SSS13 X-mas in July

I used the same card for my entry over there also.

Let it Rain

I decided to use this card for two challenges. Why not kill two birds with one stone, huh? kerinstamps.com was a sketch challenge and thedigishack.wordpress challenge was to incorporate clouds. I made this card, mainly from scraps. I've been trying to use them up as often as I can.

SUPPLIES

Stamps: Stampendous Changito and sentiment

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Cardstock: GP, Core'dinations, and DCWV

I cut a piece of scrap paper into a cloud like shape and sponged around it to give the cloud affect.

Wedding card

My cousin Mandy got married last Saturday, also. Her new husband, Clayton, seems to be a kind, wonderful person. I wish them the best! Here is the card I created for them. Her colors were teal and choc. brown.

Kenzie's card

Kenzie turned 14 last Saturday, this is the card (w/ envie) I made her. She likes the color purple and is very much the girly girl.

Card for Mikayla

My boyfriend's niece had a birthday last Monday. I was alittle late sending it out. Sorry, Mikayla ;)

Card for my Mother

This is a card I made for my mom. She had mentioned to my sisters and I, that if we got her anything, she would like some flower seeds for the outside around her house. I thought this card went well with the gift. I got the cool idea from SCS, just tweaked the size alittle. http://sluman.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/2009/01/25/flower-pot-pocket-card/

Hello, I'm finally gonna get the nerve to post something, lol! I've had my blog for quite some time now, but I haven't had the nerve to post anything. I figured I might as well, since I want to start entering some of the sketch challenges that I'm constantly checking out. Everyone is so motivating. I will post some of the cards I've created lately, certainly not all. Hope you like them, as I am not as talented as many of the ladies I follow.
