I'm a challenge fool!!

Up until very recently I had never done a challenge. I was kind of chicken. :) Now I do them like they are my job!!

The Greeting Farm posted a challenge to case a card on their blog. The card was cute and a little gothic-y. I decided to use my one and only TGF rubber stamp and make my case a little more "rowdy". :)

Here is the link to the challenge: http://splendidstamping.blogspot.com/2009/03/case-of-curious-card-ii.html

So, I guess it's official. I have gone challenge crazy!!

There's always a first time for everything...

So, I entered my first Design Team call! (I didn't make it, but honestly I was SO excited to just enter). I felt like I was stepping up on the scrapping ladder! Since the call is over I thought I'd post the cards I entered. Maybe I can at least get some helpful suggestions for the next go-round! :)

I love this cutie couple! They are very 50's reminiscent. I colored them with my PrismaColor pencils. I am still trying to get the hang of coloring in general. I like the pencils really well though.

This is the second card I submitted. I was trying to do some fancy flower work in the corner. I knotted pink ribbon and then attached the flowers with sparkly brads. I colored the image with Bic Write-It markers.

I love this little guy! He's so cute! I used him for my son's 2nd birthday party cards and favors as well as for the DT call. I colored him with PrismaColor pencils and tried to make it a little bolder. I also traced around the stamped image with a black marker.

I was really pumped to enter this DT call. I knew I had absolutely no chance of making it, but it was fun working on cards that would be judged and not just tossed out! :) The company hosting the DT call was The Greeting Farm. Their stamps are insanely cute! Check them out!
