I am sorry its been so long, however, going back to work has been a little crazy after being off for a year with my baby girl. Teaching 7 different subjects tends to take some prep time. I am hoping that I have got it under control now and will be back posting items very soon. Till then, here are a few of the things I have worked on and have just got around to putting up.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Crystal<br />

I have offered my crafting services to help raise money to support this great cause and will be selling cards at a local craft fair this Saturday. All proceeds go straight to helping Sam. Tonight we had a craft-explosion in my kitchen as we raced to complete a variety of goodies for our sale. I am glad to say I am finished with my contributions. Here are a couple of the cards I have made tonight. I can't decide which colour I like best.<br />

Punch out a number of snowflakes using the snowflake punch and Eclipse tape. (If you are using post it notes make sure to punch only where the sticky part it). Place these punched out shapes on the top two thirds of your 4x6 piece of glossy paper. Tear another piece of Eclipse paper, or post it notes, to create a mask that looks like a mountain and apply along the bottom third of your glossy paper.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; min-height: 1em; padding: 0px; position: static !important;">

Using various inks of the same shade, apply a gradation of them from light to dark (I used blues) to the top two thirds of the glossy paper using the brayer. See image below.</div>

Move the mountain mask down and brayer a different colour of ink onto the exposed part of the glossy paper. Repeat this step using different ink colours until your whole piece of glossy paper is covered. Remove masks and let dry.</div>

Voila you have a lovely background to place your image on. I completed my card by colouring my Two Turtle Doves snowman image with Copic Markers, Fussy cutting it out, and popping it off the page. I added some tree stamps and snowflakes punched out of glitter paper to add some bling. </div>

The DT have been creating goodies using any song/music as their inspiration. You can see a great assortment over at the blog and we would love to see you enter for your chance to win some great prizes from our sponsors.<br />
<br />
This week I used Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer as my inspiration. I thought it went so nicely with the Stamping Boutique's <a href="http://www.thestampingboutique.com/item_247/Santa-and-his-Reindeer-Digital-Stamp.htm">Santa and his reindeer</a> image. However, once I got colouring I realized something...Rudolph must have been taking a coffee break because he is missing. Oh well.<br />

Take a break from Holiday cards and come play along with me and the Design team with a lovely wedding creation for your chance to win some awesome prizes from our sponsors.<br />
<br />
This week I decided to go for the really clean and simple card. I just find it elegant and sophisticated. Perfect for a wedding. I used the Butterfly heart image and added glitter over the black parts of the image. Add a bit of red for some pop of colour and finish it off with some bling.<br />

This weeks challenge is all about Thanksgiving. Since Canada has already celebrated Thanksgiving, I have dedicated this weeks creation to the American Thanksgiving. I did this simply by adding red, white, blue, and stars into my design. I also used this adorable image <a href="http://www.thestampingboutique.com/item_250/AJ-the-Pilgrim-Digital-Stamp.htm">AJ the pilgrim</a> from the Stamping Boutique store. If you have never checked out their images you really should! Now is a great time to do so...they are having a 35% off sale. Make sure to stop on over at our <a href="http://thestampingboutiquechallengeblog.blogspot.ca/">blog</a> to check out what the other Design Team members came up with and to link up your lovely creations. Till next time have fun crafting.<br />
