Woodware Challenge... Anything Goes!

So... when a challenge reads "anything goes" I tend to step outside of the box and let the creativity go. SOOO, that being said... I got out the Woodware Peel Off stickers and the Pearl Ex and this is what happened. I stuck the stickers onto the cardstock and then I got my Versamarker out. I colored in the empty spaces with it and then I rubbed Pearl Ex into the when I removed the stickers, this is what I was left with. I added the Merry Christmas in the corner and tied the organza ribbon. So no real stamping at all... but I did use stamping supplies... cuz ANYTHING GOES! please remember to play along with us this week and you can be entered into a drawing to win a great monthly prize! Check out the details here...

Thanks for popping in!

Woodware USA Challenge Number 41... 3-2-1!!!

This is my take on the Challenge over at Woodware USA. This is a 3-2-1- challenge and that means that you will use 3 different papers,2 embellishments and one image! So here is my take on this using this precious dog set. I colored it with copic markers and then i used the bow and the hearts for the embellies and the

3 papers are the brown, the red and the argyle! I hope that you will play along with us this week at Woodware USA and we look forward to seeing what you will create!

Woodware Color Challenge... Kraft, Red and Your Choice!

So I chose white! I am a card maker that tends to get a little carried away with the bling and glitz on a card... so I was really happy when I came up with this! I love the look... the technique is fun and it is still a clean looking card! I punched some flowers with my new SU dial a punch and adhered them to the crumb cake card stock... AKA craft. Then I ran it through the cuttlebug in an embossing folder and I got this super cool card! Whee!!! I tied the red and white polka dot ribbon and added the sentiment from Birdsong... and here it is! I hope that you like this look and will try this technique...AND don't forget to play along with us at WOODWARE USA this week... what color will you choose?
