STV's Friday Challenge - use Kraft cardstock!

hi there,
could there be an easier challenge (-:

Cat is heading this one up and I completely agree with her on the Kraft cardstock - goes with everything...for me I decided to do a simple CAS card (ok, for those of you who do REAL CAS cards, this is as CAS as it gets for me  LOL)
I just can't leave a card alone !!

lightly sponged with Memento's Rich Cocoa and Color Box Frost White, white embossed sentiment on GKD's chocolate....love it on the white cardbase

GKD ribbon, two different Cuttlebug folders, Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Accents, circle punch and

sentiment is from GKD's Showtime Stamp Kit "Picture It"

Hi there,
Love this set - entering it over at the challenge at Copic Creations

Butterflies are done with Y00, 02, 06, 17 and 28 and they were clear embossed before pieced....

Design Divas Oldies but Goodies Blog Hop

Our facebook group does this every third Wednesday - challenge is just to use "something" in our stash that's at least six months old! ....and WOW do I have a lot of "that"  LOL
If you are hopping, you should have come from the super talented blog of Mary Harmon ...and I'm the last in the hop so if you wanted to start at the beginning, pop over to the awesome blog of Cindy Grigiski

for this hop I pulled out a favorite old stamp from All Night Media but it doesnt have a name - there is a number if you are interested - its 485j01.  I fell in love with it several years ago when my BFF Jennie Harper made a card using it and I had to have it...took me forever to find it but finally did on Ebay!!! hope you like it

GKD Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop

hi there - i so enjoy these GKD hops! For this hop, we've been given a sketch from Melissa Cash that was a real challenge and so much fun to work with...and if you're following the hop, you should have arrived here from her awesome blog!

 Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (May 17th), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!  if you want to start at the beginning, just go here at STV

and here are my cards

hope you see the sketch in each one - had trouble adding the accents in same spot as sketch...

now - I have a problem - this is the second post I've done for this hop because Blogger deleted previous posts and my details for each card are at home - I'm visiting daughter and family here in North Carolina... and who would of thought Blogger would have had such a serious problem - sure am glad they fixed it though...shows how much card sharing is dependent on blogger...

so on to the fabulous blog of Kay Simmons

hope you liked my cards...

Enjoy the hop (-:

welcome Monday! sure hate to see weekend end....

had fun creating this card with my new set from Marks Finest Paper - called "Butterflies, Dianthus and Flourishes" and entering it in their challenge this week. It's Vicki's last challenge since she has decided to step down as their DT Coordinator after a year! She has done an incredible job! It was exciting watching that challenge grow to being a "super site" a year later...congrats Vicki!

I created this card using the requirements for the card challenge this week at Joan's Gardens:

use pink/lime, lattice, leaves and butterflies!

Cardstock from SU and scrap dp, plus dp from Basic Grey, colored with Copics RV02, RV95, G07, G14, and V06, gorgeous lace from stash with lime green ribbon underneath, butterflies stamped with Memento Black onto scrap of same dp, MS lattice punch, hat pin made from my pin from my Easter corsage, mini pearls, and stickles!! Ticket made by stamping sentiment onto kraft cs and punching corners with SU corner punch then matted onto lime cs to match card base.

Have a blessed day...give somebody a hug (-:
