Here's a card I created for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge to create something with "A Bit 'O Green"...I used bazill cardstock and some Stampin' Up stamps to make this card...and the postage stamp punch. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I'm on a winning streak...

Well...you may recall last weekend I participated in a Kards for Kids Challenge...I won my showcase on THH PRICE IS RIGHT GAME...I also won the "DEAL OR NO DEAL" game...WOO HOO !! AND I submitted 30 boy cards for Kards for Kids by the end of February for the "boy card" challenge, and my name was drawn as a winner...I won an awesome prize...$25 gift certificate to YOUR NEXT STAMP !! Woo hoo !! I'm having tons of fun creating cards for challenges and most especially for "Kards for Kids"

Moving Along with the Times Challenge - Lovely Ladies

Here's a card I created for the Moving Along with the Times Challenge. The theme was "Lovely Ladies"...in other words use a lady or ladies as the focal point. I'm lucky to have been able to use the TINK stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie (I stamped this image awhile back when I was scrappin'/card-making with my pal Peggy T...it's her stamp...and I'm soooo jealous of her KKS collection...although I benefit 'cuz she allows me to use them too). I'm pleased with how this card came together...and it will go in the box for "Kards for Kids".

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #168 - Pastels

Here's a pretty clean and simple card I created using one of my favourite KK stamps. The challenge was to use pastel colours on our creation. I'm pleased with how this turned out and will be sending it in with more cards I've created for "Kards for Kids".

My Favorite Things Challenge #113

Here's a card I created using a Meljen's Design digital image (such a cute smiley cupcake). The card is based on the sketch provided by MFTs. You can barely see the wee tiny gems added as sprinkles in the picture...but they sure add dimension and sparkle. The "Seize the cupcake" greeting is from a cupcake set I bought a few years ago... unfortunately I don't know the manufacturer 'cuz it's not on the storage sheet !! I'm sending this card to my pal Alex J. who is away at University...she LOVES cupcakes, and I thought it was bright and cheery and would make her day, especially since she's in Sudbury (I can't even imagine how cold and dreary it is there).
