Critter Sketch Challenges - recipe challenge

Paper Sundaes - Sundae Bar - I used wings and gems

Supplies:

Hello!  I am typing this through lots of banging and clanging!  We are getting a new roof put on today, so it's pretty noisy here, but I am thankful none the less to get a new roof since ours was in pretty rough shape.

I made this card this other day - I always seem to be in need of birthday cards, especially cards for men!  I really like how this turned out too.  I love these colors.  And I finally got to use my new Cuttlebug birthday embossing folder:)

Hi!  I'm a little late getting this posted, but such is the story of my life lately, lol!  The Stamping Boutique had a "One Stop Hop" last weekend.  Participating designers anonymously had their card posted on the blog for everyone to vote on.  This was my card.  Sadly I did not win, but Kecia won with her fabulous card!

I used the image "Summer Laundry Line".  I love this image, and I really like all the yellows and oranges of this card - reminds me of the sunshine!

Relax and Enjoy!

Hellooooo out there!  It's been a while since I've posted anything.  Life has been a little crazy with STUFF and the end of school and whatnot.  I haven't had too much crafty time, but here is one card I made a couple of weeks ago.

This is a card technique I haven't used in a while - it's a Criss Cross card.  Neat, right?  I used the sassy Princess Jennifer Latte for this card from The Stamping Boutique.

Birthday Basket

Good evening!  I've been meaning to get this posted for the past two days, but time has slipped away from me!  It has been beautiful and warm and sunny here, and the 2 monkeys and I have been enjoying as much of it as possible (especially since I now have a fenced in yard to contain said monkeys!)

This week The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring One Stitch At A Time Challenges - and the challenge is Fancy Folds.  I hope this counts and some fancy folding!  I found this template on the Stamp TV website.  I love it and it's so cute!  I will be posting some pics at a later date of some more I made for centerpieces for my niece's birthday party coming up.  I'm still working on them though.
