Tis the Season

It is that time of year, and I am going to try to post a new holiday card every week until Christmas. 4 weeks = 4 cards! For my first card I used another Mojo Monday sketch.  

The Designer Series Paper is from the Trim the Tree Stack Pack. The cardstock is Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green. The Noel is cut from the Wondrous Wreath framelits. I searched all over the place for my Gold Foil paper, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I had to work around it. I used a gold sharpie and colored a section of whisper white cardstock. Here's a better picture of the shine. Sorry, its a little fuzzy. I really need to work on my photography skills.

Creative Challenges!

Welcome to this month's installment of the Jacksonville Starz Monthly Blog Hop. This month we decided to do a color challenge.

Even though I helped pick out the colors, I really had a hard time coming up with something, not to mention I had a creative block. I also found out that my Basic Gray Ink Pad is dried out, and I don't have any refill for it! :( I guess I know what I'll be ordering in the near future!

Anyway, I paid a visit to one of my favorite challenge blogs Mojo Monday to help get the creative juices flowing. Mojo Monday plus Jax Starz Color Challege equals this super simple cute card.
