Simple, Easy 5 in 1

Hello everyone,
.
I decided to go with a simple, easy, and quick card today. I finally got rid of my migraines (they were due to allergies) and ended up with a massive head cold. 'Tis the season right? LOL It was a little difficult to take a pic. seeing the metallic silver kept wanting to shine the flash, but I managed to get a decent one. Sorry for the bright flash in the corner.
.
I found the challenges to give me inspiration in making my card today via The Daily Dare.
.
My first challenge is for today's Daring Cardmakers 'I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas Challenge where we were to make a Christmas cards that is mainly white with just a hint of coloring on your embellishments or stamped image. My hint of coloring, of course, is silver. I have never really made a mainly white, simple and easy card before. This was pretty cool!! LOL
.
Next, this is for today's No Time To Stamp's Stamp Simply #115-Mass Production Challenge where we were to create a card that is SUPER easy to mass produce — like once designed you could realistically sit down and do 6 or 8 or more within an hours time. This card only took me 15 minutes to make and will be easy to produce many quickly.
.
This is for today's Paper Cutz Challenge #19 where anything goes, and for today's Paper Makeup Stamps Challenge where we were to create anything holiday/Christmas.
.
And finally, my layout is yesterday's Our Creative Corner Challenge which is the Stamp and Smiles Sketch Challenge #42
.
My card is quite simply made. I finally used my Winter House Cuttlebug folder I have had for over a year, but never managed to use. I sprinkled to snow with Dazzling Diamonds, and embossed the saying from SU!'s Solemn Stillness set in Silver EP. My ornaments are just circle punches with Cuttlebug Snowflake Diecuts covered in Dazzling Diamonds centered with a rhinestone, and holiday silver wired ribbon. That's it!! Simple huh?

What do y'all think?

Angel's Landing DT Challenge










Hey everyone,
.
Yesterday, I registered to start college to get my PHD in psychology. I am going to become a therapist. I have had many signs that maybe this is my calling so I am going for it. My BFF and I have also decided to look into opening our own roller skating rink. There is only one here in Jacksonville, Fl and it is all the way over in Mandarin which is about 45 mins for just about everyone. Anywho, tomorrow morning, I have to take my college placement test. I know I will do good in reading and English, but my math is a little rusty since I haven't been to school in 20 yrs. So, today I am going to study. Guess I have to get use to that!! LOL Before I go study though, I wanted to show you what I came up for the Angel's Landing DT Challenge for this week.
.
This, of course, is for this week's Angel's Landing Blog DT Challenge. Judi has challenged us to 'Think Small'. We had to create something that was 3 x 3 or smaller.
.
For my 'Think Small' challenge, I chose to make a 3 x 3 Notecard Box with notecards. I used the images from the Toys On Wheels set colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits. My main image was printed twice and colored. I cut the wheels out of one of the images and popped them up with demensionals onto the second image. My embellishments include ribbon, and tiny hands and feet buttons.

Angel's Landing Peguin Chicks


Hello,
.
I am so late on posting this. I swear, the powers that be just would not let me get home today so I could upload this card. With hubby, and oldest being sick with a nasty stomach bug, my youngest needing to go to school, my oldest needing a school project turned in today while she is sick at home, helping a friend in a panic to find an outfit for this weekend, appts, and picking my youngest back up from school, I am amazed I am actually finally home so I CAN upload this.
.
This is for my Angel's Landing Blog DT card for the week.
.
I has chose to use images from the newly released Penguin Chicks. I used Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits to color my images. The Cuttlebug Snowflake folder was used on SU! Shimmer White paper for the background layer. For my finishing touch, I added Dazzling Diamonds to snowflake brads and the snow on the sentiment.
.
