mooooooo

just a quick card share...i made this card on friday, it is sooo cute!

the little truck and trailer (minus the wheels) and cows are raised up with little foam square thingys.

the stamps are stampin up ones (sorry dont know the sets!) and once again, just used scrap card stock.

a bit rude! (and sketch #41)

****warning**** the following image may offend some viewers. please avert eyes now if you are easily offended. lol





last night my friend...(lets call her "ronika" (lol) ) was over to scrap, and she made the funniest card...so i copied it with her permission (of course!) and thought i would share it with you. (see "ronika" i told you i would!)please skip this post if you are easily offended...no hate mail either please! lol






i used my wild about you set (stampin up), pumpkin pie and old olive ink as well as scraps of card (and 3 brads!)
this also fits the sketch challenge over at beates blog for this week (#41)
i love it! i will never look at that stamp set the same way again! but i dont think this card will make it into the shortlist of the cards i am making for the school fete!
have a great day

simple challenge

i bet you thought i had forgotten about you! nope...just been busy.

i have a challenge for you today (if you choose to accept it that is!)

todays challenge is -

make a card using ONLY - one sentiment stamp (or sticker) one piece of patterned paper and 3 pieces of cardstock - one of which MUST be black( the 3 bits of cardstock include your card base) thats it....nothing else...no bling, no ribbon...nothing! of course you can use adhesives...but no extra stamps or stickers...nothing! time to get creative :-) dont forget to send me a pic of your creation so i can share here!!!

heres what i came up with last night -

you cant see it very well but the card base is black....and i used a scrap of urban lily paper...very simple, but i think its cute.

have a great day

recycle challenge

i made 4 small cards for this challenge... you might call them a set i suppose! i rescued this from my recycling bin -

(it is the cardboard packaging that some princess stickers came in)

and i made these with it! -

how cute are they?! they are only very small, but they are so cute! i still have ariel to do, but i cant decide on her colour yet, i might do her orange...what do you think?

luv tina

mums recycled card

heres what mum came up with for the recycled challenge.

she used some acetate off a display box (***note**** this was not the box she used...i got the pic off the internet just so you get the idea!)

and then she cut it out on her robo to make this -

clever huh?

good job mum!

luv c

heres another challenge for you today......
create a card (duh!) -it has to have a main image on the front...but you cant use any stamps of any sort anywhere on the card!
hmmm tricky
i have started my recycled challenge card, so will hopefully share that sometime today.
have fun
luv c

todays challenge is.....
use something from your recycling bin on a card!!!!!
weird i know lol, but it could be a bit of card board...etc etc (hey i am not giving away MY idea! lol) make sure (if you send it in) you let me know what piece of junk you used (and a pic of it before hand if you like!)
