Pastel Fox & Friends

Well, I have another post for you today.  I wanted to enter a card into The Friday Mashup this week and here's why...their theme is "Let's Celebrate!" since it's their 100th challenge.  That means I was able to choose which challenge I wanted to do out of the past 99.  I didn't get very far through their list of past challenges when I saw the "Let's Get Punchy Baby" challenge and knew that was the one I was going to do since I needed baby card for a shower this week at church.  I used a retired set, but I don't have any other sets that I can use for baby cards. :(  Plus this set is just so cute!  I can tell you one thing...I won't be making a lot of these cards with all the fussy cutting I did, that's for sure!


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Daffodil Delights

These two cards are definitely not the norm for me, but I made them to feature the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit.  I think they turned out pretty cute, but I know beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. ;)  The card on the left took a little bit of work to fold up the flowers to make them look like daffodil buds, and cutting the strips of grass.  The flower itself was pretty easy to make though.  The yellow flower was super easy to make.  Just sponge the edges, clip the outside cup, layer the pieces and attach with the brad in the middle.  Making the stem and leaves were easy too. :)

Today I have a small gift box with two cards that I made using the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit.  Let me tell you, you sure can make a lot of stuff with this kit...a lot of cute stuff I might add!  Just use your imagination and have a little fun.  I'll be posting a few other things I made with this kit during the week.

Spring French Foliage

I made this card a few days ago for the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge and never got a chance to put it on my blog.  I wanted to make a spring card, but wanted to use the French Foliage set because I didn't want to wait until fall to use it again.  I know...leaves aren't really pastel, but I think the soft colors were just what I was looking for because spring is so close!



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC - Elegant Elements of Style

Well, I've been a little lazy this past week and haven't posted anything. :(  Actually I ended up hurting my back and I've been laying low for a few days...in other words I've been bored, bored, bored!  I managed to head to my basement yesterday afternoon to make sure I had a card ready for the next Red Hot Stampers challenge though. :)  It was good to get out of bed, but my back sure was letting me know it wasn't happy.   As I'm typing this up though I'm not feeling too bad.  Let's hope it stays that way. :)  Don't forget to head over to the Red Hot Stampers blog here to check out what the other ladies made with this week's sketch.  And if you're feeling a little adventurous why not give the sketch a try yourself.




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC - Birthday Butterfly

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  When I first saw this stamp I wasn't sure what I thought of it at all since it was so huge.  Well after seeing one beautiful card after another using this stamp I decided to finally buy it...and this is what I came up with for my first card.  Yup, it's the three blues (again) that I use so much. :)  Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot's made over on the Red Hot Stampers' blog here
