Friend Card - Friday Sketchers Challenge

This card was on the Friday Sketchers Blog, so I thought I'd give it a try. I had a hard time incorporating a text into the card so I gave up and left it empty. The stamp is from stampendous (M had 40% off - woohoo). I used liquid glass on the cat nose, flowers and snail. I used my nesties for the scalloped circle and lots of pearls. The ribbon was also a great deal at M ($1.29 for 3 metres).

Mini Cards

I had a really good show last week and sold 24 cards!! I was really excited so I decided to get a head start before the next show. I wanted to make several cards quickly (ask my hubby...it usually doesn't go quick) so I decided to make mini cards - about 2.5 x 2.5 inches square. These 4 are the first of several. I used stamps from M and a variety of embellies. Had fun adding glitter and liquid glass as well.

Mojo Monday Challenge Week 71

For this challenge at Mojo Monday, I chose a variety of opposing colors. I really like both the olive green and the light pink together, and what better stamp than one expressing a friendship. This stamp was a part of my swap with my aunts. The brads and ribbon are from M and the cut was done from WIMG; stem cut at 2.5 inches and the flower, shadowed at 1 inch. I also used liquid glass on the centre of the flower.

Challenge of the Day 2 - January 17th

This card was for Friday's Sketchers Blog. The paper is from the Christmas Pack at WM. The ribbon and stars are from M. The cut star is 1.5 inches; used BB cartridge. The stamp is from my aunt's collection. The wire, star brad and metal corners are from my stash. I really enjoyed making this card, the colours are bright and cheerful.

Challenge of the Day - January 15th

I have been contemplating this sketch on CPS for a few days. I recently picked up this paper at M and decided it would suit this challenge. I know...I am using that flower from the PS cart alot. I cut three of those cute things at 1 inch and the leaves at 1 inch also. The buttons are also from M. The stamp was one from my aunt's stash. I thought I'd doodle around the leaves and green edging.

Card of the Day - January 13th

I am excited to announce that in only 13 days, I had 1000 hits on my blog...yes some of them were me (prob a good 50 or so). I never had this type of blog before so this is quite exciting to me :) I am also aware that these hits are not unique, but that is ok!! Here is my card of the day...rather plain but I still managed. The paper is from the glitter paper pack and the ribbon from M. The metal "smile" and the brads were from my stash and the stamp is from my stamp swap.

Challenge of the Day - January 5th

I can sit and ponder my next card for literally hours. Then I recently discovered these challenge blogs. I must say that I find it easier to make decisions on colours and embellishments when the layout is already predertermined. This card was made with the challenge posted on Sketch Saturday 's blog. I used my cricut to cut 3 inch circle and 4 flowers at 1.5 inches (using PS cart). Then I cut a 4 inch scalloped circle from C cart. The stamp I used is from M. I finished off the card with my fav - liquid glass. I also inked all the edges.
