365 Cards Days #17 and #18

#18- Today's challenge on 365 cards was to use green in a card layout. Easy, right? I have been doing green layouts for Mommysavers all month! :) I decided to make yet another Easter card. I decided that I like my House Mouse images in black and white (or green on green lol) better than trying to color them in.



#17- Yesterday's challenge was to make a card using 3 buttons and 3 bows. Since I suck at "girly", this was harder for me. I decided to find a ribbon that I liked and base the card around it. I took the ribbon and tied three continuous bows in it. Then I found my papers and added the buttons and sentiment. Not sure what I think. I like all of the elements but it kind of looks thrown together...

BINGO!

This week's challenge on Mommysavers is BINGO. There is a card challenge and a page challenge. I did the card challenge first. The object is to use three squares in a row and to incorporate green and/or gold. I had so much fun last night that I made two different bingos!
The Bingo card:

First Card: (stamped image, 3 eyelets, ribbon)

Second Card: (stamped image, sentiment, bling)


Last, but not least, I decided to go ahead and use some Phillies pendants I bought recently at Hobby Lobby for 21 cents a package (2 pendants in each package!!)and make my cousin a card. We grew up together in Suburbs of Philadelphia and he has always been the BIGGEST (in more ways than one LOL) fan of the Phillies I know! After I finished the card, it was missing something so I pulled out the Bingo card and saw that adding buttons would complete another Bingo. Only problem is I forgot about the green and gold. Oh well. BTW, the photo doesn't show the gobs of glitter that I covered each letter with! :)

My covered notepads

Well, I have kinda been stalking a blog called "MishMash". It is awesome! One of Mish's famous creations is her covered notepads. She uses Jr Legal Pads cut in half legnthwise. I just used one of the little pads you can get at the $$ store 5 in a pack for $1. I like how it turned out. After I made the St.Patrick's on (here), I made a StPatrick's spiral pad and then tried out my new Easter paper to create one with a tie closure. I love these little guys!

365 cards Day #16

Today on 365 cards, it was an "Imagine This" challenge. It had to include the sun or how you feel when it's sunny. I knew I had just the scrap paper to do it! I thought about design ideas and really wanted to play with my sugar coated glitter so I made this. It's not my favorite but it REALLY sparkles!

365 cards Day #15

It is Super Sketchy Sunday on 365 cards again! I really enjoyed making this card. It is a St.Patrick's Day card and St.Patrick's Day is quickly approaching. I may need to get this in the mail tomorrow! :) Anyway, I used some sugar coated glitter on the edges of the sentiment so that it coordinated with the ribbon better. I also clear embossed the sentiment to give it a little texture. Here goes:
