Make new friends but keep the old...

I joined a new blogger group today and am pretty excited! In honor of the occasion I made a card for friends in honor of all the new blogging friends I am going to make and also all the new friends I have made already!

I used best friends forevah from Stamping Bella for my main image. The sentiment is from a current SU! hostess set level 1. I use blue bayou (which I am so disappointed it retired!!!) and SU! dp. I also used some rhinestone stick ons and colored with my SU! markers.

So, here is to new friendships, new ideas and new inspirations!! And as always, welcome to my blog and please feel free to leave a comment!!

I am making up for my neglect! :) This is my third challenge for the Land Cruisers party in the GinaK forums. It was my first attempt at a gel card, and although I am happy with it, I think now that I know the technique I can do much better... I also incorporated the color challenge from this week - CC189 which was chocolate chip, pink and kiwi kiss....


What do you think???

OK, this is a card I am very excited about! I have had a bit of a post lag this week but I am getting back on track. I did two of the GinaK challenges on the Split Coast Stampers member forum for the land cruisers get together and want to finish the third tomorrow. I already have a great idea for it... :) So, both sets are GinaK designs sets and I am just getting into playing with them. So let me know what you think!


The first challenge was to use chipboard on your card somewhere. I used 3 hearts covered in DP.


The second was a 1, 2, 3 challenge. You were allowed to use 1 piece of ribbon, 2 layers and 3 embellishments the same. I actually am very happy with this card! I thought it would suck as I am not good without layering, but I am impressed.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

OK, here she is! This is my project for the stamping bella forum Halloween bash challenge... I always try and do the challenges in the hopes of winning a prize, but I think the only way that will happen is if it is a random draw!! lol Not that I don't like m y stuff and I do find I occasionally come up with stellar work, but there are so many talented stampers out there! You guys rock!

Anyways, I used the template for the box found here posted by Mel (stampztoomuch). Thanks so much for these!! So on that note - Have a great night! I will posyt my second bella challenge tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!

I have a friend going through this horrible illness right now, so I am glad that the challenges for color on SCS are shades of pink for the month! I just made her a little book from the instructions found here. I neglected to take pictures of it, and I just was so please with it, but I dropped it off to her today. She was on her way to another treatment.

Anyways, I made these 2 cards for the color challenges on SCS. One was also for the stamping bella forums posted weekly by Jamie. You can't see the wish for peace card with the pink pirouette too well, but it is better IRL. So have a great week! I will be posting again in the next couple of days. Take care!

Who ordered some blog candy??

Well, I got my DD to put all the names in into a draw for the blog candy and the lucky winner is Tricia!! I will get that out to you delivered with this adorable pizza box I made!!

This is my first attempt at these boxes and I used a retired set - Bushytailed Blessings - to give it a real harvest feel for Thanksgiving. It was the 3D challenge this week on SCS in the demo only forums...

Have a safe weekend to all my Canadian friends celebrating!! And my friends not in Canada - enjoy the rest of the weekend!
