Pink Challenge

I’ve been a little behind on posting to my blog, but I have been keeping busy.  School has started back and we are nose deep in scouts, taekwondo, and 4^th grade.  We’ve been keeping our Wednesday night scrapping nights as much as possible; I just haven’t taken any pics to proof it.  I reorganized the craft room, so it’s now the Scrap Room.  I am still getting used to the new layout of the room, still trying to figure out where everything is and all.  I think I will really like it once the newness wears off.  With the reorganization, I’ve been able to do a little more than just Wednesdays.  I was able to get a few hours in there yesterday and today and get some projects done.  Very therapeutic.

So one of the blogs I’ve been visiting has a weekly challenge (and surprisingly this project counts towards a couple of other challenges on other blogs).  October is Breast Cancer Month, and to kick it off, her challenge is to make a card and use PINK.  So here is my contribution to the challenge.  I used a premade card blank, and then made flowers from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  Those were made with Colonial White cardstock and inked with Sorbet.  I used a nestabilities oval die cut and used the Bliss stamp set with Sorbet for the sentiment.  The ribbon is from when I first started scrapbooking (no telling where it came from) but it’s like little doilies with adhesive already on it and it was also inked in Sorbet.  I inked all my edges with Sorbet.  I “frosted” the flowers and the oval with Diamond Dust (from Hobby Lobby).

So here are the challenges this cute little card was entered into

Crafty Chick's Weekly Challenge #15

I was in charge of this week's challenge.  My points were:
1. Use the pagemap layout (single or double, your choice).
2. Do not use flowers, but another embellishment instead.
3. Use chipboard/grungeboard.
4. Use paint somewhere on the LO.

Here's the LO:

I am currently working on this challenge.  I will post pics as soon as I complete it.

Crafty Chick's Weekly Challenge #13

AnnMarie brought the challenge this week…

"Since it’s my birthday week, I am all about birthday cards.

Make 4 birthday cards with the following themes:

1)      A child

2)      A male

3)      A friend

4)      Something with Red!"

Again, this challenge came in quite handy for me.  Some of the cards were for birthdays, but 2 were for other occasions.

Card for a child: used “Simply Sweet” for this baby card ~ my cousin just had a baby boy.  The white paper is a glitter paper and I used an older border punch on it.

Card for a male: used “Lite: Dude” cut and a stamp for this one, also used my Irock for the brad looking embellishments in the corner.

Card for a friend: another cousin was getting married this weekend and this is the card for them.  I used my Irock again for the gems on this one and a set of wooden letters from AnnMa.

Something Red: a birthday card with some red ribbon and paper.  I also used a mix of stamps (MS, and 2 other brands I can't remember their names) with CTMH holiday red ink.  Yes, the patterned paper is the same as on the wedding card.  Too pretty not to use again and again. :)
