4 new cards using all kinds of challenges...

I'm trying to follow challenges from different stamp companies, and from SCS - I decided to make some different thank you cards this time. I'm trying to do the challenges to help things stay fresh - it's out of my comfort zone, for sure! Loving some free time for my vice, I mean hobby! LOL!

 This was a layout challenge, and ink masking technique challenge. Way out of my comfort zone, and that's why I wanted to try it!

 This card goes with a storyline of Tuesday Teapot challenges, and had to include 3 daisies and a bee. I LOVE the cute frog image.

 This card follows a different layout challenge, as well as a color challenge. I didn't have all of the right colors, but I love the layout and final product!

The Hambo Hoedown challenge I had to follow for this one was to incorporate a Hambo stamp, and have a gatefold type card (one that opens our like a swinging door.) Thanks to my girl, Bev, otherwise known as Beestamper (the lovely and talented!!) for letting me  borrow your stamps for this one. I hope I did it justice!

4 new funny girlfriend cards! Me likey the funny ones!

Having fun with some very funny girlfriend images. They just crack me up! TFL!

New set of Girlfriend cards - Beach themed - Funny! Funny!

My friend requested this set of 10 Girlfriend cards for herself, and another friend. This set of humorous beach themed cards is what I came up for her. What a hoot it was to put these together! I pulled out Bugaboo, Art Impressions, Hambo, and Rubbernecker stamps, typed sentiments and names, and all of my bright colors and bling. She also requested 10 different beach themed, personalized cards, to be sold as a set. Then she also encouraged me to set up this blog, where they can be ordered and shipped! Refer to previous posts for pricing of the sets, and shipping info. She then had me do a set of personalized spiritual cards, and they can also be found on my new blog. She’s really keeping me busy, delivering set after set for her to give as personalized gifts! I'm looking to have an online business, and I'm excited! Thanks!
