Impression Obsession

When I saw that the challenge at Tuesday Throwdown was "Best Friends", I immediately thought of the IO stamp that I bought at the Novi Convention.  It just fit with the theme.

I am going to use this card in a couple of challenges (see below) and then I am going to leave the card in my husband's lunchbox for tomorrow.  I like to occasionally leave him a card for no reason.




Here are the challenges I am entering with this card:

   Parade Your Craft - Anything Goes
   Tuesday Throwdown - Best Friends

I hope you have a good week.

Too Cute By Jessica

Too Cute By Jessica is the sponsor for this week's challenge at Cut It Up Challenges.  She is running a huge sale right now.  60% off everything on her site. 

I thought I would pass on the sale, just in case some one wants to check it out.  I love finding great deals and thought there might be others that agree.

Happy Shopping.

Challenges

I have to hurry and post this card.  I haven't been feeling good.  I catch my first cold of the school year.  I really wanted to enter a couple of challenges today so this is what I came up with.

I used the waterfall set of Sick Chicks by Art Gone Wild.  I just love these sets.  You don't have to look for four stamps.  They are all together.  I have a beach set also and I may go ahead and make some even though summer is over.

I am going to use this card in the following challenges:

   Little Scrap Pieces - Anything Goes
   Craft Spot by Kimberly - Get Well
   Eureka Stamps - Gentle Thoughts

Cut It Up Challenge

It is time for my first challenge at Cut It Up Challenges as a member of the design team.  The theme this week is 'Labor Day - celebrate a pregnancy or a new baby'.  It is sponsored by Too Cute by Jessica.

I am past having babies and am not ready for grand babies yet, so I wasn't sure what to do for this challenge, but I went to Too Cute By Jessica's site and she had the cutest baby set.  It has a baby bottle card and a 3D baby shoe.  I thought the baby bottle was so cute that I just had to use it for the challenge.

The rest of the design team has come out with some great ideas, so go check them out.  I hope you see some thing that will inspire you. 

The challenge will run from September 6th through September 18th, so make a card and enter the challenge.

Have a great day.

Meljen & other challenges

Hello everyone.

Usually I make my bears brown especially my Meljen's Design bears, but I decided to go outside of my normal box and do this bear black.  And instead of regular boots, I made yellow rain boots.  It is hard to tell from the picture but there is glitter on the little sheriff's badge.

I am using this card in the following challenges:

Meljen's Designs -  Sketch
Cardz TV - Color Pop (black, yellow and white)


I hope you had a great day.

C.R.A.F.T

I work in a school, so every May/June, I get a lot of graduation open house invites.  This card is one of my favorites to use.  I try to keep them on hand just in case.  I made a few more so I wouldn't be so rushed in May.  At least, I am ahead on something.

I am using the card for the C.R.A.F.T.'s challenge.  It is a hard card to mail because every thing gets flattened, but it is perfect for the local parties every year.

Have a great evening.

Our Daily Bread - Sketch Challenge

I am once again, putting a card together at the last minute.  I love the sketches at Our Daily Bread this month and I really wanted to make one last card to use on the sketches.  I usually use Our Daily Bread stamps, but I really didn't have anything that I thought would work.  I had this Inky Antics stamp on my table so I picked it up and used it.

I think if I make more of these, I will change out the gray strip in the middle.  I think another pattern paper would look good here.  If I change it, I will post a picture.

Off to work.  Have a nice day.

                                                       I wish this was me today.
