Card Challenge

Thursday, January 27, 2011


Today's card makes me thing of spring, although it sure doesn't look like spring in Indiana.
One of my favorite flower is a daffodil.  Heartfelt Creation has created the most gorgeous package of stamps with different size flowers and dies by Spellbinders to cut some of them.

I am selling Websters green and yellow trim now by the yard and I will soon be posting it.
It is so dainty and beautiful.  Doesn't it add a lot to this card?

One of my favorite dies from Spellbinders is the Lotus Pendant as I can do so many things with it.  This time I double layered it using a plain and a patterned paper.  I cut out a circle, then using the cut out part, trimmed it to make a square so it would act as a window.  I first thought I would but it on top of the flower, but after working with it decided I liked it best underneath.  What do you think?  I embossed with with Cuttlebug's Kassie Embossing Folder.  I sure do like that one!!!  And, with my Vagabond I get  very deep embossing on it. 

I didn't like the look of a daffodil stem, so I added some Fern from my Mega Fern Punch (more arriving today). 

I hope my card brings a smile to your face, because it makes you think of spring.

My Tag for Tag Challenge

Tuesday, January 25, 2011
We have a tie for last week's Tag Challenge.  A big congratulations to Nancy and Linda.  Each of you will get an award badge to post on your blog and will be entered into the prize given in June.

Please remember the voting is open from Sunday night at 9:00 PM to Tuesday morning at 6:00 AM.  All you have to do is go to the tag posts (I have a link at the top) and click on the vote button for your favorite tag.  If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Also, Selma' tag is not included in the votes because she is my designer.  So, from now on she will not be posting her tag in the Challenge as I think it is too confusing.  I will always include a link for you to go see her tag.


I have created another Valentine tag for my many Valentine Tags that I will be sending to my Grandchildren.
The Ranger tag was first covered with white Neenah Card stock and the Penny Black heart was embossed with Ranger Red Embossing Powder.

Be sure to check out Selma's beautiful tag.  You can see it here.

My Tag for Joan's Gardens #3 Weekly Tag Challenge

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

I finally was able to finish my tag for Joan's Gardens #3 Weekly Challenge. I have lots of Valentines to do for my family and this year they are getting tags.
Great idea don't you think?  Do you have yours all made already?  This will be for an adult of course. 
I haven't started the kids yet.

 I just can't get enough of Graphic 45's new Springtime Paper collection.  I just love it, so I used it again this week on my tag. 
Early Monday Evening Selma and I were on Skype video (oh how fun) and she showed me her tag.  I laughed because I had been working on mine and I was also using the
Springtime collection paper.  By all means be sure to go to Selma's blog and see her tag.  My mouth fell open when I saw it as is so awesome.  Please take time to read all about it too.
I hope you can join us this week with your tag. If you need help learning how to load it, please email or call me at 574 656 3663 and I will be glad to help you.
