ICS140/CCC144

OMGoodness it's been one of those weeks, where

everything hits the fan at once. I've been crunched for

crafty time. With my card this week for both ICS and CCC

I've combined them.

Over at Inspirational Card Sketches our challenge is to use

this SKETCH:

We are being sponsored by  Bugagoo Stamps and

they are giving away a prize pack to one winner.

********************************

Crafty Creations Challenge is hosted by Peggy and she wants 

to see recycled item we have hanging around our crafting

tables or in our craft rooms. Easy and good for the environnement right!

Another great surprise again is that we are using Deena's images from A Creative Need Etsy shop and she has fun new ones for the upcoming holiday cards we are all scrambling to do. So make a card or any project using a recycled item and upload them here with a link to your blog for a chance to win your choice of 4 original images from Deena's shop!

Here's my card combining both challenges.

Mr. Snowman if from Deena's A Creative Need Etsy Shop

The Merry Christmas sentiment image is from Bugaboo Stamps.

Mr. Snowman is colored with copics. My recycled item is the clear

plastic packaging from Prima pearl swirls, cut with a Threading Water punch,

then painted with puff paint and tucked behind.

We hope to see you drop by both challenges this week.

Thank you for dropping by and have a great day.

HAPPY CRAFTING!
