This is a OSW I did for a Workshop. I cut up one sheet of each design and gave them their choice for each card. We did 10 cards all of them different.

CASE'd off Pinterest

For Lauries Birthday

A challenge on SCS was to CASE your own first upload

This set of cards I found the music to O'CHristmas Tree online and I made it into card fronts.

Then I  I used Perfect Pines for trees on the front of the cards










On the inside I printed out the story/history of the Christmas tree....at least one of the many stories I found online.

Christmas cards for 2018

If it's not for a specific person, my cards are normally in groups of 6.

 These 2 were for a workshop, I couldn't decide which would be better so I flipped a coin... The white one won! Ended up selling a few of that bundle!! Yay!

 These were also for a workshop. Hated the one one the right. Lol I saw it on Pinterest, had to try it. I failed.

 Another for a workshop...copied from  Pinterest...loved this one so much I made 6 for personal use. And sold several of the bundle for this set also.

 Lovely as a Tree, Stampin Up! Set and I used Dies by Dave.....had to have them!

Valentine's from hubby

He was just sitting around being goofy. They turned out pretty good.

Double Z Cards

 This one I made for my nephew. Just to send him mail.
I put a note in that told him not to let his mom take it apart to get measurements. LOL
I sent her a togetherness she had to come to my next workshop to get the instructions.

These i made for my grandchildren.

Hello

Using up more Mint Macaron and some Black Berry Bliss.

In my opinion, this image from Birthday Blooms gets neglected......at least I haven't seen it on Pinterest.

The card I CASE'd was a layout off Pinterest, but  they used Vintage Leaves.

Happiest wishes Roxanne

Diamond plate texture embossing folder, lots of labels frameless and birthday  thinlit and an old stamp set found at a hard sale...Born to Ride.

Used up so old cardstock, Mint Macaron,  I have so much  cardstock that needs to get used up so I can make room for new stuff.

Basic Grey ink and Smokey Slate cardstock on and of  course Whisper White.

Butterfly Birthday

I'm trying to use up some of the retired cardstock to make room for the cardstock that will retire in June.I

I do miss Watermelon Wonder. I was hoarding it...I know bad bad bad.

I realized the "Retired Cardstock" bin is too full to add more. I told myself I'd only allow ONE for retired cardstock, but I have 4 of PHD's.....projects half done. Lol

 i haven't even bought the new in colors for 2017-2018 so 😢

Basic Butterfly stamp set has a beautiful fern leaf..💘 it! But it also has a few pieces I just haven't uninked so I used one here.

Dragonflies on lemon lime

Found a card on Pinterest, but hers had butterflies.
Used up some in color...Lemon Lime Twist.

Mural from hotel

This mural was nailed to the wall in the basement of the hotel in Hinckley, MN. 

Many years ago it was a part of (connected by an under ground tunnel) Cassidy's Restaurant. 

This canvas is 4 feet tall, and over 20 feet long. 

I have no use for it and want to sell it.

If I am unable to sell it, I think I will cut out certain areas and mount them for myself.

 Can you see the deer on the left? One is near the waters edge.

This painting represents either the St Croix River or Grindstone.

 I can't find an island on the Grindstone though

Here's a close up of the Indian village and deer.

Painted by J. Ahibom in 1965
I can not find anything on this person.

Carols Of Christmas

This stamp set and coordinating Thinlits, Card Front builder is brand new.....I Love it!

 

Don't look too closely at my deer....

I can not seem to stamp him out and cut it without chopping him off somewhere! LOL

A little piece of Gold Foil behind the starry cutt outs...so pretty and I used a leaf from Vintage Leaves Thinlits to cut snow using the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter paper

I just love the Card Front Builder, it is so pretty!

For the alphabet Challenge

 I combined the letters O and T.

For O I used Old Olive and printed out the music to O Christmas Tree. 
For the letter T I used Perfect Pine TREE, Dani double challenged us to do something time related so I put a print inside the story or meaning of the Christmas Tree and how they ended up coming indoors for Christmas
.

O CHRISTMAS TREE!

Perhaps the most beloved of all Christmas traditions is the custom of the Christmas tree.  

Christmas trees have been a part of celebrations worldwide for thousands of years. 

Ancient Romans viewed the trees as a sign of life in the midst of Winter.  In Great Britain in 

Victorian times, trees were decorated with candles to represent stars.  In Germany, the first 

Christmas Trees were decorated with edible things, such as gingerbread and gold covered 

apples. 

The first person to bring a Christmas Tree into a house, in the way we know it today, may have

 been the 16th century German preacher Martin Luther. A story is told that, one night before 

Christmas, he was walking through the forest and looked up to see the stars shining through 

the tree branches. It was so beautiful!  He went home and told his children that it reminded 

him of Jesus, who left the stars of heaven to come to earth at Christmas.

One thing is for certain.  Whether big or small, wide or tall, Christmas trees bring the magic

 of Christmas into our hearts and our homes.

For the Alphabet Challenge

I combined, P which the challenge was to PAINT, so I used my Aqua Painters. 

Q a card some one could recreate QUICKLY.
