Getting A"header"

The current post at Jingle Belles Rock is all about their blog header!  To make a card inspired by their header is the request!

Here's the inspiration.....

and here is  my take on it......

when I looked at the header, I saw the scalloped edge, the silver snowflake, brown, teal and green combined.

Papers are from Carta Bella and Echo Park.  The "holly jolly" banner is from Authentique.  The burlap cutout is from my stash, the silver snowflake is from Making Memories and the buttons are from Doodlebug Designs.

All Bundled Up!

The current prompt at Jingle Belles is to "bundle up!"  Not with sweaters and scarves, but to bundle up the paper layers!

I have 5 layers here......besides the actual card base.....that would make 6 layers.  The wreath is cut from a recycled card.  All patterned paper is from an old 6x6 paper pack by My Minds Eye....Holly Jolly.

Stars & Stripes (not THOSE stars & stripes)

The prompt at Jingle Belles honors my beloved country!  In honor of last week's 4th of July holiday it's all about the stars and/or stripes!

While I have to admit that it's not the most creative entry, it fits the bill and fills my card basket for December!!

I've used a card front from a recycled card.  If you look closely the border and the diamonds on the pot are striped.  Also dont miss the star atop the tree!  Easy peasy lemon squeezy and in the stash it goes!

White Christmas?

Growing up in Michigan, I've had my share of White Christmases.....but now living in Florida.....not so much! LOL

This week's prompt at Jingle Belles Rock is to create an all white card.  Or in my case *almost* all white!

Some recycled card elements, some scraps of white/grey put together, stickles and pearls and voila'!  Grey/white polka dot on left is the back of a photo card, grey dot on the right is scrap.  Stars punched from a recycled card, Star Dust Stickles all over the stamped image and pearls purchased at WalMart!

Made it to 20 cards!  Not too shabby having 20 cards ready for Christmas in the middle of June!  *feeling accomplished!*

Christmas Bells

This week's prompt at Jingle Belles Rock is to have a bell.  After much searching (and lots of grumbling) I couldn't find one bell in any of my stash or years and years worth of cards to recycle! So what does one do when you don't have a pre-fab embellishment?  You make your own!  :)

Luckily my kids LOVE *love* LOVE perler beads!

The sentiment was taken from a recycled card!  I also feel that it needs something more.....maybe some bling or dots of some kind, but I'll keep looking at it and make a decision!

finished cards = 19

Tie on a Holiday Ribbon!

The current prompt at Jingle Belles Rock is to tie on a holiday ribbon!

I lifted this card directly from Pinterest! 

Image is from Unity Stamp Co., red ribbon was purchased from Michael's and the twine is from Bella Creationz.

card count up to 18!

"Home" for the holidays!

The current challenge at Jingle Bells Rock is to include a building of some kind on your card.

During the last challenge (earth day/recycle) I cut up a bunch of cards we had received throughout the years....I knew I had kept them for a reason!

Today's card is using one of those images I cut from a recycled card from last year.

It was difficult to get a good picture with our dreary weather today.  Background paper is from an old Fancy Pants paper pack.  Sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co.

p.s. card count update = 16 :)
