Feeling incredibly inspired by Pinterest, I whipped up these little bookmarks for my students. On Valentine's Day, I put a bookmark on each student's desk. They loved them! I love that little heart punch from Stampin' Up!. Before anyone thinks about jumping all over me for using the paintchips, I was assured that it was okay to take them. Now, I need a St.Patrick's Day goodie appropriate for middle schoolers. Any ideas?

A Little Birdie Told Me...

I love this little Stampin' Up set. The birds, depending on the colors and papers you combine them with, can be used for all types of cards. This one simply says, "Hello There" and I love the way it turned out. The little buttons mimic the polka dot pattern of the paper. This was a little out of my box because I used green, my least favorite color. However, I thought it was fitting with St. Patrick's Day right around the corner.

What are your favorite challenge blogs?

I miss blogging, and I hope to get some cards made and posted here very, very soon. The Christmas vacation from school will give me a VERY welcome break from the chaos I've recently experienced, and hopefully I'll get some new cards created.

I love Challenge Blogs because they give me direction and inspire me to think outside of my usual box.

So, what are your favorite challenge blogs? Please leave me a comment with the name of the blog and a link.

Thanks for stopping by . . . .

Poor, poor neglected blog...

... My blog has been neglected for far too long. My papercrafting projects have been neglected, too. That's okay, though, as I have been delighting myself in Bible reading, prayer, and focusing on my family and friends. Life is good. I am blessed.

Stay tuned.... school is out... I have time to papercraft and a whole lotta inspiration!

Got Pink?

So, Challenge #62 at Hand Stamped Sentiments is to make a

pink-a-licioius card. I love, love, love combining pink with black. Hence, this little creation. The "Bee Well" stamp is another gem from the Micheal's $1 bin. The bee is glittery pink, and I inked the white paper flowers with a soft pink. All of the papers were from my scrap bag, as was the polka dotted ribbon and button. A few pink Dew Drops ... and wah lah!

Under the Weather

I'm sharing this card for the Challenge over at 365 Cards. If you are looking for a challenge blog with fresh and unique challenges, I highly reccommend 365 cards. The challenges they post are appropriate for all kinds of skill levels and for any type of card maker .... clean and simple, or fru fru, and everything in between. Specifically, this card is for Day #38: Just A Touch Challenge. The challenge was to color any image with only two colors, using any method. So, I inked up this "Under the Weather" stampin up set and added only the orange and blue colors with my Bic Mark-Its. The inside of the card reads, "Hope you real soon you're feeling much better!"

Childlike Wonder

I wanted to keep these cards fun and playful, and I'm posting them for Challenge #83 at Stampin Sisters in Christ. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite blogs because the challenges are posted along with so much scripture, Biblical truth, and encouragement. God Bless the Sisters who post there and take the time to post such thoughtful and insightful readings.

So, I first made the card with a brunette, and then I sat back and said, "Blondes need love, too." Then I made a blonde. I can't choose a favorite.The stickles look much more whimsical in person. The images were fun to color with Bic Mark-its.

I look forward to reading your comments and thank you for stopping by my blog.
