In Wilderness for RHSSC3

Wow, I think it's been a whole week since my last post.  Between homeschooling and work it seems like my time is gone before I know it! :(  Let's see if this week goes a little better. :)  Anyway, today's card is for the Red Hot Stampers third sketch challenge (RHSSC3).  I really liked the layout and thought it would be great to use for a masculine card.  In fact I will be using it for the next stamp a stack I have coming up this week.  Oh, I can't forget to add that you can play along with the Red Hot Stampers at redhotstampers.blogspot.com.  Head on over there and join in.  I know there will also be prizes going out to two winners!

RHSSC2 - Faith in Nature

Today's card is my take on the Red Hot Stamper's second sketch challenge...RHSSC2.  I love how quickly a card can come together when I have a sketch right in from of me!  Why not give it a try yourself to see how easy it is.  Hop on over to Glenda's blog to see some other ladies' cards and how you can play along too.

Mad "because I missed your b-day" Dog

Seems like I'm a little bit into punch art lately, but it's really only the second one I've done in a while.  I needed a card for my nephew whose birthday was a few days ago...and it was late! :(  I know he loves dogs, so I thought I'd put a funny little saying on the card for him that went with the dog.  This is definitely a case, but I'm not sure who to give the credit too because I saw a bunch of them out there...I'm just glad there are so many talented ladies out there making things with punches! :)  


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Christmas Mouse

Today I want to show you some punch art I did for a swap with The Red Hot Stampers.  While looking around for ideas I saw this cute little mouse here and had to try it.  Wish I could take credit for coming up with this idea, but I'm not that good!  Kim has great instructions on how to make it though.  I did have to change a few things because I didn't have all the punches and used different colored paper too, but I love how he turned out. 


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC1

Today's card is for the first Red Hot Stamper's Sketch Challenge from my upline Glenda.  I love doing sketch challenges, so here is my take on the first one.  





I bought this set last month and just put it together today before making up this card.  I think it took me just as long to get it put together as it did to make the card.  That's one thing I love about the challenges...it takes some of the guess work out of what I want to make. :)  


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Card Stock:  Night of Navy & Whisper White

In Wilderness ~ Birthday

Today's card is one that I had to quickly whip up for my brother-in-law.  Every year I forget that I should mail his card BEFORE Labor Day, not after.  I made sure I put a reminder on my calendar for next year.  We'll see how that goes. ;)  Anyway, I bought this set a few weeks ago and just put it together last night so I could make this card.  I think I'll have to play with it a little more now that it's put together. :)
