Holiday Card Workshop - Day 1

Hey friends - popping in really quick to share two cute little 3"x3" cards, inspired by Day 1 of Online Card Classes Holiday Card Workshop.
Learned so much from the last workshop, that I decided to take another class...

These were fun and quick, and because they are only 3"x3", got to use up some scraps (which has taken over my desk).

Live well,
Trina

My First Christmas Cards of the Year

I cannot believe that I actually made two Christmas Cards today - usually I'm scrambling around, frazzled with only seconds left, trying to get cards made.  Not this year...I made a vow to myself that I would try to get as much Christmas stuff done by the end of November (this includes the shopping as well), so that I can actually enjoy what's happening around me...wish me luck :-)

The first card is for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch! challenge:


And here's one more - I combined this week's Runway Inspired Challenge and CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.

(LOVE this outfit!)

CTS#1 and CFC74

Hey friends, I'm back with four new cards, so let's get to it.
The first is for a brand spankin new challenge - CAS(E) this Sketch!  Very excited about this - lots of talented folks on the design team.

The next two is for CFC74...

...a fun one....
...and a sweet one...

And here's one more card that  I made for a sweet little girl turning five (and I can't believe I didn't use one single stamp!).  It doesn't show up very well in the pic, but I made the "5" extra glittery for the little princess, using a kaleidoscope embossing powder (it reflects different colors when looking at it from different angles).

Live well,
Trina
