Fall Card

It's swap time over at Paper Crafting Mania!  I made this card for the swap and also for Paper Playtime's Challenge!  (I like doing two things at once!)  I found a lady who was clearing out some of her extra stamp sets.  I bought this CTMH set for $7!  (I love a deal!)  I just had to play with it.  The ink is SU.  I used the rock and roll method for the leaves, which was quite a challenge because I mostly have Stampin' Spots.  The pattern paper is Recollections and the ribbon is Offray.  The buttons are from my stash.

NSD-My Pink Stamper-Challenge #2

This is my entry for the second challenge from My Pink Stamper. This challenge was to use your scraps! I had these left over from a card I did in April and I was waiting to get to use them! The paper is DCWV. The stamp and ink are SU. I blinged it up (is that word?) using Stickles! And there's another bow! The ribbon is from Offray.

My First Challenge

I am going to play all day today! I've got my IPod blasting and my cropping stuff out! There are several sights doing challenges if you are like me, stuck at home on NSD. So, play, challenge yourself, and have a good time! This challenge came from Glenda at Paper Crafting Mania. This challenge was SOOO much fun! She had you cut paper into several sizes:

Then you used 4 of the shapes and made your OWN card sketch! This is my sketch:

Then, you have to follow your own sketch! (Now really, how hard is that?) Here is the card that I made with my sketch:

The hardest part of this whole thing was tying the bow! Oh, I almost forgot, the pattern paper is DCWV, the pink is SU and the blue is CM. The ribbon is Offray from Joann's. I used the Happy Birthday embossing folder from Provo Craft.
