Jacksonbelle Embellishments Challenge

This week at Jacksonbelle Embellishments was a challenge to make a card using the following sketch.

My sister and her husband's anniversary is coming up, so I decided to use the challenge sketch to make them a card. The card looks soo much better in person. You really can't see the sparkles from the Stickles on the hearts. Guess I need to take a photography class to learn how to take better pictures and how to use my digital camera.

I still think it turned out really cute! What do you think?

Paper Take Weekly Challenge

After seeing this week's challenge over at Paper Take Weekly I knew that I had to use the stamped frog that my friend Heather gave me.

I wanted to add googlie eyes to the frog but couldn't find any in my stash (they must be buried somewhere). Instead I took two tiny green buttons and added aqua/green Stickles to the center. I think this card turned out great and am really liking the color combo. Will have to try that again!

TCPTUES65

Every week at The Cats Pajamas the Design Team posts a new challenge. This weeks challenge was to create a card using the following colors and posting to the I Heart 2 Stamp blog.

I knew that I didn't have any pattern paper with just those three colors, so I decided to create my own and add some butterflies.

The picture doesn't show it very well, but the butterflies have sparkles from colored Stickles. What do you think?

The Next Level - Challenge 5

This week at The Next Level our challenge was to use the following sketch to create a card.

I still had some paper left over from a patriotic challenge and decided to incorporate it on my card.

I think this turned out pretty cute. I love the little kitty!

Whimsy Stamps - Challenge 8

Whimsy Stamps posted a color challenge this week to use the color combo of red, orange, and yellow. I don't really use much orange on my pages or cards, so this challenge was a little difficult. Let's just say my crafting room is a mess since I went through several paper bins looking for something in the orange family. I took the liberty of using cherry red, peachy orange, and mustard yellow to complete the challenge.

The card didn't turn out too bad! What do you think?

2 Sketches 4 You - sketch 29

2 Sketches 4 You posted a sketch challenge (#29) this week.

I liked the sketch so much that I ended up making two cards using the same cute mouse stamp from Whiff of Joy.

Isn't the mouse just adorable? Can't wait to make more cards using it.

Tag! You're it! & Thank you

We'll I missed a few challenge deadlines this week, but I still wanted to complete the cards and post them to share. This first challenge was to make a card that had a tag somewhere on it.

The second challenge was to use unmatching items to create a card. In this card, I used several different styles of letter stamps to create the word "thanks".
