Saturday Cinema Challenge

I am just LOVING these challenges. This week is Nightmare Before Christmas what a fun movie for a challenge. I went for a 5x7 card for this one so I would have lots of room to play. I used Bazzill paper, Tim Holtz stamps (swirls and lines on the tree) Clear embossing powder (it has a little black in it too that makes it silvery) I used my new dimensional pearls on the tree and Tim Holtz ink for some shading. Also misc. brads etc for the tree. The inside of the tree is 4 layers of UTEE with the swirl stamp pressed in it. Well here is the card:

Tracy your card is Genius!! I love that part of the movie where he is in a circle of trees in the forest for all the holidays and how he opens up the tree and goes into Christmas Land - your card totally captures that awesome moment (love the little tag from Sandy Claws - that totally made me crack up!!) Very very very cool!!!

I am sorry for not coming over sooner to comment - its been a rough week over here with my daughter being sick and then my son just got sick too - so its been quite full of fevers, throwup, crankiness and drama! But what a total pleasure to come over to your site!! Hope you are well Tracy! We are coming up to MN in Dec. hopefully if you are around - it would be great to meet!

Hope your weekend is going well!!
Best wishes,
Sankari :)

Tracy,
I am so embarassed! I thought I had left a comment on you blog. What a dork I am. It's been one of thoses weeks. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED you card. You were so out there in the creative mojo. Hats of to you for thinking ourside the box on this challenge. I though about the Christmas aspect but never got back to it. I love all the texture and movement you have on the card. I just loved looking at all the details. The cute little candy canes. And when I realised that the Tree opened it was jaw dropping. You sealed the deal there baby. This card just made my day. Way to totally Rock the Challenge.. It's Audry-licious Baby!!!!

I will miss him - he died this morning unexpectedly from a heart attack - he was 80. (thanks Karen for the help with the brads)

KWerner Color Challenge

In the worlds of Everclear (Warning: obscure song by obscure band reference but it has been running through my head this morning!) "Here we go again... I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... I know you had your doubts, I know you think I am crazy, I know your just like me!" here is my KWerner challenge. Yes I WAS going to spend all evening making gifts for my friends YES I did get distracted by this challenge. But it is TOO fun! Here are the colors that Kristin chose this week -- -for me it was a challenge! These colors are suppose to go together? hmmmm. Did I mention I LOVE these challenges. I got a box today from LoriMart (wooohooo) so I was all about using some new stuff. Oh and I HAD to use the template that Kristin offered up to every one with that beautiful swirl. Lets see - I used my Heidi Swapp mask with the Tim Holtz mini misters (mister contained worn lipstick and perfect pearls) to to make the swirls (and the heart in the title). The card itself is Bazzil, I als...

I just need to start packing. So I took a break and made a card. This is for Challenge SCTL7 http://stampinglinkstolove.blogspot.com/ . This week is just add leaves. You need to have at least 5 leaves on your card. Here is my entry. Since things have been so sad around here lately I wanted to remind myself to smile The paper leaves are from Prima and the brad leaves are from my stash. The paper is from Basic Grey and Bazzill and yes it is the same paper as on the last card. The smile is a sticker - I dont remember the vendor but I got it at Target. The stamp is from Northwoods - (background on the paper) I used Ranger esspresso ink with vintage photo distress embossing powder. Everything is inked in ColorBox ink from a Que. The bling is from Kaiser. It may not be my best card but it made me smile! edit: To answer a question: the paper is Desire and Pearl from the Scarlet Letter Collection from Basic Grey --- this is the 8x8 paper version which I like better for card making --- I know n...
