Everyday Enchantment

Today's card is another one from my March stamp a stack.  I don't use DSP very often and wanted to give it a try, so I checked around to see what other ladies were making out of the Everyday Enchantment DSP.  I really loved a card that Ann Schach did on The Paper Players last week, so this card was inspired by her.



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Wow, I thought last week's challenge was a little bit difficult to come up with, but I didn't think I was ever going to get this card done.  Usually I can look at the design and make the card, take pics, edit them and do my blog in about an hour.  Not this week!  Maybe if I started it before 12:30 in the morning it would help!  I'm going to be needing a nap that's for sure!  So now onto my card for sketch challenge 26...

It's time for another Red Hot Stamper's Challenge.  When I first saw this sketch I had no idea what to do with it since the sketch is like an envelope.  Then I stared thinking about making a rose with the new Blossom punch just to see how that would turn out.  I must say this has been the most challenging sketch challenge so far, but I do love a good challenge. :)  Head on over to the Red Hot Stampers blog to check out a few other cards using this sketch.

SQSC27 ~ The Paper Players ~ Open Sea

Today's card is for a couple of challenges.  I've missed making cards for the different challenges out there, so I decided to use them to help me come up with cards for my March stamp a stack.   I used Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge 27  for my design and The Paper Players Challenge 83  (CAS masculine) to decide what to put on it.

Birthday Wallet

It's birthday time again and this time it's for one of my nephews.  I always make purses for the girls, so I thought I'd come up with more than a card for the boys this year.  That means it's wallet time for them. I love how it turned out!  Hopefully my nephew will enjoy it too.  Not so sure guys are quite as excited as girls about this kind of stuff, but you never know. ;)


The same tradition...$1.00 in their card.  Yup, I'm cheap, but it still makes them happy at this age! lol  I decided to make a counterfeit credit card, Michigan driver's license and a library card.  Yes, all fake and just for the fun of it.  I wish I could show you the picture I put on his license because it's hilarious (at least I think it is), but I value my privacy (yeah, that's why I have a blog! lol)...ok, the little bit of privacy that I have, so I won't post any pictures of other people without permission. 


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Nope, I didn't take any measurements for this project.  I just eyeballed it and went with the flow.  
Stamp Set: Definitely Decorative Pines (retired, but the moose was perfect for the front of the wallet)
