DDC Bev's 9/29 Sketch Challenge

I love Beverly's sketch challenges (shout out to Beverly!) If you haven't tried one, you need to check them out. She's beestamper on Splitcoast Stampers and you can see her blog here.

When I saw the sketch design, Baroque Motifs immediately came to mind. I also thought of my window sheets with the flourish on it, but it has the word "thanks" on it. So, I decided not to try to incorporate that one. Anyway, I love the color Rose Red and I think it worked out well for this challenge. It's very feminine and fun :)

Thanks for looking - hope you have a great day!

DDC 9/8 Button Card

I was finally able to play along with some of the Double Dog Dare challenges from Splitcoast last week. Here is my Button challenge card. I bought this retired snowman set a while ago, but hadn't had the chance to use him. I think he's super cute! I would have used more buttons, but thought it would be too many if I squeezed any more on the card ;) TFL and have a great day!

More Cicle Circus Bookmark Cards

Since I had more of the In Color Circle Circus One Sheet Wonder left, I decided to make some more bookmark cards using the other In Colors. I've decided that Razzleberry is my favorite! Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Circle Circus One Sheet Wonder/Bookmark Card

My friend Michelle (Hi Michelle!) and I traded stamped images of some of the new SU! catalog hostess and other stamp sets a couple months ago. She asked for some one sheet wonders stamped with the new In Colors using the Circle Circus set. I stamped one for myself and was going to make the bookmark cards (for the swap) using this sheet. I like the card, but for some reason, went with the Christmas paper/colors and different design. I do like this one and think I'll make some more using each new In Color to have on hand to give to friends at work (I'm in a book club) for birthdays. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Bookmark Swap Card

I recently joined a bookmark card swap with my SU! sistahs :) You can see all of them posted on my sister's blog here.

I had originally designed another card (which I will post tomorrow), but for some reason, decided on this design instead! I think I'm really in the Christmas kind of spirit for making things. I love this new paper and ribbon!

I'm not sure what is going on with that big "W" watermark! Sorry about that.

Have a great day and read a good book!

Anniversary Trifold

I recently celebrated my 14th wedding anniversary. I have been wanting to try the trifold card and decided that this was the occasion to do it! I took these pictures after I had given the card to my husband, so didn't take pictures of the inside because my sentiments are there and they are only for his eyes ;) I love this retired DSP - cute and great colors! I used an assortment of stamps all over this card and really had fun decorating it. The possibilities for the trifold card are endless! I found the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers and it was relatively easy. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Meg's Dog-gone Birthday!

My friend loves dogs and has a birthday coming next week. I wanted to give her an altered pocketbook calendar, like I usually do. This year, I found some with a cover. In years past, I gave her ones that I covered on the outside and she said they got messed up in her purse. So, I think she'll be pleased with this one. I had to make her a doggie card to go with it. Thanks for looking and have a "terruffic" day!
