Couple of Cards

Here are a couple of cards I made this week.  the first one is from a challenge site called Try Stamping on Tuesday.  The sketch is to the left and my card is below.  I used MME Fine & Dandy papers.  They came in a 6x6 paper pack from Michael's.  These little packs of paper are perfect for cards.  With these papers I made this card in less than 10 minutes.PERFECT!

This card was made for the July theme over at 52 {Christmas) Card Throwdown.  The theme is wreaths.  I am not in love with how it came out, but I made it so I thought I would share.  The snowflakes are from American Crafts.  I had them sitting around for years so I thought I would use them to make a wreath.  I found this scrap of GRAY (it looks brown in the picture) snowflake paper by KI Holiday collection.  Then I added some Doodlebug bling.

As I was linking my cards up to their respected sites I saw that I got a top three recogintion over at Try Stampin on Tuesday!   Woo Hoo! 


Thanks for stopping by......
Have a  blessed day!

You are an awesome card crafter, but I absolutely LOVE the first one! Staples are such a simple and fun addition to any card or layout. Beautifully used here!
