Card Patterns Saturday!

First time ever playing with a Card Patterns sketch and man was it fun!! I saw the sketch on Amy's blog along with her amazing card and it just grabbed me! I was in a vintagey mood and thought of these paper scraps I had from Webster's Pages and wha-la! vintagey baby card at it's cutest! And I love this sentiment stamp from Ippity! And if you love it too, click on the link in my side bar to Rona's Ippity Blog! She has a sale going on as well as a NEW RELEASE of some fantastic stamps! Ok, on to the sketch and card!

Isn't this sketch awesome!! I just loved it! And here is my card...

Scrapbooking at the Outlawz!

Saturday is Scrapbooking day at the Outlawz! I was lucky enough to play along with this weeks challenge which is themed CELEBRATION!! So what fits? ANY celebration! Graduations, birthdays, anniversaries! Dig out those fun photos and start created! Here is my layout, it's Emma at her headstart graduation!

Head over to the Outlawz scrapbooking group today and get your layout on!

Trendy Chevron from scratch!

I so wanted to play along with the Moxie Fab Chevron Chic Challenge but did I have anything in this trendy pattern? OF course not! So I put my crafty cap on and thought, hey, why not use a corner stamp to create the pattern! And man did it WORK!!! I Completely LOVE the effect I got using this swirly little corner stamp from Inkadinkadoo and will definitely be doing this again! Now I want to find tons of corner stamps LOL!!

I also made this for the APC forum, Metal Challenge! See that cute little metal charm? No clue where it came from, it was hidden in my junk stash dish! Cute though I thought!

Have a great day everyone! Might be back later with some more crafty goodness if I have time!

Winged Things on Shaped Cards!

2 Challenges I found today I thought were fun, one from Some Odd Girl (make a shaped card) and the other from Through The Craftroom Door (any winged thing) and immediately a mushroom shaped card using Happy Angel Kaylee popped into my head! After a few trial and error making the card from scratch (obviously I do not own a mushroom template!!) I thought it came out great! I layered...and layered...and layered some more...colored and punched, and lots of cutting out and came up with this sweet thing!

Sorry for the crap photo, but my mom went on a cruise and asked if she could use my camera on her trip so my camera on my phone is holding me over until she gets back next week! (can you say YIKES!! it's been only 2 days and I am having major camera withdrawals!!) Anywho, hope you like my card today! I plan on getting more done tomorrow since I don't have to work..YIPPEE!! Have a great night!

New Challenge, New Place!

I was invited to (what is new to me) a awesome little ning site for a cool little scrappy magazine Through The Craftroom Door. You can subscribe to the magazine and you can get an online version as well as a hard copy in the mail! AND you can submit to the magazine!! Well, my dear dear friend Lisa(ThePurplePlace) won a challenge there and was offered a one year subscription for herself or as a gift and she gifted it to ME!!! How wonderfully sweet is she?! I can't thank her enough! I am so excited to be part of this group now and I already got their first challenge done...twice!!

The challenge was ANYTHING GOES!! Let loose! Well, I got these FANTABULOUS stamps from Unity and Ippity in the mail from my awesome friend Angie, and I HAD to ink them up IMMEDIATELY!! Just look how cute these sunglasses are!!

I just thought they were so fun and snazzy! And the brights inks from Stampin' Up! were perfect for them...I have so many ideas for these stamps! Tomorrow is another day:)
