HAPPY WORLD CARDMAKING DAY!!!

It's word week at Just Us Girls!  This week Sue is our wonderful hostess and our word is Sympathy.

I always have trouble with sympathy cards and pretty much refrain from making them.  But here is what I came up with using Unity Stamps:

In the end I feel like it might be too colorful for a sympathy card but didn't have time to make a new one.

Be sure to stop by our fabulous Design Team and see what they cooked up this week:

The Mixed Media Card Challenge

It's October and time for some new Mixed Media challenges!  First up over at The Mixed Media Card Challenge blog this month our theme is Black & Orange!  

Here is what I came up with:

I started with Ranger Manilla cardstock. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks in the background.  The images from Unity Stamp Co. are stamped and embossed in black.  

I added clear stickles around the edges of the sentiment in the middle.

Just Us Girls Challenge

I'm this week's hostess at JUST US GIRLS and picked some Fall colors!  I love the fall so I wanted to go with these colors but of course you do not have to make a fall card. 

 I tried to pull of these great colors together in this card along with the brown. With color challenges I always hesitate and think I should just use the colors that the challenge says.  But I suppose as long as those colors are the highlight it's ok.

Here is what I created.
