Challenge Card #31

Card #31
I did it 31 cards in 31 days. This card was inspired by the ribbon I found at a local pottery store. I stamped black dots on red card stock, added the ribbon to outside. The inside I stamped red dots and drew my own lady bugs on the red background. I came up with the saying/poem for the card.

This challenge was GREAT. I have made a lot of my family cards for the year but I still have a lot more to go. I want to thank Jennifer Wuthrich for the challenge and for getting me going.

Thanks for sharing this experience with me.

I used some of my RAK paper flowers and stamps from Carol on this card. Still trying to figure out how to make my cards pop a little more so this one is lacking something but I think it is still cute.

Challenge Card #29

Card #29

This is just an extras bday card. I cut happy birthday out of glitter card stock, for another card, and it didn't cut all the way through so I just pulled off the top layer. It left the negative so I used glitter glue to pop the negative and used deco scissors to cut around it. I matted it on a piece of patterned paper and used extra cuts from both on the inside.

Challenge Card #28

Card #28

I think this card is cute. It is made with Chip from MAF and Relax from Paper Pups. I had cut these months ago and have been trying to use what I have already cut and these seemed to work together.

Challenge Card #27

This card is made with a Roo form PAH that I cut before Christmas and had it in a pile of extra stuff. I thought it was a great pose to have for a Big Bday Wish for my daughter to give to her grandmother. Enjoy.

Challenge Card #26

Card #26
I made this card from a frame that I cut from the PAF cartridge and was lying around in a drawer. I used it as a tag holder and printed my message on the pieces of paper thanks to BarbaraRouse's instructions on her blog. Here is the link... http://spotofsanity.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-print-on-die-cut-shapes.html.
It is a different type of "card" but I like the way it turned out. Enjoy

Simple Bday Card with Genie from Aladdin. He is one of my favorite characters - maybe because I like Robin Williams. He is cut at 5" (which didn't seem that small but it has lot of little pieces.)
