WooHoo! I did it... 7 Card Challenge


with 3 minutes to spare! At three minutes til midnight I put the finishing touches on card #7. It was so fun watching the pile of unused stamps get smaller and the pile of cards get larger.

I do need to thank Lisa Johnson for her inspiration on the Just for You card and Michelle Wooderson for her inspiration on the Round and Round card. I also got the idea for the Friendship Jar Fillers card from someone, but I can't remember who. Sorry, if it is you, thank you!!!

This has been such a fun challenge, but now I must do some laundry....

7 Card Challenge #3 & #4

On to continue my challenge of 7 cards before the end of the week. Here are cards 3 & 4. The first card uses Tea For Two Additions. I love these little tea cups and can you see the spoons on the top of the card in versamark? Too cute! This color combo is inspired by Dawn, the queen of putting the most amazing colors together and making them look great. I never would have thought to put Pure Poppy and Berry Sorbet together! Dawn did it and it looks GREAT!

The next card uses Background Basics: Geometric. Another color combo that I wouldn't have chosen all on my own, but it works! This is another "guy card" for the bookstore.


Thanks for stopping by! I will be back tomorrow with some more cards, hopefully! ;)



PaperTrey Princess Challenge #4 & 7 Card Challenge #2

Some times you just have to multi-task! I realized I still had not completed Princess Challenge # 4, which was to Score It. Not sure if you can see the score lines on here, but they are present and accounted for! The top score lines have black embroidery floss going between them and the bottom scores have some teeny-tiny buttons between them. Thanks Pam for a great challenge!

I also need to keep working on my 7 card challenge to ink-up some unused stamp sets. This card uses Enjoy the Ride by PTI. It was fun masking and detailing the car with black stripes. I also used SU! Glaze on the headlights. I had some requests for masculine cards in the bookstore so I couldn't do too much embellishment!

7 Card Challenge: #1

Here is card #1! This card uses the stamp set Scattered Showers Additions. The colors are Ocean Tides and Spring Moss. I also used PTI ribbon and the medium scalloped die. The umbrella comes from Scattered Showers. I love the background rain drops. Feel better, my friend!!!


Only 6 more to go! HeeHee...

Princess Challenge #9


The challenge was issued by Dana to remake a card from the past. You could use the same layout, same color combo, same stamps or all three. I chose a card I made a while ago and gave it a fresh new look. The cards are both Lemon Tart with Lemon Tart Saddlestitch ribbon, the layout is the same, but I changed up the stamps and the DP. As you can tell on my new card, I still haven't mastered my Copics yet.

Thanks Dana for a very fun challenge!

7 Card Challenge

I just discovered that I have 7 unused PTI stamp sets. So, I am challenging myself to use all of them before this week is over. I need to make at least 1 card with each set and get them posted on my blog-o, as Dawn would say.

Here they are:
Scattered Showers Additions
Background Basic: Geometrics
Enjoy the Ride
Tea For Two Additions
Friendship Jar Fillers
Round and Round
Just for You

Want to join me in my Unused Set Challenge?
