Stamp Something Challenge--Pink, Green, and Yellow Somethings


I had to make a card today but was putting it off all morning because I just couldn't get an idea of how I wanted it to look. Then I found the Stamp Something Challenge blog. This week's challenge was to use the colors pink, green, and yellow (shades or hues didn't matter). Then I saw a Little Sizzle pad from Sizzix sitting next to my computer. On the cover was the sample of a page with green, yellow, and pink checks....PERFECT. Less than 20 minutes later I had created the card that took all morning to "figure out". Thank you to the Stamp Something Challenge Blog, you helped me find my get up and go!

Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch Challenge 4


The stamps at Peachy Keen Stamps are just too darn cute! This week's challenge is to create a card using their sketch, stripes, 3 buttons and a sentiment. I had to jump on this challenge because the blog candy offer is for a $20.00 GC to Peachy Keen Stamps. I have my eye on several so I immediately hopped onto working on this card. I originally thought I would give it to my mom to send to a cousin who just had surgery. But, the sentiment reads "too much of a good thing is simply wonderful" and since she was having surgery to remove a tooth (that shouldn't have been there in the first place), I decided to keep it until a proper occasion pops up. The challenge can be seen at Peachy Keen BlogSpot. Thanks for looking!

Creative Card Crew- Ribbon Challenge 18


This week's challenge at Creative Card Crew was to use ribbon. I find that I always try to use ribbon on a card but have a hard time matching or finding just the right one. The prize this week is from Craft Ribbons, boy do they have a great selection....(ps if DH is reading this my birthday is coming up soon). I made this card to send to a friend's daughter who just came here for a playdate to thank her for spending time with us. I usually use ribbon and tie a bow around the card, since this was a challenge I decided to use it in a different way. Enjoy!

Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch Challenge 2


I read about this challenge about 3 hours ago on http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/ and finally finished the card and scanned it in. I really like the sketch and it was perfect for the images I had picked out. The scan is crooked and blurry but it is late. I hope I can get a chance to take a picture of the card and post it as it should be.
Thanks to everyone at Peachy Keen Stamps..this was a great motivator!

This card has a quote, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams--Henry David Thoreau"


Well, you probably traveled here from Library Bunny's blog. Thanks for stopping by. I have been so busy the last few weeks with the end of school

that I haven't really created anything. This afternoon, though, I volunteered to make 4 cards for people who are leaving our school (one was put on transfer, and the other three got jobs at other schools). I came right home from school today and made two of them using my new "discovery"....digital stamps and sharpies. Thanks for stopping by and looking...

Happy Birthday Ben!

I would love to say that this was a quick little card, but it took me almost 2 hours total. I decided I wanted to create a Monsters vs. Aliens card for him because he LOVED the movie. So I got the bright idea to create a RoboMaster file to cut out Bob. (I found a coloring book page online, saved it as a jpeg, and converted it in RoboMaster). That didn't take very long. Then I cut all the colors (that didn't take long), glue it all together (not long at all). Then I tried to look for the perfect patterned paper, I found it right away (thanks Kpinsonat for the RAK). The sentiment took forever to find. I finally settle on the right one and now at 10:08 pm I am posting this card. Ironic part of it all...my nephew is only 5 and can't read yet!
