Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o

Who says you can't have fun on a Tuesday?

Happy Tuesday, Friends! I am very excited to share with you what I think has to be my VERY FAVORITE creation so far!  This is called a "Neverending Card" Please check out this video to see how this card has earned it's name.... Pardon the poor video quality - it's my first try at videography!  (I think I'll just stick with cardmaking...) Here are better pictures of the card... I think this is such a fun card - it just goes on and on, and on, and on, and on.... and being the big kid that I am, I love "action" cards!  AND , the many dimensions of this card was a great way for me to show case not just one or two, but THREE  new digi's from Di's Digidownloads !  I am also entering this card in the following challenges: All Sorts Challenge #70 - "At Least 3 Punches"  - I used 8 punches on the front of the card. Fussy & Fancy Challenge #19 - "Christmas Colors" - I used Red, Green, White, Vanilla & Gold Spoon

"Grid"

Hello again, Friends! It's time for the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #77: "Grid" My DT Sisters and I challenge you to create a card or project that includes a GRID in some shape or form. This week's Sponsor is Simon Says Stamp Here is my DT creation for this week's "GRID" challenge As you can see, I've been playing with my binding machine again...  I was stumped (again) for this " GRID" challenge so I was just playing around at first with the binder, and this new calendar stamp set & images.  Then all of a sudden  >BAM!<   it hit me:  the calendar is a grid (well, duh!)  So here we are, a 2010-2011 calendar.  Sometimes I feel my projects turn out so much better when I don't plan or think about it too hard.  I just go with the flow...  but boy, do I make a HUGANTUOUS mess during the creative surge process!  Here's a peek at the rest of the calendar....
