American Crafts and WCMD

Can you tell I had fun actually making cards this weekend?  It was very fulfilling to actually try some of the challenges that were out there in association with World Card Making Day.  Psst - don't tell anyone but I actually made these today, Sunday.  I decided to have World Card Making Weekend.

Anyway, American Crafts also had a challenge.  I use to live less than a mile from their warehouse.  I'm so sad I'm gone.  I would buy my own Christmas present of stacks of paper and spools of ribbon at their warehouse sale in December.  And yes, I'm planning to drive 2 1/2 hours with 3 kids to go this year.  Here's the two cards I made with all AC products, except the ink.  I haven't bought any of their ink yet, since I live in the middle of crafting nowhere now.  But, come December...

Supplies - 
Card stock, patterned paper, stamps - American Crafts
ink - Versafine

Moxie Fab World Challenge

Wow - I've never participated in a world challenge before.  It's like I'm finally fulfilling my goal to be in the Olympics.  Ok, not quite, but it is my first Moxie Fab challenge.
The challenge was to, "Create a project (card, gift bag, tag, layout, home decor item, mini-book cover, etc.) that incorporates offset scallops in an innovative way."  I'm not so sure about the innovative way, but here's my card.

Sorry about the shadows.  Guess I should start my challenge projects sooner. You still have time to enter.  Go to http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/09/moxie-fab-world-challenge-offset.html for the details.  The more the merrier.
Thanks for stopping by!

Card Creations 8 Inspiration

Besty Veldman's blog is one of those I check almost every day.  Not only is she one of the Go To Gals for Paper Crafts, she's a Papertrey designer.  While she's a little more shabby chic than I am, I love her stuff and am learning to embrace my inner layering and distressing self.

She's having a challenge on her blog to create a holiday card inspired from Card Creations 8.  I chose Natalie Dever's card on pg 9 for my inspiration.

WCMD!!!

Hero Arts is having all kinds of fun today at their blog today (free stuff).  Hopefully I'll be able to make some cards for some of their challenges.  Here's a link to their site.

As soon as I get a little more tech savvy, I hope to put one of their blinkies on my blog.  Love their stamps and their blog has tons of good ideas.
