Blogger's Challenge

Morning everyone. Today is Blogger's Challenge day. Today's challenge is to pick a technique and make a project with it. I am not a technique kind of gal but I decided to give it a try anyway so off to SCS I was to find just the perfect technique.

What I decided to do is the Grid Technique. HERE is a link to the directions on SCS. I figured that since I needed to make a birthday card for Scott that I'd combine the two and here is what I came up with. Scott is 22 this year...I just couldn't decide what to use as a main image so I used Lovely As A Tree and went from there. I just scored the grid marks on my Confetti Vanilla card stock, then inked up my old Canvas background stamp, sponged some extra color around the edges and that became my main image. The rest...well, I wasn't feeling very inspired so it is very simple. I had to use some hardware though as ribbon would never do on Scott's card!

Overall, I like the grid technique but probably could have been a little more creative with the overall layout of the card.

If you'd like to check out what the other bloggers have done just check out the list in my side bar and you'll be all set to go!

Also, I told you that I'd let you know who won my blog candy from Sunday's post and that is...

Congrats Heather! I need you to e-mail me your snail mail address (click on the e-mail button at the upper left hand side of my blog) by Sunday evening.

Please don't forget about the digi image that is being sold to raise money for Henry's Memorial. More information can be found about that HERE. I'll be back tomorrow with a neat announcement!

Blogger's Challenge

It's Friday! My goodness this week has gone quickly but I am still so glad it is Friday!

Welcome, to Blogger's Challenge #122. This week's challenge is to make a no layer card. Interesting, I thought, as I had this same challenge just last week for another group. Anyway, as you can see I went with the same idea as yesterday only executed a different way. This time I made a stencil out of my Ornament Punch by just punching it through a piece of a window sheet. You then just make your ornament by sponging the color in the punched out area. Believe it or not I just stamped one of the trees from Lovely As A Tree a couple of times for the branch. The silver cord is from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Now, the sentiment on the ornaments is from an old set of rub-ons from Stampin' Up! but I don't recall the name of it. My colors for this card are Bravo Burgundy, Apricot Appeal, and Handsome Hunter (yes, you do see some HH where it isn't supposed to be but don't tell anyone!). I was hoping the colors would look a little vintage Christmas. All of the items you see on the card, including the Shimmery White cardstock (yes, again!) can be purchased through my SU! website for which there is a link in my right side column.

I'm hoping to work on making a Holiday Planner today. I'm also hoping I can have it done today so I can show it to you tomorrow so please stop back. I'll leave you with a Psalm and comment...

"For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people." Psalm 144:4 I take pleasure in all of you, my online friends!
