No Time To Stamp?

Falling Leaves – This challenge was actually inspired by an upcoming Bridal Shower I was asked to make a card for.  A great theme for this time of year!  So today’s challenge is to incorporate leaves into our projects — any type of leaves, any type of card or project — let’s just see some [...]

Ribbon Scraps – Waste not, want not!  I think we all save even the tiniest of our ribbon scraps, right?  I know I do.  Today’s challenge is to use ribbon scraps on our card or project.  You may use as many as you want, just make sure it’s a scrap, a small piece.  You can [...]

One Layer Cards – Today’s challenge is brought to us by Barbara Anders and here is what Barbara says:  I’m challenging everyone to make a one layer card. That means only the card base–not the base + one other layer–no layers allowed, LOL! Embellish however you want–ribbon, buttons, bling, scoring–anything goes, but no layers.  Sounds [...]

With all due respect to Mother Teresa, I just love to have some fun with titles!  Today I combined two challenges — the sketch is from CPS174 and I also found time to play in The Shabby Tea Room again.  Their challenge this week was to incorporate embossing into your project.  I dry embossed my [...]

ABC/123– Today’s challenge has to do with making letters or numbers a focal point of our project.  Steve and I are celebrating our 25th Anniversary this week, so visions of cards in a store display with 25 or 50 on them came to mind — LOL!!!  However, we have lots of options using numbers or [...]

It’s the first of the month again, so that means another fun Flower Soft Blog Hop! Our challenge this month was to create a Halloween themed project using our favorite Flower Soft. Well, my card is more fall or autumn than it is Halloween, so in keeping with the spirit of things, I went with [...]

Today begins the Mega JustRite Font Blog Hop and with 54 designers sharing ideas it continues through tomorrow as well.  Be sure to read through to the end of my  post.  Tons of links are shared as well as info on the week long Font Sale at JustRite and some fun Blog Candy offerings.  Now, on to my project.  I have a [...]

We’ve received an unusual number of wedding invitations this summer, far more than normal.  But I guess it’s just the cycle.  25 years ago (in October) we got married, and though we were a bit older than most to be newly married, we shared those years of baby showers, birthing stories and years of birthday [...]

I often think clean and simple is the way to go with sympathy cards, and even moreso when it needs to be a masculine sympathy card.  That’s what I did here today — clean and simple, black and white. This card is a favorite size of mine of late – 5.25″ x 7.75″.  I have [...]

Today I have a Buttons and Bows card for a baby boy!  And even with buttons and bows it does look boyish enough — for a newborn anyway!   The card is quite simple, using a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background and machine stitching on the focal image. I made this for our newest great-nephew, [...]
