Wedded bliss

I will be attending a wedding today, and i love this penny Black bike stamp and was able to use it in the penny black Staurday challenge. the sentiment is Stampin up, the ovals were of course cut with spellbinders.The left edge is done using EK success punch.

congratulations Rena and Felipe

Happy birthday America

Its almost the forth of July so I have my patriotic stamps and stars of course out on the stamp table so a Penny Black red white and blue theme challenge seems about right. I bayered a red stripe on g-rated glossy linen, added stars (Stampin up) and the Penny black butterfly, America from print works print works and the star punches at the bottom Martha Stewart. Looks kind of patriotic. I almost forgot i glued blue strip under the punching so the start on the bottom would be visible. This card also is entered in the Happily ever crafter challenge. enter if you have a red white and blue entry!

Happy 4th!

swirl frog

My sons visiting with his dog and I’m in the process of adopting a new dog and I’ve been spending my usual card making time with my son and the dogs…. three chihuahuas, not a house full but a lot of dogs !

The Penny black challenge was to use swirls so I used one with ink and one cuttlebugged into the background card. the oval with spellbinders nestabilities. . The stamp is penny black, the swirl hero arts and the color for the frog and flower are chalked.

Frogs and flowers

It’s Saturday and I’m back from Denver trying out my new camera for cards.
I’m not sure if this is really in focus, tried several times but couldn’t get it clearer.
the challenge was flowers and i had to use the new pb stamp I bough in Denver,
( one of many on the sale shelf at Hobby Lobby). the frogs are chalked and I added
punched flowers.

Monochromatic brown frogs

The Penny Black challenge 97 is to create a card in monochrome brown.. Since I have so many stacks of paper I just had to go through and choose the browns. Isn’t the one with the flowers, perfect? I like all my stamps but the frogs are best!
