Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #83

I loved this layout so much I just had to do a card. I have limited time with Halloween just around the corner. I'm making all of our family halloween costumes and have only created my patterns, but have not yet cut the material. I won't tell you just yet what we are all going to be but I'll post a photo of our costumes from last year that I made. Here is the card and layout. Thank you Taylored expressions, I love this sketch. Oh, I should also mention that my son has hidden my mono tape so I had to magically piece this card together. I sure hope I find it soon. ALSO, check out my sister-in-law's challenge card HERE

CPS 134 Challenge and Cuttlebug Spot 1 year Anniversary

This card was for CPS 134 challeng, and cuttlebut spot challenge 1 year anniversary. I love this stamp and couldn't wait to use it. I did discover that I need to do a run to my local craft store for some ink and cardstock. I'm running a little low.
The stamp is Dasher from Stampin up!. I also used the cuttlebug snow embossing folder.

The item I would love to buy from custom crop is http://www.customcrops.com/product_info.php?cPath=102&products_id=231127441

CPS130 - Card positioning system

This was a great opportunity to try out my new halloween stamp set. Halloween is on its way.

I scored both sides of the card to create a two flap card. The happy halloween opens up and the haunted house opens up.

I also tried for the first time the shoe lace brads with floss.

I hope you enjoy the card.

Baby Announcement

This was the baby announcement that was created for my daughter Chelsea. Thank you to my Stampin UP! group for helping me create them.

The design idea came from Stampin Up! With some modification to colors and ribbon.

You can find it in the spring-summer 2009 catalog on pg. 143.

The design I created uses chocolate chip, pale plum, and Lavender Lace color cardstock.

The entire front image is attached to a medium size envelope with the top removed and a circle punch used for the tab.

A scallop edge punch was used for the top and bottom of the chocolate chip cardstock.

Thank you card

This card was created using the stamping up "definitely decorative daisy", and "Best Blossoms stamp sets. The stitching was done by hand and the colors are the Stampin Up! YoYo yellow, and Only orange.
