M.A.G. Challenge #8

This week at M.A.G. Challenge we used the PDDU cart, page 48.  These are challenging because you can only use the images on this page, no body on the page:)  I started going through my stamps and I knew what I would make.  I cut the horse @ 4".  The sentiment is My Pink Stamper.  I am actually pretty happy with it, I just wish I had made it bigger.  Thanks for stopping by, visit MAG Challenge and join in!!!!



Challenge #7

This week at MAG Challenge, we used the Paisley cartridge. We had to use page 59 only and create a project. Well, I wanted to make a card for my husband, he is so great in so many ways!!!  I am going to sneak it into his lunchbox:)  I chose to use the hearts, they are cut @ 3.5", 3" and 2.5".  The sentiment is $1 stamp from Big Lots, embossed with white embossing powder.  I used Traffic Jam cuttlebug folder.  Make sure you stop by MAG Challenge, we have Gigi from The Cricut Bug she is our Guest designer!  She did a awesome job and we are so happy she joined us this week.  So, please stop by MAG challenge and join our challenge!!!!

MPS/ Partytime Tuesdy and PKS challenges

Wow, I feel like it has been such a long time since I have made anything and posted.  I stole some time today to make some cards. I just got some new Pink Stamper stamps and really wanted to use them.  So, I decided to use one of my favorites, Create a Critter.  I cut the crab @ 3".  The balloon is 2".  I really like it, but he has a bruise above his eye:)  Well, that's the story I am telling:)  I will be entering it in several challenges!

M.A.G. Challenge by the Page #1

Good morning,

I have met two great friends, Melissa of MoeCreations and Gloria of Girlia Cards.  I recently started skype-ing with them.  First a blog, now skype, wow!  So, last night we decided we wanted to start challenging ourselves.  The rules:  select a cart we all have, blindly select a page, create any project using that page only and it must be completed by Wednesday evening.  Wow, what fun:) 

So, this week challenge #1 is page 92 of the Celebrations Cart.  I knew it would be something birthday, who'd figured:)

So, I found a site called Clean & Simple, they had a sketch that I really liked.  Now I knew what to do.  So, the challenge has officially started.  If you would like to join in with us, stop by our new challenge blog:  M.A.G. Challenge by the Page to link your great creation.  Ok, Melissa ur turn, since Girlia has already done such a fabulous project!  TFL:)
