Challenge Complete!

With this.....I give you a completed challenge!  For the first time in what seems like forever, I have actually completed a challenge!  I adore my There She Goes stamps, and so wanted to get all the Birthday Celebration challenges completed.  Who could turn down a chance at winning $75 in TSG Stamps? (not me!)

The 5th Challenge was to create a card using at least 3 embellishments.  I used 1 ribbon and 4 brads!

After using the present from Warmest Wishes on my last card, I had to use it again.  I absolutely love how it turned out!

The sentiment is from Sentimental Birthday.

All the paper is from Echo Park Hello Summer.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Another Happy 60th!

A friend asked me to make a few cards for her, with two of them being 60th Birthday cards.  With all the celebrating happening over at There She Goes, it was perfect to join in on the fun with these cards!

The 4th Challenge was to use banners.  With all the banners out there, in paper form, or dies, this challenge was super easy!

I started by stamping the "Happy" and "60th", from Numbered Days, onto Kraft cardstock.  I then stamped the present, from Warmest Wishes, onto 2 different pieces of the designer paper, This & That by Echo Park.

The present was then cut out using the Warmest Wishes die.

The sketch is based on the Mojo Monday Sketch #258.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy 60th!

Good Morning!

I'm back with another There She Goes Challenge card.  This card is based on the TSG Inspiration Challenge.

This card didn't end up exactly as I had envisioned it, but I do still like the result!  I began by stamping the present, from Scent-sational, then colouring and cutting it out.  The numbers were stamped onto some Early Bird DP, cut out then mounted onto the white cs.

The sketch is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #167.

I still have a few cards to get made, so stay tuned....I'll maybe get all these challenges in!

Thanks for stopping by!

For The Boys

Good Morning!

The second challenge for the There She Goes Birthday Challenges is creating a Masculine Birthday card.  This is the one I made for my brother!

I started by using the Oh Crop set, one of my favourites!  The images were all coloured with my copics, and cut out with my nestabilities.

The paper is from Cosmo Cricket.

Happy Birthday

Good Afternoon!

Did you know There She Goes Clear Stamps is celebrating 4 years in business?  Well, they are!  To celebrate they have been hosting challenges, with a chance at some fantastic prizes too!

Last week, each day was a different challenge, featuring a birthday theme.  It just happens I have a few cards that need to be made, so these challenges were the perfect starting point.

The first challenge is a Birthday Numbers Challenge.

My SIL is having a birthday soon (guess I can't hide her age!), and this is what I made for her!

I started with the Mojo Monday Sketch 257 as the layout for my card.  The numbers were stamped using the Numbered Days set, and the sentiment is from Sentimental Birthday.  The paper is from Echo Park Hello Summer.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'll be busy getting all the cards finished for these challenges!

Have a "Zoo" per Day!

Happy Thursday!  This week is finally almost over....it's been a long one for me!

I had a chance to play along with the There She Goes Challenge this week, which was an awesome sketch!

Here's my take on it:

I used one of my newest TSG sets, Zoo-pendous for my card.  I started by stamping the rhinos onto SU Whisper White, then paper pieced them with some MME Lime Twist Fly a Kite dp.  The tree was also paper pieced with the same paper.  The grass is the Fresh Cut Grass Cut Ups die from The Cat's Pajamas.  I don't yet have the World's Best Stamp Set and Dies, so I used the First Place Ribbon Die-namic from MFT.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a Great Day - TSG124

Good Morning!  Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends!

This will be a quick post....we are getting some cleaning done, then off to relax and enjoy the day with family!

The challenge this week (well last week, I'm a little late!) at There She Goes was a colour challenge - yellow, gray and a neutral.

I grabbed some paper from my MME Stella & Rose Hattie pack, and got to work!

The sentiment is from Sentimental Birthday.  I just LOVE the handwritten sentiments!  It was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a circle of SU Whisper White.  I then added a hand drawn border for a little detail.  The flower is called Wild Flower, from Verve Stamps.

I added some pearls, and some white ribbon, and there you have it, a birthday card!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy!

TSG104 - Greetings Earthling!

I have been trying to play along with the There She Goes weekly challenges for such a long time, and I just never got around to getting one finished.....until TODAY!

This week the TSG Challenge was a sketch.  I LOVE a good sketch!  I started out by using the newer set, Out Of This World.  It just came in the mail (yesterday, actually!) so it was just waiting more me to ink it up!  I stamped the little monster, along with his planet perch onto Neenah paper, then coloured it in with my copics.  I cut him out using my circles nestabilities, then with the die still in place, I traced around the edges with a black marker.

The paper is from the Echo Park Little Boy collection.  I paired it with some Wild Wasabi and Night of Navy cardstock.

I kept the inside fairly simple, using more of the DP and added the stars and sentiment, also from the Out Of This World set.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great weekend!
