Believe

Today you get to see yet another Breast Cancer Awareness card. As you know I love pink so these cards come so easy for me. I love making them and I feel fortunate to not have anyone close to me that has breast cancer and/or is a survivor of breast cancer. I give all those ladies so much credit, I know they don't have a choice but they are strong women! The background on this card is made with the Hope is set and then speckled pink on it. Very simple and easy- but says just the right thing. Once again, this is for the SSIC CHallenge.

October is PINK!

Yep- in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month we are making pink cards with pink ribbons over on SSIC challenge. I have made this one today and more to come later this week. I embossed with the block hearts embossing folder which I believe was one of my first ones- and I still love it (especially in pink!). The stamps are SU and the set was put out a few years ago in October and I have kept it for years. So for all those ladies out there fighting breast cancer and/or are a survivior this one's for you! I am also submitting to Flourishes: no buttons or bows.

Friday Sketch

Happy Monday!

Well it is back to work for me... as I am sure it is for many of you. Don't you feel like you work just to get to Friday evening and then before you know it is is Monday morning again? LOL- it really is kind of sad.

So this weekend I took a class with stampscapes (will show you later this week) and then got to work on a few challenges which I have not really done much of over the last 2 weeks so it felt good. This card I used the ODBD challenge of using kraft, black, a neutral and 1 other color, as you can see I chose pink. Then I combined it with the Friday sketch challenge and the Flourish 89 Challenge to focus on the sentiment. The DSP is StampinUP and the sentiment is Verve.

Something different

Today's card is a little different than what I typically do. It is a modified step card I suppose. The middle is a little bigger than the two side pieces. The DSP is from a stack that I got a few years ago and gave most away- but I loved the aqua and oranges so I wanted to use what I had left of it. I kept it kind of simple since I had the two coordinating papers that really are busy. The flowers are in orange and aqua (lightly) tapped on so that the sentiment is really the main thing on it. I hope you enjoyed it and I do have another one similar that I will show sometime in the future. Thanks for stopping in on this wonderful Sunday afternoon!

Snowflakes and Butterflies

Smile! That is what I do whenever I look at this card. The face on this little snowman just makes me feel good. It is a magnolia that I think I got last year- not a whole lot of coloring either but I did want to match him up with some papers/color other than traditional christmas colors. What do you think? Does he look happy or what............ but still wintery. :)

Holiday Pad Holder- Gift Card Holder

Holiday Gift Card Holder or Notepad Holder

This is a project that I did with my class this evening. I think that they enjoyed it. We made it into a gift card holder but it could easily hold a little sticky note pad.

Flowers for YOU

Ok, another card that I did a "take" from one of Maureen's cards that she sent to me. I loved the sketch and so I put my own spin on it. Inside is a cute Boss's Day message. The paper is October Afternoon: verve stamps.
