Special Challenges

Good Friday Morning To Ya!

This week was so quick and busy too! But I have to say I am happy that we are at another weekend! Hope you have some fun things planned. Not sure yet what we'll be up to, but I'm sure we can find something.

Today is new challenge day over at Just Magnolia and Stamp Something. These week are special challenges on both JM and SS.

Just Magnolia

First at Just Magnolia it's our special monthly challenge with a tutorial from Mindy Baxter using ribbon to create a pretty edge detail. This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says! Remember to use a Magnolia image to qualify for the prize.

This is my card using the tutorial with a piece of lace. I love the ribbon border idea and it was really easy to do. Hope you'll give it a try too!

I've used a Tilda image and colored her with Copics, unfortunately the camera changed the colors of my blues to more green-blue. In real life the colors match these pretty SU! Parisian Breeze papers. I've used Baja and Chocolate card stock and embellished with flowers, pearls, brads, and a ticket sentiment from Whimsy Stamps.

This card also fits the challenge at:
Charisma Cardz: Flowers

Stamp Something

Next I have my Stamp Something card and this week we've started a special monthly challenge at Stamp Something. Each month will be be hosting Digi Days in support of all the fabulous digital stamp companies out there. We hope it will encourage you to take the digi plung! We will have multiple company sponsors which means multiple blog candy winners! Stop by SS and check out who we have this week!

We are also currently holding a design team call for some new members to join the Stamp Something team for July through December. If you're interested, visit the SS blog for more info!

I've created my card using an image from Bugaboo Stamps! They have some really cute images and some really funny ones too! I opted for cute!

I've used this sweet elephant with a balloon image and colored with Copics. I CASEd the layout from Bev and her fabulous card seen HERE. I loved her layout and the use of the spiral punch. I always forget I even have that punch! I've used some My Minds Eye papers and blue card stock. I stitched the edges on the sewing machine and added buttons and hemp twine to embellish. I also finished with a ticket sentiment from Whimsy Stamps.

This card fits the challenges at:
Crafty Catz: Boys are Back
Crafty Pad: Male Cards

Thanks so much for dropping by today. Hope you have a marvelous weekend!

Happy Stamping,
