Hey, it's Saturday...


And time for another Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday. Here's my card for this week's challenge. I followed the sketch pretty close I think. As I was going through my flowers, I found these lovely little buds I had forgotten I had. Perfect!

I've had a chance to get into some other challenges this week, and it was fun. I hope you get the chance to join in ours and have some fun this week! The link is on the right and you have the whole week!

Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #5 - 4 entries












Here are my 4 entries into the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge this week.
The verse: Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." And although this scripture makes me think of something entirely different, Kathy's challenge is to make a card/project using the colors of fall. So here they are! And fall is here, as my backyard can attest. Hundreds of leaves in the past few days!

Some news! and a Challenge


I have some news to impart!!
First, it's time for Challenge #2 in the new adventures of
Doodle Street Designs!

The challenge this week -- create something with a "get well" "thinking of you" theme! Its about that time of year! The sniffles, the sneezes, the coughing....so please create something to make that special someone feel better! Fall is here!

And the incentives are: For every 10 people that participate (not just comment) we will offer one free image to a random winner from each shop! So spread the word and start creating!

And now for the news!

The First DT for Doodle Street Designs was chosen yesterday and everyone has now participated in their first challenge in just one evening.
The first Doodle Street DT are: Jenn, Callie, Norma, and ME!!

Here's my card. I love this little flower image. It's one I actually used for my DT callout. And the text is just on the computer. I have tons of fonts and like changing them out often for projects.


Come on over to Doodle Street Designs and check out all the DT projects! They are all FAB. AND, we hope you get the chance to participate in this and all future challenges and join us in having some fun!

Sister-in-Law's Birthday card









Well, here's the card I made for my sister-in-law Torey. Her birthday was yesterday, and hopefully she got the card on time.


My photos aren't that great, but the card is actually a blue/grey with a blue scalloped edge. Inside I made the cupcake card front with a little note, and stamped inside the flap is Happy Birthday.

I think it turned out really good, and I hope she enjoyed this unusual card.
Also here is a card for my nephew, Jeremy, who recently moved away to Texas. He's finished college and is off on the start of his life's adventures, so we have to tease him a little bit! I think he'll like the card though.

Another Challenge

This week it's a COLOR Challenge at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday.

I'm getting a jump on it this time, as I'm usually oversleeping on a Saturday morning, so I decided to post my entry tonight.

Boni is gonna love this one, I think! She's kinda into Halloween.



I just love these girly images from Sassy Studio Designs. And these cameos are adorable. I didn't find quite the right color blue in my stash, and being a little short of cash this week decided to use several shades of blue instead! I have a girlfriend who's birthday is Halloween, maybe this will be a card for her this year!

Come on - it's your turn to join in the challenge fun!

And it is fun, just click on the link on the right, and check out the other DT members projects and then sign up on Mr. Linky and show us what you come up with! No stamp restrictions, in fact you could do something without stamps even. Doesn't have to be a card either (although that's my favorite!) You have a whole week to do something for this challenge, but how about doing it right now. Or take a few minutes to make a note for yourself to come back and play before next Friday night! There are prizes involved too, but you can check that out on the website as well! Just go with the first thing you think of when you see this pickup with pumpkins (well, the colors anyway!)

Oh, and Happy Birthday Torey! (my sis-in-law - who I hope reads this blog sometimes! Hope you liked your card/purse! {and I'll show it soon too})

Have a great weekend everyone!

Quick card for challenge



Here's a card I made for the Weekend Sketch Challenge at Inspiration in Action - IA102 - and Gretchen is looking for at least 50 players in order to have a fab blog candy.

So go check it out. Doesn't have to be Halloween themed. In fact, she has a Thanksgiving one that's gorgeous and a Christmas one too.

I've just been on a Halloween kick for a few days. I have a cute card coming up on Saturday too.

DT call for Thinking Pink... til 9-25


Here is my entry for a DT call from Die Cut Dreams .
Susie and Vikki are looking for 2 DT members, and have asked that the card or project be done in the theme of "Pink" and although there is a little more color here, the main theme here is Pink. Many shades of Pink.
I like how this turned out, and simply Love the poppy. And the ribbon. And I think my bow is about the best I've done, ever.
