Yes, more challenges

OK, I did this card as a challenge card- are you suprised. I love Julie's blog- http://outtoimpress.blogspot.com/2009/03/celebrating-300k-day-2.html- and found that she was doing a challenge. The object was to CASE (copy and share) one of her cards- so I cased this card-

I love this card, it is so bright and fun. It makes me smile, just like it is supposed to. :) My version of this card is below:

Now I have to say that I looked at Julie's card in the early am and made mine in the late afternoon. I am not sure I actually CASEd it at all, but oh well. The main image in my head was the background flower with the ribbon on top and a word bubble (can't think of the right word here) in the middle with some bling. I new I didn't want to use a flower, too same-same, so went with a star. I was WAY off the mark and am not even sure I like this card- but anyway, here it is.

Oh, and did you notice the button? I think I mentioned this, but I love buttons. :)

Ultimate Stampin' Kit

Have you ever wanted to sign up to be a demonstrator? For those of you that do, keep reading for more information. For those of you that find this prospect too scary or too much of a committment...keep reading!

OK, maybe that is confusing, but what I am saying is that if you want to be a demonstrator you can sign up, but if you don't want to be a demonstrator, just like your hobby, you can still sign up and simply get the ultimate stamping kit. Either way, NOW is the time to do it because this is deal of the Century!!!

Through March 31st Stampin' Up! is offering:

• 15 % discount on the starter kit (not obligated to make sales!)


• free stamp set up to $47.95


• AND a three easy payments program ($56.34/month for three months- + tax on month one)

This is a value of $360+!!!!

Although this offer expires soon, the three payment option (not 15% discount and free stamp set) is an option through April 31st. Contact me for more information.

mmmm...good!

Don't these little cupcakes look yummy!? My husband saw this and said, "thanks a lot, now I want a cupcake!" Haha, maybe if you buy me those stamps I mentioned below! ;)

Now can we talk about a few of my new favorite things? First, I love the Wagon Full of Fun stamp set, so versatile, so cute. Second, I love the button boquet! I have had this for quite a while and it has been sitting in my pile-o-stampin' stuff, but I have been using them like crazy lately. My next goal is to do this with my hodgepodge hardware (hardly touched) and my clips (again, hardly touched)- it is just a matter of learning fun ways to use them. So I highly recommend this stamp set and the button boquet!

Oh and may have mentioned but I LOVE doing challenges! I made this card for two challenges. The first challenge is the mojo monday challenge- http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/ here is the sketch:

I also did the splitcoast inspiration challenge from Saturday- http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=427166. This challenge uses something for inspiration. In this case the host chose Little Daisy Designs on Etsy- http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=427166. These dresses are so adorable!!! Maybe I'll get my Sophie one. Who by the way got her first haircut yesterday and looks so big now- a happy and sad moment for me! Anyway, I chose this dress, it is so fun.

Thanks for stapping by!

Girls Rule...Boys Drool! :)

When I saw this set, I thought it would be great to get. I don't have any masculine sets so why not. Then I was thinking, well it shouldn't only be for guys- what about girls. So I made this fun page layout using pink and gray. All supplies are SU except the punch was a Martha Stewart punch. Anyway, I had fun with it, I hope you like it too.

Here is a close up for you to see everything. I colored the tools in pink and grey. I used a couple of brads, thinking they looked like nails. The "He who has the most tools wins" saying has a chipboard S in front of it for She and embossed with silver embossing powder. I was tempted to put Boys Drool, but didn't :)

Huggabugg 2

I loved that other Huggabugg card so much that I decided to make another. :) Same layout, just turned and another huggabugg that Tracey gave me- thanks again Tracey. This time I decided to change up the colors. These huggabuggs by Stamping Bella are soooo cute! Maybe my husband will buy me one- hope he's reading!!! ;)

Huggabugg

This fun little Huggabugg by Stamping Bella is so cute isn't it!!! I love it. This was stamped for me (along with a few other images) and sent with the birthday card from Tracy, remember this post- http://kbstamps.blogspot.com/2009/03/oldie-but-goodie.html. So nice. I was working on Kristina Werner's color challenge- http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/?p=1044 - and whipped this little girl out. I thought wouldn't it be fun to use her and make the dress blue rather than a girly color, so I did, colored her in bashful blue, which also matches the buttons. :)

Here is teh color pallete Kristina choose, fun isn't it.

While I was out there blurfing tonight (aside- isn't that a funny word- blog surfting= blurfing??) I found this sketch challenge on Caardvarks- http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2009/03/did-you-ever-know-that-youre-my-hero.html. I never have time to complete too many challenges although I love them so why not combine them.
