WHAT IF? WEDNESDAY AT REPEAT IMPRESSIONS

Hi blog friends.....

What's the best part about your Wednesdays???? 

For me and my fellow Rock Stars DT at Repeat Impressions its What if? Wednesdays or Designer's Choice Challenges.....it flips each week. 

And then on Mondays, it's Project of the Week (aka POTW) where one of the Rock Stars will show you a project showcasing some fab ideas and techniques.  So, check out Mondays and Wednesdays at The House That Stamps Built Blog  Joy has one posted for this week.  She's showing how she creates multiple gift tags for Christmas without a lot of work.  Check it out! 

So, on to the WIW sketch challenge - this week, Wendy gave us this sketch and we hope you'll take the WIW challenge. 

Create a card using this sketch, post it to your blog or online photo gallery, link it to the area at The House and when you do, you'll be entered into the drawing for $25.00 worth of fabulous RI stamps of your choice.  IF you use a RI stamp in your creation, you'll be entered in the drawing TWICE! 

Here's my card using Wendy's sketch

I love this "BOO!" Stamp #2316-G.  I have very few Halloween stamps because I don't really "get into" Halloween, especially the gory, creepy stuff. I used some tiny punches I got at AC Moore for the bats and cat and then some sequins for sparkle.  I also used Stickles to bling up the bats, the cat and the sentiment. 

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a great rest of the week! 

CAS CHALLENGE AT OUTLAWZ

Happy Sunday, blog friends!!!!

Sundays are CAS challenge days and this week it's Cara's turn and here is her challenge. 

"September is National Baby Safety Month. So let's celebrate our little ones doing something little ones do so well ... make us smile and laugh! Does not require a baby image, just be baby related and CAS!"

Here's my card for Cara's challenge. 

 

The stamp set I used for this card is from GKD called "Oh, Baby" designed by Rupa Shevde.  I colored the teddy with Copic Markers.

CAS CHALLENGE AT OUTLAWZ

Hi blog friends! 

It's time for another CAS challenge over at Outlawz (this time it's my turn to challenge you) and I you're invited to play along.

It's a September birthstone challenge.

"Sapphire, the September birthstone, has been popular since the Middle Ages and, according to folklore, will protect your loved ones from envy and harm. Medieval clergy wore sapphires to symbolize heaven, while commoners thought the gem attracted heavenly blessings". This challenge is to make a monochomatic card using Sapphire Blue as the dominate color....keeping it CAS.

 

There are some awesome prizes to win and lots of inspiration at The Outlawz Challenges each and every day.   

 

This is a card I made for a little inspiration.

 

 

 

For this card I used only 3 dies, one embossing folder and some Copic Markers for coloring. 

Dies:  Memory Box "Joy" and "Country Landscape"

             Impression Obsession "DIE108-F". 

I colored the sledder in an ombre technique with Copic Markers. 

Embossing Folder is from Sizzix and it's "Falling Snow", (although I'm not sure that's it's name).

My card stock is from GKD "White" and "Blue Denim". 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fabulous week!
