That Might Look Good on a Card

Playing with new stash

Both of these cards will go to gals in my Red Hat chapter.

The red and purple color scheme might give it away.

First, I used a new stamp from Honey Doo to make a card for a friend who is doing some hospital time.

And here's the second card using a favorite Card Creator Die set from Spellbinders and some new SU paper.

I'll be walking these two cards to the mailbox as soon as the dryer buzzes. Until then, I'm going to enter a few...

The other day I stamped and colored several flower bouquets from the February Close to My Heart Stamp of the Month set. Realizing I needed to make several cards yesterday, I pulled out those bouquets and scoured the current sketch challenges to help get the job done.

Here are the results.

For Freshly Made Sketches #420:


I missed the deadline on this challenge, but I like the layout anyway.

And, just because I needed one more birthday card, one of my own design:

Double Trouble Challenge # 49

There's a new box next to my craft desk. This one is for Easter/Spring cards, which I will mail off to Send a Smile 4 Kids*.

It's also a new week and a new challenge at

Double Trouble Challenge Blog.

This month the theme is Again and Again (using something multiple times) with options of including a critter and also entering the Use Your Stuff Challenge.

I found the little bunnies dies at a used craft sale a few years ago.

The frames are dies from My Favorite Things.

And for this cute Easter Bunny digi, which I colored with markers, hop over to Mo's Digital Pencil.

Cardz 4 Gals Challenge #114 - Use Kraft Paper (The frames and bunnies are kraft paper. The bunnies are from the same sheet but I colored them with marker so they would be a bit darker than the frames.)

*The February challenge at Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge is Easter/Spring cards. I'd love to see your ideas there.

Catch the Bug Photo Challenge

Bugaboo Stamps has some really cute penguin stamps, which made it easy to create a card for their current photo inspiration challenge using one of their images.
