Well, it's late now, and I'm just now getting back to the computer. I was out running errands today (if you call the stamp store and scrapbook store errands), then some family arrived from out of town, so here it is, 11:30. Sorry about that!
Anyway, I made these two cards on Tuesday night. We were getting ready for bed, and I was really itching to participate in some of the challenges this year. I didn't do any last year. So, I made both of these cards in a matter of 30 minutes or so (because I was supposed to be on my way to bed), which for me is super fast. Normally, I'm a very slow stamper.
The first card is for Christine's watercolor challenge (and technically, it counts for Julie's challenge to make a card using a plain white base). I had this great stamp, which I don't know the name of and can't find out right now because my niece and nephew are sleeping on our futon, which is in our family room basement, which houses my craft space. So, there won't actually be complete recipes for any of these cards. But, if you have questions, just let me know and I'll get back to you. Anyway, here's a fun, quick little card. One stamp, some watercoloring, and some ribbon. That's it!

Stamps: Rubber Romance Ink: Adirondak Pitch Black, various SU! dye inks for watercoloring
Paper: PTI White
Accessories: aqua painter, black gingham ribbon
This next card is for Julie's white base card challenge, but it didn't originally start that way. It actually started as a card for Jody's ribbon challenge where you had to pick a yummy ribbon and use that as the starting place for your card. Well, I had some really cute ribbon that's been in my stash for over a year. I should have taken a picture of it. That ribbon decided my three color choices for this card. In the end, however, the ribbon just didn't work on the card. It was too bold for the white card base. Maybe I'll get inspired to try that one again. Anyway, here's the card.

Sometime tomorrow, I'll sneak away from the fam and post the next Punch Class card and maybe another challenge card if I get time to create.
This gorgeous cake is for Jenn's Dare to Get Dirty Inspiration Challenge. Just looking at this cake amazes me. This must be a primo designer cake. I never saw cakes like this when I was planning my wedding! While I was out yesterday, I found this paper by American Crafts that really reminded me of the cake. I picked it up along with a few others in the same family (green, black, white) to play with just for this challenge. It's really perfect for this, don't you think?
