Papertake Weekly...Four Seasons

Over at Papertake Weekly they're looking for cards that represent one of the four seasons. I chose this card to represent Spring...yellow is my favorite color and always makes me think of Spring (not my favorite season) and of course I've put a Spring flower on the card using Stampin' Up's Pick a Petal set. Pick a Petal is my absolute favorite stamp set, it is so versatile...not that I think up any creative uses on my own, but I do spend a lot of time looking at the SCS gallery for fun ideas!!

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!

Crafty Creations Challenge #27

Prepare yourselves for a marthon of posting today...I've got four challenges completed and I'm leaving for Tucson tomorrow, so they all have to go up today!! And without further ado, let's talk about Deena's challenge to use buttons on a project over at Crafty Creations. My sentiment for this card came from Jeanette B. in a sentiment swap over at the CardMaker magazine Card Swaps message board. The patterned paper is from Fancy Pants...their Delight series, the flowered paper is Potpourri & the striped is called Spice.

Just Christmas and Brithday Cards #41

What a fun sketch Kristen has over at Just Christmas and Birthday Cards! I got to use a sentiment from a swap and some of Jeanette B's card candy on this fun card. The sentiment & card candy both came from swaps over at CardMaker magazine Card Swaps message board. And see that cute gingham border around the sentiment...out of a summer package of goodies from Target's $1 bin. Don't you just love a bargain??

Card Positioning Systems #127

Here's my idea for the Card Positioning Systems #127 challenge. The beautiful image came from a card candy swap over at CardMaker magazine Card Swaps message board.

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 63 - Floral Fantasy

The girls at A Spoon Full of Sugar are looking for cards that feature flowers this week! This was an easy challenge for me, especially using this pretty Raspberry Tart paper and the five petal flower punch. I first made this card design at a Stampin' Up party, so I'm sure it's a familiar design to a lot of you!

Happy Saturday!

I'm trying out the feature that allows me to post at a later date today! We've gone to Beaver Bend State Park in SE OK for a family weekend arranged by Wayne for everyone we've ever been related to or may ever be related to in the future! OK, so not everyone...but almost! All of our kids will be there, my sister, her husband & two of their three girls, my mom, Wayne's sister & her family, and Wayne's mom. I made this card for Wayne to thank him for all the effort he's put in to planning this so that we can all have fun & relax together!
