Thanks for looking!!!

Celebrate Little Lady!

I've completed another challenge! I haven't used my PTI Little Lady stamp set in a really long time and that is the first stamp set I thought of when I looked at my Flower Soft Colors - Sweet Pea. This is for the Flowersoft and Paper Creations Magazine All Occasion Card Challenge.

I really like how the border turned out! I'm gonna have to remember to do that more often - it really softens up the card! Flower Soft is also perfect for the center of flowers!

Thanks for looking!!!

Santa Crack...

Robin challenged the "Paper Pack" (our local swap group) to commplete this challenge at Hambo Stamps. Isn't that a fun sketch? I thought so! Here is my version of this sketch:

I used the Hambo digital download called Santa Crack. Wanting to be "loyal" to the sketch, I cut the top layer shorter than the bottom and mounted the sentiment on the bottom layer. And I used up some old supplies I had laying around!!! Yay!!!! So now I'm throwing the challenge down to you - come and play with us!!!!!

Thanks for looking!

PS - Thanks for the idea on the sentiment, Robin!!!!

Monkeying Around....

I made this card with one of my most favorite stamps! It is for a special little girl who is fighting a battle with leukemia right now. I know she loves monkeys - maybe this will make her smile!

Thanks for looking!!!

At the Fair...

Robin alerted me to this weeks challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot - to create a project with a "fair" theme!

While strolling through the 4-H booths at our county fair, I admired all the entries that were canned goods! Canning is something that I'm just a beginner at so I wouldn't win a blue ribbon at the fair, but I had fun admiring those entries that earned one!

I used the cuttlebug argyle folder to emboss my background.

Thanks for looking!!!
