This is my CAS card for Paper Dolls Challenge 22 at http://www.papertreypaperdolls.blogspot.com/

Stamp: borders from TAC. The flowers are then traced over with rose star & purple star gelly roll pen. Ribbon: Michaels. Gems look green but actually are pink and purple. Scor-bug used to make outlines on either side of flower borders.

Wow, 2 challenges done--and its only Monday. Not because it's a holiday--I'm retired and everyday can be a holiday!! It's great!! This is for MoJo Monday challenge. It is hard to believe it is September and Christmas is fast approaching. So I decided it is time do do a Christmas theme card. I have a Holiday Bazaar the 1st of Nov so need to get busy making cards. This is on Kraft paper. The design paper is from Holiday Collection Christmas Stack--double sided so no searching for matching papers. The letters are from Cricut Storybook. The tag is cut from stencil and stamped with TAC stamp. I thought this combo looked a little country so I tied the tag on with string. Hope this brings someone a happy smile at Christmas.

I made this card yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I checked http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/ this am and found Laura's sketch 60. I guess creative minds think alike LOL! My card is dark brown cardstock with a layer of tan. That circle print is cut from the "Hemingway" papers from TAC. I used a Martha Stewart punch on the orange strip and then accented with a yellow/orange ribbon. This was the easiest challenge ever since I already had the card done.

Well better late than never. I made this card last night for the 2S4Y sketch but the glitter did not dry enough to get it scanned and posted yesterday. This is a gate fold card. I think the star paper is from Michael's, The Congrat stamp is TLC and stamped on a "banner" anchored by a red brad. I did the you're a star on the computer and then cut it out with a stencil I have. The inside is also a computer generated message.
I think it looks bright and ready for a celebration.

The challenge this week at Papertrey Paperdolls is inspiration from a food container. I looked through some card I already had and found this wedding card I had just made for a neice and thought--"Cool Whip" The container is blue and white and contains white fluffy stuff. So I think this card fits the bill. The card base is blue with a layer of white impressioned swirly paper. The accents (Marvy square scallop punch from TLC) are same blue as base and the sentiment stamp is TLC. Looks yummy!!

This is for Heather at www.oz-somestamps.com. card sketch 123. Heather I love that you put the dimensions on your sketches. Makes it so easy to whip out a card. This is a get well on lilac cardstock layered with purple and cream. The stamp is "crackle berries" from Stampability. I highlighted the berries with purple star gel glitter pen. The sentiment is from PTI. Then I accented with a purple square paper clip (isn't that cute) and 2 square brads anchor the sentiment. Hope my friend feels better after getting this card.

I did a CAS card for 2S4Y sketch this week. I needed a
sympathy card and like to do them in muted colors. I chose tan, brown, and cream with blue accents. The blue paper came with the muted brown writing on it. The
sentiment and butterfly are from PTI.

Two posts in one day and so close together--wow! I finally got to my craft room today to make cards so have been doing the sketch challenges I find on blogs. This is for 2 Sketches 4You 58. I use a lot of butterflies. This one is from a set I found at JoAnn's. I used black ink and stamped it on orange cardstock, cut it out, and used jeweler's wire to make the antenna. I used white cardstock, neon green and orange cardstock layers. Not a color combo I would normally think of but the ribbon is neon green background with orange butterflies. Just matches the card really well. Happy Birthday is from Stampabilities. I used pop dots to adhere the butterfly. Hope you like it.

For MoJO week 151. A friend of my MIL wanted some specific cards for her great grandchildren. I found this cute Danny dinosaur stamp from Stampabilities. And wouldn't you know Hobby Lobby had paper that just coordinated with that. The dino is colored and shaded with Tombow markers. In real life it does not look that contrasted. It is something the scanner picked up. I did the dots in red and then added some glitter with my clear star gelly roll pen. Little boys need bling too!
The orange strip is cut with decorative scissors. I thought it duplicated the backs of the dinos. The inside says " I hope you have a DINO-MITE birthday". The sentiments are all computer generated and are in orange script. I hope her great grandson enjoys his card.--and you too.

This is for Monday sketch 121 at www.oz-somestamp.com Heather is so great to put up the measurements on her sketches. Makes the creativity flow faster. I used white cardstock with scraps from my paper pile. The sentiment is from TAC--the inside says "filled with wonder & joy" and Happy Birthday.
