CSAYL-Monochromatic

Good morning!  Happy Friday to you all!   It's time for this weeks Christmas Stampin All Year Long challenge.  Today  the team and I are keeping things monochromatic.  Using one shade of color.  I love the richness of red-brown tones and so that's what I chose for my card.

The stamped image is from Just Rite stamps and is stamped with Cranberry ink on Cranberry paper.  I had this great dp that has the same tones to pair it with.

I hope you'll join us in this weeks challenge.  It's a great way to get a jump start on your Christmas cards!

Until next time, have a great day and thanks for stopping by!  TTFN

Hugs, Becky

Should old aquaintance be forgot and never more to roam.....

Happy New Year and welcome to 2009. I hope everyone had fun celebrating the passing of 2008, we sure did.

While 2008 will be forever etched in my mind, I am more than happy to see it's passing and to embrace the wonders that 2009 has to bring us.

I have a few Christmas cards that I made left to show you and then I am moving onto other things. Yeah! I can hear you all cheering all the way from here. LOL

This first one I made using the wonderful gifts I recieved from Catherine. This was super easy to create because the DP already had the layout printed on it. All I did was add the stamped image and some embellies and it was done. Easy, peasy!

This next set was made for a gift exchange at work. The basket was filled with some yummy Key Lime Almond Bark candy that I made. That card is one of those pop up gift card holders they had featured in a challenge on SCS and was perfect for the Target card that I gave. My coworker loved it!

This last card was made using my wonderful Just Rite stamps that I recieved from my SBS2 sistah Alana right before Christmas. I had some red cellophane left over from my gift wrapping and thought it would be fun to try and stamp on it with my White Stazon. I really like the results and will have to remember to try this again. The wreath was made with my MS fern punch and red stickles.
