Jen's Sketch

I made this using Jen's sketch (Pieces of Me). This was a really fun sketch to follow! All supplies are from Stampin' Up unless otherwise stated.
Stamp Set: Baroque Motifs, All Year Cheer
Ink and Card Stock: Purely Pomegranite, Blue Bayou, Black
Accesories: 1/2" circle punch (guard removed) for scallops, CM cutting system, black brads



This is Jen's sketch:

Cupcakes

I made this card for Greg's sketch challenge. I dusted off my rarely used Treat Yourself set.
You can't really see it, but the top of the cupcake is fully glittered.
I used a scallop square and ribbon that I got in a RAK from CaramelSue on Splitcoast Stampers. Thanks, Sue!


And this is Greg's sketch:

Joy Fold Card

I finally got around to doing Beate's challenge-a Joy Fold card. You can find Beate's tutorial here. I used the paper from Sentimental Journey pack (SU) that I bought and totally forgot about. It's actually really nice paper!
I will send this to my friend Sherida before she leaves for Convention!

With a name like Wickedly Wonderful Creations, how can one NOT be tempted to have a peek? Well, you will not be dissapointed! Wendy has only been blogging since May and has posted some wickedly cute craetions! And you definitely want to check out her new stamping space! WOW...I'm so jealous! Wendy has shared her system for storing her stamps, and although it seems complicated to me, I'm sure most others will find it very helpful!
Wendy has been paper crafting for 10 years. "I started with
scrapbooking and added stamping about 5 years ago. I have been an SU
demo for almost two years. It's a good way for me to relax and unwind!"

Friendship Blessings

This was made for Colleen's Thursday Throwdown. We were to use her sketch to create a card. I used paper and brads from CTMH and the sentiment is from the set God's Blessings by Stampin' Up.

7 Random Facts

I was tagged from Well Said Cards AND also tagged by Kitty...
I need to reveal 7 random facts about myself. Then I need to tag 7 other people!
1-I bite my nails...to the nib!
2-I went to Night School and took grade 12 chemistry...and got a 93% final grade!
3-My husband is 14 years older than me. (well, chronologically...mentally, he's still 12).
4-I have Anxiety Disorder and take medication every day. I've also suffered from Depression in the past.
6-I am adopted.
7-I love to watch the Comedy Channel.

I changed some of my "taggees" as they had already been tagged! Laura,Sarah, Alex, Alisa,Kimmie , Melissa, Valerie,

Scallops Everywhere!

The colours are from SCS Colour Challenge 121. While making this card, I decided to do Beate's Weekend Sketch at the same time! I just learned how to use the circle punch to make scallops (yeah, I know...I've been under a rock) so I used it to make the scallop circles! LOVE them! Used the slit punch for the panel, though.

First Challenge of the Month!

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I went to my friend Sherida's and scrapped the day away on Saturday, went to a Bar-B-Q on Sunday and went back to Sherida's on Monday for more scrapping!
Got back into my blog routine this morning and got caught up with everyone's posts. Decided to try Jen's sketch challenge over at Pieces of Me.



Stamp set: Baroque Motifs
