Gina K Designs Guest DT challenge

Ok so the final challenge for the February Guest DT challenge at Gina K Designs was a sketch challenge.

Here is my card for the final challenge:

Side view to show the layers I used on this card:

For this card I used the sentiment from "Take Flight" and the bird and flowers are from a newer set called "Stampers Favorite".  My pattern papers are from Basic Grey and the solid from Stampin Up.

Well that's all for the GKD Guest DT call, fingers crossed!

Till later!

Gina K Designs Guest DT challenge #3

This is awesome!  I'm still at it and finished challenge #3 for the Gina K Designs Guest DT call!  This challenge was called Tag It!  You had to make a set of tags of 2 or more.  So I pulled out my new favorite stamp called Birthday Hoot.  I paper pieced his hat and balloons using the paper pack called Birthday Hoot.  The Solid paper is also by GDK in Sweet Mango and Creme deMenthe.  The twine is by The Twinery.

This is super fun stuff!  Fingers crossed!

Till later!

Gina K Guest DT Challenge #2

Hey there!

So I'm still plugging away with the Gina K challenges!  They are up to the 2nd challenge of 4.  You have to play in all the challenges to be eligible to win a guest DT spot!  This challenge is to make a shape card, any shape just not your traditional square/rectangle.

For my first card I decided to go with hearts:

I used my heart framelits from Stampin Up. I layered the hearts using pop dots, some faux pearls and stamps from the Stamp TV Kit called Spring Mix and the sentiment "love" is from Asela's set called "Dream Birds".  My pattern paper is from MME called Kiss and Tell.

Super fun stuff!

Till later!

Just Us Girls Technique Challenge

It's Technique week at Just Us Girls and this week we are paper piecing!  So simple and oh so much fun!  I LOVE IT and it's a great thing to do if you don't want to color.  Pattern papers are so much fun check out my snowman:

This is from the Gina K Designs set called Warm Winter Wishes.  My pink card stock is Gina K Designs Innocent Pink and Stampin Up Real Red.  I used a pattern paper pack by My Mind's Eye called Kiss and Tell.
