch Challenge at Repeat Impressions

Good morning, Friends!  Today is Sketch Challenge Time at Repeat Impressions.  Here is the sketch Wendy has prepared for us.

And here is my card.  It was created for some friends in Colorado -- who already have snow!  YIKES!  This uses the Penguin images -- which I love called Knit Cap Penguin, Ear Muff Penguin and Snowflakes - which I cut apart and stamped individually in different colors of blue and I added the sentiment "Got Snow".  The Penguins were cut out using my Maker.

This would be a good week to join us in this challenge.  You could win the $25.00 gift certificate that Wendy is offering in a random drawing.You don't have to use Repeat Impression stamps but if you do, your name will be entered twice (2x) for a random drawing for a really nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.

Anything Goes for this Challenge

This is always a fun challenge for me!  Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions says it's "Anything Goes".  So use a card -- or project you have been saving -- any project, any size - hey how about a treat bag or box?  That would be fun to see!  Here is mine - a card using a "build a wreath" stencil.  I used the stamps called Birch Leaf, Falling Leaves and Acorn with my favorite A Happy Hello sentiment.

Pick of the Week Stamp from Repeat Impressions

Good Morning!  Today Wendy, owner of Repeat Impressions is allowing me to pick a few stamps to showcase.  I'm taking the opportunity to make my Christmas tags.  I always postpone wrapping my Christmas gifts and usually find myself wrapping late into the night.  This year - at least I'm going to have my tags made. 

Here are the stamps:

All of us....
Santa Hat Penguin
Candy Cane Penguin
Merry Christmas
Believe
Do Not Open
Blue Spruce












Other supplies:
Red, Green, Black Ink
Stamping Platform - Misti
Tag Dies
Copics
Christmas Ribbon for ties
Star sequins
Wink of Stella pen


First I die cut 3 different tags, cutting them 8 different times - this took about 10 minutes
Then using a stamping platform (Misti) I stamped all the tags.  Next I quickly colored the few that needed it with copics.  Most I just stamped with colored ink.  This took about 10 minutes also.

I used Christmas colored or gold cardstock - making sure the back side was white or cream (2 were red and 1 clear cardstock).

The last step was to tie ribbon on all tags, add little stars on top of the trees, and use Wink of Stella on a few to highlight.

In less than 30 minutes I had 24 tags made.  I think having all the supplies out and organized made this go quickly.  I felt like I had accomplished a lot making nice little stacks of tags.

Thanks for looking at my tags.

It's Up In the Air Challenge

Hello Friends!  This is such a great challenge this week from Repeat Impressions!  I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  This summer I got to see a mom and 3 baby loons and I immediately thought of the loon images Wendy has created.  Here is my card:

Wendy has drawn four different loons.   This is called Loon with Chic and the sentiment is called In All Things....
