CCEE Stamp Challenge/Mojo Monday #63

I love combining challenges, big secret huh? LOL!

Well, this card combines the creative genius of Julee at Poetic Artistry and the fabulous ladies at CCEE Stampers.


Another fabulous sketch by Julee! And the CCEE Stamper's challenge making a "blue" card with brads! WOW! How fun!!!

I immediately knew which stamp I was going to use, and getting all the "blue" together was easy. I didn't want to have lots of white, but I needed some to go along with the sketch. What do you think?

"Blue" Thank You card details:
Stamps: Bluebell bittybloom (Stampin' Bella), Love and Joy (SU!)
Paper: Whisper White, Bordering Blue, Not Quite Navy, DSP (SU!)
Ink: Bordering Blue, Rose Red, Elegant Egglant, Not Quite Navy (SU!), versamark
Accessories: brads, embossing powder, lacy punch (Martha Stewart)

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

2 Sketches 4 You Sketch Challenge #14

I love Kazan and Laura's sketches...they are fabulous! Please visit their challenge blog at 2 Sketches 4 You. Every week, they have the best sketches!


SEE!!! How wonderful is this! And here is my card using their sketch! I did not put the tab as shown on the sketch...I just didn't like anything I did. I tried paper tabs, DSP tabs, I made a tab with the lacy trim, the ribbon, argh! Nothing looked right, so I left it off.

Joy card details:
Stamps: Love and Joy (SU!)
Paper: Very Vanilla, Baroque Burgundy, Always Artichoke, DSP (SU!)
Ink: Baroque Burgundy (SU!), Versamark
Accessories: ribbon, lace punch (Martha Stewart)

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

I hope...

I hope ya'll all had a great Thanksgiving. I think all the food is just about gone, thank goodness, 'cause I can't eat leftovers much more, lol.

Today I have a few cards I've made ready to post. I'll get them up as quickly as I can, but I have Mia today, so it's gonna be hit and miss, lol!


I started this card with the Mojo Monday sketch from Poetic Artistry. I love her sketches, and I love her stamps! But nothing spoke to me, nothing but the sketch. I teamed the sketch up with the colors from this week's colors from Paper Craft Planet, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.

And then, Our Creative Corner had a challenge that we were to use snowmen or snowflakes! WooHoo! Three challenges in one card!


I used my new Martha Stewart embossing punch, I love it!, and some old SU! vellum. Inkadinkado stamps always work and I just love how it came out! I chose not to put a sentiment on the front of the card, it's inside.

Snowman card details:
Stamps: Warm Holiday Wishes (Inkadinkado)
Patterned Paper: old vellum (SU!)
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White (SU!)
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, Riding Hood Red (SU!)
Accessories: Versamark, embossing powder, embossing punch (Martha Stewart)

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

Mojo Monday...on a Tuesday? Again?

In the hurry of a not so normal Monday, I forgot to check out the sketch at Poetic Artistry. I can't believe I did that!


Great sketch huh? I sat down last night to work on it (no, Mia was NOT sleeping), and I saw this great paper I bought on another road trip! BoBunny!!! Who doesn't love BoBunny paper! And then I really screwed up! ARGH!


I'm posting the card, booboo and everything. I was supposed to put 3 brads, eyelets, something at the top of the main image...And I had the brads sitting there right in front of me, but for some reason, I forgot to put them. And I used permanent adhesive so I couldn't take the card apart! WAAAAA!


I still like my card...and the red and blue of the patterned paper is so different. This could become a favorite paper for me.

Friendship card details:
Stamps: dots (Art Warehouse), bird (Martha Stewart), sentiment (Artful Inkables)
Patterned Paper: Santorini Mediterrani (BoBunny)
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Real Red, Whisper White (SU!)
Ink: Pacific Point, Real Red, Creamy Caramel (SU!)
Accessories: ribbon, scallop punch (fiskars), vellum

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