This is the 1st card that I've done hand stitching on. It was very quick & simple to put together...the longest part of making this card was the stitching. This will be one of the many cards that will be send out to OWH (Operation Write Home) for the soldiers (deadline for Christmas cards is 10/30). Hope you enjoy & thanks for stopping by =)
Materials used:
Cardstock - Very Vanilla & Chocolate Chip from Stampin UP
Patterned Paper - Picked up from Joann's
Ribbon - Stampin UP (don't know the name it was in a pile of ribbon scraps)
DCM Floss (not sure of the color as it to was in my stash)
*I added another piece of Very Vanilla in the inside of the card to cover up the tape & stitching*
This challenge was to use the colors Orange, Purple, & Green! This is another very simple but cute card, here is what I did.
Materials used:
Cardstock - Basic Black from Stampin UP
Patterned Paper - Picked up from Joann's

The Happy Halloween came from a pack of Halloween Confetti that I picked up last year. I layered the Orange over the black to give it more of a shadowed look & used some dimensionals from Stampin UP to pop that up.
White gel pen faux stitching
Stamp - Grabbed this from the $1 bin @ Michael's (I didn't have any Halloween stamps when I purchased this...I don't think I will be purchasing another stamp from the $1 bin, took forever for a good clean stamped image to come out!)
Stampin Write Markers - Lavender Lace & Going Gray
This challenge was to make a Christmas card...which I needed to start anyway because I am going to be making cards for OWH (Operation Write Home) you can find there site here if you are interested in doing this. It is for our troops that are deployed overseas so they have homemade cards to send to their family for whatever occasion & our deadline to have our Christmas cards to our shippers in 10/30/10. Ok enough about that...here is what I did for this challenge.
Materials used:
Cardstock - Stampin UP Night of Navy, Whisper White & I believe Bashful Blue (that piece was given to me as well as the stamped image on the Top Note die from Stampin UP)
*I chalked some Bashful Blue on the Whisper White to give it more color it just looked to plain to me. I also used Brilliant Blue, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black & Only Orange to color in the little snowmen.*
Stamp - The more the Merrier (retired set I believe, I know it was a hostess set)
White gel pen to do some faux stitching.
Dimensionals from Stampin UP

I know I am! So far I have done some goodie/treat bags for a friends son & am putting the finishing touches on the ones that I am making for my husband's co-workers...just gotta wait till the end of the month to fill them, lol. I was on FB just now & saw this http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/hope-you-can-cling-challenge-forum-f299/ . It is a GREAT challenge, it will be going on all month & it's for a wonderful cause! I know that there are ALOT of blog hops going on today as well as several other blogs doing challenges such as Christina from Creations with Christina. If you have time swing on over & check out Emma from My Creative Time she has some wonderful projects done with her new Imagine! Hope you all have a wonderful day =)
Wow does time fly!!! But I am enjoying the cooler mornings & evenings....so far. I've been blah lately & hadn't really played around with anything. I won my very 1st Peachy Keen Stamps from Emma when she was doing a Halloween week celebration. The stamp set that I won was PK-632 Halloween Sweet Folks (soooo cute). This is what I came up with tonight while watching Prison Break on my laptop (it's been a while since I've watched it & I loved that show). I hope to be posting atleast 1 project/card a week. Don't forget that tomorrow is World Card Making Day & there is a big blog hop going on as well on Nicole's blog. This is the very simple...yet cute card I made with the set I won from Emma.
Materials used:
Cardstock - Only Orange (believe this color is now retired)
Patterned Paper - Debbie Mumm Harvest & Holiday (this stack has been sitting my craft room for almost a yr now!)
Ribbon - either grabbed at Joann's or Walmart but matches the paper well
Stamp - Halloween Sweet Folks (PK -632)
Dimensionals from Stampin' UP
I used my Stampin' UP stampin' write markers to color most of him in. I don't have all the old colors in my marker set so I used my blender pen & grabbed some ink from the ink pad to color in the orange & top part of his lil body.
