Challenge #5 - 3rd card

Quick post before I decide that I really don't like this card! I'm struggling with my new camping stamps ... hmm, maybe it is repressed anger from all the trips to the Kansas State Fair when I do days and days of prep work and work my big ole bootie off the whole time we are there (Oh my goodness, I think I am turning into my mother the martyr! I really do like to go to the fair!) ... or maybe not!

Stamps by A Muse, CS by SU!, loving the Glue Pad and silver glitter!

Zombie Dog Walker

Well, it happened - no A Muse stamps anywhere on this card! I'll wipe my tears and move on! One of my BFF's, Aura (get a blog, girlfriend!) went to a great stamp store in St. Louis and picked up a My Favorite Things set for me a couple of weeks ago! Thanks, Aura! I played with it a bit this week - it's so much fun to color it! I had this card sitting on my desk, and my husband came down and said, "What happened to her head?" I explained that she doesn't have a head - that's the fun! Then my 10 year old saw the same card and said "What happened to her head?" Same explanation! Then he said "Cool, Mom, she's the Zombie Dog Walker!" Hmmm - not sure what to say about that!

I am really having issues with my scanner! This looks so much better IRL! The ribbon on the far right is pretty in pink??? WTH! Stamps by MFT, paper by SU!, ribbon by SU! and TJL, brads by Heidi Swapp (picked those bad boys up from Stamping Cottage - on sale and super fast shipping!) There is more bling on here then shows up - SSGP on the polka dots, and all the dogs hats and collars! Looks great, really!

Challenge #5 - 2nd card

Ahh, relax - that sounds like a really good idea! Can you hear the maniacal laughter coming from my kids? Relax? Yeah, right! So, do you think you can make a scene with just one stamp? Okay, two with the sentiment! I think it counts! Card is 4 1/4 square, paper by SU!, punches by SU!, stamps by A Muse, Prima from TJL, bling brad from Joanne's, embossing thanks to the BUG! Thanks for looking! Sorry for the semi-horrible scan - just couldn't get it right with the bling!

Challenge #5 - First card

This is an example of thinking way too hard! Just make cards, Tish! I need to remind myself that just because I am surrounded by genius - did you all see Sarah's super hero card?? It rocks!- doesn't mean that I have to be uber clever all the time too! Sometimes, a tree is just a tree, and a car is just a car!

This card is a normal A2 size - I couldn't quite fit it on a 4 1/4 square! I used an embossing pen and the silver EP from SU! for the camper - going for that Airstream look! Stamps are all A Muse, ribbon from Miss Texas Jody Lynn, paper SU!. Bling rating = low! TFL!
