The Pink Elephant Challenge #8

This weeks challenge on "The Pink Elephant" was an Easter theme. You can create ANYTHING as long as you follow the theme. I like this. Sometimes I like to make altered projects or baked items and I can still participate. This is my first time with them and I made a card. My 3 year old DS helped me make this card for my mom. He chose the colors for the eggs and he glued everything down with me. Here it is:

365 Cards Day #35- Thanks Sara

I say "Thanks Sara" because she sold me this Stampin' Up! set (Basket Full Of Fun) that I used on this card and I know that she will love this card :) Today's challenge was another ad-inspired challenge. I love these challenges. I have never really used inspiration for my stuff. I just sit and do something but between 365 cards and MishMash, I am seeing that inspiration leads to beautiful cards! I think I need to get to work on my "inspiration notebook". Oh, I am definitely going to be photographing outdoors from now on! Notice how the colors are WAY truer??

365 Cards Day #34- Egg-cellent!!

I have had a SUPER Egg-cellent day!!! First I was at work and I found out that I WON Middle Georgia Community Action Agency's "Teacher of the Year". This is the Head Start Agency that serves all of central Georgia!! I am really excited!!

Then, I go to 365 cards (as soon as I get home) and there is my name in ALL CAPS! I won a random drawing hosted by Pam at MacKenzie Mae! Please check out the card kits she is offering!

Today on 365 cards, the challenge was to use an oval or an egg as the main image. Aggh! Umm... this was REALLY hard for me. I am still not sure about the card but here it is:

365 cards Day #33

Today on 365 cards, We were to leave white space. We were challenged to use only 1/3 of the total space on the card. This was NOT easy. I like to use patterned papers and large images. So, I finally decided to use this ribbon (My very favorite from Michael's $1 bin that I wish I had more of!) and a silk flower and a sentiment stamp and keep it simple. Seems like I have been using a LOT of flowers lately! Hope you like!

Another Combo! 365 Cards Day #32, 2 Sketches 4 You, Use It!

YAY! I managed to combine 3 challenges and made a card that I am quite proud of. The first challenge is on 365 Cards. We had to use water as our inspiration. I decided I wanted to do a frog card and had the perfect image for it. Then I looked at the sketch challenges I had printed for this week and thought that the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch was perfect! Then I checked my printout from Use It! and saw that it would be easy to incorporate it in this card. The Use It! Challenge this week is to use at least two different ribbons (the green with the yellow stitching and the bright blue), punches or die cuts (my nifty scallop circle and circle punches!), scrap paper (I am trying to stay on a scrap paper diet anyway so that was easy), and something you had to have but rarely use anymore. I had a bunch of cuttlebugged papers (the light blue BG paper- paisley design- need new camera) that I have been hoarding, some frog brads that I had to have and also the Riveting stamp set that I bought used and rarely break out. Oh! and I used micro beads on the little ladybug in the image. Here is the triple inspired card:
