OTWC #33

Hello everyone!  I have neglected my little blog here since the release of the newest

stamp set from Wilson Designs.  I was actually on vacation last week during the release so I was

posting and editing on our laptop in our hotel!

Now, some of you know that I've had a bit of a "scare" at work this week.  I have not been in

the mood to stamp because of this disturbing news the last 2 days.  However, I had a card to make

for a co-worker's baby shower so I used this week's OTWC Challenge colors for it!

This is my first week joining the Off The Wall Craftiness DT....I'm loving the colors!!

  Here are the inspiration photos for this week.

This week is sponsored by May Arts.

Here is my card and it will be given to her tomorrow at work.  I hope she likes it!

The inside is decorated too but I already have it sealed to deliver!  Oh well!

The layout for this card came from the Papertrey Paper Dolls blog.....the

challenge was issued by my friend, Jen. I think this card is pretty self-explanatory but I wanted

to mention that the twine used as the vine was actually colored in with my Copics!

The little vine image with the sweet pea stamp had stamped so light that I thought I would

make my own!  Go check out the latest PPD challenge.....this card just may be featured! 

This week's sponsor is May Arts. Please visit Off The Wall Craftiness for more information

and your chance to win.

Now, I need you to visit the other DT blogs for more inspiration using these colors!

BOY

Hello and thank you so much for stopping by!  I have not used the Baby Button Bits set yet for an actual baby card except for one sentiment.  In need of a baby boy card, I thought it was a good time to put it to use!  Lots of Library Ledger papers and I used my favorite new die:  Dienamics banner die from MFT.

I didn't want to try to "color" the teddy bear so I did the easy thing......stamp and cut out!

Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #9

This challenge hosted by Katie was certainly a fun one:  What is old is new! 

I had to go back in time and find my first PTI stamp set.......So, I have a challenge of  my own! 

Can you guess which PTI set my card is made from? 

Hint:  it's NOTHING baby related!

I did have to think outside the box for my "baby" card but I LOVE how it turned out!!  I sooo want PTI to release their own BANNER SET!!!  Please please please!!  So, I created a banner of my own!

Any guesses yet?  Here is a close up picture of the border I created with one of the stamps from this set. 

Another hint:  I only used 2 total stamps from this set!  (and Baby Button Bits)

Please come and play with the Papertrey Paper Dolls blog......we have great challenges!

Thanks for visiting my blog!  I'd love to hear your guesses!!

ShoeBox Projects

As promised, here are the ShoeBox projects that we completed while at Stampin' Away!

First up, is the card I designed as my project.  The inspiration for the colors for this card, admittedly came from a SU flyer.  But the goodness on the card is ALL PTI!!  I think I am in love with these Button Bits stamp sets!  This flower image just sold me on this set and you don't even have to use buttons for it to be useful!  Really, nothing fancy here on my card but I really like how it turned out especially with that large sentiment! 

Next up, is the card designed by Jen Carter.  This card uses PTI goodies as well starring Green Thumb.  I don't personally own this set so it was so much fun to stamp with it!  I used her set to make another card that will be posted at a later date. 

Next, is a card designed by Barb Foster.  Her card uses a very popular TAC set called Victorian Elements and the rock 'n roll technique.  Very fun and I love the results!!

Next up, is a card designed by Laurie Willison.  Her card uses a stamp set from TAC as well called Wonder and Joy.  And if you like to color, this is a set for you!  I got in on using OMS and Prismacolor pencils for coloring this one!  I stamped off some other images from this set (thanks Barb) so that I can practice some more coloring!

Lastly, is a card designed by Brenda Hauff.  This card uses a stamp set from TAC too!  This set is called Dear Friend.  Here I used a different coloring medium:  Copics!!  I need lots more practice but it turned out so pretty!
