thanks

Hello!

Today I have card that is PACKED with challenges; so many blogs are having a "thanks/thank you" theme challenge, rather appropriate because Thanksgiving is just around the corner. With this in mind, I tried to think of a card I could use with my Hiedi Grace fall themed paper, but it wouldn't come to mind...just this bright card, rather the opposite of fall except for the leafy part...;)



 

Supplies: American Crafts designer paper, Friendly Forest, card base, ribbon, Ink It Up! black, Hero Arts stamp, thread, kraft paper.

Are you ready for all the challenges used? {takes a deep breath}; Hero Arts "Use Trimming", Lalaland Crafts "Thankful", Paper Blooms "Thank you", Just Us Girls color challenge, Stamp Something "Thank You", Quixotic challenge "Kraft and Red", SC2 sketch and twist, and finally YNS "Be Thankful". Woo! How's that for piling the challenges on? Now, I want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to all these blogs DT and sponsors - I love you gals! ;)

Another volleyball match today...Blue vs. Gold. The teams are made up of select senior highschool volleyball players in the area, and my sisters was selected, so it's gonna be a busy night...

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! :)


note

Another scrapling for you...just seems I can't get them out of my head. Hopefully I'll have a non-scrapling for you next post. ;)

For a Color Dare #43...



 

Supplies: Websters Pages, Stampin Up! cardstock, Ink It Up! ink, Michaels dollar stamps, ribbon, thread


It also serves as a bookmark...



Can't you just guess what the title of the book is? ;)

Today is my younger brothers birthday, and guess what he wanted from me as a present?  A baby card. Yes, you got that right, a baby card. One of the golf teachers at the local golf range is going to have a baby boy, so that's why he asked for it...

{sigh}...today has been pretty eventless so far...just a dreary day. I'm hoping I can get a regular sized card made today though, but my to-do list is very long...and this gloomy weather isn't helping. :(

Hope you're enjoying better weather wherever you are, and thanks for stopping by!

Bundle of Joy

Another sketch today... I didn't pack too many challenges into this one though. :)





Supplies: DCWV sticker, Websters Pages reciept (the pink paper), chipboard, ribbon, Stampin Up! white cardstock, gems, brown ink.

Yeah, not incredibly inspiring, but it is what it is. I was determined to use those stickers, and the KSS challenge provided just the inspiration for that....the card is sweet...in it's own little way...;)

I think I may have lost my mojo for a little while since I've been on such a cardmaking roll...{knock on wood}.

Oh, and before I forget, thanks everyone for the well wishes for my sister as she begins volleyball. She charmed everyone at practice...she's too darn cute to resist. ;)

Anyways, thanks for stopping by! These comments really do mean a lot to us bloggers. :-)

dream big...

Hey all!

For this weeks Taylored Expression sketch and Daring Cardmakers challenge



 Supplies: Websters Pages "Postcards from Paris", white cardstock, Sakura Souffle white pen, unknown brand metal.

I don't know if you can tell, but the metal embellishment has "dream big" written on it...it was rather hard to get a good pic of it.

I found out from browsing around card challenges, that there is an actual definition for scraplings...well, kinda. You see, I thought they were just cards in the dimension of the above scrapling...oh well.

Today is a big day for my younger sister - she's starting volleyball with the local homeschool group. All I can say is this is going to be pretty interesting....;)

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment! :

A Message for You

Hey again!
Only a small project today, but it comes with a tutorial! :)
My little sour cream container with yummy Starburst's inside...



Supplies: K&Company "Berry Sweet", Stampin Up! white cardstock, Sugarloaf stamp, Scrappy Cat ink, ribbon

Made for Stampin' B's challenge, Whimsy Stamps challenge, Pollycraft challenge, and also for my friends over at Simply Scrapping.
It was fun making, but rather difficult to photograph...this picture does it justice...I think...I hope...;)

Here is the short and easy tutorial over at my tutorial blog....let me know if it's too confusing or you find some mistakes. Hopefully I got it all in. :)

Another thing I want to talk to you about, is there any other projects or techniques you would like to see me write a tutorial on? I'm sure I can think of some, but I'm doing it for you, so it really wouldn't make any sense if you're never going to use the tutorial...you know what I mean?

Anyways, thanks for stopping by!
