Creative Scraps Sunday Challenge


Okay, I have been debating about using this card for these challenges.  I probably should make a new one, but I was so tired when I finished, I just going to go for it! It is just something about her eye, I do not know what happen, so I learned my lesson and will not be making cards after 9pm while watching TV:)

I am entering this card at Techniques by Trish, this is there first Creative Scrap Sunday challenge.  This week is fall/Halloween using Paper Doll dress up and to add ribbon to your project.

Thanks for stopping by!

The Paper Variety Challenge



A friend requested a card for a baby boy!  I remade the airplane card because I think it is so cute!  I used different paper, my husband said he does not like it!  He made he second guess myself, but I got over it:)  I think I went a little too far out of the box with the colors :)  So, I am entering it in the Paper Variety Challenge.  For the challenge, you need to include something you see in the sky on the project.

Baby Boy


I made this card for a friend that is attending a baby shower.  The only request she had was I use the colors blue and purple.  I looked perplexed, ravaged thru all my paper stacks and single papers.  So, I pulled out everything, purple, blue or some combo of.  Well, here is the end results, I really like this.  My husband approves:)  The card is 4x9, I really like this size card.

Momo's Tuesday Challenge



Here is my creation for Momo's Tuesday Challenge.  This week's theme is to make a card for someone "Just Because"!!! The idea is that you send it out this week to someone and put a smile on their face "Just Because". You do not need to use the Just Because Cartridge, just a "Hello", "Missing You", Thinking of You" kind of card.   I got a call from a friend that is going thru "life" and we know that life sometimes beats the hell out of you.  I made this card for her because she like "piggies".   If she smiles, I succeed:)

Pattern Paper    Joann's
Solid Paper       Michael's

Hatty Birthday




A friend requested a card for her aunt's birthday.  The only information I received was she loves purple and church.  So, I figured a hat would meet the church criteria:)  And I used a lot of purple.  I even created my own background paper, so it would be in the purple family.

Momo Challenge/ Whimsical Wednesday Challenge




My sister's birthday is coming up this month, I needed to make her a card!  This card is for Momo and Whimsical Wednesday Challenge. For WWC, you had to use buttons, brads and/or bling.  So when I saw Momo's challenge this was my motivation.  The challenge is to make a project that's black, white and one other color.  My color was yellow.  I really do love this card for many reasons.  First, it's for my sister, she live in Atlanta, so I don't get to see as often as I would like:)  Second, I got to use a lot of stickles:)  Third, I got to use my new princess face Peachy Keen stamps and the best reason, I got to use my new Gypsy for the first time.  I love my Gypsy, I used the hide contour feature for the face.  I am still learning and feel so blessed to be able to purchase my Gypsy:)  Thanks for stopping by!!!!
