Snow Couple ~ QKR DT ~ Challenge #224

The QKR Stampede challenge for this week is to feature snow or snowmen.  You may enter up to 3 times by 3 PM EST on Thursday, Jan. 5.  If you are a winner, you will win some cute digis from the QKR Stampede shop.  This week I chose to use this adorable digi couple and the accompanying sentiment.  There are two anniversaries in our family this week, and this theme seemed appropriate.  In fact, the card is already in the mail!  I used Prismas for coloring.  The card is completed with the snowflake embossing folder (Cuttlebug) (on the top half of card only), some Washi tape, and a punched snowflake with glitter.

Santa - QKR DT card ~ Challenge #223

MERRY/CHRISTMAS!
This is of course the last QKR challenge before Christmas, and the theme is Santa.  If you visit the QKR blog you will see many cute images and inspiration for this week's theme.  Come join us, through Dec. 30, with your Santa card!  You may win some images of your choice.  The Old Time Santa image is colored with prismas.  I used a snowflake embossing folder, gold ribbon and gold star stickers.  The sentiment is from my computer.  I die cut it with a Nestabilities label die.  (Using the next larger die for a mat made the piece too big, so I cut a red piece the same size as the white and off set it for a bit of contrast.)
