Another quick and simple card. This one was completely inspired by Melissa Riker. The main image was simply randomly stamped in Dusty Durango on Whisper White before being layered onto a piece of Dusty Durango and the card base of Whisper White.
Supplies:
Jenn Dierks offered complete inspiration for this card. I needed an anniversary card too, so it was perfect timing! LOL! Very simple and quick! the Medallion image is stamped in Soft Suede onto Very Vanilla. A half-pearl from the Pretties Kit was adhered with a glue dot to the middle of the Medallion. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny wishes and punched out with the Modern Label punch. Loving that punch!!
Christmas again! This was the third card made in our August Holiday Card Class. Inspiration for this card came from Gretchen Barron, though I did change up a few things. 
My daughter wanted one of her sketch pads covered so I played with it while she swam. I simply unraveled the coil and recovered the existing cover with a sheet of Basic Black. All layers were adhered with Sticky Strip so I didn't have to worry about them loosening. Next came a layer of Old Olive and finally a layer of Cast-A-Spell double-sided Designer Series Paper. The main skull image is from the Just Jawing stamp set. This was stamped on Whisper White with Jet Black Stazon and layered on Old Olive as well as Basic Black. The same with the "you rock" wording. Two layers of ribbon were adhered to a strip of Basic Black cardstock with Sticky Tape as well ~ 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain and 1/4" Basic Black grosgrain. I then repunched the holes and inserted the coil again. A quick and easy way to personalize a notebook!
Here is the second of the 3 holiday cards we made at the Holiday Card Class last week. Pretty simple and straightforward. The ornament is a circle cut from the Merry Moments DSP.
Each year, I like to begin in August hosting a monthly Holiday Card Class where we make some holiday cards, usually 3-4 of 3-4 designs. We get together one night each month for 4 months and by the end of November, have plenty of holiday cards to send out!
Good Wednesday Morning! Our DIVA challenge this week is a sketch challenge. Wanna play? Come on, you know you do. It's fun! This is the sketch we have to work with this week. Remember~ you can flip or turn the sketch if you want to. You can interpret the sketch any way you see fit.

Our Late Night Stampers challenge this week is to CASE a card from the catalog and make it a kid's card - making sure we changed 2 things in our version of the CASE. I started out attempting to case the card on the bottom of page 72, but it didn't go well and I ended up changing it altogether. Oh well. Sometimes it just doesn't go as planned. So, I changed the colors, the stamps and the layout. It WAS a springboard for inspiration, though, and I am happy with how it came out.
a shower my sister is giving a friend. These use the scallop bag die with the Big Shot and a dear friend helped me put them together.
I am very excited as the Divas have asked me to stay on the Design Team for another term! We have a color challenge this week for the Diva Coffee Break Design Team. Why don't you try to play along with us? You know you want to...It'll be fun! Simply make your creation using the above colors in the color challenge. You can make a card, scrapbook page, 3-D item - any paper craft! Then upload it to the blog using Mr. Linky. We would love to see what you create!
This card is my take on the color challenge. Very spring-like colors! 
I am in a CASing mood again. This time, I took the layout from Sandi MacIver. I wasn't sure if I was going to like how this one came out - lots of yellow in there....but I am pleased with the end result. I did, again, use the Perfect Detals Texturz Plate and Big Shot to get the embossed "lattice" affect. The butterflies are simply punched with the butterfly punch out of the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. They each have a silver brad in the middle with some natural hemp wrapped around it.
I have shamelessly CASE'd again! Silke Ledlow made this card and it just struck me as so elegant and beautiful, yet simple, that I had to make one of my own! 
Our challenge this week for Late Night Stampers Group is to make a monochromatic card ~ varying shades of just one color, mixed with a neutral such as white or vanilla or kraft cardstock. This type of card is hard for me because I keep thinking I need to add something else. But, I tried to keep it simple and this is what I came up with.
