A Pink Butterfly

Oh, this summer has been flying by!  I've taken a break from posting

cards to just enjoy our short summer here in Wisconsin.  I really liked

how this card turned out, and it qualifies for three challenges.  I am

entering it at CASology for the cue word of "running."  I used a 

running stitch.  I really liked this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  

It's CAS and monochromatic for the challenge at The Paper Players.
I realize it's fairly close to Jen's card, I hope that's okay.

I will be giving it to my Mom for her birthday, and her favorite
color is pink.

Supplies:

Paper: PTI White, SU Pink Pirouette & Regal Rose

Dies:  PTI Stitching Lines & Life is Beautiful

Additional Supplies:  DMC Embroidery Floss #'s 225, 602, 961, 962, 963

With Love

I finally finished my BORING project for work, so I 

should have more time for fun cardmaking.  Anything

related to paper is automatically delegated to me at work ;(.

This card is for the "wood" challenge at CASology, and 

the "anything goes" challenge at Simon Says Stamp

Wednesday Challenge. I used the SU Hardwood background

stamp and inked with the same ink and cardstock colors, so 

hopefully the background is subtle enough to still be CAS.

Stamps:  PTI 2010 Love Tags, Tag Its # 11

Paper:  PTI White & Soft Stone, SU Poppy Parade &  Basic Gray

Ink:  PTI Soft Stone, SU Basic Gray & Pure Poppy

Dies & Punches:  1 3/4" Circle Punch, Spellbinders Scalloped Circles

Celebrate Today

Happy Anniversary CASology ~ Tomorrow is challenge 100!

It is my favorite challenge, as it gives so much freedom to 

interpret the cue word any way you choose ~ no color or sketch

requirements.  I've had a lot of fun with some challenges coming 

up with a different twist on the traditional way of interpretation.

The cue word this week is "Anniversary." I am also playing over 

at Darnell's new challenge ~ "NBUS."  I am loving the new wet

paint sets at PTI, and the sentiment is from the newest set ~ 

Wet Paint III.  I stamped the sentiment twice ~ in basic gray 

and pure poppy, since I wasn't happy with my first stamping 

effort.  Rather than waste cardstock, I tried to salvage it and 

am pleasantly surprised at how it turned out.

Supplies ~

Stamps:  PTI Wet Paint III

Paper:  PTI White, Soft Stone & Pure Poppy

Ink:  PTI Pure Poppy & SU Basic Gray

Father's Day Cards

I am the designated card maker at work.  This year

these are the cards that the babies in the neonatal 

intensive care unit I work at will be giving their Dads.

I am submitting them at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday

Challenge for their "Father's Day / Masculine" challenge.  The

colors in two of the cards are the same as this week's 

ColourQ challenge.  The patterned paper I used has

all of the colors for this week's challenge. I made 

multiples of each of these designs, using up some

of my retired Stampin Up paper.

Supplies ~

Paper:  All Stampin Up ~ retired patterned papers, cardstock to match the patterned paper

Dies:  Die-Versions # 1 Dad Sweet Spot & Spellbinders Circle
