A Couple of SCS Challenge Cards

HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2012 - TO ALL!  I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!

Did  you all survive the holidays?  I, for one, am always glad when things get back to normal - but, then again, what is normal is different for everyone!

The top card was for the Featured Stamper 256 on SCS - LunarLana.  Lana has a splendid gallery - full of beautiful cards.  I chose a sticky notebook she made with a vintage telephone image.  However, I made a card rather than a notebook.  For me, it's rather a clean and simple card and I think it will make a good masculine card.

Stamp:  FreeVintageDigitalStamp
Paper:  Simple Stories Generations DP; SU CS
Ink: Computer

The second card was for TSC1230 on SCS as well - the challenge was to make a card reflecting something you like about Winter.  I can safely say that there is nothing I like about Winter - except maybe watching the birds feed and get chubby, especially the cranky Cardinals - they are quite pretty and regal.  I want Spring to arrive which means it's closer to opening the pool and getting the warm and wonderful sun!
