365 Card "Recipe" Challenge

**Double Post for today!**

OK, so yesterday I got hooked on the whole "challenge" thing! I looked at the 365 blog again today and thought how much fun today's challenge would be so I had to whip one out!! And I needed a baby card, so it was perfect timing!

So the challenge was this:

1 5x5 Card
1 Rub-on image
2 Buttons
1 Piece of patterned paper
1 piece of ribbon - NO BOW
1 Sentiment inside the card

Here is what I came up with:




The only thing I added was 2 little pieces of string in the buttons! I couldn't attach the buttons by themselves!!

Thanks for stopping by! Let me know if you think I did ok on the challenge! ;)

Supplies:

Stamps: (Inside) TAC Thinking of You Hostess Set

Paper: White TAC Premium CS, Bo Bunny Polka Dot Paper, Blue Bazzill

Rub-On: Making Memories

Misc: black buttons, 5/8" White Grosgrain Ribbon, string

365 Super Sketchy Sunday!

I love looking at the 365 Cards blog and I have friends who participate regularly. I always have the idea of what I want to do, I just don't have the time to actually put into works! SO, I saw this sketch and decided to play!

I thought this was a fun sketch to showcase TAC's More Mimi double sided paper! I really like all the colors! The base is made from TAC's Kraft which is one of my favorites! It is so thick and wonderful! hehe! (Yes, I have a paper addiction!)

I added a bow, some gems and a senitment from one of our Hostess Sets! I used my new Corner Chomper and rounded just one corner of the card! Oh and I popped the whole card front up on pop dots for dimision! Quick and simple!

Check out 365 Cards Blog HERE! There is always great ideas and inspiration!

Thanks for coming by!

Supplies:

Stamps: TAC Hostess Set Tiny Tidbits

Paper: TAC's Kraft CS and More Mimi Paper

Ink: Burnt Umber Palette

Misc: 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Gems from Michaels, We R Corner Chomper, Pop Dots

Spunky Sprite Girls and Boys!!

OK so looking through the new catalog, of course you are always going to find the sets that are "must haves"! And of course, I always have a huge list. BUT, I saw these 2 sets and just turned the page. So then you just keep looking and looking and then you start over and go through the catalog again and again. And about the third time through I took a closer look at Spunky Sprite Girls and Spunky Sprite Boys. And then I figured out for sure.....they were "must haves" too! They are so stinkin' adorable I couldn't pass them up!! AND they are going to be super fun for scrapbook pages!!

So here is one of the girls....She's cute...even though my coloring is no-so-hot!
I think she looks my DD! So I had to have this set!!

And then there were the boys! I saw this image here and fell in love! Isn't he adorable?

So, I am stamping along and realized how fun it would be to add dimension with the shower head, bubbles and towel! So I just colored the parts up and added some pop dots for that 3-D affect!

I am thinking this will just be for one of those, "I am thinking of you" and here is a card occasions!

Sorry to all you who are NOT Bronco fans, I didn't chose this color combo for that reason! hehe! Sorry Todd! (Like my BIL looks at my blog!)

For the background paper, I ran the orange piece through the crimper, cut some blue strips, added a little Scor-Bug and done! Super easy! (And can you believe I didn't even use ribbon on this card? That doesn't happen very often...and it was hard!)

OK so I had to share my new cuties! These are available now in the new catalog! Call or email me to place your order!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Heather's Monday Sketch

Here is Heather's Monday Sketch for this week! I like this one because of the endless possibilities with the ripped paper. You can rip it, use deco scissors, "nestie" it, leave it square.....on and on.

Anyway, here is her sketch....

I made 2 cards. Here is the first one that I LOVE! And it looks so much better in person!! Love that new TAC Skinny Birds set. The mug is in there and it is adorable!!

And here is the other. I used Linear Sentiments and Swirly Gigs for the bottom piece! I so love making my own patterned paper!

So that is all for tonight! Thanks for looking!

Back to the 50's....

At the TAC Seminar this last weekend, we were so lucky to be able to attend a sock hop! We all dressed up in rolled up jeans and poodle skirts! It was alot of fun! At the end of the night we were given a special stamp set to remember the night! I finally got to cut it out last night and here is a quick card I made!

I heat embossed the polka dots on the black cardstock! Her dress is paper pieced using TAC's Scarlet cardstock but it also has the free download printed out on it first. Love the polka dots!

I used the Gelly Roll Glitter pen to color the poodle, her glasses, parts of her shoes and belt and the ruffles on her dress! I thought she turned out pretty cute!

Thanks for stopping by today!
