Valentine and a Color Challenge...

I love these two new challenge blogs that a friend sent me to - great challenges and one can never have too many of those to keep the creative juices flowing.. Elle the elephant was colored with Copics (cool grays and light RV mainly) for Stamp Something challenge blog and Sentimental Sundays blog (red, pink and white).

OWH Midweek Throwdown: Masculine Card

It's a "manly" card....images from a new stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Occasions mini book

OWH Sketch 56

I took a little creative license with this one since I had already watercolored 15 of these Easter baskets for the Spring Thaw challenge.. really just couldn't get the 3/4" piece to work... and I rotated it....

The Afterthought: Misson Organize Stamps

After "finishing" my organization project I saw a friend's stamp storage system and loved it but I spent only $70 for this new JetMax unit (vs 360 for the other unit!) which houses all my stamps except for my growing collection of Stampin' Up! clear stamps (I am a demonstrator....) which fit nicely in this $1 bargain from Target... hanging in the closet which now has no doors! I love Target!
It may be a small room but it's my small room..." and it's DONE!!!! i mean it really is this time, seriously.....

OWH Patriotic Colors & DYSU Ribbon Challenge

I love the Stampin'Up "Big Note" Sizzix die! I covered a 4x5 piece of cardstock with 3M adhesive and adhered red/white and blue ribbon, then cut on the Sizzix. Covered the ribbon with a thin piece of copy paper while I was cutting it to protect the ribbon..

This card for the OWH Stars and Stamps color challenge (red, white, blue and Kraft paper) and will be sent to a soldier to thank him/her for his service. It is also being submitted for the Do You Stack Up Challenge#6 -Ribbon and the ribbon challenge at Sketches4All.

Mojo Monday 176 and On the Farm Challenges

I'm still sailing on the Raisin Boat and lovin' this Chicken Coop set but can't decide if I prefer the ladies on the craft cardstock or springy blue. Here is this week's sketch on Mojo Monday:

The "ladies" are also participating in the Midweek On The Farm challenge at Operation Write Home.
