It's A BIG Day!

It's a GREAT BIG day because we get to start posting the cards using the new stamps from Clear Dollars Stamps that will be released on November 1, 2008! The stamp I used to make these three cards, "Majestic Mountains", will be released on November 1, 2008 by Clear Dollar Stamps. Please go to http://www.cleardollarstamps.com/ to see the GREAT stamp sets already released and start making your wish list. I know that I have a really long wish list already....

The first card was made using Craft Ink and White Embossing Powder on Night of Navy cardstock. I also used an embossing folder to texturize the white layer. The cute little snowman is part of a stamp set also being released on November 1 by Clear Dollar Stamps.

Thinking Pink!

This card was made for the Color Challenge this week, using Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, and Kiwi Kiss. I usually really struggle with the color challenges, but how could a person go wrong with this one!
