Midnight Madness #22 & Peachy Keen Stamps #13

Tonight I started late on my card and finally finished. I used theMidnight Madness Sketch #22 shown here and the Peachy Keen challenge #13: use Blue, Purple, include a stamped image, a sentiment and at least 3 snowflakes. I gotta admit, I was unsure of these colors at first...I was like what the....LOL...BUT then, I started adhering it all together and I think these colors really work! So, it wasn't so bad after all ;) I used Elegant Eggplant cardstock and Bordering Blue from Stampin' Up and the ink was also Elegant Eggplant. The penguin is Stampin Up and the Merry Christmas from Hampton Art - Whimsical Holiday. (the Hampton Art set I have for sale if you are interested please e-mail me at charlene@sweetscrapdeal.com)

Cute Card Thursday #81 & Paper Maniac Challenge #3

I made this card for Cute Card Thursday #81 and Paper Maniac Challenge Sketch#3. (I'm combining Tuesdays with Thursdays this week) :) I used Paper Maniac's sketch here on the right. Cute Card Thursday's challenge was to use a charm. I have some that were from Maya Road, so I used the one that says 'wish'. This went with my Unity Stamp Co. stamp. :) Of course I had to use more Cosmo Cricket Earth Love paper too! Love it!
Also...I have NO idea why Blogger decided to turn my pic when I uploaded it! I tried it SEVERAL times and still it uploaded weird. I reported this to Blogger. :)

The Pink Elephant #35 & Simon Says Stamp

I made this adorable Halloween card at a Stampin' Up Meet up through Laura Thorpe. She got the design from Connie over at Inkspired Treasures. I don't really make Halloween cards, but I love this one! I just love the skelly and dog plus the cute little saying. It made the "bite" out of the card just perfect. I wouldn't mind making more Halloween cards like this one! I'm using this card for The Pink Elephant Challenge #35 which was to use the colors Black, Orange, Purple and White. And also Simon Says Stamp, which was to make a Halloween card. Here is my card:

2 Sketches 4 You Laura #36 & The Cuttlebug Spot # 51 & Flourishes Timeless Tuesday!

For this card I used the 2 Sketches 4 You Laura's sketch #36 the "pink" challenge # 51 from The Cuttlebug Spot, and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC36) - to make a Breast Cancer Awareness Card.

I used paper from SEI & Stampin' Up. I ran the pink cardstock through the Cuttlebug using the swiss dots template. I cut the words out with my cricut and the pink breast cancer bow was a "&" that I cut with the cricut then cut out. I would have liked to have stamped an image on this, but I did not have the word "hope"! I'll have to get one... :)

Rubber Stamp Chat Oct & Cupcake Craft Week 60

I decided to redo my RSC for October because I forgot I have some Bombshell stamps! Since they are hosting it, I wanted to use them...plus if I win, I'll be entered in their October contest too! :) How cool is that. Plus it gave me a chance to practice my coloring. I tried something new since I don't have a lot of Copic's yet, I squished my stamp pad down to get some ink on the lid, then used my copic blender to pick up the color, then colored her in.

I used the colors shown, the green is Handsome Hunter, all by Stampin' Up. I just learned this technique in a Stampin' Up meet up group through Laura Thorpe. Thanks Laura!!
I also incorporated the Cupcake Craft Challenge Week 60 which was "Thanks a Bunch". Mahalo is a Hawaiian word meaning thanks, gratitude, admiration, praise, esteem, regards, respects...perfect for my card!
Here is the Rubber Stamp Chat sketch and my card:

Apron Strings #10, RSC Oct & Unity Week #3

Happy Monday!
It's a gorgeous day in CA! Just wish I could be outside scrapping! Or be in a sun room. I love the warmth of the sun! But then I suppose I would get sleepy and want to take a nap and wouldn't get any scrapping done! hahaha :)
Ok, so no scrapping just card making here today!
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Apron Strings offered a challenge to make a pink card. I combined this challenge with the Rubber Stamp Chat Challenge HERE and also the Unity Bachelor Challenge Week #3, which was to use polka dots and plaid. I like how this polka dot/plaid card turned out much better than my previous one! I used my cricut to cut the scalloped circles and the paper is Making Memories. The ribbon is Maya Road.

A Winner!

The winner from my World Card Making Day Giveaway is Purple Princess!

Fabulous card! Love the papers and the stamps of course! My favorite technique right now is distressing. I like to ink up the edges or use some sand paper on the cardstock.
