7 Kids Challenge

Okay I added the purse card here too, the other post was done last week and that is where all the encouraging comments I got are - thanks!! If you want to see the details for the purse card, just scroll down on my blog and you will see it - I made this card later and tried to post it separately on the 7 Kids Challenge Blog but that did not work so that is why two separate postings on my blog.

Okay I have a confession to make.... last week I was so excited to see the 7 Kids Challenge up that when I read it, I thought that it said "every Wednesday"... so I am waiting to see what the next challenge will be and go back and reread it and it says "every other Wednesday" ...so I decided to make another card for this challenge as I love the 7 Kids College Fund store so much!! So here is another "pinks and dots" challenge card :)
Lots of fun with Lemonade paper from Basic Grey, some Kaiser La-Di-da paper, some pink paper that I embossed with dots in my Cuttlebug, lots of pink flowers from a variety of companies and also lots of rhinestones for the dots for flower centers on the image and on the flowers beside it. The stamp is a cute Swiss Pixie from C.C. Designs. Yes I used my copics and this was colored awhile ago and I did not write down which colors I used. I also used my Spellbinders for a couple of the shapes, for the image and the sentiment.
Thanks again for a very fun challenge!!

All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge

What a fun challenge to do - okay the image was so cute that it made the whole challenge fun !! I love C.C. Design stamps and have for awhile now and this new one is just so cute!! I thought this might be a fun baby card in October. :) What do you think?? The challenge was to use your die cuts, so on went the Cricut for the large pattern paper shape, and Iused the Cindy Lou cartridge. The Cuttlebug got some action with the shape for the image and the paper behind it and the sentiment shape, with a Spellbinder die cut. Also the pumpkin was done with the Cuttlebug with a Cuttlebug die cut and embossing folder. The zig zag pieces were done with an EK success punch called "zig zag chain". I distressed a few edges with Versa Magic "pumpkin spice" ink - how appropriate is that??
And the copic colours I used are: YR12, 15, 18 and YR21, E50,51, E31, 34, G20,21,24, YR000 and YR0000 around the image and a little R05 for some cheek colour.

Mojo Monday

I have had this colored for awhile and been waiting to turn it into a card - so now it is done and ready to be given away to someone special for their birthday!! I thought I would share a little personal update with this post today - last night I taught my last class at Scrapbooker's Paradise for now - it was time for a break to work on personal things like volunteering that I want to do and also on my blog. It is a dream to maybe one day be on a design team somewhere and so I need to time to learn some new things myself and see what happens. NO I am not done making cards at all and not done teaching as I do really love both - so you will be seeing lots of me!!!

7 Kids Challenge

Oh what fun a new challenge from a great web store!! Loved the idea - pink and polka dots.... very girly, so I decided a card in the shape of a purse would be ideal. The phrase on the front which is fun small stamp from All That Scraps says, "It's not shopping, It's retail therapy". On the inside I used a stamp from MFT that says, "I just shopped to say I love you"!! This was fun to do and I hope it gives you some ideas. I am now back from a wonderful holiday on the Oregon Coast and ready to take on some challenges and keep learning ways to be creative :)

Oops forgot to add some details before I first put this up:
Stamp - Greeting Farm - Miss Anya Collection
Paper - Bo Bunny Passion Fruit Dot, We R memory keepers, Retro Glam Sidney
