LOVE the new sketch at 365 card challenge blog. Here is my take/ spin on the card, there was a fun circle but I switched it out and used a rectangle instead.. had lots of fun with this line from American Crafts.

Day 48 Score a Pattern

I thought this was going to be super easy, but was w bit harder than I thought, since my score was not running the way I thought it would on my trimmer... (that's when a Scor It would be REALLY nice).. the challenge was to score a pattern on the card, I did a rectangle around the corners and then filled in the center for the challenge at 365 cards blog. Here is my take:

Day 47 Pop Up Card

When I first saw this challenge I though how am I going to make one of those, never made one, or even seen one.. but these are sooo fun and really easy too. Here is my take on the Pop Up Card Challenge at the 365 card challenge blog:

Day 46 Matchbox Card

I always thought that Matchbox cards were just the cutest lil things ever.. but never actually made one. For this challenge on Day 46 at 365 card blog they had a fun step by step tut to get me started. This is what I created for the challenge.

It's Britney...... and the Circus

ok, so I have a totally guilty pleasure kind of really girlie thing.. yup I'll say it I like Britney Spears. Always kinda have, and always love her fun, get up and dance songs. So when I heard she was coming in concert for the Circus tour, I was really excited, and yes I did, I got tickets. I went with my lil sis Katelin, talk about the best and most ultimate girlie thing to do. We had really great tickets, in the second section, and the first row, so we saw everything. The concert was in the round, so always something to see and watch. They even had circus performers come on before the concert, to keep the show going, which I thought was pretty cool. I had sooo much fun, and really enjoyed the show, the dancing and choreography was amazing, and so glad to go with my lil sis.

Layout Sketch #91 by Tamara

Such a fun sketch from Tamara this week for layout sketch # 91.. I loved it, and I used it and flipped it around and then used 3 large photos instead of 6 small ones.. Also used the kits from Diane at Two Spotted Dogs with the new We R Memory Keepers, SOOOO fun and the quote was perfect, so I used it, cut it up, and thought it went well with these photos of Syd.

Day 40: Spring Break

I am sooo lovin the new card challenge at 365 card blog, for day 40. The theme is spring break and I have to say I am sooo ready for it, esp since I actually get a couple days off a work, and I'll feelin it.. Just wish at this point, we were still in Cali, so I could actually go to the beach.. and the weather was warm. But for now, I'll just pretend, and this card can put me in the mood.

I always love the new sketches from Inspired Blueprints and this month they have a lot of them going on, in fact 8 sketches all this month. Here is my take on sketch #13...
I also combined it with a challenge over at Serendipity for Spring Cleaning... It was to use PPs from 3 manufacturers and at least 2 old PPs... well I used all old papers for this challenge- Prima, Scenic Route, and Love Elsie. This is one of my fave pics of the kids after the photo shoot we had, while they were just playing on the railroad tracks.

Card A Licious #19

Such a fun challenge and a really girlie one too, so I had lots of stuff and right up my alley. This challenge at the Card A Licious blog for challenge # 19 is: make a thank you card using stripes, polka dots and PINK.... so I was all over that and created this card:

Double Tootin.....

Ok so two really good things happened yesterday and today... It's been awhile, but I got two things of great news...
First, the quilt card I did for the 365 card blog, got picked up in their Basic Grey gallery!!!! YEAH and you can see it here...
Second, My card for the Card Pattern sketch got picked for the top 5 this past week!! The women that play along over there have amazing cards too..

I never thought of myself as much of a card maker, I'm usually more of a layout girl, but have been really into making cards, and quite enjoy it.. Esp when I may not have a ton of time to scrap, but want to do something creative.. Made my day..

Day 39: Wacky Wednesday

Today at the 365 cards challenge blog they have a fun challenge- use the colors green, orange and purple.. I LOVE orange, I LOVE green, and I LOVE orange and green together and have tons of those colors.. now purple.. that is like pulling teeth to find some of that around.. luckily I had some Halloween PP left over, but didn't want to do a Halloween card.. so luckily I think I pulled it off into a fun bday card instead. Add lots of pop dots for the circles and make them jump off the card... what a challenge:)
