Plain and Simple

The challenge at Allsorts this week is plain and simple. I dont know if I can get much plainer and simpler then this. Actually I am sure I can but I like how this came out. I have been looking for a miss you stamp that I like to put on the inside but I have not found one yet. Maybe when I go to work tomorrow I will look.

A New Fave Card

This has to be my new favorite card that I have made. It is so different then anything I have ever made and I LOVE it!. I took a copy of this digi into work today to find some paper that I liked with it. I ended up getting some Basic Grey paper. It is so different then anything I would have ever picked out before. In fact I didn't pick it up some one else did. When they got to the register they decided they didn't want it so it was put in my go back buggy. I saw the paper and had to have it.
The funny thing about the Basic Grey paper is that it looks lavender but it is not, it is a light black. I guess it is drawing out the color of the flowers. I ended up using sketch 81 from card patterns for inspiration.



More Details:

I made the flowers from Primas.

The digi is from digital 2 for tuesday.

Everything else is stash.

A Shaped Card

A number of challenges are asking for you to make a card that is NOT square or rectangle. I have never do this so I tend to skip those challenges. Today I decided to take it head on. I made a diaper shaped card out of 2 triangles welded together. Ignore my craptastic hand writing on the inside please...lol.

Fall Card

Its getting chilly in the mornings here in North Carolina. I love this time of year. You can actually go outside and breath. Ashville is only an hour away and the colors in the mountains are amazing. I decided to make a card that has a southern welcome. I used Word and some font that I like. I am not sure which one it is because I have hundreds of fonts. I was also able to use the card board box looking paper that comes in packs that I HATE! When I see it I am reminded of elementary school or the inside of food packages. I think it works here though.



Details:

All the paper is from Michaels. Most of it is recollections.

The ribbon has been in my stash forever. I got it from the dollar spot at target.

The leaves are from Paper Dolls Every Day

The acorns are from Doodle Charms

My Guest Design Project

So I am finally able to post about my card that I made for Digital Delights. I used Christmas Bonnie. Isnt she just the cutest ever?! I know it isnt that easy to see but I Made her shoes, hat ball, and star on the tree pop. To color her I used Copics, Spickas, Bic Mark its, and Martha Stewart glitter markers. Then I used my light blue Pebbles chalks to lightly color around Bonnie so the white paper wasnt as bright. The paper and pearls were from my stash and scraps.
