Sympathy

Wowsers, ladies! I've gotta hand all the DT gals of La-La Land Crafts, Paper Blooms, Just Us Girls, Stamp Something, S2G challenges, YNS, and Quixotic a HUGE thanks! 20 comments - totally not used to that even if that is something normal for other bloggers. ;)

Anyways, today I have a sympathy card {I know, not the greatest topic for a card when I'm so happy}. I was looking through my 125+ card stash when I realized I didn't have any decent sympathy cards. So I decided to make one, going with this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch and Creative Belli Challenge (my chipboard is what I used to make the sentiment pop up, instead of paying for the foamies), 

{trying out a new form of listing supplies}

Cardstock: Stampin' Up! white

Patterned Paper: Websters Pages "Postcards from Paris"
Stamps: unkown
Ink: unknown
Accessories: Souffle white and blue pen, chipboard, pearl ribbon?

So, like I said, this is only a decent sympathy card...I like bright fun cards, which obviously aren't suitable for this kind of topic, so this was rather a challenge for me.

Anyways, thanks for stopping by! :)

An elegant birthday

A sweet card to share with you today...

 

(yes, this is the card whose little sneak peek I showed you ;))

Supplies; Websters Pages "Postcards From Paris", Making Memories "Noteworthy", ribbon, button, Sugarloaf sentiment, Ink It Up! black, thread, white card base.

This is definitely a recycled card in the way that I used the receipt from Websters Pages (a very pretty pink) to make the paper ruffle, and that the bottom striped half of the card came from the back of their catalog they sent along with the paper. Pretty nifty, if I do say so myself. :)

For sweet yet elegant cards, "Postcards from Paris" is probably my favorite line to use...their shades of pink, cream and blue are spot on! Admittedly, I haven't used their "Sweet as Cherry Pie" line often (fine, only once), but I just don't feel like using it during these winter months...the weather does reflect on the cards I create, colorwise. These pinks, blues and creams are almost icy in a way, so they work with me. ;)

Anyways, this was made for Simply Scrappings ruffle challenge (LOVE IT!), Danni's Dream challenge, and Practical Scrappers challenge...

Gotta go rescue some smoking chicken!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

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. :)

For Kitchen Sink Stamps sketch

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. :-)
