Let the Sunshine In

Oh, I so need some sunshine and warm weather! It's a whopping 11 degrees out right now! But, I'll have to settle for some Sunshine's Stamps instead;)

I know, it's another square card too, but I've been into these lately for some reason. It's for the Saturday Spotlight SSHP15 - Let the Sunshine In! Check out their challenge if you have the chance - maybe it will bring a little sunshine to your day - or at least you 'll have the chance to win some images from Sunshine's Stamps! I also used the sketch for Papertake Weekly Challenge Sketch #33.

Another Valentine's Card - Non Traditional

Hello! I've been making quite a few Valentine's cards lately, so I decided to break the mold a little and use non-traditional colors this time. I know this image doesn't scream "love", but he is so versatile, and great for many occasions! This is the 57 Buick from Sunshine's Stamps.

I made this card for Show and Tell Cards and Scrap Pages Day 22 Challenge . It''s a 1-2-3 challenge - 1 bow, 2 designer papers, 3 brads (buttons, etc). Valentine's theme and lots of glitter.

Hop on over and play if you have time:)

In So Many Words

The Sweet Stop has a great challenge this week - SSS39. There's a great sketch, but the twist is to use only a sentiment instead of an image. So here is my take on that! I really loved the colors in my baby card last week, so here they are again:)

Supplies are SU cardstock in certainly celery and so saffron, chocolate chip ink. DP and all other supplies are from my stash. Sentiment is Papertrey Ink.

The theme for the challenge is punches. I used a scalloped punch for the tab (cut in half), and for the image background, and a plain circle punch for the image. Instructions for the criss-cross card are here.

Image is Sealed With a Kiss from Sunshine's Stamps. I also used a SU image for the tab. Other supplies are SU cardstock in basic black and ruby red. Stickles, SU watercolor pencils and blender pen. Misc ribbon and I can't remember where the DP is from, but I think it's DCWV. Brads are also SU.

From a Secret Sister

I am in a secret sister swap on SCS and each month, we send 2 card kits to our sister. This is a card I made from one I received this month. This is also my first attempt at an easel card. I really enjoyed making it and will definitely do more!
