This is a sketch challenge on SCS. I am loving the Member Companies section of the forum. This is for MFT
Did you all know that they are rolling out 3 more new sets tomorrow? OMG, I swear, I'm going broke just to buy their stamps. Nah, but they do have really good clear, sharp images. On top of that, it's very chic and very updated to today's time.
Anyway, don't just sit there, go over to SCS now and check out their forum. It's da bomb!
Supplies:
Cardstock: SU
Patterned paper: Paper Salon
Stamp: Shower Time

Uh-oh, I'm tagged
I've been tagged Estivalia over at Paper Leisure.
What we do is list out 10, 20 and 30 years ago and tell what we were doing at that time. Then you “tag” some other bloggers and go back and comment on Relevant and let her know.
10 years ago… Hmm... I had turned 21, so prolly been drinking and partying like there's no tomorrow.
20 years ago… Well, guess that'll make me 11, so prolly in school. I didn't have much interesting things happening at that time.
30 years ago… Haha, I was literally a baby then, so I'm guessing I was crawling around. that's funny...
So, I tag…
* Linda SS
* Wife2TJ
* Andrea
Hope the girls play along

Man, CardStudioDesigns.com is down and now I have to work. Boooo! Actually, I've been lurking alot on SCS too. Wish I'm home to play w/ the new sketches and techniques that are posted. The ladies are so talented. Gosh, wish I have the time.
Anyway, I'm just happily chucking along here, just got my review done yesterday. I hate the first part because they want you to do a self-evaluation. I hate that part of the process because they want you to say things (good/bad) about yourself. Well, nobody wants to point out their faults, that's just bad marketing all around. But on the flip side, I can't just say that I've worked my butt off and I'm the rockstar of the group, give me a raise. So, that's the hardest part.
The second part is a sit-down w/ my boss, that part I'm ok with. I like her, and she and I have been working together for a while now. So, my official review is like a chat w/ a friend. So, that's cool. Basically, I came out unscathe, not that I expected anything but still you never know.
Anyway, I'm in such a good mood that I'm sharing another holiday card with you. This is made w/ the Making Memories Flock & Foil kit. Here's my thing w/ that, I love it, but it does get sticky and I do mean sticky. But, the outcome is awesome. You should totally try it.

Playing Snowman
Sorry guys, been a slacker again. Hee hee...
Well, actually, I'm working on 25 baby shower invite, so I'm a tad tied up. I've been wanting to throw a party, and asked my friend who's preggers if she wants a baby shower. She took me up on it, and now I'm working on the shower invite. I'm not going to get fancy w/ the food and stuff where I've seen some talented ladies would so the name frames or put a cute little cupcake tag for the cupcakes. I am taking it upon myself to do the games, but it'll be simple. Like guess the jellybean stuff or anagrams.
The main thing about doing invite is that I do get bored after one design. That's why I don't mass produce Xmas cards. I don't have the patient for it and I do get bored easily. One year, I remember I would stamp and emboss all the images one day, then color the week later, then add embellishment a week later. I get bored doing it that way. Guess I just like the creativity of the process rather than the product. Plus, some of the cards I like, I use up the supplies and make mass producing hard to do.
That said, I do alot of scrap cards if I need mass quantity in a short time and still create. It's fast and definitely cute. Alot of cute stuff aren't available on stamps so this is a pretty good solution.
So, this is Mr. Snowman goofing off. You wouldn't believe that most of the supplies here, I got from last Xmas clearance from various stores. I'd say some of the stuff I got for like 50 cents, and some for a dollar. But either way, this card doesn't cost as much as it could've been. I just love a bargain, what can I say. ;)

Trim the tree
Ha, more Xmas cards... I do plan on doing the MFT sketch challenge from SCS, just haven't got the time.
This is from a great set of cards at Paper Source. I think I score those at their warehouse sale, and since I went on Sunday they marked down the prices even more. Seriously, if you're ever in the Chicago area, that's where their warehouse is located, and if you can beat the elbows of anxious brides, you can pick up some pretty cool stuff.
That said, I go the card set from PS, was playing around w/ the birds. I contemplated on coloring the rest of the tree in, but also didn't want to overwhelm the card and myself with more color. It's pretty busy already. Don't you hate it sometimes you got a good basic sketch but you just can't stand it and wanted to add more to it. But by doing that, you just overwhelm the card, and go to the point of no return. That happens to me, especially I do so much DTP stamping that it can go to hades pretty quickly.
Anyway, that reminds me of a pottery painting that a bunch of my friends and I do. And one friend is truly artistic. She started painting a very pretty bowl but after hearing some bad news totally ruined it. So, we called it the Tempest bowl, nice on one side, not so much on the other.
That said, this is one of the ones hopefully not too overwhelming but still cute. I did colored in the birds to make them BlueBirds, but because the green cardstock has texture on it; it looks a little faint. But you get the point.

Drum roll please...
... *brum, rum, rum*....
Thank you to everyone for playing. Hope to offer more goodies soon and play again.
Ok without further adieu...
The winner is....
Jan Scholl, her guess: my guess is 666. I get over 2000 a day, so hopefully you are not in the crazy place I am.
The correct answer was 671.
Yep, I had 671 emails from 3 days of leave. Crazy, I know, but I usually get about 60-90 overnight, and don't know how many I get throughout the day because I delete them as soon as I see them. Like a little zapper.
Congrats to Jan, and please email me your info.
Hopefully we'll play again soon!

Alright, alright, I know you guys must be anxious to know who won... I will post the winner after 6p CST. It's all at home, and we do have one clear winner... I promise!
This is one of the cards I made during my mini hiatus. I swear I love this stamp soooo much. She's adorable and the puppy is too. No matter what, you look at them and you think: Winter. No doubt. I really need to use her more often, but there's so many Xmas stamps out there, so hard to choose...
Speaking of, I need to use my scallop punches more often too. Every since my Xmas box o' craft exploseded in my craft area, totally covered up the punches and not until I was shuffling stuff around that I see the box o' punches.... duh on me. I love it though, I can punch and punch all day. Everything frames better when they're in scallops, I swear.
Well, there's no bosses today thru Friday... so you know you what they say, Cats away, Mice come out to play. I have to say that I've gotten alot done and since I have a 200 pgs report, it's good to have some piece and quiet. Now if I can just get the IT guy out of my dept, he's not doing squat, I can do his job better than he can. That's just wrong in so many levels. Oy!
