Paper Players Challenge #17 - A Word for You

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday night. Tonight's card is for the Paper Players Challenge # 17. It was LeAnne's turn to host the inspiration challenge this week. I must admit, it was an interesting challenge! The color combo is great - pink, black and white.... but I had this issue with the baby dressed in black. I don't know why.... I think it goes back to my mother. Mother always said, children should never wear black. Obviously that was running around in my head because I kept looking at the pic and thinking what a super cute child... .but she's wearing... Read more →

Better to travel well.... and Feel Good Friday... and shout out to Cam

Hi Everyone. Happy Friday. I'm sorry I wasn't able to post last night. I started work at around 6.30am and finished at 8.40pm. Had dinner and then went back and worked for about another hour. Tonight's card is clean and simple in lines and colors. I love this color combination. I also love the sentiment. I thought the sentiment fit really well with tonight's story. I never ceased to be amazed by some young people. People who use their amazing talents for the good of others. Who take their prodigious abilities and make other people's lives better. I found out...

Butterfly Trio

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. Tonight's card is one of the RAKs that I created for Sparkly Hannah day, it is for a young lady fighting breast cancer. I used a sketch layout from the Go To Sketches edition of Papercrafts magazine in May 2010. Sometimes, I just get stuck into a rut using the same layouts, and this magazine forces me to get out of my comfort zone. I liked the look of the layout on page 96. I also used a color challenge from stampinwithstacey. The color scheme was More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Kraft and Early Espresso. This made... Read more →

Winter Post

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. Tonight's card is one that I introduced in my bow tying video. It uses the Winter Post set (which I love, btw). It takes a little time to build this card, but I was very happy with it. Here's a closeup of the couple skating I used night of navy for the card stock. I cut out the circle using my nestabilities - but you could easily do it with your circle scissors plus. Once I had the hole cut out, I ran it through my Big Shot with a texturz plate. I didn't want a... Read more →

Cracked Glass

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday night. Very quick post for you tonight... I am running really late. The challenge across at notimetostamp this week was to use a technique. The technique - cracked glass. Well, I had never used that technique before, so was quite happy to give it a try. The finished product is supposed to look like... well, someone cracked the glass. I think this card definitely fits the bill. I don't often do technique challenges, so it was pretty cool to really force myself out of my comfort zone. Here's the card I made The stamp is one...
