DCC - Shaped cards - Nothing square or rectangle

Its Designers Choice Challenge Wednesday at Repeat Impressions and this week, our challenge was    selected by fellow Rock Star Deonna Bemish.  What a great challenge.  I love getting away from the standard square and rectangle cards to create something completely different.

Here is my shaped card.  Repeat Impressions has just released a new line of stamps and this super cute bumble bee and verse is part of that collection.

This month at the card club meeting at my LSS, one of the shoe box projects was led by Barb.  Her project was a bird house with bird peaking out through the door of the bird house.  This is my twist on that same card.  That sentiment says "You're one in a Buzzillion".

Here is my bee hive from the inside.  How fun is that??  

Be sure to check out this new collection. I'll be featuring more stamps from this series over the next few weeks.

Head over to the Repeat Impressions blog to see the amazing cards created by the rest of the Rock Stars.  Now, its your turn.  Create a shaped card - no square or rectangle cards, post that card on the RI blog, and you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate to the Repeat Impressions Store.  Maybe you can be one of the first to own these adorable new stamps.

What if? Wednesday - Sketch A1713

It's What If? Wednesday so that's means a sketch challenge at Repeat Impressions.

Isn't this a great sketch?  Go here to see the amazing cards the other RI Rock Stars have created using this sketch.

Here's mine.....

On this card, I've used not just one.............not two..........but 3 RI images.   First I used the cat image 8204-H Kitten, then I used the paw print - 2806-C Cat Paw as the circle accent.  Lastly, I added the word "meow".  This actually comes from the Christmas imaged 2211-G Meowy Christmas.   I masked the 'Y' and the word Christmas and leaving me with the word Meow.  

Here's a close up......

As you know, your always welcome to play along with this challenge.  Create a card using this sketch, link it to the RI blog and you will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift certificate to the Repeat Impressions store.  Go here to see the complete rules for this challenge.  

Lady Anne's Progressive Christmas Challenge - Month 3

If you are a follower of my blog, you probably know that I am participating in the progressive Christmas challenge on Lady Anne's blog.   We got 2 free digi images the first month and for those of us who participated, we received another set of 2 images for the next month and so on.  We are at month 3 and this continues through June.  Kinda fun!  I figure by making 2 cards for each of those months, I'll have a nice stack by the time its all said and done.  Kind of like a Christmas Club savings account, but with cards instead of money.  lol!!!

The images we received this month were from Angi's Antics and they are both super cute!!!  Thanks Angi's Antics for the wonderful images.

Here is card number one.  Isn't that moose cute with that tangle of Christmas lights on its antlers?

Here is card number two.  That snowman is adorable!!!

So I've hung in there for another month.  I can't wait to see what next month brings.

P.S.  I almost forgot.  I have a close up of card #2

DCC - Create a Clean & Simple Card.

Its Designers Choice Challenge (DCC) Wednesday at Repeat Impressions and this weeks challenge was chosen by Christy - To create a Clean & Simple (CAS) card.  Yeay, Christy!!! Great pick.

This weekend, at the creative day camp I attended, one of my friends created one of the sweetest cards.  I have seen similar cards on Pinterest and Splitcoast but until I saw Carrie's card, I didn't realize how very beautiful these cards really are.  Here's Carrie's card.  Isn't it beautiful???  It is perfect for any occasion simply by changing the sentiment.

When I saw that the challenge for this week was to create a CAS card, I just knew that I had to create my version of this adorable card.

Here's my version of this same card.  Super cute and super simple.  The sentiment is Repeat Impressions - Beautiful Day - 9206 from the Beautiful Days Collection.

Go here to see the beautiful CAS cards the other RI Rock Stars created or see the individual links on my side bar.

As always, you can play along with this challenge.  Just create your own CAS card, link it on the RI  blog, and you are entered in a random drawer for a $25 gift certificate to the Repeat Impressions Store.  Go here to see the complete rules.

I had blast creating my CAS card.  I hope you'll join in on the fun and create your own CAS card.

Stamp Of The Week - Baby

This weekend I went to a fun gathering.  A group of crafty ladies got together at a local community hall.  We all brought our current craft projects and spent 12 hours just crafting, laughing, and eating.  It was a blast!!!! There were 8 of us; some quilters, some crocheters (is that a word?) and the rest of us were paper crafters. It was kind of a rainy, dreary day here, so it was the perfect day to stay inside.  Wow, was there some beautiful projects getting created.

Not only did I have a blast (and ate a TON) but I also got a lot of cards done.  Today's card is one of those.
