Booooo

I’m so enjoying using my supplies that I have on hand!! The challenge at Use Your Stuff is Home. I don’t use a lot of New Home cards so I started thinking of “other types” of houses and I came up with Haunted House! Talk about old supplies check out those Making Memories clear shapes!! All the papers were scraps except for the card base.

CHALLENGES:

1) Digi Sketch Challenge – They give a theme and a sketch. You can use one or the other for inspiration. I used the Sketch only.

You rock!

The product category in the August Card Challenge @ Scrapbook.com is to use a recycled item. Well, Karen totally inspired this card because she used a mail flyer on her card. I never thought to look at my mail for scrapbook inspiration so I headed out to my “in box” for mail. And to my surprise was a coupon flyer from Office Depot and it had this printed on one side. It was scratched up in a spot from being mailed so I took my sand paper to it to make it look like it was suppose to be distressed! I cut it out and pop dotted it onto the card. The design of the card was inspired by Sweet Sunday Sketch #231…I just left the circle off.

SUPPLIES:
Saying was cut out of an Office Depot mail flyer
Cardstock: Bazzill ( Sunshine, Intense Kiwi), Hobby Lobby (turquoise), orangish color – unknown
Accent/Tools: black pen, pop dots, cutter bee scissors

School Girl

I wanted to make a card for my niece to wish her well in school this year. I thought this image by Diane’s Daydream Design would be perfect for a 7th grader.

The background needed something but I didn’t have an embossing template that I liked for this. So I got out my scor-pal and made my own design based on the plaid in the skirt. I think it turned out pretty good!

A beautiful horse

Had a request for a birthday card for a girl that was turning 12 and loved horses and her favorite color was blue. I dug out some OLD Chatter box scraps I had and used Sweet Sunday Sketch #217 as my inspiration. I thought every cowgirl just needs a little touch of bling so put rhinestone brads in the center of the flowers I cut out from the patterned paper.
