Little Scrap Pieces - Tag You're It Challenge

I am making a going away to college bag for a friend.  I am just stuffing a regular gift bag with different snacks.  When I saw the challenge over at Little Scrap Pieces was for tags, I decided to use the tag for this candy bar holder.  I just love this holder and I have made it several times.  Plus I like to keep a few on hand in case I need a quick gift for someone.

Since tomorrow is Friday, I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Challenges

I haven't stamped any thing today.  That just isn't normal for me.  So I finally sat down at my craft table.  My first thought was Meljen Designs challenge.  It is 'Down By The Sea Colors'.  Lots of blues.  I thought I would take advantage of the blues and make a masculine card.

My son left last week to go back to college.  I miss him terribly.  So I made a simple blue card that says just that.  I miss you birdie from Meljens Designs.  I think I will send the other cards to a few of his buds that I also miss.

I am going to use this card for the Whimsical Designs' Pile It On challenge, the Clean & Simple challenge at Craft Spot by Kimberly and the texture challenge at Pink Elephant.

I hope everyone had a great Wednesday.

Silhouette 101 - Butterflies

Just thought I would take a moment to play without  doing a challenge.  I love this butterfly background from the Silhouette Online store.  I enlarged it to be the same size as my card.  Then I cut out some of the solid butterflies and put some zots behind them to give it a 3d look.

I wish I had made it into a card before I cut it.  I will have to remember it for next time.

That's it for now.  Catcha all later.

Riley & Company - Celebrate Summer Challenge

I missed the last Riley & Company challenge so I really wanted to make sure to enter this one.  I am just barely going to make it.  I have 20 minutes to get it posted.  I have never been this late getting one posted.

Once again, I hope you have a great week.

Impression Obsession - "Words of Encouragement" challenge

 At the convention this weekend, I picked up several new Impression Obsession stamps.  My sister called me Saturday night and told me about the challenge at Impression Obsession.  I don't have any words from IO so I stopped back at the booth on Sunday and picked up the words on this card.

I really liked this way the card came out.  I will be using both these stamps a lot.

I hope you have a great week.

Denami Designs

The Heirloom Rubber Stamp show is this weekend in Novi, Michigan.  A friend and I always work the Denami Designs booth.  It is so much fun.  It is the highlight of the show for me.  If you are in the area stop by the booth.  Denami has lots of wonderful stamps and card ideas.

I wanted to make something for Nami.  She is amazing and I wanted to give her something.  I thought I would make it around her stamps so I cut out a "D" and put little chickies all over it.  I hope she likes it.

I will try to post more pictures on Monday.

Have a great weekend.

Silhouette 101 & Challenges - Watermelon Shaped Card

My sister lives in South Carolina and I am in Michigan.  We get on skype and stamp together.  Today, we decided to work on some challenges.  We started with the watermelon from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  We took the smiley face off of it.  Then we both came up with a card.  We liked them  both so we made both sets of cards.

I am going to use the watermelon card with the watermelon in the scalloped circle for challenges at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons, Silhouette Challenges and QKR Stampede.  My sister is using the other card.

I really liked how the card came out.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.
