I made this card for the SCS "Way to use it" challenge. The challenge was to stamp an image more than once. Simple enough! :)

Paper: SU
Stamp: Inkadinkadoo
Accessories: Scallop border punch (HL), Jewels & Ribbon (HL)
Ink: Brilliance

I like how this turned out. Simple but bold. That's the way to go! :)

Summer Purse

I finally branched out and attempted to make a purse. I found the template at SCS. It was much easier than I expected and super cute! I think I will do this project with my Sunday school class.

Image: The Greeting Farm
Template: SplitCoastStampers
Accessories: Scallop border punch & Scallop circle punch - SU
Ribbon: Hobby Lobby
Flowers: Unknown

My First SCS swap!

These are the cards I made for my first evah SCS swap! I've swapped before, but this is the big leagues! :) This specific swap was for Dustin Pike images.

As soon as I saw the thread on SCS I knew I wanted to join. I love DP's images and I need swap practice anyway!! **Keep an eye open for an MSB swap real soon!**

The paper is SU. The sentiment is from the SU set "Very Punny". I colored the image with PrismaColor pencils and stickled the moon. The ribbon is from HL. The image was a freebie on DP's blog, btw! You can't beat that!!

The swap is due July 3, so I am finished with plenty of time. Look at me getting stuff done ahead of schedule! What a nice change of pace! :)

Sweet!

I don't have a project of my own to post today, but I wanted to share something I got in the mail this afternoon. Over on SCS there is a group called RAK. It stands for Random Act of Kindness. People make cards and send them out to others in the group for any 'ol reason. It's really rather sweet and lots of fun. There is also a sub-group for birthdays. I almost forgot about it until I opened my mailbox today! A wonderful stamper named Mary sent me the cutest card along with a set of adorable, little clear stamps! Check them out:This is all very nice in general. What made it even better today was that I was kinda "down in the dumps". When I saw this it really brightened my day.

See!? Cardmaking is a marvelous hobby! So much enjoyment to go around!! :)

Strawberry Friends Forever

Stamps: Tart and Tangy(SU), Noteworthy(SU), Pocket Silhouettes(SU)
Paper: DCWV

I really wasn't "feeling" this card when I started making it. It wasn't until the very end that it came together and worked for me. I drew the lines and dotted around the strawberries. I don't know if you can tell by the picture, but the background paper is a very light pink. I rounded the corners with a SU punch. I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head.

I made this based on a CAS challenge. It was a sketch challenge.

It's not very often that I can pull a card back from the brink of the trash can, but I'm glad this one made it! :)

King ATC

It feels like forever since I've posted for the HHN09 challenge. I really enjoy doing this challenge. The crafting part is a lot of fun, but the bible study is great too. This week's name is "King". Pretty much everything on this ATC was done by hand. I drew the crown and stickled it with green and gold. Then I wrote the verse and I drew "King" with a white gel pen.

This was probably the quickest ATC I've made. They usually take a long time for me to think up. I'm either getting the hang of ATC's or I've let clean-and-simple take over my life!! :)
