Double Challenge Card

The color challenge at Stampv this week was Bubblegum Pink, Black Onyx & White. The Free 4 All Challenge on SCS was to make a birthday card. I still needed 3 birthday cards for this month, so it was nice to cross one off the list. I picked up the last sheet of this dp that my Hobby Lobby had. Ihope they restock it soon because it is a great match for Gina K's Bubble Gum pink.

I've had a hard time creating my oldest son's birthday... my craft area is in the living room & he is super, super snoopy! Every time I have started to work on it, he's been at my side looking at my card, so today when I saw the Card Patterns Sketch, I decided to use it for his card. He LOVES turtles, so he will love this card!! I added a light layer of crystal effects on the shell.

Wedding Pics

Here are a few pictures from our niece's wedding. This first one is of my boys. Dylan, the youngest was the ringbearer. I thought both of them looked pretty spiffy!

The second picture is the bride & her parents. Mom of the bride is my hubby's sister.

The third picture was a shot taken while they were waiting for the groomsmen to come in. It wasn't posed, just a very relaxed picture!

I hope to be back later with a card. I'm ready to get back to stamping!

Stamp Simply Black Friday

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day was a fantastic one! My family has been talking about being thankful, for the past few weeks we've randomly said, "I'm thankful for..." throughout the day.

This week's Stamp Simply challenge is in honor of Black Friday. We were to use black on our project.

One of the new release challenges on Stamptv was to create a card & incorporate odd numbers. I had a friend call in desperation. She is in charge of thank you notes for a major fund-raiser. She is going to need 120 thank you notes. Her request was quick & easy. I paired this challenge with the Crazy 4 Challenges which was to create a square card. This is a 4 x 4 card.
