The "rules" of the game:Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Hawaiian Penguin

I love the Penguin clear stamps by Imaginisce, they are adorable. They have the Penguin Chick and Penguin Dude. I still have to make a card with the Penguin Dude. They are so adorable though. I bought the pattern paper when I purchased the stamps through All That Scraps (I've ordered from them several times they are awesome). The card layout came from SCS SC179 as soon as I saw this challenge I knew what I was going to do.

Card Recipe:

Paper: SU Green Galore Cardstock, White Cardstock, Flair Deigns Tahiti Graffiti Pattern Paper

Stamps: Imaginisce Penguin Chick

Other: Couzzle Circle Template, Adhesive ribbon (from $1 store), Green stickles, Pink stickles

I really don't have anything planned to work on for the week. I have to get ink for my printer so I can work on the scrapbook pages from when we went to CT.

I would like to come up with an idea for a card that is not a traditional fold that includes the colors Pink, Red, White and Black. This is a challenge on another group and I'm having a hard time throwing pink into the mix. I'm still thinking of something though........

Another challenge is for the Sunday Scrappin group this week's challenge is to use lace. Hmmm.... I don't think I own any lace or ever even used lace on anything before. Hmmmmm......

Happy Hellos

This is another card I made just because. When I went to the craft store in CT last weekend I came across this watermelon paper that once I saw I instantly knew what I was going to do with it. This card turned out just like I visioned in my mind, which that seldomly happens.

Card Recipe:

Paper: Red Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Watermelon Stripe Pattern Paper

Stamp: House Mouse received from an image swap, SU Lots of Thoughts

Accessories: SU Scallop Punch, SU Wild Wasabi Ribbon

I made this card for the fun of it. I have been taking part in several image swaps on SCS so that I can get images of Bellas and House Mouse. I used the card sketch that I found on Stampin Inspirations Blog (click to go directly to the card sketch post). The only difference instead of putting the circles on the bottom of the card I had a larger space at the top that needed to be filled in. In the picture the ribbon looks like its not adhered fully but it is (I have checked and rechecked the card after looking at this picture). The ribbon I received in a swap awhile back its from TLC the other side has white flowers on it but that it didn't work for my card so I flipped it over to the plain side.

Card Recipe:

Paper: SU Berry Bliss Paper, K&CO Birthday paper pack
Stamp: Bella Image from an image swap

Other: TLC Ribbon, Stickles on the cupcake

Mom's Birthday Card

My mother's birthday is this week and I made her a card. The card was originally going to be different, there was a challenge I was going to take part in that required you to make a different fold card (different from the traditional fold) and it had to have the colors Pink, Red, White and Black. I had no problem with the Red, White and Black or the fold part but when I had to throw the Pink into the mix it wasn't working. So instead I went with this card and left the pink out. I tried several different cards with the Pink and I just wasn't feeling it, I guess that's why they call it a challenge. I'm still thinking though....I haven't fully gave up.

For this card I just have to stamp or write a message on the inside then it is done.

Card Recipe:

Paper: Black cardstock, White Cardstock, Red cardstock

Accessories: SU Scallop Punch, Divine Swirl Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Stamps: SU So Many Scallops

Other: Used SU Real Red Marker to color in the stamp

We're back

We came back home from visiting our family in Ct late Sunday night. We had a wonderful time with the kids, they are so adorable. On Saturday Jeff got up early and went to work with his brother while my sister in law and I went to the scrapbooking store. I got to go to the New England Scrapbook Co. what a great store, I wish we had a scrapbook store like that in NY (instead I'm stuck with the same old same old Michaels). I spent $60 I mainly got paper (hear Jeff squawking in the background LOL "Don't you have enough Damn Paper") but it was paper I haven't found any where else, I got some embellishments (hey had to get the playground stickers and had to buy 2 packages 1 for my layouts and one for my SIL page). I have to get ink for my printer and then I can get back to scrapbooking. My SIL loved the scrapbook I made her, when her parents came over to visit the first thing she did was show off the book.

I also got another fabulous award from my new blogging friend Forgetfulone.

Thank you so much. Receiving all of these awards are such an honor and they mean a lot to me.

I want to pass this award onto Lee, she is an amazing person and crafter. The girl is in the middle of moving and she still makes time to take part in challenges and create all kinds of fabulous creations. If you haven't already, go check out her amazing blog.
