My Favorite Things Designer Challenge for February 7, 2009




I decided to participate in the My Favorite Things Designer Challenge. I have fallen in love with My Favorite Things stamps. My Secret Sister from the February Swap gave me this stamp called "Call Me" and I love it!!! It reminds me of being a teenager and talking on the phone to all my friends for hours!

The main colors for the challenge were : Pink, Black, White, Grey, Brown
I choose Pink, Black, White and Grey.

I used Black Stazon Ink to stamp the words "Call Me" across the ribbon and the huffing technique which allows me to blend the colors as if everything was real and no outlined image. I also used cotton candy stickles to give it a little bling!

Baby Cards




I have been wanting to try and make this card since I saw it in Papercrafts Magazine in the March 2008 edition. I never had the supplies and needed a sewing machine to make the card. However, after many attempts of trying to sew the card with straight lines I gave up and decided to do my own thing. I used cuttlebug embossed paper for both cards as a background. Instead of sewing the rattle handle, I paper pierced it.
