SCS BLOGGER #3 - CHALLENGE #1

This is the card that I made for my Blogger Group from SCS (#3). It is the first challenge. We were to use orange and yellow and a floral stamp. I used Confetti cardstock, some scraps of a pattern paper I got at the Hob Lob. I used my Cuttlebug embossing flower folder and my SU Upsy Daisy stamp with my SU Only Orange ink. Oh yeah, I used yellow brads too!

Gift Card Holder

This is a gift card holder that I made. I found it on the blog of Sharon Johnson. Take a look at her blog, it is really great. You can find the directions on her blog here: http://notimetostamp.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2007/11/02/stamp-simply-challenge-7-gift-card-holders/

I used Bazzill red and white for the card. I also used my SU scallop punch and a Martha Stewart (OH GOD! I can't believe I have purchased another "Marty" item) . I used my white SU pen for the dots. (Nail polish courtesy of OPI - Rosy Mistletosies)

I'm Such A Goat

Idiot me! I loaded my Santa card thinking it was my "first ever" challenge. However, I fibbed, without realizing it). I forgot about the MFT card that I posted below. THAT was my first challenge. What a goat I am sometimes.

A Muse December Home Page Contest and Challenge Card

This is the first time I have entered a card in a contest or the first time I have done a challenge for that matter. I guess I can use this card for both.

I used my A Muse santa stamp and I brayered the ocean and the sun is from SU Warm Wishes and the birds are from a set from MFT. I made the surfboard by cutting the small SU oval punch in half. I also used Primsa Markers and Liquid Applique for santa's beard and hat and the top of the waves.

I hope you like it. It was fun to make!

Two more simple Christmas cards

I made these cards as well as the ones I posted previously. I used my CuddleBug emossing folder (that I received from my Big Sis for SCS), and some Martha Stewart glitter (oh my God, that is twice in about one week that I have admitted to purchasing "Marty" products). Now I have a green glitter and a blue glitter.

Ornaments

These are a couple of the ornaments I have made for gifts. I used clear ornaments I got from The Hob Lob and I cut strips of Basic Grey Christmas paper and curled it and stuffed them in the ornament.

Picture Cube

I found this Making Memories photo cube on clearance at The Hob Lob (Hobby Lobby) for $2.00. For $2.00 you gotta buy it, right?

Well, my wheels started turning last night about midnight and I thought, "I'll make a present for Dal (my husband, Dallas) for Christmas. "

With that being said, this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think. I like the way it came out.

Picture Frame

This is a frame that I made for my friend who just got married in June. I used Bazzill cardstock Basic Grey paper, SU chipboard, pink brads and ribbon.


The "M" and the "J"are cut out of the wedding invitation. The "M" has part of the invitation that has her name on it and the "J" has part of the invitation that has his name on it. The "DOT" of the "I" is also cut out of the invitation with the word "wedding," and the "heart" has the date of the wedding. And, to finish it up, I used the ribbon that was on the wedding program.

I really hope she likes it. It was like a freaking light bulb over my head when I thought to use the wedding invitation as part of the frame.

What do you think?

Christmas Cards

This year I am into "simplicity." I have made these cards and have decided these will be my cards this year. Perhaps I should use some "Martha" glitter on them (see post below).

What do you think?

I'm so NOT a Martha fan...

I'm here to tell you that I do NOT like Martha Stewart. Who knows all that stuff? But most of all, who does all that stuff?

I swore I would never purchase Martha products. So, with that being said, I was at Michael's today and Marty's products were on sale for 30% off. Well, I decided to take a little stroll down Martha Stewart Boulevard and I found this glitter. Do I use glitter? No. Do I need glitter? No. I LOVED the color so much I decided I had to have it. In fact, I may go buy more colors tomorrow.

Now that I am purchasing this glitter, can someone tell me what I can do with it?
