I am so thrilled.....

This card got chosen to be part of the Fab 5 over at 2sketch4you!! I am so excited--what an honor!! Thanks, ladies!!

New Sketch Site....for me anyway!

I found a new sketch site: Card Positions Systems
I decided I would play along. This sketch is actually very similar to the one that Splitcoast Stampers had this week and I could have just used that card but I decided to make my Brother-In-Laws birthday card using this sketch--plus I love a square card!! I used some retired dp from Stampin Up that coordinates perfectly with this embosslite die. My leaves are chipboard that I colored with my Stampin Up markers. I did alittle stitching and added some Choc. Chip brads for alittle embellishment. My sentiment comes from the set Small Script from Stampin Up. Thanks for looking and have a great day!!!

Color Throwdown Challenge--week 2 of being guest designer

Here is the card that I made for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge.

Here are 2 other cards that I made for this color combo--I couldn't decide which card to send in so I just let my daughter pick her favorite to send as my sample and then posted all 3 of them here.

2sketch4you sketch challenge

Today my card satisfies two challenges: SCS color combo Challenge(Pretty In Pink, Rich Razzleberry, and Choc. Chip) as well as the sketch challenge from 2sketch4you.

I used Very Vanilla as my base then layered Rich Razzleberry and Pretty in Pink after I embossed it. My main image panel was cut out using my Nessties/CB and attached using 3D glue dots. The sentiment is new from StampinUp! and was stamped using Rich Razzleberry inkMy flowers are StampinUp!'s felt flowers--I layered them and connected them with a Choc. Chip mini brad. The greenery was punched out using the MS Fern Punch.

Mojo Monday Sketch #121

Here is my card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. I went with a color combo (Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green and Brocade Blue) that I have never used--I decided on it based on the mess that was spread out on my work space and some ribbon that I wanted to use--got my card all done and realized I didn't even use the ribbon!! Oh well, I have got to go get some housework done before the kids come home from school so this will just have to do for now!! This card also qualifies to today's cut it out challenge over at SCS. So I guess I am killing two birds with one stone!! Gotta run......Happy Stampin!!

Verve Release and Free Digi

This is the card that I made with the new Digi stamp from Verve. I used one of my pre-embossed card from Micheal's. I layered my main image on Pink Passion and Basic Black. I embellished the main image with clear and black gemstones. The heart was cut out and sponged with Pink Passion. Keep scrolling down and you will find my 5 entries for the Verve Release challenges--there are 5 of them and each one was alot of fun to create. Come on over and play along.

For this challenge we were to use any shape card as long as it was not an A2 card--I used my nessties and made my round with scallops. Works perfect for this Wreath from Verve.
Here is my 3-D goodie holder--I decided to use a sheer bag that I got some Christmas goodies in. Since it is red, I figured it would work perfectly for some Valentines goodies. I cut out the center heart and then glued the white cardstock with the digi image on it to some Rose Red DP and then cut both layers out--sponged the edges with Basic Gray--added some smokey gemstones--tied it on the little bag with some black hemp.
For this challenge we were to use chip board--I colored my black with my Stampin Up markers and used the digi image once again. My center heart is cut our and coated with Dazzlin Diamonds glitter.
This card follows the sketch challenge that Teresa Kline hosted. I used Very Vanilla, Choc. Chip and Rose Red. The stamps are from the Verve sets--Thankful Accents and Thankful Hearts. I won them last month--yippee!! I will say cutting out those tiny hearts was quite the job!!
This entry was for the color challenge: turquoise, gray and black. I love these colors together!! I used Bermuda Bay from Stampin Up! for my turquoise, as well as their DP, Basic Black and Basic Gray. I did alot of sponging on this card and then added some black pearls, ribbon, and black hemp for my embellishments.
Thanks for looking--I know this post had alot of photos!! I hope you enjoyed my creations!!

Let's Scrap Challenge

This is a page layout that I made for the Let's Scrap Layout Challenge. I have enjoy getting this bit of inspiration each week. It is a great place to get layout ideas, see the work of other scrappers and you can if win prizes. Check them out and join the fun!! I used my camping stamp set from Stampin Up and then cut out the images. I also did some stitching--this is the first time I have stitched in my memory albums--I like it. The pages are alittle big, so it takes some careful maneuvering. I didn't have any snow pictures so I went with the camping theme. This layout shows how much fun our dog, Toby, has on our camping trips. I will say that after I caught our son feeding Toby water out of a water bottle, I made sure I new were mine was at all time!! LOL! I also including in my pages this challenge:
