Sisterhood Sundays


This week's Stampin' Sisterhood Challenge is a sketch!
You can find the directions for submitting a card and learn about the prizes
on the Stampin' Sisterhood blog!



I replaced the circle with a Spellbinders die cut and moved the sentiment.
The flower is popped up with a dimensional. I thought it needed more dimension near the top of the card to balance the bow and pearls. The recipe is below.

Please let me know what you think :)

Fabulous CAS Favorites

Here are some fabulous CAS cards I found in the SCS Gallery!

I thought it would be fun to add something new this season. In preparation for the new DT search coming this Friday evening @ 8:00 PM (EST), I decided to link a few of my favorite cards from the gallery. There's no chronological order to these cards, just cards I really like. HINT: They may also give you a hint for the styles I'm looking to find for next season.

****************************************

Instead of making a card today, I made a scrapbook page. I am way behind in my scrapbooking! Since it's so difficult for me to capture detail on a 12x12 page, I have included close-up shots, too.

Paper: SU real red & designer paper
Ink: SU real red, garden green & chocolate chip
Tools: SU wide oval and word window punches,

I used Stampin' markers to color the stamp.

Vintage Inspiration Challenge

SCS Inspiration Challenge: Blue Carrot Shop

(Which is specially named this month for Halloween... the Boo Carrot Shop! Gotta love it!)

It's a great shop with lots of cool vintage items, but it did make me feel a little old! Eek! Now that is scary... a perfect feeling for Halloween, I guess.



I chose these FireKing mugs as my inspiration for my first card.
(And I'm happy to say, I don't recognize them at all!!!)



I also made this "thank you" card for the SCS Hope You Can Cling To challenges for UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas.

Rubbernecker Stamps: wheat bundle (531_07),
Victorian Diamond panel/BG (485), sentiment (25_22)
Paper: SU white, more mustard, early espresso
Ink: SU more mustard, Ranger wild honey distress ink
Accessories: SU ribbon & brads, pop-up dots



I had to make a second card because I couldn't get this inspiration photo out of my head.

This cute popcorn bear image was calling me!



Rubbernecker Stamps: Stamp Oasis Popcorn Bear (1067 SO)
Paper: white, SU real red & brilliant blue
Ink: Memento black, Copic markers
Tools: SU photo corner punch, Martha Stewart zig-zag border punch
