This Is What I Am Working On

Good Tuesday Morning to you all. This will be a short post because a have a few appointments to get to today. This is an invitation I am working on for my friend Susan's daughter Amy. She will be coming into town in late May for a baby shower and I offered to make the invitations. I have made 45 so far and I believe that will be enough. I wanted them to be simple but elegant. My Cuttlebug was on fire yesterday...lol. I made all the elements of the card yesterday and today I just have to put them all together.

I hope to be back soon with the challenges for 365 Cards. I have had so much going on that I have not had time to do the challenges so far this week. I have some catching up to do and I hope to get that done tomorrow. Have a glorious day and be sure to find a little time to stamp.

Peace Out

365 Cards End of the Week #55 & #56..whew!!

Hello to all happy Saturday. Well my daughter Chloie (my one and only child) just left for her Senior Prom. She attended Prom last year but she was a Junior. Today she 18 and is a beautiful, sweet, considerate, loving young ladie. I swear I really never took my eyes off of her so I am not sure when this happened...lol. I just adore her she has a very special spirit and a heart of gold. I hopefully will have pictures to share with you all tomorrow. After Prom one of her friend's parents are hosting an after party and the kids can hang out all night if they chose. For those who do stay they will be treated to a pancake breakfast tomorrow morning. I am very greatful for their efforts.

Ok enough gushing cause truly I could go on and on (oops I think I already did...he he). I usually don't put two challenges into one post but needless to say I have bin a wee bit busy the last few days.

The first card is for challenge #55 Card Recipe. We were given a very specific recipe for the card. The CS base had to be 5x5, next a 4x4 DP, one shape that had to be a solid color, 3 jewels/bling and last but not least alpha stickers. I must say it was a little challenging because I tend to over embellish every once in a while...lol.

My second card is for challenge #56 See Through Saturday we had to use clear acetate for the

card base. I used Clear Card Stock from Papertrey and it rock!!! It is thicker than transperencies which gives you a great base and a sturdy card. I believe it takes the inks better too. I used Stazon ink and I think the results were good.

Once again I would like to thank those of you who visit my blog and especially those who take a moment out of their busy day to leave a comment. I will also repeat myself once again and suggest to you to visit 365 Cards. You will meet some of the nicest from all over the world.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and take a little time to stamp. I will be back tomorrow with my card for the Super Sketchy Sunday Challenge #57 at 365 Cards. Until then take care.

Peace Out

Debbie

#54 at 365 Cards

Good Frday morning to all. I woul first like to thank everyone who stops by my blog to take a peek and especially those of you who are kind enough to take the time to leave a commentt. :-)

Ok now yesterday's challenge at 365 Cards was to reuse at least one recylable item on your project. I decided to use an old technique (which may be new to some) reusing a small can that usually contains some sort of fruit snack. The can has to have a pop top and a bottom that can be opened with a safety opener (the kind that separates the can's lid but then the lid can be glued back on. This leaves the pop top in tact so the receiver can pop the top.

The can was one of my reusable items, the blue paper is from a bday card my dh received last month and the Celabrate tag is from a soda can. I cut a piece of the soda can and then ran it through my CB using a smal EF. I then colored it with American Crafts markers. I took a picture of what I usually put inside the can. I made up the little poem and basically it can be used for any type of celebration. I hope that you enjoy this project and maybe will give it a try yourself.

I hope you have a great weekend and find a little time to stamp something. Tomorrow is my dd's Prom and I am as excited as she is. I am picking her up after school and going for pedicures which we both love. Tomorrow I will be doing her hair and makeup for her which I so enjoy. I picked her dress up a couple of days ago from the alteration shop and it fits her like a glove. I will post some pictures as soon as I have them. To those of you who have babies or toddlers dont' blink because all of a sudden they are walking up on stage to get their high school diploma. My advice to you is to savor every moment good & bad because these will be your precious memories some day.

I will be back later with a card for today's challenge at 365 Cards stop by and check it out. All you need to do is click on the icon on my right side bar. See you soon.

Peace Out

Challenge #53 at 365 Cards...Fun With Fruit!!!

Well it's late on Wednesday night and I know for many of you it is already Thursday. We are still in Prom mode here I went to the alterations shop and picked up my daughter's dress it is just gorgeous. This is all so very exciting and my daughter is getting more excited every day. So Saturday is the Prom and the kids will be taken to dinner, then the Prom, and then back home. I had my reservations about the limo but now I realize it is one of the safest way for them to travel.

Well that is all for now I will be back tomorrow/today with a card for #53 for 365 Cards. I was able to take a peek at the challenge and it looks like fun. If you are curious drop by their blog I have an icon on the right side of my blog. I hope to see you there and until then take care.

#51 At 365 Cards Picture This

Hello and good Tuesday morning/afternoon to you all. I am a little behind in posting so I am trying to catch up. Yesterday's challenge at 365 Cards was an inspiration challenge based on this awesome picture. I was captivated by the intense color and went with that. I cased a thank you card that was sent to me with my order from Jessca Knutson at TSG Clear Stamps Of course I aske Jess if it was alright to case her and she said any time she is a great friend. If you would like to stop by Jess's store just click on the addy on the right side of my blog. I think I have mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Jess has some awesome stamp sets and her prices are amazing. Even for those on a budget she has some great mini sets for $5. I am happy with the way this card turned out and I hope you like it too.

Well that's all for now I hope you have a great day and find a little time to stamp something. If you should need some inspiration to get you stamping mojo going stop by 365 Cards.

Clean And Simple #11 Inspiration Challenge

This card is for the CAS#11 challenge at SCS we were given pics from the JC Penny site as our inspiration. I chose this one Here.

This is a great challenge to begin the week with because the theme is always to keep your card Clean And Simple.

I hope you have a wonderful day and take a little time to stamp something.

Sorry No Cards Yet

Good Monday morning to you all. I must apoligize for not posting yesterday but things are very crazy around here as of late. As I have mentioned before my daughter Chloie is graduating high school in just a few weeks and we are down to the wire to complete her online studies. The Prom is this coming Saturday and she is so excited. We pick up her dress on Wednesday from the alteration shop and Friday we go for pedicures. I am going to do her hair ( I did it last year and it came out well). I can not believe my baby girl and only child is 18 and moving on to another chapter in her life. We could not have asked for a better child God blessed us on the day she was born and the blessings just keep coming. We are so proud of the person she has become she will make a wondeful teacher.

Ok on to the job at hand today's challenge at 365 Cards is an inspiration challenge. We are to use this awesome photo as our inspiration for our card today. I promise I will be back later with yesterday's sketch challenge card and todays challenge card. I hope that this photo might inspire you to make a card and post it on the 365 Cards blog. The DT is wonderful and all the Ladies who particiapte in the challenges are lovely and so encouraging.

#49...What!!! That Went Fast!

Ok this is the last scoring challenge at 365 Cards it was to make an accordian card. The great thing about it is there are quite a few ways to fold and make an accordian card. I used CS that measured 12x5 and then scored at 4 & 8 inches. Easy peasy and then the fun began which was chosing the DP and other goodies. I decided to use ribbong and magnets to keep the card closed it worked out pretty well.

I hope you have taken some time to drop in at 365 Cards there will be new sponsers and a lot of fun going on in the coming months. I can not wait to see what the Ladies have in store for us. I hope to see you there. Until then have a great day and try to find some time to stamp.

Peace Out

#48 Another Scor-it challenge at 365 Cards

Good Friday morning...yes it's Friday again (not that I'm complaining) it seend as thought the weeks are going by even faster than usual around here. I am sure this has a lot to do with the fact that we are getting our Daughter ready for Prom, Graduation from HS and starting College.

Whew I am getting to old for all of this excitment...lol.

Ok on to my card I did this 3x3 note card for the SCS challenge TLC216. The challenge was to use parts of a soda can on your card. I cut open the can and ran a piece of it through my CB using one of the small EF. I then colored the image with Amercian Crafts markers. I think it came out pretty well and even better is once again stampers use yet another medium to make a card.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and find a little time to stamp. I will be back later with my card for the 365 Cards Challenge #48 which is another scoring challenge. You must stop by 365 Cards today because it is not to late to do all or just one of the challenges to be put into a drawing for a Scor-it.
