The Wild Woods @ 52 CCT
I woke up this morning determined to create a card for the The Wild Woods, October Theme Challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. We are challenged to use woodland inhabitants and/or trees in our creations. I immediately thought of my Darice birch tree embossing folder. I began by using it to emboss white cardstock. I attempted to add a background and wasn't happy with the results so instead I cut out the individual embossed trees and added detail with a bit of chalk. I layered the trees on the black cardstock and then created the tag with the deer to adhere over the trees. I added the red mat to help the tag pop and included a few holly leaves and berries to make it feel festive.

cut three triangles from green cardstock then added a bit of ink to give them a bit of texture. I created the texture on the red cardstock by scoring it on my scoring board.

Pink for the Cure @ Jingle Belles
Just a quick post to share this card for the current Jingle Belles challenge. It's all about pink this month! Steph and Lauren are generously donating $2.00 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for every card that is uploaded for the current challenge. I am so glad I found the time to create a card because the challenge closes tomorrow!

October Sketch at the Sketch File

I absolutely love the simplicity of the sketch. It lends itself nicely to combining pattern papers. I also love the large circle in the center, but feel free to change the shape of the center piece to make it work for you; it doesn't have to be a circle.

Let it Snow: CASE-ing Christmas # 30
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwyV-8E9Rr_uepV-jzPE_nCDM0XXWG4fwmdsCd_U-jdLr1eWF2k3YgngvnMqm7KemmjfoXwvCi-XoVeSKrtYvQgnX7by8alNHqC_O43NdaKKYAO9MooWzDVDOOdWxayLnOezduUvbLAbL/s320/1015.jpg)
I am in no way ready to start seeing snow fall but I was so inspired by Asha's beautiful card at CASE-ing Christmas that I created a snowy Christmas card. I was inspired by her inky background as well as her snowflakes. I began with a piece of dark blue cardstock. I used white ink to create the snow base at the bottom of the card and then used blue ink to create the night sky. I added tiny white snowflakes to the background with a white gel pen and bigger punched snowflakes to the foreground. I haven't used ink on a card in a long while and it was fun to create with it again. Thanks for the inspiration Asha!
