Mustang

Hello! WOW today is my 10th straight day in a row for a blog post?!! That has to be a record for me?? Better get in gear though because I don't have anything planned yet for tomorrow?!! Today's card is for the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog #59 ~ Leave it Bare. I automatically thought of either their Mustang or Goat stamp (They REALLY need a realistic Cat stamp like this too!!! Hint hint hint ;-) ) I have used both these stamps before with or without coloring an LOVE them done either way! It's also for the Animal Friends Challenge ~ Animal with Fur and the Allsorts Challenge Blog ~ Black and White plus One. Thanks so much for stopping by an I hope you come back again soon!

Mr. & Mrs.

 

Hello! Today's card is for the CAS(E) this Sketch #190 challenge. My mind went straight to wedding card when I saw this sketch. Perfect time to break in this new Kaisercraft die I bought! I used a Stampin Up embossing folder an added some nailheads to flower centers and a MFT Fancy Flourish as accent. I think it would look nice with just pearls as flower centers too? Maybe for my next one! It's also for the CCEE Stampers Challenge #1637 ~ Die Cuts / No Stamping. Thanks for stopping by an come back soon.

Friendship

Hello! Today's card uses the Tuesday Throwdown #311 Sketch Challenge. Another great sketch that I see myself using again. It's also for the Penny Black and More Challenge ~ to Add a Sentiment. I used one of my all time favorite Penny Black stamps, pretty sure this is the first one I bought?? I now have a quite large collection of them! Thanks for stopping by an have a great day!

With Sympathy

 

Hello! Today's card uses the Sketch Saturday #429 sketch. When I first saw it I was a bit stumped but then realized it'd be the perfect sketch to use up some pretty designer paper. It's also for the Mod Squad Challenge to use a sentiment as a focal point. I have more pretty paper to do this with! Thanks so much for stopping by an come back again!

Little Gem with Flowers

Hello! Today's adorable card uses a Pink Gem Designs stamp called Little Gem with Flowers. I think it must be retired now cause I couldn't find it on their website? I am Lovin this pack of paper it's so glittery/sparkly. I got it at Hobby Lobby, It's by Paper Studio an called Uptown Flair. The whole pad is Pinks, Greens, and Black. One of my other new favorite things are these metal nailheads. They are nice an flat compared to pearls or rhinestones. Plus great to use on masculine cards ect.

Hello! Today's card uses the Freshly Made Sketch #253. It's also for the One Crazy Stamper Sept. challenge which is Babies. Good challenge for me as I am low on Baby cards! This card is very CAS and White for me!! I turned some SU stockings into a pair of baby booties. Wish I would have bought this stamp set an punch when it was out! Thankfully stamping friends like to share their toys an I was able to borrow a set an play with it. Thanks for stopping by an have a great day!

Thanks Teacher

Hello! Today's card uses the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Candy Apple. Black, White and Red is one of my favorite color combos!  I used the Pals Paper Arts sketch #316.

Spooky.....

 

Hello! Today's card uses a free Jack-o-lantern digi from Beccy's Place.  I'm entering it in Beccy's Place September challenge. I used the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #175.

Fall Thanks

 

Hello! I seem to be on a roll with my Fall cards! This is for the Stampin' Royalty Challenge SR#344 to use Stripes. The Word Art Wednesday, anything goes challenge. Also another one for the Mod Squad Challenge to use Foliage. Love using my SU oval punches to make pumpkins! I embossed some card stock an ran a ink pad over it before punching out my pieces and assembling them. The center ovals are up on foam tape to give a 3D look. The thanks is a die cut (Hero Arts I believe) that my friend Stacy  (Thanks Stacy!!) sent me, Love the font/style of this one an will have to add it to my never ending wish list! Thanks for stopping by an have a wonderful day!
