  Today is also Sketch Sunday over at the Stars and Stamps Challenge Blog and I invite you ALL to join in and create a fun card.  I have copied over the sketch to share with you and will be working on my card shortly!!

  

   I'm back with my afternoon update and also to post some new cards I created for a variety of challenges and also some for more I'll be adding to my Christmas collection.  My first card was the card I made based on the sketch above and the one I'll be submitting to OWH.   My image is from Bugaboo Stamps.

 
   This fun and playful card is being submitted to these new challenges -

• Operation Write Home - Stars & Stamps Blog Sketch Challenge - (No Glitter)
• The Stamp Man Challenge - Cards for Men/Boys - Christmas Theme
• Winter Wonderland Challenge - Winter Sports!

   I also created another sweet Christmas Card and my second card was created with Noelle, who is the newest edition to the Baby Bud Designs Collection.   She's adorable and makes a perfect card for the Holidays or a fun Winter card.   For this card I Paper Pieced her into a fun litttle Holiday outfit and then add white and red Stickles to her had and shoes for extra sparkle and shine.   I also want o encourage everyone to hop on over the the Baby Bud Designs Blog and join in our latest challenge.  Our theme for Challenge 2 is - Scallops, Buttons and Bling and you can find some fabulous inspiration from the Design Team on the blog.    Please remember that we ask that you create a project using a Baby Bud Image and we offer a Freebie on the last Friday of each month.  This challenge runs through Wednesday, November 24th (Noon) EST!   

   This card is also being submitted to these new challenges --

• The Crafty Pad - Challenge 97 - Christmas Sparkle
• Ellephantastic Challenges - Challenge #19 - Christman or Butterfly
• Christmas Stamping - Challenge # 70 - Stripes

   My final card today is another Christmas Card that I created to add to my stash and also some new challenges.  All three of today's cards were created with Digi Images, which have quickly become my favorite.   This card was created with a cute Teddy, named Brad and he is from StampFairy a new digi site I found this week over at CDAC. 

   For those who LOVE Teddy Bears, this one is really adorable!  I created this card with these challenges in mind -

• ABC Challenge Blog - Letter H - H is for Holidays
• A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge # 129 - Snow or Snowflakes
• Flourishes - Timeless Tuesday - Challenge FTTC92 - Glitter!!

   And I think that will be the last of my cards for today!  I am now going to load some more of my Cricut Cartridges onto my Gypsy and continue on that project.  I'm very happy to say that my Gypsy seems to be working out MUCH better and now that we have figured out all the bugs, I have been enjoyed designing with it.  I also wanted to mention that I did sell one of my Cricut Jukeboxes, but I still have one left to sell.  It's in excellent (like new) condition and it will ship in it's original box, complete with a cord and manual.   I bought it on sale for $39, plus shipping at Custom Crops, but will be happy to sell it for $35 with shipping included, or $25, plus shipping for those who may live close!  The shipping via Priority Mail is $15 in a large Flat Rate Box!  I accept PayPal Payments and can ship to the US ONLY!   If you are interested, please send me a message!  

   I am NOT trying to make any profit,  I simply want it to be put to good use and will also consider a Swap/Trade for other craft supplies!   Have a wonderful day and Happy Crafting!!
