Card Heart Card

This card is for Challenge #3 from Late Night Stampers. I actually had enough time to finish it before I went to work so I am able to post it much earlier than I thought I would be able too.

I use the Love You Much bundle with Ruby Red, Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock. I only used Real Red Classic Ink.

I am going to make about 50 of these for my kids to take to school on Valentines Day. So, this challenge gave me what I needed to get started.

Hope you like it!:

Sundays Challenge

SCS does not offer challenges on Sunday so I had to get this challenge straight from Late Night Stampers. So, are you ready to play? If so, here is the challenge:

In honor of Valentine's day...we challenge you to make a HEART shaped CARD, that MUST INCLUDE some form of CANDY!!!

 

It doesn't matter what color, size, etc--it just has to be heart shaped, with candy!!!  And of course, all materials must be current Stampin' Up! only (except for the candy, of course - hehe) 

I wont be able to get to this challenge, or any others until Thursday. But, if decide to take on this challenge please feel free to send me a link to your picture.

Also, today I am adding a link to all the other challenges that I have posted so far to the SCS albums that show case the projects all ready submitted! Take a look!!!

My Challenge Results: SC211 and LSC202

I have been really behind on challenges lately. I was planning on getting caught up yesterday but I am still not feeling well, and yesterday was just a bad day.

I made this card using just a few supplies. I used Real Red, Whisper White and Ruby Red cardstock, Real Red Classic Ink, and the Love You Much Bundle Kit.

I am still behind by one old challenge and one new challenge (that I will post in a minute or two). As soon as I get those done I will post them with the recipe. I will also post two new challenges at the end of this week. One on Thursday and one on Friday.

Please feel free to play along, and if you do, please send me a link to your post!

Wednesday's Challenge: SC211

Wednesday's Challenge is to use this sketch as a guide to making a card.

I always LOVE sketch challenges. They open my eyes to new layouts which usually suprise me.

I'm posting this layout early so tomorrow morning (Wednesday) I will take on this challenge and hopefully the last two. Check back tomorrow evening to see what I have come up with!!!!!

CC201: Not Quite Sage

Tuesday Challenge is to use the colors:

• Not Quite Navy
• Craft or Creamy Caramel
• Sage Shadow

You can use these colors in any type of project... scrapbook, card, 3-D. 

I will take on these challenge (and last weeks) tomorrow. Plus, I will also try to take on tomorrows challenge. (Maybe I will try to role them all into one!)

If you take on this challenge please send me a link to your posting. I'd love to see it!

I'm a little behind on challenges right now. But, I really have a good reason why.... Really!

My son, Alex, is starting a Science Fair project. We have been busy the last week trying to come up with a good topic, and writing up a proposal for his science teacher.

Alex and I started a blog for his project today. You can visit it by clicking here. He will be updating the site as his project progresses (about once a week once he gets the ok).

I promise to be back tomorrow with some finished projects and two more challenges!

Mousies Card

I completed the challenge yesterday but was unable to post until today. I made this card off of the Mousies cake at Cake Nouveau. The card was made for my brother-in-law who just celebrated his 60th birthday!

The hardest part of making this card was punching all the holes. Use different size hole punches and you have instant cheese. I did use a retired stamp set. The bigs holes were sponged after they were punched with a dark shade of yellow (Yo Yo Yellow sponged on So Saffron). If you need or want better instructions, please let me know!

There are no challenges today. Sorry! I will be back on Friday with a whole new challenge.

Until then,

Today's Challenge: IC161

Todays challenge is to make a card, or scrapbook page, using the inspiration that you get from his website: www.cakenouveau.com

You do not have to recreate the cake just take inspiration from the colors and/or theme.

I am choosing to use Mousies off of page 4. I will post my card a little later today after its done.

Like always, if you choose to play along please send me a link to your card or page. I would love to see it.

SBVC57 Projects

I ended up making 3 scrapbook pages for this challenge. I finished the 3rd project this morning. Before making the pages I decided to use old pictures of my grandmother. I was kind of nervous using pink and red with the black and white photos, but I really love how the pages turned out.

I will post a basic recipe for the 3 pages at the end of the pictures. I ended up using some non-SU! products to complete the pages (ie: straight pins, buttons, large pink eyelets and rick-a-rack).

I hope you enjoy the projects below:
