A couple of cards and a sneak peek

This is my second post for today so be sure to scroll down.

The sketch this week from Unscripted Sketches:

For my card I also incorporated the 365 Card Challenge today - fire.  This is also a sneak peek at some new CTMH stamps that will be available January 1 (Noted Backgrounds - love the herringbone!; and Candlelight (love these candles!)


Another CTMH card.  Just finishing up the last of my holiday cards.  Or so I thought.  Hubby just asked me if I could make 20 cards for him to give out to his crew!  So this weekend I am going to be busy as I have a couple more DT assignments to complete then the cards for him.  Ah, a weekend in my scraproom - nothing could be better!  This is for the Our Creative Corner Challenge this week - Snow or snowflakes, and the Stamp Something Challenge - holiday themed.  Again all supplies are from CTMH except the punch.  This is the fabulous Jingle paper.

    Both cards are just gorgeous! The holiday card is not conventional and that's what I love about it! Different colors but so festive nonetheless! Thanks for playing at Stamp Something this week and Merry Christmas!
