Simple Christmas Cards!

For October's second Serendipity Challenge we are keeping things simple!

I chose stamp from the new Christmas stamps and kept it to three colors. I had the urge to add glitter and had to keep myself in check, simple!

Supplies:
* Tree Flourish Large (1234G)
* Simple Merry Christmas Small (1035D)
* Red card base finished size 4" x 4"
* White Cardstock 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
* Ink Green and Red
* Green Ric Rak

Directions:
~ Stamp the tree towards the top side of the white square in green. Stamp Merry Christmas at the bottom using red.
~ Attach white square to red front. Tie the ric rak around the top of the card, and you are finished!

Elk county and a surprise...

so it seems like every year Jac and I make the trek to Elk County with my parents to see the Elk now they are huge and beautiful animals but I always have an ulterior motive.... BEARS! Yes I think I may have been the last person in Pennsylvania to not see a black bear! This year I finally fixed that with not one, not two, but three bears together!

Here we have the biggest Elk of the trip.... just hanging out by the side of the road eating.. it was also the rut season so we got to hear lots of bugling which is super cool!


Jac at the Elk Center in the discovery room!

Although the turkey fan looks great at as a headdress, that's not where turkeys wear theirs....



And last but never least... the bears.. okay so I got super excited and didn't get any great pictures, but that little black blob to the left of the house, baby bear I swear it...

So my mother and her cohorts at work have a weird sense of humor. When someone has surgery or some such thing they make a party out of it. In this case someone is having their gallbladder out becuase of stones... so hence the stone theme! My mom asked for a cute pet rock with sticky up hair and a bow! And this is what I came up with. Of course at work today she will certainly pass this cutie off as her own!

Hobby Time!

Challenge: Create a card based on your other hobby or the hobby of someone else!
Using the sketch below!


So I chose hunting which is very popular in my neck of the woods, especially at this time of year!



Since the finished card is small 4" x 4 1/4" I decided that I would only use a portion of the stamp I chose. I just love how that turned out, gives a whole new look the large stamp it started out as!

Supplies:
Buck stamp (116L) Serendipity Stamps
Card Blank (finished size 4" x 4 1/4")
Patterned Paper
Ribbon
Brown Ink
Sponge

Directions:
*Ink edges of pattered paper, and adhere ribbon around middle.
*Stamp part of buck image on small square and mat with brown cardstock. Lightly ink over the image as well as the edges.
*Adhere image to center of card. Adhere patterned paper to card front!

Sweet and simple on this one, but it still looks finished and polished to me!
