Lord Have Mercy Challenge - MTSC58

I have challenged myself to participate in multiple challenges per week and have been scouring challenge site. While blog-hopping, I came across the Lord Have Mercy sketch blog and just thought their sketches were great. I jumped in and took the challenge and here's my take on this week's sketch.

Cricut Card Challenge 1-21-10

I decided to play along with the Cricut Card Challenge this week. I used the Mini Monograms cartridge to cut the circles, in different dimension. I used a "Thinking of You" stamp that I've had for a while and some paper from my stash. I really had a good time with the "S" card and will be playing along again.

Monday Mojo Challenge #3 - 2010

WOW, I'm 3 for 3 and going strong. I have to confess that I participated in the challenge last week, but I missed the posting window. I didn't realize it was on Eastern tinme, so while I thought I was "doing it", I had one of those duhhhh moments. Well, needless to say, I wasn't going to let that happen this week. I worked on my challenge ahead of time, was going to post last night but had technical difficulties, so I made up my mind that I wouldn't go to bed without posting first. Here is my take on the sketch.

A Song From my Heart

Sometimes you find the perfect ribbon and you just want to design a card or layout to fit the ribbon, well this two sided lavendar and green ribbon was it. I saw this ribbon in the store and couldn't put it down, so I started looking for papers to match. I had a very old stamp that I thought would be perfect. It all came together just like I thought it would. However, I'm still playing with my new camera, so I couldn't get the color just right.

Sweet 16

My godchild , Teighlor, turned 16 this year; wow 16. It seems like just yesterday her parents were bringing her home from the hospital. I would go and see her and just sit and hold her for hours and now she's in high school. I made a fun, girly card for her because she is very girly; definitely a "diva" in the making. I hope she liked her card because I had a good time making it.

Special Event

A card for a special ocassion. This is a card I created for the "Love is In The Air" card class I taught on Saturday at By Design Scrapbook Botique. Generally when I think of Valentine's Day, I think of red and white, but I think I like the pink and brown even more.

Although a little late posting, I'm 2 for 2 and proud of. I have been wanting to play along with the sketch challenge all week, so I started this card on Tuesday and finished it very, very late Friday night. I wanting to do a fun card, but with a Valentine theme; I'm pleased with the final card.

A Look at Time

Birthdays are the perfect opportunity to look back over time and look forward to wonderful times to come. I saw this antique clock rub-on in my stash and thought the warm colors would be great for a masculine birthday card.

Early Valentine's

Michael's had a 50% off coupon last week and there were a few border punches on my wish list. One of them was the Martha Stewart deep border heart punch. Can you tell that I was anxious to play with it. I hope I keep my momentum for Valentine's cards, because I've still got quite a few more to do.

Love is in the Air

I love Valentine's Day. I make lots of cards for family and friends, so I wanted to get an early start. Before I start making cards for my son's friends, I wanted to make something very girly, so here's what I came up with.

Monday Mojo Challenge #1 - 2010

A new year and a new personal commitment to participate in a challenge every week. I started out with a bang in 2009, but about April my challenge participation begin dropping. So, I thought the best way to get going again was just to jump right in. When I saw the Monday Mojo challenge, I loved the sketch and wanted to play along. Here's my take on the sketch.

Winter Birthday

It seems whenever I make cards, of any kind, in December, I always reach for red papers. Well, this time was no different, but I wanted to add a very feminine touch; what better way to do that than with delicate lace ribbon, a lace butterfly and flourishes. I think the person that received this card enjoyed it; I certainly enjoyed making it for her.
