Black Friday Challenge...

I know I'm a little late with this one...

Stamp Something has a great weekly challenge, and I've been trying to participate. This week's challenge was in honor of "Black Friday", and I really kept with the theme, lol!


I think my card is very crisp and clean, very graphic. It was a little easier than I thought it would be, and for once, the card just flowed out of me. I loved that!

Thinking of You card details:
Stamps: Fancy Florals (Verve)
Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White (SU!)
Ink: Basic Black, Versamark
Accessories: Dotted Swiss embossing folder (Cuttlebug), ribbon, embossing powder

I hope you like my card! And thanks for looking!

Color Throwdown #18/CCEE Stampers Challenges!

Quiet house, lots of cards...and boy-o-boy did I have fun!

I found yet another challenge, a sketch challenge, at CCEE Stampers and I combined it with another of my favorite challenges at Color Throwdown.


I have to admit I didn't see the part about using eyelets. I did read the part about changing the square on the card to another shape, so why didn't I see the addition of eyelets? Hmmmm...


The Color Throwdown colors are Old Olive, Chocolate Chip and Pale Plum. I had to use a little Perfect Plum ink. I needed to do a little more work on the fairy and I couldn't keep adding more and more of the Pale Plum. I think it looks great!


I'm really loving this stamp from Inkadinkado Stamps. This is the sweetest fairy and the stamp is so versatile.


I hand wrote the sentiment. It's not my best handwriting, but when I give cards to friends and family, I usually do all the sentiments by hand. I should have practised a little before I wrote it.

Dream card details:
Stamps: Beautiful Fairies (Inkadinkado)
Paper: Old Olive DSP (SU!)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Pale Plum (SU!)
Ink: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Pale Plum, Perfect Plum (SU!)
Accessories: Ribbon (PTI), Cuttlebug, Nestabilities Scallop Circles, blender pen, stickles

I hope you enjoyed my card, and I really hope you like that fairy! It's quickly becoming my favorite stamp! Thanks for looking!

Fifty Is Nifty!!!

Today is Pam's birthday. Pam is my next door neighbor. She's the big 50!!!!! Her birthday marks the beginning of what all the neighbor's call the Big Birthday Bash! We will all turn the same age over the next 2 months. There's quite a few of us, lol.

As I'm still catching up from last week, I decided to make Pam a card, and combine it with this week's Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, GREASE!!!


I had sort of planned a card in my head last week, and had thought simple was better, lol. But I really wanted to do something nice for her. So this is what I came up with.


While I was making that card, I kept seeing something different in my head, but to be honest the next card wasn't it. I'll keep trying.


It's still cute, but I think I'll keep this for a teen birthday or something.


I hope you like it! Please check out the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. Thanks for looking!
