Show & Tell With C.C.Designs

Wow, been a while since my last post. I have been quite busy with work, and in my spare time I have been starting to make my christmas cards. I have about 4 or 5 that are half done, and I will be uploading them soon.

I did manage to make a card for the new show and tell challange over at the all that scraps blog:

"This month the theme is a color scheme. Use Black, burnt orange, and tan in your project. It doesn’t have to be Halloween. Think outside the box but use the colors. "

Since I have been in the christmas card frame of mind I decided to try making a christmas card using these colours for the challenge. Now, in the end Im not entire sure I like the card, but I did have alot of fun making such and "outside of the box" christmas card.

ATS Fall Challange

So happy to finally get another chance to play along with the ATS Wednesday challange.. and this week is all about fall.

I decided to try and make a card using a more fall colour scheme since these are not colours I usually gravitate towards. Also, for something a little different for me, I ruffed up the edges a bit of my coloured card stock and inked them for good measure.



Here is the card:

ATS Challenge 90, sketch time

Phew.
I always find sketch challenges the hardest. I tend to have very plain and simple layouts, so when I play along with a sketch that has lots of layering or embellies etc. I find it quite difficult.

So when I saw this weeks ATS challenge was a sketch I almost didn't play along, but then I figured that they are called 'challenges' for a reason.
So, here is the sketch we had to work from:

Now, I know I didn't follow the sketch absolutly exact, but I feel that there should be some room for artistic leaway.
Here is what I came up with:

ATS Inspiration challenge

Over at the ATS Wednesday challenge blog they had a photo up, and we had to make a card based on the inspiration we got from the photo.

The part of the pic that stood out to me the most were the sunflowers that were on the little side table... I really wanted to include that bright yellow in my card.
Also, I wanted to include sunflowers, but since I had nothing of the sort, I used a flower punch, 2 shades of card stock, and a little bit of flock to make my own.
Here is the card:

ATS Wednesday Challenge: Christmas in July

Just a quick post with a card I did for last wednesdays challenge over at All That Scraps. The theme was Christmas in July, and I have to admit I felt a little strange making a christmas card in the middle of the heat wave we've been having here in Ontario.

In the end though, I really enjoyed making this card, and I love the adorable 'Trim the Tree' digi from ATS (you can't really tell in the picture but the ornament has sparkley gold bits on it, looks great in real life.)
