St. Patrick's Day card

I made a card to enter in the Krafty Girls Feeling Lucky challenge!

Front:

Inside:

The dot paper is from a huge package of paper I got at Sam's Club around 2 or 3 years ago. The plain side is the reverse of the dot. The stamps were a $1 set I picked up at Joann's and stamped with a Color Box pigment ink in Olive and embossed with an iridescent powder. The inside stamp was from the same set and I used just a basic black dye ink pad. I'll probably give this to my husband and truthfully, I am a teeny, tiny bit Irish but I loved the stamp and used it anyway!

Christmas Card Challenges

I'm determined to send cards out this year and not only send them but MAKE them too! My friend Kim found this blog: Weekly Christmas Card Challenges. They're on week 14 and the challenge was embossing. It could be wet or dry and I did both on my simple card!

I used my Cuttlebug and the swiss dots folder and a Stampin Up stamp, Color Box pigment ink in cranberry and an iridescent embossing powder.

DCWV Feb Stack-a-holic template challenge

Here's the sketch for this month's stack-a-holic challenge. I haven't entered in a couple of months so it was nice to scrap again (I haven't been doing much of that either!). Here is the sketch:

Here is my layout:

This is my youngest the morning of her first birthday! She just turned 4! *cry* Where does the time go?!?! All papers on this with the exception of the black with white dots (also DCWV though!) are from the Fresh Floral Stack! I used 5 different patterns. :-) I love, love, love this stack and think I'm going to have to go buy a second one just so I don't feel bad using this one so much! ♥

The entries are due tonight so if you have a chance today and want to attempt this, here is the link to the blog post!

Scrapbook Steals Mid Week Mojo Entry

I'm entering a layout in Scrapbook Steals Mid Week Mojo. You can find their post here.


This was the sketch:

Here is my layout:

I think the printed papers are DCWV. I know the floral one is but I'm not sure about the stripe. The title was cut using my Cricut E2 and the American Alphabet cartridge. The little crown was cut using Alphalicious.

I will try and get a better picture tomorrow. Its late and dark and this is due within 90 mins.
