Birthdays

The previous card (for the sketch challenge) and this card are for my niece and nephew's birthdays. I also made my neice some cute note cards, jumbo paperclip and altered a pencil box. She's 13 and loves all things paper! My nephew on the other hand, could care less about note cards unless they are addressed to him and contain cash! He's 8 this year and hopefully still likes Spider Man, as he's getting a new Spider Man beach towel. I know he at least needs a new towel, so at least he will get some use out of it. :) His card is Real Red base w/Tempting Turquoise. I wheeled Tempting Turquoise Classic Stars and used my star punch on a couple of them. It was a fun card to make and since there is no cash in the card, my nephew probably won't care about it, my sister will appreciate it and save it. :) Gotta love sisters! :)

Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge

Ok, this is another couple of firsts, my first challenge, sketch or otherwise AND my first square card! This one is from Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge.I kept it really simple as I think the flower is enough. :) The DSP is from SU's hostess gift, ribbon is from SU and the flower I crocheted myself (inexpensive and easy accessory).

P.S. Sorry for the crooked photo, I don't really have an excuse other than a crooked head. :)

Check out this one too!

Amazing Cards

I finally mounted and used my "Pretty Amazing" set that I have had for a couple of weeks. It is such a pretty set and I knew I wanted to use the hummingbird, as we just hung ours this past weekend. So, I picked my colors and got to work. The top card is my favorite of the three and I just keep looking at it! hahahaha

Ingredients:

Stamps: Pretty Amazing (SU)

Cardstock: SU! Chocolate Chip, Not Quite Navy, River Rock, Very Vanilla

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Not Quite Navy

Accessories: brads, hardware, punches and ribbon. Flower is not Stampin' Up, but I have no idea who makes it, so I can't give them credit.

Workshop Projects

I have my very first workshop this weekend at my sister's house. I will know almost everybody there and am sort of feeling nervous excitement at this point. I do have 2 of my projects all done and ready to go and am still trying to figure out the third.
