Summer Card Camp: Card 3

Hi Everyone,

Well, it is the second week of summer card camp and that means that there is a new color combination challenge. I really found this color combination to be rich, bold, and vibrant. These colors really spoke to me. I went out to Michael's craft store earlier this evening and found the stamp for only a dollar! It stamped beautifully! I was totally inspired by the saying and thought that the butterflies went right along with it. Here is my third card of camp and first of Week #2's color challenge.

Enjoy!

Sweet Chick MPS Challenge-A Feathered Friend

Hello Friends,

I am entering another My Pink Stamper challenge. This time you had to make a card using "a feathered friend". I chose the baby chick from the Create a Critter cartridge which is still hands down my favorite cartridge of all. The challenge also suggested using the stamp set "Tweetie Hoo Puns" which is a Pink Stamper set. I didn't have this stamp set but I found the sentiment, "Sweet Chick" from the  "Punny-licious" MPS set. I'm glad that worked out because I would not have received the "Tweetie Hoo Puns" stamp set in time even if I had ordered it...LOL doesn't mean I won't buy it in the future right?

Hope you enjoy the card! Check out the gold stickles on the chicky's wings! Bling Bling

Invitations for an Asian Dinner Party

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post on my new blog. I wanted you to know that my best friend Nicole hosted a wonderful Asian Dinner Party the other night. She is a fabulous entertainer, chef, and photographer. She called me up a month or so ago and asked me to make some invitations for her for her party. I quickly thought of the Pagoda cartridge and experimented with several of the images on it. I narrowed it down to the pagoda, fan, and kimono. Here are some pictures of how the invitations turned out.

Aren't they beautiful! I had a great time making these and they were a hit at Nicole's Party.
