WCMD Challenge #4

This challenge was to build a card around a stamped image. This is an elaborate paisley stamp that I have not had a chance to use yet. I embossed it in silver, and I think it matches the purple and black patterned paper behind.

WCMD Challenge #3

This challenge was to use Pink, White and Black. I think I will use this as an engagement congratulations card. The dark pink and white patterned paper is the card, the black background behind that is just my computer. The wine bottle and glass are from Summer in Paris.

WCMD Challenge #2

This was a birthday challenge. Glade enough - I've got lots of birthday cards that I need to get made. This was my first attempt with the Robotz cart - that cart has pieces that it cuts that you don't even use!! Honestly, I have several little tiny pieces that even with a magnifying glass I could not figure out where they were supposed to go! The gears down the side are from Paperlace 2.

World Card Making Day Challenge #1

Okay - this first challenge caught me off guard - I am not yet prepared to do Christmas challenges! So while this is a very simple card, it was actually the one that vexed me the most. The Angel is from "inspired heart" and I just wrote Merry Christmas at the bottom. It doesn't show well in the picture, but the background paper is deep blue. And of course, I went around the angel with my beloved glitter glue.

By the way, the challenges were put out by Kassidy at www.inkingitupcrazy.blogspot.com

Happy 40th

My husband's cousin turned 4o in August, but was not around for his birthday. Wanting to do something exciting for the event, he went to Africa for a month - 3 weeks with a volunteer organization, and one week touring on his own. So this card was mean to slighty obscure the 40 in the middle, with the African animals around it. On the inside I wrote that even in deepest, darkest Africa 40 will find you.

Anniversary card

I do like how this turned out. The background paper is embossed with the cuttlebug folder that looks like writing, then I put ink on a cotten ball and lightly went over the raised areas (this took 3 tries before I got it right), but I finally got it.

The Rosh Hashanah collection 2011

I'm glad that holidays don't come too often...though I think i might be done trying to give everyone a different card....it was getting to be a bit much. There are a lot of cards that need to be made right now...But I do enjoy it.
