My Crafty Weekend

Hello friends.  I had a fun and crafty weekend, and now I am sharing what I created.  First up is my final entry into the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #60: Create a Scene.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #358: Holiday, Simon Says Monday Challenge: Stamp it, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Bling it On.

Next up is Yappy Birthday!  I am entering this card at AAA Birthday #5: Use a Stencil, Shopping Our Stash #404: Dog Days of Summer, and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Stamp it.

I used 3 different dies for my next card, which I am entering at Poppystamps Challenge #60: Anything Goes.  Aren't those monkeys adorable?  My design was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #339, and I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #505: Stacking Die Cuts

Less is More #404 wants us to be inspired by Typography.  When I looked it up to see what it was, I realized that I have many stamps featuring that element, and it was hard to decide with to use.  This card is also inspired by the challenge at The Paper Players #459: Marvelous Metalics (my ink is gold).

Last of all is another card inspired by the challenge at Less is More #404: Typography and also The Male Room #119: Autumn.

My Crafty Weekend

I had so much fun getting inky this weekend.  It's going to be a long post!

First up is this card using EH Bookworm Lady inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #396.

Another card to add to my birthday card stash:

I am entering this card at Color Throwdown #551:  Pink, Gold, Black and White, Just Us Girls #496 to make the sentiment the focal point, AAA Birthday #3: For the Girls, and Less is More #399: Celebrations.

Another birthday card, this one using the new Ellen Hutson Big City Die---cut three times and layered over a card front where I blended Distress ink using a PTI Sunburst Stencil.

I am linking this card up at Seize the Birthday #169: Sunshine, CAS on Friday #162: Use a Stencil, Addicted to CAS #163: Heat (from the sun), and AAA Cards #144: Maxi White Space.

Still on a roll with birthday cards, this one for the guys...

This card was inspired by the color scheme at Paper Players #450, the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #330,  and the Clean and Simple challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More #349.

Can you stand one more birthday card?  With a scooter!  I am seeing scooters all over blog land and also in my town.  This cute scooter is Good Times by Ellen Hutson.  I used the sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches #329 (flipped it), Inkspirational Challenge #191--I was inspired by the balloons in the photo, and The Library Challenge #339: Five Weeks in a Balloon.

Change of pace....my last card is a baby card, using a sweet die set I won from Poppystamps last month--Whittle Ducks.  I looked for a sentiment that said something about having your ducks all in a row, but when I couldn't find that, I decided to make a baby card.

I am entering this card at Poppystamps #58: Animal Kingdom and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Waves.

Are you exhausted?  I am!

Birthdays and Babies

I am sneaking away from Superbowl commercials to post three cards I made this weekend.  I'll be brief...

First up is a card that combines a brand new stamp and die (Celebrate) with one of my oldest favorite (Dot Spot).  I am playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch #207,  Inkspirational #127: Polka Dots, and Happy Little Stampers February CAS Challenge:  Blue.

With this next card, I am playing along, for the first time (I think) with MFT Color Challenge #62,  Simon Says Monday Pet's Corner and Addicted to CAS #104: Pets.  Now, I realize that elephants are a very non traditional pet, but these were the dies I really wanted to use, and I am sure that there is someone somewhere with a couple of pet elephants.

Last up is a card inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink #345 and the colors at Color Throwdown #428.

That's it for me this week.
