Saturday Night Challenge

My friend Pat over at One Little Spark has been hosting the Saturday Night Challenge for as long as I remember now! I always have good intentions of participating but the week always flies by and before I know it, I've missed the deadline.
So this week, I finally completed the challenge on time and I am even getting in under the deadline!
The challenge was to make a card featuring a cutout. I kept it very simple as you can see! I used my circle punch to cut a sun out of a Memory Box 6 x 6 paper from One Little Spark.
The sailboat and seashells stamp was my newest purchase from Pat's shop. I just love this stamp and when I saw the card Pat made with it, I had to have it!
I punched the edge of the patterned paper that I used for the "water", which is another Memory Box 6 x 6 paper that I bought at One Little Spark, along with the Copic Markers I used to color the image. I finished off with a little bit of stickles from Paper Wings on the sailboat and the shells.
I had fun with this challenge and hopefully I will make it next week too! (don't hold your breath, LOL!)

Don't forget to check out my {ippity} blog for a sale on the Fall and Winter releases! I am making room for the Spring 2010 release that is set to debut on May 13, 2010!

See you soon! Have a lovely weekend!

Cleaning Out My Craft Room & Saturday Night Challenge Cards

My craft room is getting OUT OF CONTROL! One of my goals for the New Year is to SIMPLIFY my life! I am a self-proclaimed pack rat and am trying to change that! I can't stand the clutter that it causes and am working hard on changing my ways. I went through some of my old stamps that I have either NEVER used or used once 5 years ago! I listed some for sale on Split Coast Stampers, so check it out!

I made two cards, both of which qualify for this weeks Saturday Night Challenge. In honor of Shelia's birthday, the challenge is to use her favorite color-purple-in either a card or layout. I also have a February birthday and since the birthstone is Amethyst, purple has always been one of my favorite colors too :)

Thanks for looking! Have a great Monday!

Saturday Night Challenge

The challenge this week was hosted by Shelia since Pat's daughter was in town and they were spending time together and did several classes at One Little Spark.

And since Shelia realized that January 28th was Pat's one year blog anniversary, she decided to change up the challenge from what she originally had planned. So this week the challenge was to make something that was inspired by Pat.

So, I did a card with my Nestabilities that I recently got from Pat's shop and also my Copics markers that I got after taking the Copics class that Pat's daughter Heather taught last weekend. In addition to the supplies I received, I just want to add that since Pat and Lee opened the shop, I have gotten back into card making, something that I haven't done much of in a long time but I truly enjoy!!! All of the adorable stamps they carry and samples in the shop have inspired me to create and it feels SO good :)

So here is my card, inspired by Pat! Happy Blog-iversary Pat!!! Hope you enjoyed the time you spent with Heather :)

Saturday Night Challenge

I haven't done the Saturday Night Challenge at the Scrapbook Cafe in quite awhile...busy, busy, busy! This week, the challenge was to make a gift tag, quick and easy, so I am in!

I made two, like I said, quick and easy...nothing special!
I used the Snow Friends stamp set from Close To My Heart for the first set, scallop square punch, a little Stickles for some shine and my new Koh-I-Noor pencils for a little coloring. The next one was an Inkadinkadoo set, some brads and my scalloped circle punch. A fun way to personalize a Christmas gift :)
