Less is More - In Wilderness

Well, today's card is a little different than my norm, but I needed a card for my cousin and that meant a masculine card.  I was looking through some sketch challenges to get an idea going and this week at  Less is More their theme is "masking".  I figured I could make a pretty good masculine card using that technique.  I ended up doing a little more masking (sponging) than I planned on though...darn fingers decided to leave some prints where it was supposed to be white! lol  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Wow, I actually finished my card for the Red Hot Stampers a day earlier than normal, was about to climb in bed and realized I never scheduled anything for it on my blog!  I guess it could be because I was gone for part of my weekend helping cook for a group at a camp our church supports.  It's always fun to get together with friends and spend time working (and playing) together!  Anyway, since it's Sunday, that means it's time for another card for the Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge.  This was a fun card to do because I finally bought some watercolor wonder crayons that I've wanted to use with this set. I'll have to see what else I can come up with using them.  Check out some other cards using this design  here.  And if you're not having too much fun enjoying your summer weather when it's still really winter (at least in Michigan!) you can make a card too.

I even managed to do something on the inside for once! 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I've been working on this card for a few days hoping I'd get it done in time to enter it into this week's Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge.  I guess trying to start up a web page for someone is more work than I thought! lol  I'm giving it my best shot, but needed to stamp a bit in between to take a break. :)  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Thoughts of You

Today's card is for the Stampin' Queen's Sketch Challenge.  I had a few different ideas going around in my head, but it seems like a couple of the other ladies had the same ideas as me.  Wait, I think I have that wrong.  Since they did theirs first I guess I had the same idea as a couple of them. lol  So I went back to work and finally came up with this card.  I wish the shimmer paint showed up better in the picture, but I've come to realize my pictures will never look as nice as a card does in person.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's card is my last March stamp a stack card and I think my favorite out of the bunch.  Probably because it was the last one I made, and I was just glad to finally have figured out what five cards I was going to be doing! lol

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!
