Challenge: Bright Yellow Birthday Card

I made this sun-shiny little card for my cousin Rose's birthday. I hope she liked it. :)

I made use of TGF's Simply Anya image.  The sentiment is MFT. The pretty trim and ribbon are treasures from my stash. 


For this card, I made use of a PageMaps sketch from Fia's sketch challenge over at the Sketches4All community site.


I am also submitting my card creation to these challenges.

I hope you like what you see here today. You should also hop on to the rest of the Sunday girls' blogs to see what they came up with with their DRS Designs rubber stamps.

S4All: Wifey Cookie's ABC Challenge: G for Good


Moving on to the next letter in Wifey Cookie's ABC Challenge... It's time for the letter G to take the spotlight.
G for "Good"

Wifey Cookie wants to see the word "Good" on your project.  Make sure it is visible. I don't want to miss it! :)
Here is my example. I hope you find some inspiration from it.


The stamp is a rubber from DRS Designs - http://drsdesigns.com/products/Birthday-Candle-Burst.html

Wifey Cookie's G for "Good" Challenge runs from 21 June to 20 July, 2012, so you have a full month to put together a project to wow not just me but the whole of the growing S4All family! :)

Here are some simple rules to follow when playing in Wifey Cookie's ABC Challenge.
  • As usual, it's anything goes! You can create a card, an LO, a tag, an altered project, anything! As long as it follows the theme of course!
  • It must be a project created within the time frame of the challenge.  
  • It's alright to combine with other challenges.  The more the merrier!
  • Post your entries at Wifey Cookie's Challenge Group Post here.  I won't look for it anywhere else.
  • You can post as many entries as you want. You get an entry into the random drawing for every project you submit.
  • And the most important rule of all, THINK GOOD & HAPPY THOUGHTS! :)

Here's what's up for grabs when you join in the fun...

RAK #1 goes to a Randomly Picked entry by Hubby Cookie
RAK #2 goes to the FIRST Member who posts a project

Sounds good? I am excitedly anticipating to receive all of your entries!  And there are also lots of other fun challenges over at the Sketches4All community. We'd love to see you in there! :)

365 Cards: Day 109 - Super Sketchy Sunday (Sketch by Pam Maas)

Here's your Day 109 sketch.  Ready your papers and tools, and let's play Super Sketchy Sunday!


And here is my take. I hope you find some inspiration from it. ;)





The cushion pillows are from a rubber care of The Greeting Farm's Sitting Cute set.  Same goes for the sentiment. I used scraps of patterned papers on this one.

Hop on over to the other Sunday girls' blogs to see what inspiration they offer you this week. :)




After that, be sure to visit the 365 Cards Challenge blog to link up your card creation.

Thank you for visiting. Leave me some love. :)
