Non-Traditional Christmas Colors

Here's another card that I've made for several challenges. Above all, this has been a challenge for me to use other colors than the traditional ones for a Christmas card. I wanted to give it a try (or maybe even succeed? :) ), because I love the green-red-gold combination in my Christmas tree and decorations and couldn't imagine myself going a different way... Otherwise I think this pink-brown combination is just gorgeous... Anyway, I would love to hear what you have to say about my attempt at using this colour scheme (hopefully I will get enough courage to be more open-minded about this). :) Also, I wanted to say that the ornaments you can see in the tree are actually hot pink, but because of the flash-light they have taken different hues in the picture. Thank you very much for looking!



The challenges I am submitting this card to are:

Our Creative Corner - Yummy Color Combo (light pink, hot pink, brown, white)
Allsorts - Snowflakes in September
365 Card - DIY Paper
Pile It On - Punches
Christmas Stampin' - Non-Traditional Colors
The Color Throwdown - Color Throwdown

Christmas sparkle

Here is another card this week, this time for Sketch Saturday. Another Christmas card, but I guess I will be glad when the season comes and I have all the cards I need to send ready... :) I admit I have a hard time trying other colours for my Christmas projects than the traditional ones. I simply adore Christmas!! I can't wait to decorate the tree again and do the shopping! :)

FALLing...

With both my little ones asleep at the same time (it rarely happens), I started making this card with several challenges in mind. Autumn is here for my cricket as well, but he is no different than the rest of his species: instead of making provisions for wintertime, he keeps playing his music... Is this for a Miss Cricket? :)



The challenges to which I submitted this card are:
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Fall into Autumn
Whimsy Stamps - Fun Fall Colors
PaperPlay Challenges - NO Patterned Paper
Digital Tuesday Challenges - Clean & Simple Fall Card

Frosty the Snowman

The newest card I've created is this one, for week #15 at Winter Wonderland. I had a separate image of this snowman, and I tried to imagine something about why it was so sad, and this is what I came up with: a little bit of grass piercing the snow blanket... It also sends a message that we should enjoy Winter and all the other wonderful moments of life, because you never know when they're going to end! I hope you have many beautiful moments in your life to enjoy to the full!

Red, White and Blue Man Celebration

I have just finished a card I made for two challenges: for Cupcake Craft Challenges where they asked us to make something using just white, blue and red, and for Allsorts, where we were challenged to make something for the males in our lives. I admit it was not very easy for me, but even the thing that I managed to make a card with kids needing me every two minutes it's a miracle in itself... :)

#43 Challenge - Just Christmas and Birthday Cards

I underestimated this sketch, I thought I would make the card in the blink of an eye, but I was wrong! :) Anyway, I loved the challenge, and I hope you like my creation. I used some glitter to symbolise snow, and the Christmas tree is made up of little gold stars. I can't wait to celebrate Christmas again, and my son too! He keeps asking for a singing Santa Clause we have to play with it... :)
