Pink Polka Dotted Gingerbread Man - Or: What To Do If You Eat Too Much Delicious Food During The Holidays...

This week's Res-Q-Challenge
was kind of complicated... In honor of all Alka-Seltzer, Pepto-Bismol and all these other things helping us to get along with all this wonderful food through the holidays, the challenge was to create a card with some food element, polka dots representing the bubbles of Alka-Seltzer, pink to represent Pepto-Bismol and some round element to represent Rolaids...
I found it extremely difficult to combine a brown gingerbread man brad (which was the only holiday food piece in my stack) with pink and polka dots, until I found a piece of this dp by Rayher...
The gingerbread man brad is by Hot Of The Press, the rickrack ribbon by Lil Davis Designs. The sentiment stamp is by Autumns Leaves, I punched away the center part which was a Christmas Tree to replace it with my gingerbread man.

Soft and Silent Snow

I really love this sentiment by George W. Bungay. I detected it on some Around The Block dp, and as it seems I was stamping snowflakes today all day round (well, at least those sixty minutes I managed to stay in my craft room, LOL), I thought this would be the perfect day to use this scrap on a card.
This week's Res-Q-Challenge was to use felt on a card. So I die-cut this felt snowflake with a cuttlebug die and added a rhinestone. I sponged the dp with Colorbox Fluid Chalks Blue Iris a bit darker in the top right corner to make the snowflake contrast a bit better. Snowflake dp by Frances Meyer.

A Really Red Reindeer...

Yeah! My first Xmas card this year!!! Yes, I admire all you well-organised ladies having completed your Xmas cards already in May...
I'm not sure if this card really counts for this week's Splitcoast color challenge - neutrals with a pop of color - it's more red with a pop of neutral, LOL! But it should count for the Splitcoast Clean and Simple sketch challenge, and as well for the ResQ Challenge (monochromatic holiday cards).
The card is very sparkly IRL as I used stickles on all the red circles, and the reindeer's nose is a red rhinestone.

Surprise From The Res-Q Team!!!

Recently I discovered a wonderful "medical" blog, the Res-Q-Challenge. It's a fantastic stamping blog, and their challenges often are about "medical" topics... not to be taken too seriously. I was totally excited when I discovered that blog and immediately sent a comment there. And what do you think? Today I received this wonderful blog candy from the Res-Q Team!!!!



Thank you so much, Jean, for sending these goodies to me - I love those bright pumpkins, leaves, owls and of course the clear stamps!!!!
