Kwerner Design Color Inspiration Photos Challenge

I saw this challenge and new right away I had to submit one of my favorite photos of all time. This was taken back in July 2005 during our annual Fourth of July family camping trip.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #4

Here is my entry for "I Like You the Least". My least favorite thing is cutting letters for a card or layout as I can never get them straight and they are hard to glue down (kind of messy). I tend to use phrases off the cartridges instead of the letters so in true challenge form I did 4 cards using letters from the Sans Serif Cricut cartridge. To this one I added a Prima flower, some sheer ribbon, shimmery ivory paper and a silver stud to "girly" it up a little (this is the same papers as my Dad card).

My Pink Stamper Challenge #7

Here is my "Hey Dad" entry. Nothing fancy but I tried a few new things. I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and then I sanded my paper. The blue strip of paper was cut with my Creative Memories Rotary Cutter using the Wavy blade. I cut the "{Dad}" using the Sans Serif Cricut cartridge.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #6

This Challenge is "kids craft too". Here is the card that my daughter (she will be 4 in a couple of weeks) made for her Daddy. The base is a pre-made card from Michael's. The kitty and doggie are foamies that she added. "Daddy" was cut with the Every Day Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge (she loves to push the buttons), he was cut a 4". I did make the heart for her and she wrote her name with a white jelly roll pen. Nothing fancy but she sure had a good time making it ~ she was super "cited" for her Daddy to get home so she could give it to him.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #3

This Challenge was to "think outside the box" and use or try something that you don't normally do. So I put all of my stuff on a little bit of an angle and I used some brads which I even distressed.

I started with a basic A2 white card and added a piece of Recollections grey cardstock cut at 5 5/16 x 4 1/8. The striped cardstock is from My Minds Eye 29th Street Market cut at 5 x 3 3/4. The pregnant belly is cut from Paper Reflections solid cardstock.

This one was hard for me, I guess that is why it is called a challenge. Not having things straight is way out of my comfort zone!

My Pink Stamper Challenge #2

Here is my project using my scraps. I made a basic A2 card and then just cut a strip about 2" wide that I punched both sides of with a Fiskars border punch, added a strip of yellow and some purple ribbon from American Crafts. I cut the cupcake from the Once Upon A Princess cartridge at 3 1/4", I also used some stickles.

National Scrapbook Day

Here is my card for the My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge #1



I made a basic A2 white card. The first pink layer is Creative Memories paper cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/4. The patterned paper is also from CM and is cut at 5 1/4 x 3. The pink (same paper as first layer) is cut at 5 1/4 x 1 1/2 and I used the Stampin Up! Celebrations punch on it. The green is also from CM cut at 5 1/4 x 2 which I ran through my Cuttle Bug in the Swiss Dots folder. The flower was was cut from the Once Upon A Princess Cricut Cartridge at 2 1/4", all of the paper used was scraps and the pretty gem is from Recollections and the Grandma sticker is out of my stash.
