HB2U!

Deedee’s Digis are sponsoring Robyn’s Fetish Challenge #252 and their theme this week is…Birthday card for a teenage girl! Which was perfect for me because my niece turns 13 today!! So this is the birthday card I sent her.

Lots of Thoughts Digital Stamp just reminded of teenagers texting so I went with that. I also liked the color scheme as it seemed very “teenage/80’s” to me. Which the 80’s has come back and is very popular again!! I used Feeling Sketchy Card Sketch #114 as my inspiration.

Hope you will be inspired to make a teenage girl birthday card so you can come play at Robyn’s Fetish for a chance to win a $15.00 gift code to Deedee’s Digis!

Pet Sympathy

I totally forgot to post this card! (insert hand slap to forehead!) I made this card for the Craft Your Passion Challenge that Deedee’s Digis sponsored last week! The challenge was Anything Goes which was good because my friend needed a Pet Sympathy card for a co-worker. This is a fairly new digital image at Deedee’s Digis and knew it would be perfect.

I put the sentiment in the heart and moved the paws down. I used some old Chatterbox scraps I still have lying around.

All out of love inspiration!

So I wasn’t feeling inspired by the theme of “love” at the Outlawz Greeting Challenge so I decided to go with the optional color challenge or Red, Pink and White. I still struggled with it and ended up with two cards! The first one I started out with Meowy Christmas but ended up with no white beside the little bit around the edges of the image and forgot the sentiment so that wasn’t going to work for a Greeting challenge!! So I went back to the craft room and created the ornamental card that had all the needed elements!

CHALLENGES:

1) Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge #216 – love and/or red and/or hearts. I did heart (on the collar) and red

2) CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #7 – We give you a card to CASE and you CASE it!

Inspiration for the ornamental card came from a card I found on Live Love Stamp blog.

Valentine Birthday

One of the ladies at the retirement home buys my cards for most holidays and then also ask me to make special cards from time to time. This time she asked for a birthday card for her niece who has a Valentine’s Birthday. I remembered making a card for a friend a few years back that needed the same type of card. I still had some of the papers left over, printed off the same cupcake image from Doodle Pantry and grabbed a new sketch and this is what I came up with! She loved it. It came in handy because I ran into another customer who needed one for her cousin.

CHALLENGES:

1) February Card Sketch Challenge @ scrapbook.com – Bonus sketch – Basic card Sketch 8/6/12 for Basic Grey.

2) Ants in my Pantry Digital Challenge #2 (AIMPDC2) – Candy. The little hearts on the cupcake look like little candies to me….hopefully they will count.

3) Use your Stuff Challenge #172 – Love Theme. All the papers were from the scrap drawers.

Love is all around

I love to see God work in his perfect timing. Deedee put out this new adorable stamp, Two Hearts, and I wanted to use it for the Allsorts Challenge – Love is All Around that Deedee’s is sponsoring. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it until one of my “customers” at work stopped me and asked for a wedding card he needed now because the wedding is on the 14th (he has to mail it!) Since guys don’t know to ask colors of weddings I had him send me a photo of the invitation. So with the colors, pink and green, decided on I went looking for a sketch and found sketch #25 at STAMPlorations Blog to be perfect.

CHALLENGES:

1) Sentimental Sundays Challenge #244 – Weddings/Anniversary

2) February Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com – Sketch Category – use the STAMPlorations sketch above as inspiration.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I made this for my friend I met on-line several years ago. Her 18 yr old son was diagnosed last month, Dec 2014, with bone cancer. He has started his 6 month chemo treatments. I made him a card but I also wanted to make her a card to encourage her as she goes through this battle with him. When praying and asking God what she needed to hear he advised me to send this verse. So I paired it with a stitched cross from Deedee’s Digis. The design inspiration for this card came from the Deconstructed Sketch # 183.

CHALLENGES:

1) Suzy Bee’s Bloomin’ Challenge #65 – Stitching – faux or real. I went with the stitching in the design of the cross.

2) Feb Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com – Bonus – Stitching
