NSD Challenge 8




This custom made paper was made using TPC Studio's Coffee Cafe stamps.  I arranged 3 mugs, 2 coffee beans, and 2 sayings on a large block and just stamped turned and stamped.  Some images were stamped only partially on the paper.  Ribbon from my stash and I used Memento ink.  Base is Bazzill.


Just for fun here is my sweetie cutting out the flowers I used on Challenge 6's card :)

NSD Challenge 7



Wow 2 hard ones in a row...first flowers and then RED!  Base is Bazzill, patterned paper is from my stash, the heart is CTMH and I used Ruby Color Box ink to stamp the sentiment from Stampabilities.

NSD Challenge 6


A tad out of my eleement with the flowers needed for this challenge...  Bazzill base, patterned paper from my stash as is the ribbon.  The flowers are stamped using a Stampin' Up The Fine Print set.

And for those keeping track challenge 5 was done on the OWH facebook page :)

National Scrapbook Day Challenge 4


Can you tell my sweetie ran to town?  I take such bad photos...  This challenge was to make a Thank You card and go green and since I had just stumbled across these scraps I thought I'd go for it.  The paper strips are all ChatterBox and the 'solids' are simply the reverse of the patterned pieces. The sentiment is a stamp from Stampin' Up's Lexicon of Love set and it was stamped using Close To My Heart's New England Green.  The ribbon is from Making Memories. The base is a moss green from my stash.

NSD Challenge 3


All items from my stash so I have no clue about the papers or fabric...   The sentiment is from Stampin' Up and the bear is 'borrowed' from my friend Debbie F aka Frank.  Thanks girl!!  Colored with Prisma PM-31, PM-61, PM-151, PM-172.  I used a glaze pen for the nose and eye.  I tried blending for the first time....have a long way to go on that.

NSD Challenge 2



I kept this one really simple - Base and blue cardstock is Bazzill, Kraft cardstock is Prism, blue jean paper is from my stash as is the ribbon.  I used an image from Stampin' Up Waterfowl set and a Stampin' Up sentiment (sorry can't find the rest of the set for the name...).  I used walnut stain Distress Ink. 

The challenge was for a Father's Day card but since I have no stamps which say specifically 'Father's Day' on them I used one that, to me anyway, says DAD and hope I meet the requirements.

I am trying to do some of the Operation Write Home challeges being posted on their Facebook page not sure how long I'll hang in with them as I also need to clean the house and do my LOAD challenge but here is my first card. 


All paper is random stuff from my card making stash but I think the pattern paper is from a Die Cuts With A View stack I got ages ago.  The truck and sentiment is from Stampin Up's Loads of Love set and is colored using Prisma pens - PM4, PM-19, PM-79, PM-101, PM-142 and the tires are done with a glaze pen.
