A Valentine

2011-02-15T14:32:00.000-08:00

Here's a valentine I made for my daughter with the Pink Elephant valentine's challenge and for the Easy Craft Projects Challenge to use a love theme.. This is also for the Paper Sundaes challenge. At Paper Sundaes who could choose your toppings I used pink, distressing, and a flower. The papers are from GCD Studios and the elephant sticker is from the Target $ spot.

Some cards

2010-07-17T18:52:00.001-07:00

My first card is for the Card Patterns sketch. I was able to use some coordinating Heidi Grace papers I got on clearance at Joanns awhile ago. It was difficult to get everything even, but I think the imperfections are what make a homemade card more treasured.

My second card is for the color challenge at the Play Date Cafe. The colors are purple, lilac, and lime green. This worked out perfectly because my niece whose birthday is tomorrow loves these colors!

Thanks for stopping by!

2S4Y

2010-03-20T18:18:00.000-07:00

Here's a card I made with the packaging from Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl line. When I saw the paper insert in the front I was convinced I could make a card with it and this card proves that. I followed the sketch at 2S4Y this week.

A Card for Many Challenges

2010-02-13T10:59:00.000-08:00

It's been awhile since I posted my crafty creations but this card was made with a few specific challenges in mind. I used Sketch Girl 11 for the layout. I have hearts for the Daring Cardmakers challenge. This works for Flutter By because it has an angel on a love card. This card is for one I love which is the Pile It On challenge and the ABC challenge fits because the border flowers are a recent purchase at the LSS. Enjoy your weekend of love!

Challenges Galore by Jo

2009-08-10T08:34:00.000-07:00

I wanted to make the most of my crafting time this weekend so I combined lots of challenges. I used the sketch from ICS, the Pile It On no PP challenge, the Stamp Something charm challenge, and the Caardvarks winter theme challenge.

Pink Elephant and Card Patterns by Jo

2009-07-05T15:31:00.001-07:00

Here's my card for this week's Card Patterns sketch. I changed the butterfly to a flower to use the hand cut flower that my daughter found a pattern for. I also used my favorite color combo, pink and purple, for the Pink Elephant challenge this week.

ICS #22 and Use It #16 by Rob

2009-06-29T11:46:00.000-07:00

This card is for the Use It #16 and ICS #22. I used the new paper that my cousin got me. I think its more boyish which is just what I need. I don't always like all the girly paper everyone else uses on Sunday when we do challenges.

~Rob

ICS #22 and Use It #16 by Jac

2009-06-29T11:41:00.001-07:00

For this card I use ICS #22 and Use It #16. One of the Use It requirements was to use our fave embellihsment. My fave embellishment is bling so I used plenty on this card. Also my sister will get this card since its supposed to go to someone special.

ICS #22 and Use It #16 by Jo

2009-06-29T11:31:00.000-07:00

I combined Use It #16 and ICS #22 for this card. The card started with the circles from the sketch combined with the nature inspriation and evolved from there. I handcut these guys from Friendly Forest by Colobok.

CPS Sketch by Jac

2009-06-18T10:44:00.000-07:00

I made this Father's Day card using the CPS sketch from this week. My dad is a big sports fan so I went with a football sports theme.

Card Combo by Jo

2009-06-14T16:21:00.001-07:00

This week we only had about two hours to craft and since I usually take awhile to make even one card I knew I had to combine challenges if I wanted to get more than one done. So I did three challenges on one card. The Use It challenge was to use pink, scallops, and a tag. This worked well with the Card Patterns sketch that included a scalloped component and the Pink Elephant challenge to use pink, brown, and white. This card is for a good friend who is having a baby girl soon and I hope she enjoys it.

Combo Card by Jac

2009-06-14T16:12:00.000-07:00

This week when we were crafting we didn't have much time so we combined three challenge sites for one big challenge. The Use It challenge was to use pink, scallops, and a tag. This worked well with the Card Patterns sketch that included a scalloped component and the Pink Elephant challenge to use pink, brown, and white. I love this cute little deer stamp that my cousin has and have been waiting for a good chance to use it.

ICS #18 by Jo

2009-06-01T18:39:00.000-07:00

Here's my card for the ICS #18 challenge. The bird is from the Making Memories paper I picked up on clearance last weekend. I decorated him with lots of Stickles.

Use It Challenge by Jac

2009-05-30T21:47:00.000-07:00

This is my card for the Use It Challenge this week. I had fun with this challenge and let my chipboard pieces be my inspiration. I used the stitching requirement to fill the space between my saying and the frame. I also followed the Card Patterns sketch from last week for this one but wasn't in time to actually enter the card. I guess I'll have to check deadlines before I start with sketches.

Use It Challenge by Jo

2009-05-30T21:44:00.001-07:00

I made this card for the Use It challenge this week. The challenge was simpler this week than it has been in the past but hard for me. It might seem crazy but I'm not a big fan of chipboard and had a really hard time incorporating it. But I thought the pie went well with the birthday sentiment. My stitching is the stem and leaves and the tearing is the flower itself.

Stamp Something by Rob

Here's the card I made with the Stamp Something sketch. I used orange and black because those are my school colors.

ICS by Jo

2009-05-25T10:04:00.000-07:00

This is my card for the ICS Sketch this week. When I saw the circles on this sketch I knew that the funky circle trim I picked up on clearance would work perfect.

Stamp Something by Jo

2009-05-25T09:59:00.000-07:00

Here's my card for the Stamp Something sketch from this week. I use a sentiment from Studio G and the flowers are from Scrappy Cat.

Use It Challenge by Jo

2009-05-25T09:54:00.000-07:00

Here's my card for the Use it challenge this week. It was quite a bit of stuff to fit on one card but the challenge is part of the fun.

Pink Elephant's Inspirational Play Along by Jo

2009-05-17T13:41:00.000-07:00

Pink Elephant started a new feature called Inspirational Play Along. Here's the card I made based on the plate used for inspiration. I used the cuttlebug to emboss the different elements as well as to cut the flowers out.

ICS #16 by Jac

2009-05-17T13:37:00.001-07:00

Here's my card based on this week's ICS sketch. I used DCWV Rock Queen papers and Hero Arts stamps.
