Animal Card

Here is a new card I created for Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday. The challenge was to create a card with an animal. For this card I again used some odds and ends of other projects that I had on hand. The paper I used was from a Martha Stewart paper pack. The giraffe and palm leaves are stickers from Sandylion. The sentiment stamp was from Close to my Heart: Childhood Set. The little stiched circle stamp on my green sheet is from CTMH also, it is part of the Connections set. The ink I used throughout the project is Sweet Leaf from CTMH.

Candy Tin Project

I am amazed that I was able to get a new project done this week! The boys haven't been napping well and we have been out and about a few days too! But I did manage it and I am happy with the result! I found a great new challenge blog out there that uses CTMH product, it is Heart 2 Heart Challenges! I am a big fan of CTMH and wanted to try out their new challenge..which was to do anything but a card. So I decorated up this candy tin that I have had sitting in my scrap stuff for a long time!
I used the Caprice paper set and stickers from CTMH, flowers from the white daisy flower pack, chocolate brads, and the Treasure Life stamp set for the saying. I colored a few flowers with the Crystal Blue stamp pad. I did use some rhinestone swirls from Prima also. Let me know what you think!

Baby Card

I am on a roll this week! I have completed my second card for my second challenge. It is 12:30 at night when I am posting this, but I am running on a card making high :)

This card was created for the challenge at Always Playing With Paper The challenge was to create a card for a new baby! I used my scraps (again) from the Animal Crackers set from Close to My Heart. I inked the edges of my paper with Autumn Teracotta from Close to My Heart. The ribbon is from American Crafts and the stamp "Tiny Miracle" is something I had on hand. It was quick and easy to put together!

I am going to pay for this in the morning when my children wake up at 6:00! But I had a fun creating this card and look forward to being part of another competition!

First Try!!

This is my first try at doing a challenge and posting it. This card is for Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays. The challenge was to create a shaped project! I used an old line from My Little Yellow Bicycle. I believe this line came out last summer...I just used bits and pieces that I had left over from other projects that I used this line for. I hope you like it!
