365 cards day #22 (my itty bitty)

I am having so much fun participating with 365 cards!! I realized that I have been starting to stretch myself more since I have been seeing everyone else's work. You are all VERY inspiring!!

Today is the beginning of a new week with them and it is "Super Sketchy Sunday"! I have started liking this one the best. The sketch today is a long skinny card. At first, I was going to make it larger than the average 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I saw a card on another blog that was almost exactly this sketch and it inspired me to FINALLY use my Stampin' Around Wheel. Well, since it is only 1 inch wide, I decided to make this card 4 1/2 x 3. It's way cuter than a 3x3! My ribbon looked too wide when I started but I think it really set it off. I kinda switched the embellies on the sketch and put them on opposite corners.

The sketch:


Here's my itty bitty:

365 Cards Day #21


Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones



Today's challenge on 365 cards was to use the song, "Lean On Me" as inspiration. I leafed through my images and found this Cherished Teddies one already colored and waiting for me. I used some paper I got in a little scrap kit (dont remember where I bought it but I know it was $1). I got the little flowers from the $1 spot at Target and the coupon stamp was from Michael's $1 bin. I stamped the image with Navy Blue Stazon and clear embossed it. I clipped it together with a little clip I got from an online friend. Hope you like it. It is one of my best cards ever...

365 Cards Day #20

Today's challenge on 365 cards was to embellish the INSIDE of the card rather than the outside. I went with the recurring idea of making a "peek a boo" window and then embellished the inside. The photos don't do this card any justice. It is a "get well" card for a lady at church who is battling pneumonia after losing her husband only a week or two ago.

365 Cards Day 19

This card was not what I planned when I started but it turned out cute. I knew exactly what image I wanted to use. I got it in a swap last summer and have been hoarding it. I used some patterned paper by Mrs.Elizabeth (dollar tree) and I don't know who the image is by...
