Card Challenge Day 18 - PLENTIFUL PATTERNS

Today challenge for 365 cards threw me for a loop just a little. You were to use at least three of the following patterns of paper:

Plaid, Paisley, Gingham, Houndstooth, Toile

Not my usual mix of patterns but then again that is why it is called a challenge! LOL I had to first figure out if I even had any of these papers and if I did what is the chances of them matching? Luckily, I had some that worked pretty good together. The Houndstooth paper was a little too bold with a brown and white color so I took some Chestnut Roan ink to it to tone the white down. Inking it made a big difference - it made it coordinate a little better with the other papers. For the Toile paper I just cut an oval image out of that and made it my main image on the card.

Happy Easter

Here is a little chick I made for you to use on those Easter layouts or projects. The whites of the eyes are not included in the file. They are just easier to draw in with a white Signo pen.

Just a Swingin'

Here is a simple layout I did of the kids swinging this past summer. The silhouette file can be downloaded below:

Per a request, I did just make a little boy swinging from the tree. Please see this post.

Card Challenge Day 17 - TWINCHIES

Happy St. Patricks Day to everyone!

I hope you all have the "Luck of the Irish"!

Todays challenge at 365 cards was a Twinchies challenge. Your card could be a Twinchie or you could put two or three or more on your card. There also needs to be a decorated piece of cardstock or something that is 2 x 2 inches. Here is the card that I came up with:

Another card challenge

When Jane commented on one of posts the other day asking me to join in a challenge over at Just Scraps, I thought well why not. The challenge was to use Red, Black and White all over your card or layout project. I loved the looks of these colors together but these are not colors I would regularly make a card with. I love how it turned out though! The digi stamp was a freebie over at Digital Doodling and the scalloped template behind the stamp was from Penny at Penny Duncan's Creations. Penny is a wonderful person with many great free SVG files and tutorials on her site!

Card Challenge Day 16 OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Todays challenge at 365 cards was Opposites Attract. We were to feature a pair of opposites on our card. The baby on the card can be found on Denise's blog. She is one talented lady with some awesome free files. The pregnant mommy file can be downloaded below:

Card Challenge Day 15 - AD INSPIRED

Todays challenge at 365 cards was to use the following photo as your inspiration for making a card:

The card that I made for this challenge also works for the MOJO Monday Sketch:

In case you can not tell, this is a tipped over basket of Easter Eggs. I tried to stamp the eggs with designs to replica the eggs in the 365 cards challenge photo. For some reason, I can not get the photograph to show the green stamping on the eggs. The blue is showing up great but not the green.
