Pink Elephant sketch/Embellish Borders Color challenge

Good Morning....The sun is shining and the air is frigid, but it is a day that is loaded with lots of fun!! I got my card done, a baby shower to attend and friends coming for dinner!! Fun!! Fun!! My card today used the Embellish Magazine challenge and the Pink Elephant sketch challenge. For the Embellish Magazine challenge we were to use the colors: yellow, green, pink, and peach--plus add in a border of some kind. The Pink Elephant sketch was perfect for this challenge because it called for a border as well. I stamped my VERVE trees, cut them out, and attached them with a 3D glue dot. The button on top of my ribbon was made with my i-top brad maker. To finish off my card I added several gray rhinestones along the scalloped border. Thanks for stopping by and having a look.....enjoy your weekend!!!

Mercy's sketch for this week....

The girls over at SCS have changed up the Friday challenge....it is no longer a "limited supply" challenge....not many of us are very "limited" in our supplies any longer!! LOL Some of us need to build additions just to house our addiction!! LOL (guess we really shouldn't be laughing about that, huh?!?) Any way the Friday challenge is now a "Free for All" challenge and will changed up each week. So stop on by and play along.

My card this week uses Mercy's sketch that she posted on Tuesday--it worked perfect for the Free for All challenge to use texture, dp, and a color that we don't use too often. I paper piece my giraffe and added some ultra mini rhinestones, tied a bow around his neck, layered him on Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink, my base card is a pre-embossed card that says Baby Baby Baby all over it, and of course a card would not be complete without a bow!!

Mojo Monday Sketch and Color Q challenge

My card today just had to be another round card--loving them!! I used the Colour Q challenge for my color combo: Top layer of my flower is Regal Rose covered with clear chunky glitter, the bottome layer is Mellon Mambo covered in clear chunky glitter, the center is a brad from Micheal's, my leaves were punched out using my MS fern punch and Green Galore cardstock, the back-ground is Apricot Appeal DP, and the base of my card is Whisper White. Thanks Julee for another great sketch and thanks to Arielle for another great color combo!!

Olympic color challenge plus the Mojo Monday sketch and the 2S4Y sketch

Today over at SCS we were challenged to make cards using the colors form the Olympic logo for this year. Below you will find 2 cards that I made for this challenge. One using the sketch from 2S4Y and one for the Mojo Monday Sketch. I may not be able to compete with these gifted atheletes but I can create in honor of them....so here is to all those men and women who are out there giving it their all!!

This card was made using the sketch from 2Sketch4You. My color combo is Taken with Teal, Summer Sun, and Real Red. I used a masked to stack up the birdies...added some color to them with my Stampin Up markers...punched out my sentiment using my oval punch...layered it on Summer Sun that had been punched out wit the large oval punch...added in the scallops using my MS border punch...added some ribbon to finish it off.

Today I decided to use the round sketch.....I am loving these round cards!! This card also fits the Olympic color combo....Pacific Point, and Real Red. I used my nessties to cut out each layer...the white layer I ran through my CB using the Distressed Stripes folder...my sentiment panel was also cut out with my nessties...I stamped the sentiment in Pacific Point...added some butterflies that I punched out of the same DP...finished it off with some ribbon and gold half beads.

Thanks for stopping by to have a good....I hope you all have a great week!!!

2sketch4you sketch challenge & challenge37 @ Let's Scrap

Here is my card for the sketch challenge over at 2sketch4you. It also fulfills the "use your scraps from a scrapbook page to make a card" challenge over at Let's Scrap.

My card uses the papers from Cosmo Cricket that were left after completing the 2 memory album pages below. Plus I just had to use some of the scraps to make another i-top brad...I am so loving my new toy!! The stamps that I used for the card are from VERVE stamps.
The below pages were created to help us remember our mini vacation to VA Beach in September of 2008...yeah yeah I know I am alittle behind!! That is why I have joined two scrapbooking sites--while playing along with their challenges I am getting caught up. Come on out and join the fun and get caught up as well....these pages are created for the 2-10-10 layout challenge over at Let's Scrap. I am also on the design team over at Soul Scrappers and that has given me lots of inspiration for getting pages done--it is a new site that focuses on the heart of scrapping--come on over and check it out!!

Scrapbook Page Challenges

This page actually fullfills 2 challenges: Let's Scrap challenge37......SNOW.......Some Bling, Nine embellishments, One photo, White space and Soul Scrapper challenge GOW3.....to scrap your wish for someone. So I picked my daughter and my wish for her summed up in the Rascal Flats song.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

And for my SNOW challenge: WISH lettering is full of bling, Nice ultra-mini brads, One photo of my beautiful daughter, and alots of white space! My background DP is from the Walk in the Park DP from Stampin Up. The lettering was hand written and there you have it!!

The only stamps I used was the sentiment by Verve and the flower center from the Stampin Up set Priceless. I am living for those moments that "take my breath away".....I hope you are too!!
