Under the Wire

I was able to sneak in 2 more cards tonight for the World Card Making Day Challenges.  I got the last one uploaded to Splitcoast at 11:59 pm after having to reboot my computer and fighting with my photo editing software.  Phew!

The first card is for the challenge presented by My Favorite Things to use the colors Pink and Black and to add some bling to your card. I wasn't able to get my computer and my printer to play nice so I could print the free digi stamp from MFT, so I used a very similar stamp by Elzybell instead.

Paper:  Pixie Pink, Basic Black, White
Ink: Amuse Black
Accessories: Chrystals, Black and Pink Ribbon-Offray, Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folder

My second card is a quickie I did for the GinaK Color Challenge.  She wanted us to use Chocolate, Pumpkin and Vanilla.

I hope to do the sketch challenges that were posted at some point this week.  I had a lot of fun this weekend.  Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this weekend possible.

I actually made this card last night, after having cut the pieces for it Thursday for the FFC and then deciding my leaf image didn't fit the sketch I had in my head. So I went to work last night creating this card so I could have time to play along with the sketch challenge today. I open the the thread only to find that the sketch is the card I made last night and hadn't posted yet. That is too wild. I just had to post this now even though technically this card is for this week's FFC. I guess you all got a preview and I will be making a new one now to fit the challenge :)

Jacksonbell Sketch Tuesday

I decided to make a quick card tonight after dinner BEFORE I gave the girls their baths and had seen the sketch over on Jimmi's blog and thought I would give it a try. This was a fast and fun sketch, I'm glad I saw it.

Friday Fun Challenge #24

I am thrilled to be the newest member of the Friday Fun Challenge Team. I have taken way too long of a break from stamping and been working on specific projects lately and am happy to have the challenges to get me back to creating for me (and to share with you.)

Now to the challenge. This week's challenge is brought to you by Sherry.

Choose one of the outfits on this page and design a card around it. The site is NY & Co….my favorite clothing store. These are some of the new Spring clothes so hopefully you can come up with something fun and fresh.

These were my two favorite shirts:

City Stretch Check French Cuff Shirt in Bouncing Yellow

City Stretch Printed French Cuff Shirt in Sheltering Green

Here is the card that I came up with inspired by these shirts.


The colors reflect the colors in the shirts and the dsp is inspired by the pattern, I am so grateful that the colors happened to work out. If you look at the shirts there are buttons on the french cuffed sleeves, hence I added the buttons to the fold of the card.

Stamps: Always
Paper: Certain Celery, So Saffron, East Coast Prep dsp by SU!, Whisper White
Ink: Certain Celery, So Saffron, More Mustard
Accessories: Certain Celery Twill Ribbon, buttons
