Magnolia Kit Day - October 27, 2010 & SC304 Challenge

Magnolias, don't you just love them?  I sure do!  I received these 2 kits in the mail from a secret sister.  I decided to use these kits for the SC304 challenge this week!  I colored them using a combination of items: copics, watercolor pencils, chalk, and blender pen.  Unfortunately, I do not know the names of the designer paper or the Magnolia images.   

October 19, 2010 - Flip Flopping Birthday - SC302 Challenge

My Mother-in-Law loves to wear flip flops.  I think she wears flip flops year round.  For months, I have been contemplating her birthday card.  I wanted to make it something personal just for her.  When I saw the SC302 challenge it was a perfect match for my idea.  I used designer paper from DSWC, SU Orange, and YoYo Yellow, a blue piece of velvet paper for the background and some super cute flip flops.  My husband had these cute little shells in his shell bowl that I used as embellishments for the cards.  Do not worry, I got his permission.  I made up the saying "Have a flip-flopping birthday!"   I hope she enjoys her card and her birthday!

Challenge SC300 - Country Girl - October 4, 2010 - WINNER

I just love this image by Sarah Kay "Spring Blossoms".  A little country girl goes out and picks some beautiful flowers for her mother.  This is the card that I entered into the SC300 Challenge.  I love polka dots, so of course her hat has dots, the paper has dots and so does the flower.  I added the buttons for two reasons (1) to look a little polka dotty and (2) buttons go with a country girls blue jeans.  When I see this card, it just makes me smile!

I just found out today (October 6, 2010) that I happened to be one of the winners of the challenge!  I am so excited!  This is my first win ever on a challenge!

Who's That Girl Well Read - October 2, 2010

I just love this new WTG Well Read Stamp Set.  I had the perfect leather looking paper that I found at JoAnn's to stamp and mask the couch.  The SU Designer paper made great wallpaper.  The rug was made by cutting a circle in half, coloring it with my pink copic marker, and then fun flocking it.  I decided to stamp Hello on the book as a greeting to the recipient.  Of course, I used a metal tag as a frame and a piece of fun flocked black paper for a designer picture on the wall.
