A fun new site

I have recently discovered a fun new site that sends you goodies and products to test and try out. I am not only a crafter but enjoy participating in online surveys and receiving things to try out. Check them out here.

A card creation for Challenges

I have just recently discovered a new stamping company that offers very reasonable price kits and they have lots of different options. You can find the info here. I have subscribed to the kit that includes a 6 X 6 paper pad and one stamp set each month. They have a color combo challenge going on now that I decided to participate in, to find out details click here. I am also part of a digital progressive challenge in which I receive digital images to create with so I decided to use one of them on this card. You can find the information about that challenge here. I also enjoy playing along with challenges on the Simon Says Challenge blog located here. I used the Echo Park Time and Seasons paper pad for this card that came with the October SP & Company kit. I used my Spellbinder dies to cut out the label shape and the blue patterned paper was cut using the Fiskars Upper Crest border punch. I hope you enjoyed this card. The sentiment was stamped with the "Just a note" stamp set from my October monthly kit from SP & Company.

CDC Progressive Challenge

I have been having fun receiving digital images to use in my papercrafting by participating in a progressive challenge here. I just loved this doily looking image. I have loved using the Lost & Found two 6 X 6 paper pad collections. The one that I chose to use this time was the "Sunshine" collection. The patterns and images are so vintage and wonderful. I didnt want to distract from the paper or the doily too much so I didnt add any other embellishments. I torn the edge on one of the papers and distressed it using Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink. I also used this same distress ink on the edge of the smaller strip also. I colored the doily image with my copics and I made them different sizes so I could layer them together.
