SUINKWWC24-inspiration challenge



Whew, it's Wednesday already! Wednesday mean Whachadoin Wednesday Challenge over at the SU INK & More blog. This weeks challenge was a inspiration challenge. I was unable to upload the picture, but I hope to get it posted later.

My card this weeks card was inspired by a design of Susan Liles .This card was done using The January released stamps set Will You Be my Valentine from SU INK, and of course my basic grey 6x6 paper pack. I really do wish all Designer paper came in 6x6 pads and had the image made smaller for card makers. What do you think?

This has to be a short post, I have a Anatomy and Physiology quiz tonight, so I have to get studying. I hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday and keep warm!.

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #53






I hope you all are having a Terrific Tuesday. Today's card was inspired by Mary Jo's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge. As simple as this card is, it proved to be a difficult sketch for me, because I don't have any heart punches or such (see, you never have enough). So I had to improvise and start tracing things. I also was working with the new Bittersweet 6x6 paper pack and had limited papers left (that I wanted to use), so I ran into not enough paper (good Grief). Anyways, I happily used one of my new Whipper Snapper stamps, which I think is so cute.

I have decided that this card is manly enough to give to my hubby for V-day, also, it's not one of my favorites, so I don;t mind giving it up (hehehe).

Well, I have 2 exams this week, so I am off to study, and I will be back to post A whachadoin Wednesday challenge tomorrow. Stay tuned.

For all of you that would love to participate in this Weeks challenge, head over to Maryjo's blog and read the details. Lots of fun. Keep warm.

Supplies
Stamps: Whipper Snapper
paper: Basic Grey (of course)
ink: copics, and memento, white pen
Misc: Prima flowers, brad, SU scallop punch

WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE #23 - Valentine Treats



SU INK & More host a challenge every Wednesday called WHACHADOIN' WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE. This weeks challenge was to make a Valentine treat holder. My holder is a small paper bag, which Michael's sells for 20 for $2.99 (I think). I used the newly released stamp set Will You Be My Valentine, and then colored with copics. I am still very new with the copics, and this was my first sky that I have been satisfied with. KDC came over yesterday and gave me a brief sky tutorial (Thanks Kerry).

So, If you live anywhere that is as cold (5 degrees) as it is here (NH) today, head to your craft space, create, and stay warm. Join in one the SU INK & More Challenge!

Bloggers Challenge #82 Same but different




HAPPY FRIDAY.....Fridays mean bloggers challenge, and this weeks challenge was to make a card that is the same but different. It is completely up for interpetation. I decided to go with different paper and stamps (kinda), and the same layout. I thought this was a great challenge.

Hey, did you notice my NEW stamps from clear dollar stamps? I was browsing the the splitcoast gallery and started to notice some really cute cards with the same really cute pig. Yep, Clear dollar stamps. I went and ordered the set (only $9.99), and received it approx 2 days later.

So, of course I needed to use these on todays challenge. I had a great time coloring them. Seriously, you should check out their website. They have some really cute stuff.

Well, on that note I would like to wish you all a FABULOUS Friday and a WONDERFUL weekend. I hope it is warmer where you are than where I live. When I woke up this morning it was -14 degrees out and I think the high today was 14. It is FREEZING. Keep warm!!!!

SUPPLIES:
stamps: Clear dollar
paper: Pig- Basic grey. Cow-making memories
ink: copics
misc: ribbon, brads
