The Third Time's the Charm?

Drum roll please.... Post #3 for today! Woo-hoo! (Check here for my Magnolia card and here for my DSB card.)

This card is for the January sketch on Jen del Muro's i{heart}2stamp blog, part of her SFYTT (Sketch For You To Try) monthly challenge.  The sponsor was The Cat's Pajamas and although we didn't have to use their stamps, I am a TCP fan and was happy to use some TCP stamps on my card.

I just love those little TCP penguins! They always look like they're having such a good time!

Magnolia Recipe Challenge

Wow, two posts in one day! (Scroll down to see my weekly DigiStamp Boutique card.) It's been a while since I participated in a challenge, so I decided to play along with this recipe challenge from the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog.

The recipe called for 4 flowers, 3 different patterned papers, 2 Magnolia stamps and 1 ribbon. I paired this adorable Tilda with the Magnolia bench. (I love that stamp - it looks so cute with all the sitting Tildas & Edwards!)  Although the green paper looks solid it actually has a very subtle floral pattern on it. The green and paisley papers are both from the Tiffany stack by We R Memory Keepers. Other supplies: pink swirl dp (Paper Studio), flowers (Prima), ribbon (Michaels), leaf punch (MS), copper brads, pop-dots and Copic markers.

DSB Birthday Greetings

Today's DSB card features the adorable Shelly from the Murtle and Shelly collection.

Supplies: Shelly turtle with cake (DSB), kraft and pink cardstock, Noir Palette ink (TAC), ribbon (Michaels), greeting (retired-TAC), pink swirl db (Paper Studio), Simply Delightful stack (My Minds Eye), glitter brads (We R Memory Keepers) and Copic markers.

Be sure to visit the DigiStamp Boutique on Monday to check out the new releases!

A Promise Kept

When I cleaned out my craft room recently, I found myself hesitating over a flower punch that I'd bought but never used much. I decided to keep it, but made a promise to myself that I would use it soon. Thus the inspiration for today's card. Not only did I use that poor forgotten punch, all the paper is from my scrap stash and the flower rick rack is from an old PWCO PaperCard Kit.

Supplies: Picnic Fun plaid paper (A Walk in the Park Collection, Echo Park), buttons (Paper Studio), ribbon (Michaels), sentiment (retired-TAC), Noir Palette Ink (TAC), leaf punch (Emagination) and assorted cardstock scraps.

An Almost Not-So-Fab Friday

My original Fab Friday project had some, ummm, "technical difficulties". But, I have a wonderful project link to share with you instead!

I ran across this adorable Valentines project on Laurie Schmidlin's Just Give Me Stamps blog the other day and bookmarked it:  Heart-Shaped Goodie Box . I've been looking for an excuse to buy those heart-shaped Nesties. ;-)
 
You'll have to scroll down part way to find the heart shaped box tutorial. On your way down, check out the link for her mini notecard holder. It's pretty awesome, too!

Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be checking in on Sunday with a new DigiStamp Boutique card and I may even sneak in another card on Saturday.

Oops!

I finished my Wednesday with Wings card Monday, photographed it on Tuesday but completely forgot to schedule my post for today! I remembered at work - eek! This will be a fast post, because I have to go back to work shortly to sell tickets for tonight's basketball game.

This week's card has a definite vintage feel from the dainty violets (Flower Trio set) to the rich vintage papers (Juliette SWIC with Kraft & Ivory TAC cardstock). I used Prismacolor pencils and OMS to color in the images. (I don't have the right Coic colors. My purple selection is growing, but it's not there yet.)

Other supplies: Burnt Umber Palette ink, MS daisy border punch, dark brown ribbon, flat-backed pearls, distressing tool

DigiStamp Dinos

After some debate, I've decided to leave Sunday as my "DigiStamp Boutique day". So, here's this week's card, which features the adorable Rex and Roxy.

 

I think they make a cute baby card - something a little different from the usual (often girly) stuff. Perfect for a baby boy, especially. (The dp is from a mat stack that I bought at Hobby Lobby.)
