A few more challenges...Darling

This card is for three challenges! As always, there's a great sketch over at CPS and All That Scraps had a challenge this week to use buttons! Also, Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge was to use paper piercing on a card. I am not 100% this counts, as I didn't actually pierce the card myself, it's my new punch. I can't find my piercing template right now - I am reorganizing - so I just went with it.



This stamps is one of the Glam Girls from CC Designs. I need to get the one more set of Glam Girls and then I will have them all! (I just LOVE them). I only used one little button on this card, but it's such a CUTE button! LOL But I did get to use my new border punch from EK Success. I saw it used somewhere and knew I *NEEDED* it!

Anyway, that's all for today - well for now at least - who knows what I'll do later! As always, thanks for visiting!

12 Days of Christmas - #5 & #7

The 12 Days of Christmas are still going strong over at Apron Strings Designs! Today I am skipping and showing you the challenges for Day #5 and Day #7. Why, you may ask? Well, over at All That Scraps, their DT put out a challenge to use snowflakes, which I happen to love! So since their challenges go from Wednesday to Tuesday, I figured I should get this one posted so I get it in in time! (If I remember to link it of course! LOL)

So anyway, these were made using the January, 2008 kit. (yes - last year's kit). Challenge #5 was to use 5 circles - of course I am not a big fan of circles, but a challenge is a challenge!

Challenge #7 was to make a layout using three colors, one of which had to be white - white, green, blue!

Love the way this came out. You can't tell from the photograph but all the snowflakes were made from Doodlebug sugar coated white cardstock. One of the snowflakes is a QK die, which can be purchased from CropStop.com and the other is a punch by EK Success I believe. The letters are made from the QK Chemistry alphabet.

These are pictures of Gillette Stadium (home of the New England Patriots) from December 21st. The day was horribly cold and obviously snowed. We work at Gillette as a fundraiser for my daughter who is a Varsity Cheerleader at her high school. We get there before anybody else, so I promised myself I would get pictures of the stadium empty. It's quite a site and I don't think many people get to see it.

Thanks for visiting...and challenge #4 is already loaded to post tomorrow, so be sure to come back to see it....it's to use a BIRD on a layout...it's cute!

Altered Prima Packaging - Three Challenges Completed!

I love to combine challenges!! Thanks to all you guys that made it easy for me this week! (I know that was your intention!) I need to give the shout out to Lesa Rapp - I saw her Altered Prima Carton this week and decided to lift the idea. Althogh I just have tissue in mine, it would gift a gift card or just a little treat for someone!

Here's how it worked out for me in the end:

• Verve - Verve asked us to get krafty and use that kraft paper!
• All That Scraps - Color combo - Baja Breeze, Red Riding Hood and Kraft - I don't have much in the SU Colors, but I think I matched pretty close
• CropStop.com - Make anything but a card or a scrapbook page and use at least one die cut of some sort - well, all the circles and scalloped circles were punched or Nestabilities so I am good with that one too!!!

Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you soon!!
