Yeah, it’s hump day! I have had so much fun playing with the challenges this week. I didn’t realize how much I had missed them over the past 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to playing in some of my new challenges next week also. Today’s card was fun to make. I started with the challenge from Stampin’ B’s Design Team which was to create a gate fold card with a flower. When I…
I love black eyed susan’s! I seem to use them a lot this time of year. I had fun creating the large and small flowers with the punches. I began with selecting my color challenge.

When I saw those colors I just knew I needed to make black eyed…

You were to use red, yellow, black, and white.…

So I decided to go looking for a sketch…
Good Morning! I worked on another simple scrap book and got it finished. This one uses legal envelopes to hold the pictures. I found a great tutorial on how to make this scrap book at Inking Addict Designs. Paula does a great job with her directions and the pictures make it clear what you need to do. I did modify my belly band. I used stick on velcro dots to hold mine closed. I didn’t…
I hope everyone is having a great evening. I spent some time in my craft room playing with some challenges today. I was able to combine 4 (yes I said 4) challenges on this card. I think it is so cute. The first challenge I used as the color challenge from the Color Dare blog. You had to use Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel, Elegant Eggplant, and Pumpkin Pie. I thought these would make great Halloween…
