Denise B's day 5 challenge card

I think I have impressed myself this week by actually crafting every day!!
Thanks to Denise B at http://allthingsstamped.blogspot.com/ for the motivation to be creative every day this week. What's the challenge next week? LOL She is averaging about 20 submissions a day with some awesome cards!! Check them out!
so here were the rules for today: 1) Make a monogram card using stamps, stickers or die cuts for the letters of the monogram 2) You must use your favorite color paper for the card base and any pattern papers 3) You must use ribbon on your card 4) You must use some sort of scallop on your card...scallop circle punch, scallop trim.
And here is my card:

Denise B's day 4 challenge card

Here were today's rules :

Tag...your it! 1) Your card must contain a tag somewhere in the design. 2) Your card must contain the color red somewhere in the design...any shade of red. 3) Your card must have some sort of bling in the design...anything shiney will count as bling....brads, eyelets, rhinestones, stickles, glitter...all counts as bling. 4) When you post a link in the comments you must tell me these three things 1) favorite color 2) favorite song 3) favorite candy

]I'm not sure that the pic shows that the letters have glitter on them. more sparkly

in real life.

My favorite color is BLUE Favorite song is To Sir With Love

Favorite candy is Caramello!!

We are everywhere!!!

Today I walk into the office( I work in an elementary school) and I notice a gorgeous handmade card hanging on the bulletin board.

With in 3 seconds I recognize the paper as scenic route, I recognize a cuttlebug embossed phrase! I'm thinking who made this? Because I know there are only about 4 of us that do paper crafts at my school, so I read it and it is from our new Data Prep that works in the office. So I go in her office and say "are you a stamper or a scrapper?" she replies 'both'!!! so we chatted about crafting for about 5 minutes, till i had to go get me kids from lunch. Darn work interferring with my crafting connections!!

As my husband would say " We are everywhere!!!!"
can't wait to have more than 5 minutes to chat with her about stamping!!

DB day 3 card challenge

today's challenge cards for Denise B. I made a pocket card, but wasn't sure if that qualified as a funky fold, I also made a buckle card.

the rules were: 1) It can be any size card but can not fold in half 2) It must be decorated on the inside and outside 3) You must spell out a word using stickers, thickers, die cuts or alphabet stamps 4) It has to have polka dots.

I used my sizzlets alphabet - Fruit smoothie for the lettering. The pocket card will be for a coworker who is leaving. I think I'll turn the buckle card into a bday card for another coworker.

The paper is from Scenic Route, which next to SU is some of my favorite decorative paper!!

Looking forward to tomm's challenge!!

DB day 2 card challenge

today's challenge was Black and white, no background paper and use only black ink.
My 1st thought was to use my long neglected Stinkin Cute set (skunks)

but then as I pulled it out I found all these other neglected sets that might also look nice in a black and white setting!
So I stamped out the skunks and the lighthouse and the truck. Then as I started creating I found that I liked the truck and lighthouse cards better than the skunk!!
I also am finding that I have way to much stuff that I never use! For the lighthouse I set the image to the side so I could put white eyelet to the other side. Well I have about a million eyelets in all sorts of pretty colors and shapes, but hardly any whites!!!

I could only find white in hearts and flowers, so I went with the flowers.

Can't wait till tomm. I'm starting to love challenges!!

Denise B. over at http://allthingsstamped.blogspot.com/ has a daily challenge going on this week. I love her work, and her blog, so I figure I will give her challenges a try this week. I actually needed to make a card today, because a coworker, (teacher) was bitten by a child today. He bit hard enough to draw blood!! It now is a big ordeal, because she will have to get Rabies shots, and be tested for HIV! Scary stuff. so I wanted to make her a card to show I'm thinking of her as she goes thru this tough time.
