Joel's Camping Scrapbook Page SSHP03

This is a scrapbook page that I made for my son's scrapbook for his birthday. He took a cross-country camping trip this fall. The stamps are Gina K, colored with watercolor pencils and chalks. I have added some sand for dimension. I am submitting it for a challenge to "make a scene", which is found at http://www.saturdayspotlight.blogspot.com/. tfl

Origami Gift

My sister had asked for her crafty friends to make her a origami crane so she can make a mobile out of them. So...I made her 2 and made the little box to put the smaller one in, and sent them off with this cute card I had done for her a while ago. She has 2 golden retrievers, so I think she'll like this. tfl

Hello Chickadee CTD64

Coffee Break S2G

This one is made with a freebie digital stamp from Sallys2Girls. This is a shaker card Amy and I did together. Mine is going to be from my hubby since he LOVES coffee, and since I stole the beans out of his coffemaker..lol. I left the cup and saucer white, which wasn't easy for me to do...hehe...because he will only drink out of a cup with at least white inside!!! But, I love him! Oh, and we had to have peanut butter frosting on the cupcake!! ~.~

Lupine Sympathy SC249

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Sketch Challenge (SC249). It just kinda evolved into a sympathy card as I went along. Started with sketch, which this image I colored the other day fit perfectly. Then the bottom was left for sentiment, and I had these sentiment stamps that are usually too big for most cards, but fit this perfectly. I think it works. tfl

Ribbons & Bows at Midnight

I made this card for a Caardvarks challenge to use ribbon in a unique way found here: http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2009/10/take-bow-sponsored-by-may-arts.html

I wrapped the ribbon around my punched medallion and made a pretty bow on the top.

I used the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC22) found here for my layout: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/2009/10/midnight-madness-week-22-mmsc22.html.

Dandelion Serenity CC239

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Color Challenge (CC239). Kept it clean and simple. The butterfly is punched out of a wallpaper sample. Can you believe how well it matches the ribbon I got out of the dollar bin at Michael's????!!! Love when that kinda thing happens! tfl
