OCC Challenge - Happy Fall Y'all

Fall & Autumn cards are what the Our Creative Corner girls are looking for this week. This is a card I made at Sarah's last Technique class, use the Scor-Bug embosser which was a nifty little tool I had to order for myself! The paper is TAC, from the Penelope collection (I think). This was a fun card to make!

One Stop Craft Challenge #45

I had so much fun making this card! It's based on Nikki's sketch over at One Stop Craft Challenge. Probably the reason the card was so much fun is because it's a shower card for my TAC Angel, who is anxiously awaiting Baby Lily's arrival! I bet you can't guess what Lily's room look like...brown & pink with a bird painted on the wall. I always love it when I have the perfect stamp set for someone's card! I used two Stampin' Up sets, A Little Birdie Told Me and Baby Talk. For the background flowers I used a fun TAC set called Blooming Builders. Other supplies I used include the pink patterned papers & dotted ribbon, which came from Jane in a CardMaker magazine Card Swaps message board kit swap. And probably my favorite element is the pink, flocked flower ribbon from Prima. I don't normally choose flocked stuff, but this was in a bargain package and when I got to thinking about this card for Lily I figured "what the heck"...and lo & behold, I fell in love with it!!

Simon Says...Buttons and Ribbons

Yes, I could've submitted the previous card for both that challenge and the Simon Says buttons & ribbons challenge this week, but there's a method to my madness (which shall be revealed later...*grin*). For a girl who really does not like green...I have to say, I love this card. I wouldn't have been able to do it without Lori & Lora over at CardMaker magazine Card Swaps message board! The green dragonfly was a part of Lori's swap of card candy and the green buttons came out of a tin of goodies from Lora. The paper is from Stampin' Up's Rainbow Sherbet, my all time favorite DSP. And that darling little gingham ribbon is from TAC's Lily Anna set!
