Santa's got nothing on me...

I have rarely been posting beyond my weekly challenge card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The past few weeks I've been working whenever possible on craft projects. Last weekend we did the big Hatton craft show, where we were invited to participate in a local craftshow in December. I don't want to have to do a marathon of last minute projects like I did for Hatton, so I've been working on projects pretty steadily this past week.

Here are a few samples of the "Candy Bar Sliders" that I made. (K. Werner has an awesome tutorial her blog.) These are always popular at craft shows, especially around the holidays. They make great stocking stuffers or Secret Santa gifts.


For my images, I used a Gingersnap digital image, a Santa from a retired TAC set, and a caroling Milly from DigiStamp Boutique. I bought this striped paper a few Christmases ago at Hobby Lobby. It's cardstock and is just the perfect weight for making the sliders.

Come back Monday night for a peek at another Christmas project.

Making a Scene

I love the challenges on the DareU2Digitamp blog! They are always so much fun. I try to play along whenever possible. This week the challenge was "Make a Scene". I used the adorable springtime Gingersnap digistamps from All That Scraps. (I confess I bought them several months ago and hadn't used them yet! That's what I love about challenges - they help you dig into your stash to play with your ignored "toys".)

Supplies: Gingersnap digital stamps (All That Scraps), Urban Prairie (Basic Grey), Marth Stewart cardstock (base card), Copics, watercolor crayons and Niji waterbrush (background), ribbon from Michaels, pop-dots.

More Gingersnaps Snowbunnies

I still can't believe I have my *February* cards done for the monthly Christmas Card Challenge over on Splitcoast. I had SO much fun coloring in these images with my new Copics. I think I'm finally done with looking at red & green for a while, though! ;-)
