Treats So Sweet SQSC 12

Is anyone else getting hungry for all the great treats we have during this time of year?  I love to cook for other people and this is the perfect opportunity to go all out.  Kind of like having a potluck except I get to make all the food and my excuse is that we HAVE to have this much variety for the holidays. So my card for the SQSC Design Team has a baking theme. Enjoy and I hope you will be inspired to join in and make your own Holiday card for us to see. The sketch challenge is fun and sure to spark some creative ideas.

SQSC 7..another great sketch to try

Time for another sketch to stimulate your creative juices.  I am loving the Simply Scrappin' Kit "Christmas Lane" and as many of you know, I challenge myself each year to come up with as many card designs as I can with one kit.  I am on a roll so why not be inspired with Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge Blog for some of my cards?  Here is my design team entry followed by Cristena's sketch.  Head on over and check out the rest of the design team creations.

SQSC 6

 
It is that wonderful time of the week when we see what Cristena comes up with for a sketch challenge.  This week I saw Christmas using the Simply Scrappin' Kit "Christmas Lane".  I love these kits and love the challenge of finding new things to do with them.  The card was simple and quick to create (a real plus for all of us with busy lives). All of those fabulous strips of pattern are self adhesive die cuts!  You are really going to be Wowed with all of the great cards the design team came up with.  So head on over to the sketch challenge blog, be inspired, and share your very own creation with us.

Sketch Challenge 3 Vintage Look

 

Cristena from Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge has come up with another great challenge. (where does this girl get all these good ideas?!) I have felt inspired by the other design team members to get myself out of my designing box and use some paper that I had not really known what to do with.  I love everyone else's use...I just couldn't come up with my own.  Cristena's sketch pulled it all together for me.  Take a look at the Stampin' Up! designer paper "Beau Chateau".  Some of these sheets are perfect for scrapbooking but how do you use the large frame image in a card?  Remember, we are looking "outside of the the box" ;)   I even used the sentiment from one of the sheets. The stamped image from Welcome Christmas  is heat embossed in Stampin' Up!'s  Pewter found on page 31 in the new Holiday Mini Catalog released September 1st.  You can view and order from the Holiday Mini by clicking HERE.  Now onto to the sketch.  Let's see what you come up with and make sure to link your creation to Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge Blog before Tuesday. Try a new paper or stampset.  Not feeling the ideas coming on?  I know you will be inspired by the great group of Stampin' Queen designers.

 

Stampin' Queens Second Sketch Challenge

 
Love this new sketch challenge.  I immediately thought of stockings hanging in the place of tags.  Must be that I am tired of the heat and that I also LOVE the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini debuting on September 1.  This card uses the upcoming Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin' Kit and Stocking Builder Punch. You will be seeing lots more samples using these two items:)

Here is the sketch:
