Patterned Pines

It is getting so hard to keep up with all the fabulous challenges out there. You know I luv a sketch challenge and there are tons of them. I have been combining lots of them together, but I am going to start posting more than one each post, I am running out of days of the week...lol. The first challenge I want to tell you about is The Color Throwdown #69, this is my first time playing along with these gals. The colors are wonderful for Christmas so I made Christmas cards to add to my growing pile, but hey I will need everyone of then.

The first challenge up is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC45, I adore this sketch, perfect for quick cards. The second sketch is a brand new challenge it is called Everything But The Kitchen Sink, EBTKS1. There will believe two challenges per month, you can had ove and check it out.

I used in these cards the new SU set that has the three trees, I cut them apart to make single trees and can stamp them together if I want. I am taking all of my SU sets and making them "naked", (taking them off the wood mount) and then I will be able to adhere them to clear blocks. Have you heard? SU is going red rubber acrylic mounted, I am totally thrilled and cannot wait to order my first "naked" set....hehehe.
Be sure to come back in the morning I will have the Mojo Monday Sketch for ya. Enjoy your evening!
