This week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious is a color challenge - Brown, Green, & Blue!  I LOVE this color combo!!!  Since we got dumped with a foot of snow last night I was able to work from home and fit in my challenge card in place of my commute!  I'm so lucky I didn't have to drive in that mess!  So since it's very cold and snowy I felt inspired to work with Stella tonight.  I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 105 for the layout.  The best thing about this sketch was that I used SCRAPS that were laying around on my craft table.  Love when I can put my scraps to good use.  I need to remember this sketch!

Totally Stampalicious is having a New Release and Blog Hop this Thursday (Feb 24) at 9pm EST.  One lucky winner will get 4 new stamp sets!  The stamp set I used for this card is one that I won in their blog hop a few months back!  So mark your calendar and hop over to the Totally Stampalicious Blog on Thursday.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card!

Big Red Bow Challenge

This week's challenge over at Totally Stampalicious is to use a Big Red Bow.  They also announced that they are looking for new guest designers.  How cool is that?  All you have to do to be considered for the guest design team is participate in their weekly challenges.  I just couldn't resist playing along!  Here is my card:

I've been wanting to make a card with my Stella Fireman Call Stamp and thought this was the perfect time.  I think red is Stella's color!  I am sure she loves the red bow I stuck on top of her party hat too!  Picking the color combo for this one couldn't have been easier.  What goes better with Firemen than Red, Black, & Silver?  I enlisted the help of this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge SSSC91 for the layout.

Here's a look at the inside of the card:
