MFT Sketch 400 - Ho Ho Ho

My idea for this week's MFT sketch challenge card came to me fairly easily, and it was quick and simple to make.  It's not a layout that I would have come up with on my own, and that's what I like about the sketch challenges.

I took a bit of liberty with the sketch and placed the stripes with a diagonal bottom edge since I thought that orientation looked good with the jumping Santa from the MFT Jingle All the Way set.

I started making holiday cards to donate to Send a Smile 4 Kids and Cards for Little Hearts the first week of July.  This card is number 60, and no two are exactly alike.  I think this one will be nice for an older, teenage child.

Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look at my card, and have a great day!

MFT Color Challenge 100 - Brrring on the Joy!

For the current MFT Color Challenge using Blue Yonder, Blue Breeze, Kraft and Persimmon, I made another holiday card to donate to Send a Smile 4 Kids.  I used Copic markers R05 and R14 for the Persimmon since it's the only color card stock I didn't have on hand.

The cute little girl sledding is MFT Dashing By.  The die cut snowman and trees are from the MFT Scenic Snow Globe set.  All of the MFT supplies are listed below.

MFT Sketch 399 - You're the Coolest

Today I have another card to donate to Christina Hor's Cards for Little Hearts winter card drive.

Recently I colored several images from the MFT Toasty Greetings set. Today I made seven cards with them, each one a bit different, but  two are suitable for this week's sketch challenge.

The images are colored with Copic markers, and Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents were added for some detail.  All of the MFT supplies are listed below. 

Thanks very much for stopping by, and have a great day!

MFT Color Challenge 99 - Happy Halloween

The colors for this challenge are perfect for a couple more Halloween cards for Send a Smile For Kids.  Instead of Latte, I used Biscotti.   Instead of Cement, I used Gravel Gray.  For Persimmon, a sheet of Calm & Cozy Chevron 6x6 paper worked along with a R05 Copic marker.  The black card stock is from my stash. 

Both of the maze cards I made are shown below, but I just entered one.  I think these maze cards are fun for kids who are spending Halloween in one of the hospitals around the country that SAS4Kids supports.

MFT Sketch 397 - Merry Everything

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.

I'm making good progress this week on Christmas cards to donate to Send a Smile for Kids and Cards for Little Hearts.   On Monday I used Copic markers to color enough images from the MFT Santa's Elves set for six cards, and this week's sketch was put to good use to assemble and finish off three cards using slight variations the sketch format on each card.

I always like to make a few holiday cards using unconventional Christmas colors.  I like the look of the olive colored tree on this card, and I think the little elf is so cute dressed in red and gold.  For the white base piece, I used a very old Creative Memories corner rounder punch since I don't have round corner rectangle shaped dies.  A checkerboard pattern was drawn on the bottom package for added detail.  Glossy Accents on the Elf's buttons and Wink of Stella on the bell, star and elf's fur trim finished the card.

Have a great day, and thanks again for taking a closer look at my challenge entry.  Your comments are always appreciated!

MFT Sketch 396 - Dashing By

After spending a few days making Halloween cards to donate to Send a Smile 4 Kids, I've gone back to making winter holiday cards, this one to donate to Cards for Little Hearts.  You can read about their year-round card drives here.

I love the cute MFT Dashing By girl on a sled.  It is easy to color with Copic markers and I've made many cards with it over the past two years.  I used the new to me MFT Snowfall horizontal die for the background and formatted my card to fit this week's MFT sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
